Zach and Summer is the relationship between Zach Stevens and Summer Roberts, throughout the second season of the Fox drama series The O.C.. They have a happy relationship, but in the end it doesn't last due to Summer's feelings for Seth Cohen.
Summary[]
When Seth runs away, Summer moves on and starts a relationship with Zach. Zach joined Seth's fledgling comic book club, becoming close friends with Seth. However, their friendship was tested when Seth learned that Zach was dating his ex-girlfriend. Zach and Seth decided to create a comic book together, called Atomic County, which was centred on Orange County teenagers who had super powers and related to the core four. During the creation of the comic, Summer realized that she still had feelings for Seth, and went back to him.
Hurt, Zach made up a story that he had met an Italian girl while in Italy for his sister's wedding; Seth and Summer quickly learned that the story was false. Zach and Seth physically fought over Summer at their comic book launch party, much to the embarrassment of both Summer and book publisher Reed Carlson. After Summer told them that she would not date whomever was involved with the comic, Zach left Newport Beach to work with George Lucas on the comic, and Seth became involved with Summer again.
