Yo can also comment on the eps if you wish 
The Pilot episode:
Ryan Atwood is a troubled teen who finds himself in even more trouble when his older brother, Trey, bullies him into participating in a car theft late one night in their hometown of Chino, California. The boys don't get far with the car as they crash it and are arrested. Trey is sentenced to three years in prison, but seeing as Ryan is under eighteen, he is set free under the supervision of public defender, Sandy Cohen. After Ryan is thrown out by his mother, he finds himself homeless with nowhere to turn. He calls Sandy, who without hesitation, takes Ryan in, and out, to his cushy home in Newport Beach, California.
Ryan's arrival to Newport Beach sparks many a reaction among established residents. Sandy's wife Kirsten, for one, is not thrilled to have a criminal living in the house, and is concerned of the effect it may have on their son, Seth. While Sandy and Kirsten discuss the situation, Ryan smokes at the end of the Cohen driveway. There, he meets Marissa Cooper, the not-so-much sheltered girl next door. She is waiting for her big-man-on-campus boyfriend, Luke Ward. Marissa and Ryan click from the start and share intrigued glances and light-hearted quips. She doesn't believe his bad-boy persona and assumes he must be the Cohen cousin from out of town. Sandy comes out and interrupts the moment that would be lusty, and Luke arrives to pick up Marissa. Before she leaves, she invites Ryan to the charity fashion show taking place the following night.
The next morning, Ryan meets Seth, who seems just thrilled to have a new friend. And Ryan seems intrigued by Seth and his life. The two play videogames and go sailing. Seth confides to Ryan that he has feelings for Summer, Marissa's best friend. He's even named his boat after her, and plans to sail to Tahiti with her, even though he's never actually spoken to her. Ryan mentions that he's been invited to the fashion show by Marissa, and that Summer will be there. Seth decides to tag along. Up on the hill, Marissa watches the boys, until she hears a knock at the door.
Once again, Government money collectors pay the Cooper home a visit. Marissa is oblivious to their repeated interest in her father, Jimmy Cooper, but covers for him anyway, saying he isn't home. But he is home, just in the next room, and he passes the men at the door off. The day progresses and it's Fashion time. Marissa's mother, Julie Cooper, is introduced as a knows-what's-best mother who seems far too excited about the fashion show. Marissa seems separated, even if subtly, from her mother and younger sister Kaitlin. The fashion show goes on without a hitch. Boys are looking at girls, and girls are looking at boys. Everyone seems pretty interested in Ryan, especially Summer. She invites him to an after-party. Ryan in turn invites Seth, saying it was Summer who had invited them.
At the party, drugs, alcohol, and sex seem to be consuming teens everywhere. Even Ryan looks overwhelmed. Seth, astounded. Meanwhile, back at home, Kirsten worries about Seth's whereabouts while Jimmy walks the dog. The two meet at the end of their driveways. It seems they've known each other for a long while- they have a history. Kirsten seems concerned about Jimmy's recent mood. But Jimmy says all is fine. Back to the party, Summer is making heavy advances on Ryan, and Seth misinterprets this as betrayal by Ryan and he exposes that Ryan is in fact from Chino, a less than stellar place in the Valley. Everyone is disgusted. Seth storms off to the beach, where Luke, and other "popular" boys decide to harass him. But Ryan comes to the rescue, and takes Seth home. Seth cannot believe how nice Ryan is to him, and he falls asleep insisting he'll never forget it. Outside, Summer and Holly return Marissa to her driveway, and they leave her there passed out. Ryan goes out and carries Marissa into the pool house where Seth and he sleep. She is gone the next morning.
The next morning also sees Kirsten furious that Seth was out all night, drunk, and in a fight. She blames the out-of-character behaviour on Ryan, and she insists he leave. Sandy will drive him back to the valley that afternoon. Seth is saddened by Ryan's departure and gives him a big hug, thanking him for being a friend.
As Sandy and Ryan drive away, Ryan spots Marissa at the end of the driveway, again waiting for Luke. Ryan watches Marissa in front of the sunset, and she watches back. They seem sad… love lost. When Ryan and Sandy arrive in Chino, at Ryan's rundown house, Ryan thanks Sandy for everything he's done. He goes into the house to find he's been deserted by his mother and step-father. Sandy enters and realizes Ryan won't be staying there. So he takes him home, back to Newport Beach. This time for good.
And so begins a new life for Ryan, the Cohen's and the Coopers, and basically everyone else in the wealthy, picturesque, secretive, turbulent community of Orange County
