The O.C. - Don't Touch Her (Ryan Punches Dean Hess)

From Season 3, Episode 2. Ryan defends Marissa at the kickoff carnival, but pays the ultimate price for his actions.

[@Marie-oy8wt]

Ryan and Marissa had the best chemistry, even if their relationship sucked and was always full of drama, their chemistry is undeniable.

[@georgia673]

Marie Quixchan Truth. There was no chemistry between Ryan and Taylor.

[@meganpearl914]

Captain Majestic true they felt forced

Impossible to accept Taylor as the replacement for Marissa after this moment. Effectively, this is a pivotal moment that descends to her death.

[@Daaaanielle]

I just finished season three and you are so right. She made everyone miserable constantly and they just forgave her? So what if her mum was a bitch to her, she had friends. Every single one of them made Seth's life hell for years and years, he was so bullied and he wasn't a dick. He was a nice guy. Fuck Taylor.

[@toobad9295]

it doesn't even make sense that ryan out of nowhere likes taylor? he never even noticed her and just like that he likes her? after everything she's done just like you said? you I know I think there is a reason taylor and ryan didn't get married in the end just like seth and summer, if marissa still woud've been alive I bet ya they woul've got married

I freakin' love this scene !!!! I mean he tried to stay calm, but if someone hurts the girl he loves, he can't control himself. I think that's so romantic !!!! Who wouldn't want a boyfriend, who protects you? And Ryan should've punshed him much harder bc he deserved that!

[@scotthinchliffe305]

Il protect you girl 👍

[@ViceKnIghtTA]

So your idea of a perfect boyfriend is someone who beats someone up like an asshole, just for the cops to read him his rights and charge him with assault and battery and throw him in jail? Please grow up, there's more intelligent ways to handle things, maybe watch this clip, and then tell me about how romantic you think dating a lawyer would be smh: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4fHnH2ieMmWn8k

[@theresamahfouz790]

@@ViceKnIghtTA Chill. Ryan in this clip is a senior in high school with a troubled background, who had just been through a traumatic event. Punching Dean Hess was wrong, but he was a kid. Dean Hess had no right to touch Marissa. Overall Ryan was still a great boyfriend on the show and there is nothing wrong with viewers commenting on finding his instincts to protect his women attractive.

Ryan is a good guy.Even though he is the bad boy he really cares so much for the people that he loves and he really cares so muchhh for Marissa.He protected her since episode 1 and that's what true love is!!So many people tried to break them but even when they weren't couple the chemistry was crazy!!

[@JoycePinto]

[@ramonasdas2542]

An alpha male never loses composure, he clearly lost it here...

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

+Ramon asdas Alpha males are territorial by nature, Ryan did exactly what an alpha male would do.

[@ramonasdas2542]

I suggest you read more about what an Alpha Male is. An alpha displays security and composure, he never reacts violently unless is a matter of life an death.(which is not in this case). He could have easily approached him quickly and push her to his side and nothing else. He admitted the entire episode he wanted to kick the guy's ass, so he was waiting for a chance to do it.

[@abprepboy33]

+Ahsan Ali LMAO- I think thats the only time int he entire running of the OC where ryan wore that black leather jacket. LOL that adds a ton to the "badd ass" image of this scene

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

Ramon asdas I suggest YOU read more about what an Alpha Male is, because clearly you don't know as much as you think you do. It's laughable that you actually believe an Alpha Male never reacts violently. Ryan is a high school kid, not an assassin for hire.

[@Jboy1527]

That walk by ryan is something else

[@mfancyketchup6701]

[@percabethforever4483]

I like how at the end it plays the theme “right back where we started from” like Ryan is sort of right back where he started

why ...I think just why they can be together as a normal happy couple? They deserve it so much!

Ryan's like the Hulk. He can't control his fists of fury. I think season 2 was the least times Ryan punched someone until Trey came, Ryan had to get his fists of fury out.

