Ep 4:
Most of the story of this episode is based around the Cotillion, the annual debutante ball where Newport's most accomplished young women make their debut into 'society'. The episode begins with the Cohens announcing to Ryan that they have taken guardianship of him and that he will now be part of their family. As a 'welcome to the family' gift, they buy him a tuxedo for Cotillion. And wouldn't you know, Summer comes around and decides Ryan will be her date to Cotillion. This, just a week after she called him a trash nobody.
Jimmy and Sandy talk about the loan Kirsten gave Jimmy. He apologizes for going around Sandy to get the money, acknowledging that he should have asked Sandy as well. It turns out that the business trouble Jimmy has gotten himself into was actually theft of clients' money to cover his own expenses, and he is now under investigation by the S.E.C.
At the Cotillion 'practice', Ryan and Seth meet their debs (Anna and Summer, respectively) and practice waltzing. Even though Luke is still jealous of Ryan and Marissa's relationship, Marissa invites Ryan to Holly's party. At the party, Marissa talks to Ryan but they are seen by Luke, who then wants to fight Ryan. Ryan refuses, and Luke hits him anyway. Ryan doesn't hit back, but he decides not to go to the Cotillion. He tells Seth it has nothing to do with Luke.
Marissa and her mother Julie discuss the Cotillion. It is obvious that the deb ball is far more important to Julie than it is to Marissa, who decides to skip it. Julie wants to talk to Jimmy about Marissa's lack of participation, but Jimmy is dealing with issues of his own. Holly's father, Greg, is a client of Jimmy's, and he asks Jimmy to pull $200,000 from his investments account. Since Jimmy has spent the money, he tries to avoid the subject.
Sandy and Ryan, the bachelors of the evening, decide to play videogames...until Marissa comes over and asks Ryan to go to the ball after all. Because Marissa and Ryan didn't show to the ball initially, Luke and Anne were out of dates. Summer decided to blow off Seth for Luke, and then Seth picked up Anne. Seth ended up having a great time and really clicking with Anne, who then broke the news that she'd be leaving town for the rest of the summer to take a sailing trip to Tahiti. Seth's jaw drops in disbelief, as he had dreamed of taking Summer on the same trip.
At the ball, Jimmy is confronted by Greg Fischer, who really, really wants his money. Jimmy confesses that he has lost all of the money. Greg freaks out and punches Jimmy, knocking him to the floor. He screams to everyone at the ball that Jimmy is a thief. Marissa is shaken up by the incident and Ryan and Luke try to comfort her, but she prefers to be left alone.
