The End's Not Near, It's Here (TV) As the Cohen family leaves our TV sets, we look at what happened on the final episode of a pop culture phenomenon.

Seth and Ryan say their goodbyes before Ryan follows Sandy and Kirsten to Berkeley. Seth is happy that he's leaving Ryan funnier than when he found him. Ryan is glad that he's better than when Seth found him and Seth admits that he's also better off than he was before meeting Ryan.

By Jonathan Toomey S04E14) It's the end of the world as we know it. Well... not really, but it might be the end of Newport Beach.

By Jonathan Toomey The season picks up five months after Marissa's death and all the characters are in different phases from when we last left them.

By Lacy Hall Not quite. At the end of the episode, Volchok kidnaps Marissa (is Marissa a total idiot? Who gets in a strange van with sketchy dudes?) and takes her to the pier.

By Karina Longworth Meanwhile, Marissa - always one to do the opposite of the right thing - has chosen to repress, repress, repress the fact that Ryan's brother tried to rape her. OF COURSE she has.

By Kat Parr We won't know if it's a fatal shot until next season, of course, and with Kirsten in rehab and Jimmy back The O.C. writers have given themselves a tabula rasa and a nice dramatic season premiere, that is, the fate of Marissa, post-shooting.

By Lacy Hall The reading of Caleb's will was in this episode too. Turns out the richest man in Newport was broke and Julie and Kirsten get nothing. I hate that Caleb was broke.
