Adam Grimes

Sandy and Kirsten legally adopt Ryan. The newest member of the Cohen clan ends up escorting Marissa to Cotillion, where Seth meets up with Anna Stern, a new student from Pittsburgh. At the festivities, Jimmy's clients discover that he has been stealing their money and a fist fight breaks out.

Afraid he'll be sent to another foster home, Ryan ponders running away from the Cohen's. Supporting his new friend, Seth helps Ryan hide in one of Kirsten's unfinished housing developments, but trouble may lay ahead if Luke and his friends find out Marissa is there too.

After Ryan's arrest for the fire, Sandy works his legal magic once again. The two search for Ryan's mother, who surfaces apparently sober and ready to accept her son back into her life. In an attempt to improve everyone's chances for a better future, Kirsten invites Dawn Atwood to a charity casino night. However, Dawn's alcoholic demons resurface and she makes a drunken scene in front of the entire party.
