One Tree Hill: Happy Birthday, Jamie!

For his fifth birthday, Jamie wanted two things: a Wii and to have his Grandpa Dan come to his birthday party. He got both... but he never knew about Dan. Skills scored a Wii for the kid and Dan ended up coming by the party, but got stopped at the door. He did manage to leave a nice gift -- Nathan’s very first basketball jersey. There was no card, but Nathan recognized it. When Nathan headed to his dad’s house to tell him (again) to leave his family alone, Dan admitted to his son that he needs a heart transplant. It’s his hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the doctors have given him six months to live.

What should Nathan do now? Do you think that he should give Dan access to his family now that he only has six months to live or is it absolutely too late for any type of reconciliation with the man?

Lindsey returned to Tree Hill -- but why? Supposedly she came for Jamie’s birthday party, but she arrived late and barely spoke to the kid. She was hanging out by the gifts, but we don’t know for sure if one was from her because she walked in empty handed. Nice. She asked to stop by Lucas’ place after the party. Rather than move back in with Lucas (which would have been a really huge, sudden move after all they’ve been through), she came back to the house to get the rest of her belongings and even though Lucas refused to take back the key, she left it at the door. And she also left him brokenhearted.

Talk about dragging out a storyline. Let’s hope we’ve seen the last of that character after that pointless visit. It almost seems like even Lucas is over it at this point.

Brooke got a firsthand look at the more heinous side of parenting. Get no sleep. Have no life. Repeat.

Baby Angie is quite a fussy child, which could be a side effect of her illness, so everyone is really supportive -- especially Peyton who shares Brooke’s pain. Sure, it’s only been a few days, but Brooke is really hanging in there. Color us surprised! Probably helps that she and Lucas have each other to lean on during their respective tough times. Speaking of those two -- do you think there's romance in their future, or are they just really good friends?

What we loved
Skills admitted to Millie that it’s nothing personal but her very male roommates are a bit uncomfortable with her and her lack of a Y chromosome at the house. As soon as she realized that she didn’t fit in with the boys, Millie devised a cunning plan. She arrived home with beer and pizza, armed with a gigantic water gun. She declared a water war. After that move, we figure that the others love her as much as Mouth!

We just love that Brooke told Jamie that she wanted a baby because he showed her how amazing children can be. Admit it -- you reached for the tissues. Just how adorable was the scene with Jamie and Angie? If you didn’t melt when he leaned over and kissed her, you have a heart of stone.

What we didn’t love
It was so sad that Skills was afraid Naley didn’t want him to hang out with Jamie after he was abducted during the almost-wedding. It’s so sad when Skills is sad! He totally missed hanging out with Jamie. Luckily, Nathan and Haley were able to explain that it’s really something that they are going through and that the kid is truly lucky to have a friend like him. Hopefully this means more cute Skills/Jamie scenes.

We don’t love creepy clowns. Well… who does? The flirting between Deb and the clown was bizarre and slightly curious but we loved that he and Deb were able to hold off Grandpa Dan and keep him from entering Jamie’s birthday party. However, at the end of the party, when they came out of the bathroom all disheveled… it was just plain nasty.

i'm been waiting for a brucas scene forever :) i am so tired of watching peyton pining over lucas over other women (brooke and lindsay)... her character never changed a bit eversince... its BORING...

if the story about the comet is true, there wouldnt be brucas but at least i got to see the best couple on screen.. it made my day!!!

thanks for the writer, even for that single episode..

So I totally and completely agree with what Dinky said a few days ago. 100% I'm rooting for Lucas & Peyton :)

im in scotland and season 5 hasnt been on over here yet,but ive been watching the clips on you tube.I just want to say please get brucas back together.The clips with the baby are just perfect,i was practically screaming when i saw them.These two are meant to be together!!!It must be hard for them to do these scenes but i think they do it so well.We all want a happy ending for brucas please.!!!

BRUCAS ALL THE WAY!!!!!! seriously, sorry leyton fans but if lucas really wanted peyton, i think he'd try to get peyton!!! If he really "loves" her , he sure isn't showing it! Brooke, on the other hand, he does love!!
That comment he made when him, and brooke and angie were in the living room and brooke was about to leave, but then he said "No. Stay. It's nice." or something like that, that TOTALLY meant something!
also i totally agree with the comment that KJ made! brucas should have a baby together!!!! That is exactly what I've wanted ever since I started watching the show a year ago, and fell IN LOVE with brucas a year ago!!!!!! maybe if they have a baby together peyton will finally realize that Lucas doesn't want her and she'll let brucas be!!! although i doubt it because for peyton that's like rocket science!!!!!!
as for the bp friendship, yeah, i really do like it, but it goes both ways. If brooke wants lucas too, then maybe peyton should be a good friend for once and let brooke have him. LIKE BROOKE HAS DONE TWICE NOW!!!! seriously she's let peyton have lucas twice now, but BOTH times they didn't work out!! just goes to show you who's meant to be!! and if lucas wants brooke and brooke wants lucas, then it would be really selfish of peyton to keep them apart, just cause she "might" still be in love with lucas!! she even said herself she might just be in love with the THOUGHT of being with lucas!!! and if lucas doesn't want her, there's really nothing she can do about it

