Ryan and Marissa decide that they want to spend a low-key night together in the comforts of popcorn and movies, and Seth tags along since he hasn't received any better offers in light of his recent relationship woes. When Marissa gets invited to Oliver's New Year's shindig, it seems that their special evening together will be spent apart. Fortunately, Hailey is about to spice up the night for everyone by getting Kirsten and Sandy out of the house so that she can throw a raging party for a few friends. As the clock ticks closer towards midnight, Ryan hopes that he can make it to Marissa in time for their first New Year's kiss together.
