Clap Your Hands Say "Enh"

Summer tries to make up with Seth, but he's not in the mood. Che shows up and whisks Seth away on a spiritual journey, where Seth trips balls and finds his spirit animal (an otter, very cute). Seth returns feeling much better about himself and Summer, but he's not the only one who's made an astounding realization: Che had a dream where his spirit animal (a frog, probably not cute at all) got with an otter. So now Che has a thing for Seth. I think. It all freaks Julie out, who's returning home after a long day of tricking Kirsten into telling past clients that they may have caught the clap. This amoral scheme is Julie's way of making Kirsten forgive her for her amoral schemes. It works because Kirsten is too lonely to reject a friend. Ryan and Taylor are still having trouble, as Henri decides to stay in Newport permanently to win Taylor back. She'd rather be with someone who loves her even if she doesn't love him back than be with someone who can't love her as much as she needs him to, so she goes with it even though Ryan gives her a stuffed bear and writes her a poem. Lame, Taylor. Henri soon realizes that Taylor will never love him, and leaves town. Just when it looks like Taylor and Ryan are free to get back together again, she chooses herself. Lastly, Kaitlin has a run-in with one of Will's fellow band geeks who wants him all to herself. It's all fun and games until she ends up crying in the girl's bathroom.
