As a thank you for helping him avoid jail, Oliver invites Ryan, along with the rest of the crew to his parents'� mansion in Palm Springs. Once there, tension soars between Ryan and Oliver, as the former hogs Marissa�'s attention, mocks Ryan�s sub-par golf game, and runs him off the course during a golf cart race. Later that night, Ryan tells Oliver to stay away from Marissa and Oliver responds by yelling, breaking a plate and leaving the house. He calls Marissa two hours later, claiming that he has taken a bunch of pills and asking her to come back to Newport and help him. Viewers, however, see that Oliver has simply hidden the pills in a clock on the table. When Ryan and Marissa arrive at Oliver'�s apartment, Oliver says that he has thrown up all the pills and refuses to be taken to the ER. The episode ends with a sympathetic Marissa spending the night at the apartment and Ryan, after making the argument that Oliver may have faked the suicide attempt, leaving in angst.
