In the aftermath of a major earthquake that cuts off power and communication between the Cohens and their loved ones, Seth must take over Ryan’s role as the protector when Ryan is injured and the boys are stranded on a deserted road. Summer and Taylor worry about their missing boyfriends while searching for Summer’s escaped pet rabbit - and the quake leads to an unexpected reunion for Taylor. Trapped in a ruined ice cream shop, the scared Julie and Kaitlin spend the time bonding and dealing with an amorous clerk - until they are saved by the only man in Newport for Julie. And Sandy takes charge of the frightened crowd in a damaged shopping mall.

O.C actor Adam Brody, better known as the geeky Seth Cohen, has revealed that he is desperate for an O.C spin off.

The O.C was axed last year because of falling ratings, however Adam loved his geeky character and has hinted that he may be headlining a new spin off series.

He said: “I’m still waiting for the spin-off. He needs one.”

Taylor eagerly prepares for her first real birthday celebration, but she frets over the fact that Ryan has still not told her he loves her. Even more concerning is the fact that she has secretly applied to and been accepted at Berkeley, the same school Ryan is going to attend. Summer helps Taylor come up with a plan to help Ryan express his feelings. Meanwhile, Kaitlin misbehaves outrageously as a reaction to Julie dating Frank (guest star Kevin Sorbo), and Julie finds out there’s more than just the usual Cooper rebelliousness behind Kaitlin’s actions. Kirsten deals with more than her share of catty Newport women when she joins a yoga class. Summer wishes Seth were passionately interested in something, the way she is about the environment. And a powerful earthquake shakes Newport Beach.
