Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some real and fake episode synopses into the ol’ VCR.

Okay, y’all enjoyed A (Fabricated) Christmas Story: Guess Which Holiday Movie Is Real so much that I’ve decided to adapt it into a year-round series, but instead of holiday movies, I’m going to use teen dramas for the game (don’t worry, there will be another holiday edition or two during that time of the year).  

Riverdale. Degrassi: The Next Generation. Glee. You name it. 

We’re also going to reverse engineer it and have four REAL synopses with one FAKE synopsis…

…mostly because I couldn’t fabricate episodes that are more outlandish than some of the plotlines we’ve seen in these shows. 

Moving on. 

Today, we’re starting with one of my absolute favorites…

DRUMROLL PLEASE…

The O.C. 

Here’s how it’s going to work: 

Four of these episode synopsis are 100% real, and one is completely fabricated. 

Guess which one is the fake and then scroll to the bottom to see if you’re right. Simple as that. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, put your thinking cap on, and brace yourself for the (kind of) inaugural edition of It’s All for Show: 

Episode 1

It’s time for Chrismukkah, but things are a little…off. When Taylor and Ryan find themselves in an alternate timeline where Ryan never left Chino, Seth and Summer never got together, and the Coopers and Cohans swapped partners, they’re left to try to rectify the timeline and finally let go of the things (and people) that have kept them from moving on. 

Episode 2

Seth and Ryan accidentally witness Summer’s stepmother cheating on Dr. Roberts with the neighborhood pool boy but don’t know how to tell Summer. Meanwhile, Julie gets hot for teacher after deciding to head back to school at Newport Community College. Also, Kirsten and Sandy try to revive their relationship with a camping trip that’s destined for disaster. 

Episode 3

When Caleb shows up to the Cohan household with a new (and much younger) girlfriend, the Cohan house faces a massive shakeup…which is only exacerbated when she hits on Ryan (who is a teenager, making her a predator). Also, Julie bids Kaitlin’s show horse adieu and contemplates leaving Jimmy. 

Episode 4

Sandy is paid a visit from the man who was almost his father-in-law, asking for Sandy’s help tracking down his daughter. She was Sandy’s big love before Kirsten, and has been missing for years. Things heat up between Marissa and Alex, as Marissa continues to rebel against Caleb. Additionally, tensions flare as Caleb is jealous of Ryan (who is, again, a legitimate teenager) for allegedly impacting his relationships with two of his daughters. 

Episode 5 

Sandy and Caleb are at odds after Sandy finds out about Caleb’s plans for expansion, leaving Kirsten in the middle. Also, it turns out that Julie has been sleeping with Luke (who, like Ryan, is a TEENAGER). And, Summer might actually like like Seth?

Episode 2 is a complete lie.
