Marissa entered into no-man's land... public school. Although she already made one enemy, she has three solid friends. Ryan, in the same state of suspension as Marissa, is foregoing the awkward situation and getting home tutoring.
Julie was given notice that her home would be sold to pay off Caleb's debts. She missed the deadline to move out on her own and was forced out into a motel while Kirsten chose to move in with Summer.
Kirsten decided to put an end to her father's company, The Newport Group, before it puts an end to itself. Although it was a tough decision, she felt it was the best.
Creepy Charlotte sent Kirsten flowers, but with the ulterior motive of tapping into her checkbook. It was later revealed that Charlotte didn't have an issue with alcoholism at all and had spent $30,000 to get access to vulnerable rich women.
Summer lost her position as social chair because Taylor and the dean of discipline were plotting against her. That isn't all they were sneaking around about: they were also playing a little game of make out in the office.
