 Ryan finds himself truly out in the cold when he s suspended from school, shunned by Marissa, and even scrutinized by the Cohens, all of whom refuse to believe Ryan s claims that that Oliver is a dangerous sociopath and obsessed with Marissa. Ironically, the only person who believes Ryan is Luke, who agrees to help Ryan make a background check on Oliver to find any dirt on him. But when Luke reveals evidence to Marissa, and then Sandy, that some of Oliver s references from his old school are false, they refuse to believe Luke, especially after learning that he s been talking with Ryan. Meanwhile, Jimmy thinks his past will impair his ability to work in the business field again. Seth continues dating Anna who thinks Summer s presence around them is not a good thing. Things come to a head when Oliver begins losing his bland, self-control to lie when Marissa comes by to his penthouse to tell him that she not interested in a relationship with him. Then, he really loses it and Marissa sees (way too late) that Ryan was right about Oliver when he holds her hostage with a gun.
