Meanwhile, Sandy tells a rightly-annoyed Kirsten that Max's memorial is just going to be attended by him and his ex-luvah Rebecca, so they can bond more over his cremated human remains. Sounds like a party. Kirsten busies herself with Caleb, who wants to formally adopt Lindsay--much to the shock of Julie, who persuades him that he should do a DNA test first. Julie visits Lindsay's mother (who has been oddly lacking in any of the recent episodes), and warns her about the test, which prompts Lindsay's mother to try and get Ryan to persuade Lindsay out of the adoption. At the party that Caleb has held for the announcement of the adoption, Ryan tells Lindsay that there is a possibility that Caleb might not be her father, and Caleb tells her he wants to take the test, causing Lindsay to run off and then drive away.

Seth tries to interrogate Zach about a Summer-Zach sexual union, which leads Summer to beat Seth with a pillow, and to disclose that, actually, nothing happened in San Diego. We find out later, when Zach meets up with a now-showered Seth, that this is because Zach has always had the notion of no premarital sex, even though he is not strictly religious, yet he feels that this notion has now changed. He wants to have sex when the harmony between place and girl is right, and apparently this is in Tuscany. This revelation causes Seth to give up and collapse once again into wallowing--although we know that Summer actually isn't all that interested in doing it with Zach anyway, as she reveals to Coop (Marissa). Seth doesn't know this, though and goes around to Summer's telling her he is over her and cool with Summer and Zach doing it. Oh, what tangled webs they weave.

Kirsten, meanwhile is visited by the FBI, and then visits Rebecca, questioning her about her feelings towards Mr. Lovable Eyebrows. It turns out that Rebecca does love Sandy, and always will, causing Kirsten to ask her if she can really let the man she loves give up his life. Later on, Sandy goes to Rebecca's hotel and finds her gone, but from a note Rebecca left he discovers that Kirsten visited her, and he and Kirsten quarrel over the situation at Caleb's party.

The Alex-Marissa Storyline
At the club, Marissa sneaks up behind Alex, and then exchanges into playful banter. Alex invites Marissa to a party she is going to have, because some of her friends are coming down this weekend, sparking Marissa to comment "How very Newport of you." Alex says that it would be an opportunity for Marissa to invite Summer, at which point Alex finds out that Summer doesn't know about their relationship. Alex tells Marissa that she assumed Marissa would tell her best friend, but she's okay with Marissa taking her time to do so; Alex honestly doesn't seem all that bothered that Summer doesn't know, but while stroking her hair and loosely hanging her arms around Alex's neck, Marissa tells Alex that she's ready to tell Summer, as long as Alex's party doesn't suck.
