[edit] Plot
The Cohens and the Coopers prepare for Caleb's funeral. Before the event takes place, Sandy reads about an alcohol rehabilitation clinic for Kirsten. The events of the funeral are too much for Kirsten and she ends up getting drunk and causing a scene at the celebration of Caleb's life afterwards. Sandy stages an intervention along with Hailey, Ryan, and Seth. Kirsten bids goodbye to the family and goes to rehab.
Trey decides to go for a drug money-making scheme with Jess. Her customers decide that they will pay for the cocaine later. Instead she pulls out a gun and begins shooting at them. Ryan, Marissa, Seth, and Summer get caught in the crossfire, but are not hurt. Ryan decides this is the last straw and tells Trey to leave Newport.
Summer questions Marissa about the bruises on her neck and her behaviour around Trey. The constant questions upset Marissa and in tears she tells Summer about Trey attacking her. Summer goes to the Cohens' and tells Seth that Trey forced himself on her, while he and Ryan were in Miami. Seth tells Ryan what Trey did and Ryan decides to settle things with his brother once and for all.
Jimmy returns for Caleb's funeral and he and Julie decide to give one more shot for their family. However Seth, on his way to Trey's with Summer, calls and tells her that Ryan knows what happened between her and Trey. Marissa immediately takes off.
At the apartment, Ryan confronts Trey, who quickly points a gun at him; Ryan knocks the gun out of Trey's hand and they begin to fight. Marissa arrives and tries to stop Trey, who is strangling Ryan. He pushes her away and is about to hit Ryan over the head with a telephone. Marissa picks up the gun and shoots Trey in the back. Stunned, Trey sees blood pouring out of his body and collapses.