[@abprepboy33]

gotta love the leather jacket exclusively for this scene.... adds to the bad ass portrayal of him in this scene

[@catesia26]

I wish they would'ent have killed off the Marissa character it would have been awesome to see her and Ryan get married and ride off into the sunset together

[@abprepboy33]

her and ryan were not going to get married. Their relationship was exciting.... and it was cool for highschool, but honestly in terms of long term compatibility.... there were more red flags than at a Chinese military parade.. Ironically, Oliver was pretty much dead on when he told ryan they were from different worlds and they allowed everything and everyone to disrupt their relationship.

[@journey95far49]

If only..I loved their relationship

[@spliffyrodgers4266]

Tbh they shouldn't have killed her off but maybe have them slowly realise theyre bad for eachother and desperately trying to make it work because they love eachother but they just never work and eventually being best friends who know they love eachother but realise its not because they're meant to be together but because they grew together as people and they each directly influenced who eachother would become

[@Girlygirl12301]

@abprepboy33 they could’ve been better when they were more mature. They went through a lot and had their problems but they always came back together eventually and were there for each other no matter what. Ryan even said there was a chance that they could get back together someday. But then Marissa dies so why knows. It’s also undeniable that he loved Marissa more than any of his other love interests!

[@alexx9422]

Grabbing his girlfriend in that violent way with that arrogance is enough.... I'd have kicked the shit out of him too.

[@jerilane4420]

Ryan and Marissa were the OC and they needed to be together!

[@toobad9295]

ryan wasn't in the wrong at all here no matter what no dean or teacher has the right to touch let alone grab a student/pupil like that and push him or her if anyone was in the wrong and shoud've been punished it was that dean not ryan and it's just weird that all those students were on that dean his side

[@vanessaleighton1545]

In a way this shows the culture that was prevalent in the OC where everyone had to conform. If you didn't conform, you were treated like an outsider. This is why Seth had no friends, because he was different just like Ryan who was immediately rejected when people found out that he was from Chino. They became best friends because they could relate to each other. Like Sandy said everyone had secrets they knew they had to hide in order to fit in and be accepted(Julie, Jimmy, Luke's dad,...). This is why I love this show so much. It has so much depth. It was so different and did I mention the music? They made us fall in love with the characters and in a way we all got to experiece this world in the eyes of Ryan the moment he and Sandy drove to the OC.

[@toobad9295]

I kno what you mean! Did you know that originally it was Chad Michael Murray that had to play Ryan? Like I love Ben don't get me wrong but just imagine Chad playiing Ryan

[@vanessaleighton1545]

Yes, I knew about that. That would have been awesome, but I am so used to Ben playing Ryan that I can't imagine anyone else playing Ryan. I also think he is a really good actor. They are both really talented. Chad was perfect as Lucas on OTH and I loved him in all the movies he was in. I guess in the end they both got the roles that were right for them.

[@billythompson2563]

Keep Walking I agree with you so Ryan was only defending Marissa because I would of did the same thing or worse than that.

[@juanmanuelcardona19]

Too Bad I actually did that to the principal of my school, I knocked him out for doing something similar to my girlfriend, he was fired days later, I just got suspended for a week until my uncle who is a lawyer forced the school to let me come back early before the end of the month so I didn’t miss the finals

Shouldn’t the Dean have faced repercussions for grabbing a minor and trying to drag her off school property? He’s a school official, not a cop or hired security. All those witnesses and this is somehow seen as acceptable by the community.

[@Lord_Bibulous]

Unfortunately it might've been a wash between the charges. Marissa was expelled from the school, that probably also includes school functions. She could easily be charged with trespassing. Doesn't make it right though.

[@amariahlovelace5113]

Not school property and she was a students plus one

[@zackq8865]

Dean grabbed Marissa first in a very aggressive way which is assault and there were many witnesses to see that Ryan was just defending her. There is no way Ryan getting expelled. If anything Dean would get fired as there is no way a teacher under any circumstances has the right to manhandle their student in that way.

[@campbellsoup93]

Nah, much as I hate it, him getting expelled makes sense. Assaulting faculty member, even to defend another student is still grounds for expulsion. Plus, Ryan has a history of violent and criminal behaviour and was on thin ice with the board as is so even if they fired Dean Hess for his actions, they'd still probably be perfectly happy to use this event as an excuse expel the 'problem child' from the wrong neighbourhood that's making their school look bad.

[@amariahlovelace5113]