Last nite was good. i think it is cool that lucas is helping brooke i realy hope those two get togather not him and peyton she needs to move on and leave him alone he dosent love her anymore. so i hope Booke and Lucas get back soon

One tree hill is a great show i love it. i hope lucas and brooke get back togather they are a great match. peyton needs to drop the hole lucas thing and move on and just be only friends with him he dosent love her anymore. once he gets over the linsey think him and Brooke have to get back togather. the show rocks

All i have to say is its about time we finally get some good B&L scenes. I mean the ending with the two of them an angie could melt anyones heart. It was just so cute :) Bring back brucas!

I feel bad for dan he's dying and he just wants to make everything better with everyone- the problem is he has hurt alot of people so its gonna take a lot for them to forgive him and love him.

ok so brucas and leyton fans are doing a ton of promoting for their choice couples. i myself am a leyton fan. Everyone is entitled to their opinions/likes. I would simply like to point out to some Brucas fans that they are blatantly disregarding the depth of the storyline in the first season. Yes Lucas liked Peyton first, but then fell for Brooke when Peyton was giving him sort of the cold shoulder. But some Brucas fans are not understanding Peyton's character, she hadn't had a lot of good in her life,few people to trust,asshole boyfriend, non-existent father,etc. PS had a wall up that Lucas was trying to break and eventually did. But before he could, rather self absorbed and sex crazed Brooke(that way bc she was trying to fill the empty void of her never present parents) made a move for him. She miss read PS's obvious lie about her feelings for Lucas bc she was "keeping her eye on the target". bc Brooke was the only person she could ever count on, Peyton buried her true feelings from BD even further for as long as she could. Brucas needed to happen for a couple reasons. Brooke and Lucas needed to grow and learn from mistakes. Brooke became more careful with guys and gained more self respect. Peyton learned to open up more. And Clothes Over Bros. Brucas was more of filling a void for both characters. They needed someone to want and need them, it was more sexual. Plus Lucas is in love with love and makes stupid mistakes diving into things before really thinking it over. Case in point: rushing into relationship with Brooke right after Peyton rejected him, out of the blue proposing to Peyton and then leaving without really breaking up with her bc she said she wasn't ready yet,& proposing to Lindsey right after Peyton returns. Lucas and Peyton understood each other intellectually in the beginning, and why each acted the way they did. They've always had a deeper connection. I love that Brucas are getting to be better friends, Brooke needs all the stability she can get in her life, but the person that understood her and what she needed the most was Chase. They connected physically and mentally in a healthy way, and made each other better people. As for Leyton, i dont really no how this is going to play out now bc i think P is never going to feel right about her and Luke now. She's obviously questioning her love for him.& Like she said, he said Yes to marrying Lindsey, its a long road to come back from. Leyton will have to really start fresh. But i think i would like to see P try with someone else for a time, nothing serious but enough for her to be sure about Leyton, while Lucas sorts out the Lindsey mess. It will also maybe help Lucas realize he still does love P. Like at the beginning of the season when he told her she was too good for that bartender, he was sort of hinting at a bit of jealousy, but nothing further happened bc P focused on her feelings for Lucas and didnt try anything with another guy. It was kind of like Lucas felt safe to be with Lindsey when he knew that P still wanted him and was single.

You may not feel or think the same way i do, but i didn't comment this to offend anyone. I'd appreciate it if there were no rampages about what i wrote

Does anyone think lucas' comet comment can mean Haley. What if he is in love with Haley instead just like Kieth/Dan/Karen triangle someday.

When it comes to lucas and brooke o my god ya they should be togather. i have wanted them to get back togather and i hope they do. I think that dan should see jamie. I hope mark has Lucas and Brooke back togather they look good to gather and you can tell that their is something their still peyton needs to get someone she one wants lucas when he is taken. Id say iam all for lucas and brooke

I love love Brucus. As you can see in the last episode, Lucas coming and completely the family like picture was perfect. I dont want a reuniting with Peyton and Lucas, she has too many emotional issues that would not allow her & Lucas to have a stable relationship. Brooke is perfect for Lucas, they are meant for each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please dont disappoint me as i have been when Lucas and Peyton got together last season! All my friends agree!!!

the ending between brooke and lucas was just so "perfect" as they were on the couch together (a happy little family); even as friends. if this show has to end tomorrow, I think these two are meant for each other. Yes, I know that the show started out as lucas and peyton… they are the “destine” couple. however as it progress, brooke and lucas have developed a relationship that is based on more than chemistry and hs drama… they understand each other, they’re there for each other, and they see the best in each other. I think she still loves lucas but she knows she cannot get with him…. Peyton is her best friend and she doesn’t want it to be hs again.. just like what brooke said when they kissed each other when she dropped him off and they kissed during his visit in ny.

