Previously on The O.C.:

Ryan, have you seen...?

-Lindsay. -Hey.

My ex is in town, but we never really broke up.

Did you meet the ex?

-I know you did. -All right, yes, I did.

-And who is he? -He's a she.

-Jody went to sleep. -Cool.

-So what do I do? -What do you want to do?

What I want to do is drive over to her apartment right now and ask her flat out

-"Alex, are we in a relationship or are we not?" -Good, man, you should do it.

-He's not doing it. -Ryan, it's been almost a week, okay, and I still don't know where Alex stands.

Is she back together with her lesbian ex?

And if so, are they opento some sort of menage a three-way as in the film Summer Lovers?

-Oh, I didn't even think of that. -Yeah, well, I did, quite a bit, actually.

If you have to wonder about it, it's probably not happening.

Which part, the threesome or the relationship?

-So you never had, like, a moment's doubt about you and Lindsay? -Not really.

-Pollen or something. -All right, there may have been a moment.

Or two.
