Ryan, Seth, and Summer plot to get Marissa back into Harbor School so they can be all together for the rest of the senior year. With the help of the school principle, Dr. Kim, they try to get the board of trustees to debate whether to let Marissa back at Harbor. Taylor even is happy to help out Seth, Summer and the rest of the gang with their cause, but finds complications when Taylor's mother, Veronica, is part of the board of trustees, and Taylor does not have the nerve to stand up and say "no" to her stern and mean-spirited mother. Matt also tells Sandy that he's found some dirt on the leader of the board of trustees involving Marissa's case to return to Harbor. Meanwhile, Johnny asks Marissa to attend a concert with him to celebrate his successfully knee surgery, but she gets sidetracked by her old friends lobbying for her return to Harbor. Also, Julie continues hanging around Dr. Roberts to share stories about their messed up lives.
