Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke are joined by First Assistant Director (AD) on The OC, Jen Anderson. Not only do they discuss S2 Ep11, “The Second Chance,” but also, highlight what it’s like to work behind the camera.

As a First AD, Jen was charged with holding it all together, and she saw it all! Hear about what that role entails, how Jen became a first AD, and a secret from when she first started working on The OC. Don’t worry, Rachel is there to help define all the industry terms and acronyms.

Jen worked closely with the cast – hear who was most likely to… show up late? Break character? Make her laugh? Listen to find out! She also discusses what it was like shooting this episode – from having to use the public pier to shooting the dinner scene. Also, hear a hilarious Tate Donovan story and Mindy’s deep dive into Patrón Tequila (just listen, you’ll see why).

The Second Chance Synopsis: Summer takes an active role in the making of the comic book, which worries Seth. And for good reason, as old feelings emerge. Sandy takes on Rebecca’s case but continues to keep it a secret from Kirsten that she’s alive. Lindsay gives it another try at forming a relationship with Caleb and after a near-death experience, she believes he’s ready to be her father.
