What happens to water as it seeps into the ground and back to the ocean?

one of two things will happen. either the water will be absorbed by plants, released into the air, and eventually make it back to the ocean as rain, or it will simply flow to the sea on it's own, possibly creating a small stream in the process.

Some water would also be absorbed between the particles of soil, until they are saturated (this happens after a heavy rain storm and 'puddles' form as a result). A small amount of the water will evaporate direction into the air, and other parts will be absorbed by plant roots.