Let the romance begin between Brooke & Lucas!! Again :D love them together, so cute. :)

I think Nathan & Haley should let Grandpa Dan spend time with Jaime. It's only fair that little Jaime gets to know his grandfather. At the very beginning of the season I hated Dan up until the 4th season, like I'm sure most of you have. As bad as Dan has been in the past, I believe he IS trying to change.

I'm glad Peyton is slowly realizing that she should finally get over Lucas, it was starting to get old & kinda annoying already.

What the ef was up with that clown? and when Dan was there and was like "i've done time" and the clown goes "haven't we all?" What? He seems like a guy that shouldn't be around children. and Deb hooking up with him? weird. But i do like seeing Deb again.
I don't think Dan will die within 6 months, no way will the show kill off Paul Johanson. But I think he probably is having heart problems, just that he's not gonna die. and I think this is gonna make Nathan and Haley, (but probably not Lucas) feel sympathetic and allow him to spend some time with Jamie.

Ok I am pretty much in agreement with everyone else, BLA stole the show. I agree with the fact that they are just friends right now, really great friends and I am LOVING IT!!! It reminds me soo much of season 2, when they were just there for each other and supported each other through everything. I do not want Brucas in a romantic relationship at all right now. I think Lucas has to resolve his feelings for Lindsey, because I do believe he is in love with her and I feel soo bad for him. And also the whole Leyton thing needs to be worked out too. Love the fact that Peyton admitted that she might just be in love with the idea of her and Lucas. I think that is so true. I feel bad for her because I think she is trying to move on with her life but everyone else keeps pulling her back into the world of Lucas. Let the poor girls move on, she deserves better. And I'm not just saying that b/c I want Brucas together, I really think Peyton can do better than just sitting around and pinning for Lucas, who obviously doesn't want her. Once again I am so sick of people saying Lucas is in denial about his love for Peyton and that he needs to "wake up". I think every one needs to open their eyes and see that Lucas isn't IN love with Peyton, yeah he loves her and he always will but he is IN love with Lindsey. I'm really sad to see Lindsey go, she has grown on me soo much these last couple of episodes.

As for Dan, I don't know what to think. Yeah he killed Keith and I will never forgive him for it but I feel like he is trying here and Jamie really wants to get to know him. I really don't know I'm glad I'm not in Naley's shoes. And yes they have been called Naley before, ever since season 2 actually. And people have been saying that Haley screwed up by saying Antwon, since that is the actors name in real life, well Antwon is also Skills' real name on the show too, she has called him that before.

Deb and the creepy clown, yeah I could have went without that.

As for Brooke, I am loving this story line. Of course she is going to have problems, its the first time she has ever cared for a baby. I think what Brooke is doing is very noble, I wouldn't be able to just take in a sick baby to take care of it until she gets better and then send her back home. It is going to be soo hard for Brooke.

I love the fact that in their time of need Brooke and Lucas turn to each other, I thinks its always been like that. I know Sarah and Mia haven't seen season 2 yet but when you do watch it you will understand what everyone is talking about. Lucas and Brooke were soo close and such great friends and always there for each other. And of course it led to more in season 3 b/c they fell in love with each other. I can see that happening again. I agree right now its just a friendship (although I do believe Brooke has more feelings than that for Lucas) but I can totally see it growing into something more. We will just have to wait and see.

And for everyone who says Brooke would be a bad friend if she wanted to be with Lucas, umm did we forget what Peyton did to Brooke in season 1 AND season 3?!? But even with that said I wouldn't want Brooke to do anything with Lucas until the whole Leyton thing is resolved. I do NOT want the triangle again. I was Peyton to move on with her like, maybe even contact Jake (God I love me some Jeyton) and then Lucas and Brooke gradually fall in love once again. And when Lucas said "i would appreciate the things I took for granted" every one knows that the biggest thing he took for granted back in high school was his relationship with Brooke, both times.

As for the Chad and Sophia thing, well actually I'm not even going to go there. I know Sophia doesn't want Brucas to happen and Chad well he is kinda neutral, but Mark said that he will write what he feels is right no matter their personal opinions on it. And they will do what he writes no matter how they feel about it. They are professionals and it is their job. I do feel bad to some extent but they chose to be in a relationship with their co-star, the fans and show should not have to be punished because of that.

