OC Rewind: 40th - The Blaze of Glory (S2E16)

Beyond the OC (Welcome to the OC)

Melinda a CG are joined by super fan and actor Alessandra Fabiani for an in-depth, fun discussion about ep 2.16, The Blaze Of Glory. In this ep, Ryan and Seth channel Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" with their meta musings on Season 1 versus Season 2 of The O.C. Seth’s love for meddling lights up like a blaze, pushing Ryan to rekindle flames with Marissa at the Spring Pep Rally. Meanwhile, Sandy's got his own "Livin' on a Prayer" moment, teaching Kirsten golf while reminiscing about his rock star magazine hero, The Rocketeer. Antics escalate with Seth getting teary-eyed over Captain Oats, (and then understandably punched by Ryan), and jealous Alex tossing beer cans like confetti. As the bonfire burns, Alex and Marissa's love goes down in flames, leaving Seth's matchmaking streak as fiery as ever. And With Sandy's snarky quips about Julie's porno past, the episode hits all the right notes, leaving everyone "Wanted Dead or Alive" by the end.
