With 42,000 sightings in 68 countries, the elusive woodland creature known as Sasquatch, Yeti, and Bigfoot is one of the most enduring natural mysteries ever known to man. Hunted by humans for hundreds of years, the formerly reclusive man-like beast strikes out against his would-be captors in a mountain-based tale of survival and horror starring Jeffrey Combs, Lance Henriksen, and Dee Wallace-Stone. Years ago, mountain climber Preston Rogers (Matt McCoy) suffered a terrible injury that left him wheelchair-bound in his remote cabin. Something strange is happening in the woods these days, though, and if Rogers holds out any hope of saving the lives of either his neighbors or the young college girls on a weekend retreat to the California mountains, he's going to have to convince the skeptical Sheriff Halderman (Paul Gleason) that something sinister is happening amidst the thick foliage of the forest and that numerous lives will be lost if they don't act fast. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Gossip buzzes like a swarm of bees on the first day back at Harbor High School. Thanks largely to his vindictive rival Luke (Chris Carmack), new student Ryan (Ben McKenzie) feels like the proverbial square peg in a round hole. Ultimately, Marissa (Mischa Barton) is forced to choose between Ryan and Luke, and her decision may spark yet another punch-fest. Meanwhile, Summer (Rachel Bilson) feigns indifference to Seth (Adam Brody), and as a consequence may lose him to Anna (Samaire Armstrong). And outside the walls of the school, Sandy's (Peter Gallagher) newest legal case threatens to cause friction between his wife, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan), and her father, Caleb. ~ Rovi

As several of the younger O.C.ers plan an end-of-summer trip to Tijuana, Sandy Cohen (Adam Brody) takes a new legal job that disturbs his social-climbing wife, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan) -- who in turn must now fend off her suddenly amorous neighbor Jimmy Cooper (Tate Donovan). The sojourn into Mexico swings from delightful to disturbing when Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) finds out about her parents' divorce and learns the whole truth about her boyfriend, Luke (Chris Carmack), all at once. A near-tragedy results when Marissa tries to "solve" her troubles in an extremely dangerous fashion. ~ Rovi

As Sandy and Kirsten Cohen (Peter Gallagher and Kelly Rowan) agree to take full legal responsibility for the troubled Ryan (Ben McKenzie), Newport's most prominent (and most attractive) young ladies prepare for the annual cotillion. Marissa (Mischa Barton) stage-manages matters so that Ryan will escort the lovely Anna Stern (Samaire Armstrong), while Seth (Adam Brody) is slated to escort his dream girl, Summer (Rachel Bilson) -- good news for him, if not for her. Elsewhere, Sandy expresses dismay over the 100,000-dollar loan extended by Kirsten to Marissa's father (and Kirsten's former boyfriend), Jimmy (Tate Donovan), who is currently the target of a fraud investigation. ~ Rovi

Unwilling to be totally dependent upon the generosity of Sandy and Kirsten Cohen (Peter Gallagher, Kelly Rowan), Ryan (Ben McKenzie) takes a job at the crab shack. Emboldened not only by his newfound independence but also by a steady paycheck, Ryan feels the time is ripe to ask next-door neighbor Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) for a date. Unfortunately, trouble looms in the form of Ryan's co-worker Donny (Paul Wasilewski), another product of the mean streets (of Corona, a city near Chino) -- and a person who fascinates the Cohens' sensitive son, Seth (Adam Brody). And in the ongoing intrigue (financial and otherwise) between the Cohens and the Coopers, Sandy has bad news for Jimmy (Tate Donovan), while Kirsten uncovers a secret long held by Jimmy's wife, Julie (Melinda Clarke). ~ Rovi

Faced with the likelihood of being sent to a foster home, Ryan (Ben McKenzie) runs away from the Newport Beach home of the Cohens, planning to ultimately escape to Texas. Actually, he gets no farther than an uncompleted building project, a "model home" conceived by Seth's mother, Kirsten Cohen (Kelly Rowan). Seth (Adam Brody) and Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) dedicate themselves to concealing Ryan from the authorities, and they form a bond of friendship when they see Kirsten secretly meet with and loan 100,000 dollars to Marissa's financially floundering father, Jimmy (Tate Donovan). Unfortunately, Marissa's jealous boyfriend, Luke (Chris Carmack), is in no mood to cooperate -- and by the time this episode comes to a climax, the audience has borne witness to a cataclysmic conflagration...and two arrests. ~ Rovi

The initial seven-week "test run" of The O.C. starts with a bang in this debut episode. The main focus is on Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie), a tough, trouble-prone teen who has been arrested for stealing a car and thrown out of his Chino home, seemingly headed inexorably toward a life of crime. Sensing that the boy has the potential for good if only given a chance, idealistic pro bono public defender Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) invites Ryan to move into the pool house of the Cohen family's fashionable home, located in the wealthy Newport Beach district of Orange County, CA. Although Sandy's social-climbing ex-beauty-queen wife, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan), is upset by Ryan's presence, the young visitor finds a friend and kindred spirit in the Cohens' intellectual loner son, Seth (Adam Brody). Before long, Ryan has met his extremely attractive next-door neighbor Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton). Unfortunately, he also has a nasty run-in at an O.C. fundraiser after-party with Marissa's jealous boyfriend, Luke Ward (Chris Carmack), the fallout from which threatens to condemn Ryan to the living hell of the foster-care system. "Welcome to the O.C., Bitch!" ~ Rovi
