    The Cold Turkey with Scott Krinsky

    Scott Krinsky joins Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke in the pool house to discuss Season 4, Episode 3, “The Cold Turkey.” Many of you know Scott as Jeff Barnes in the hit TV series, Chuck, but he guested on The O.C. first playing the lovable and much needed comic relief character, Daryll!  Scott talks about how he got cast on The OC, and tells a very funny OC joke from his stand-up routine!  The trio also talk about Iron Man, spoiler alert for you non-Avengers fans  and their favorite food items from Chilis!  The Cold Turkey synopsis: As Thanksgiving approaches, Sandy is approached by the fugitive Kevin Volchock to negotiate a surrender for the car accident that unintentionally killed Marissa. Ryan finds out about Sandy's meeting with him, and tries to take advantage to get his revenge against Volchock. Meanwhile, Seth agrees to let Taylor stay at the Cohen house while Kirsten encourages her to face her mother to reveal the truth about her stay in Paris. Also, bad-girl Kaitlin meddles more in the conflict between Julie and Neil to cause more friction between them, while Summer also arrives back in town for Thanksgiving and is not pleased to see Taylor staying with the Cohens.