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy these amazing BL moments, because I have been waiting 2 years for them. And hope that it will grow into more down the road!! All good things BL...

I really liked the episode. I'm so gald that Deb is clean now, she was funny before she got all boozy.
I don't like Brucas together, mainly because I feel bad for Sophia, her marriage with Chad didn't exactly end well. I think it would be hard for her if they tried a Brucas storyline again.
I really wish that Michaela wasn't done on the show. She was really nice. I think that they should bring her back...to date Skillz. He could use a nice girl like her. Peyton and Skillz don't really have any chemistry.

i didint care for this eposode. deb and the clown a bit much. and it is no where near graduation time what????

Please bring Brucas back. They have such a mature, loving relationship, unlike Leyton who are more high school drama. BL have amazing chemistry too, they light up the screen together. They also have so much more fans than LP, even though LP have such an advantage in the show. Please let them really get married and have their two boys and a girl. That would be greater than words.

nooo dont bring brucas back please!!!!! yeah, they were cute but come onnnnnnn leyton all the way, they are meant to be, both times lucas was with brooke, he left her for peyton, both times!!!, i think they are jsut really good friends. tahts it.

"I did think Jamie's bday was early but we have to remember that the season started 4 years and six months later so it did start technically in December in Tree Hill world.....so it could be around June if they had some time skips and not every episode takes place in the week after the previous....maybe the next few eps take place in the summer?

Posted by: JeniLee"

That could be true IF they hadn't left us hanging with the basketball season still open. It's been my experience that basketball doesn't last into the summer. I can't imagine they would start that story line and then just skip ahead a couple months and totally drop Q.

"Is anybody else angry that there is no continuity in this show? Jamie was born on graduation day....but his 5th birthday is clearly not anywhere near the end of the school year, considering basketball is in the middle of the season. Jamie and Lily also share a birthday, but they didnt even mention that she should have been turning 5 too. If they have a birthday party for her in an upcoming episode, I am going to go nuts. I love this show, but they need to work on their continuity.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that caught this. HELLO, PEOPLE!! Let's get our stories straight here!!

I did think Jamie's bday was early but we have to remember that the season started 4 years and six months later so it did start technically in December in Tree Hill world.....so it could be around June if they had some time skips and not every episode takes place in the week after the previous....maybe the next few eps take place in the summer?

Jackie Im "annonymous" lol forgot to put my name anyways I totally thought I was perhaps imagining it glad to hear thats not the case ,i wouldnt be suprised if its headed in that way they have had many scenes together and it would be suprising if they did get together mainly as I guess it would be unexpected but this is oth and this show is all about "expect the unexpected" lol so you never know maybe it will happen

I just wanted to say, know you all dont like the baby storyline but I honestly dont think its that bad and obviously part of the storyline is that brooke is going to go through a character arch its a learning curve for her. I mean to be honest yes this episode shes had difficulties but what first time mom doesnt? the only way I can back that statement up is by saying my friends around about brookes age (single parent family btw ;) )and it also took her a while just to figuire things and get into a routine but does that mean because of that she isnt ready and shouldnt have had the kid ?of course not and she is always saying how her child is the best thing thats ever happened to her so in brookes case I can watch that storyline and understand it completly ,In real life first time moms probably all go through the same and as I said before brookes going through a character arch and I honestly believe this storyline is a very good one and its gonna show even more growth in the caracter

The brucas scenes were amazing. gosh I loved it so much ,I think even the hardest of hearts would have melted when seeing those scenes .It mirrored season 2 for me (I totally loved season 2) and I have to say that episode made me want brucas back together so much more .If you remember way back in 505 it showed brooke is definetly not over lucas and I feel like theres been all these little signs through the season so far to prove that fact.

Also when Lucas tells her he wished he hadnt took things for granted in Highschool ,who do you think that was about then?Brooke of course it was total throw back to season 4 .The last scene was my fave episode it was like they were a family and when he puts his arm around her totally reflected what she said earlier in the episode about how most girls cant sleep if someones not holding them .Those two have proved through the seasons they have the same heart and belong together and all their scenes together through the years prove that what they have is so much more than friendship.

As for brooke not doing that to peyton.you know something your kind of right brooke would never betray peyton the way peyton beytrayed Brooke and lets not forget that wasnt just once but twice ;) and both times were when Brucas were together and the thing is Leyton arent together but still brooke has always proved herself to be the better friend but to be honest the whole world doesnt revolve around peyton sawyer and her "feelings" as most times she didnt care about others .

Bring Brucas Back , our couple is the best and everything pales in comparison

On a random note , I couldnt help but have a feeling somethings gonna happen between peyton and skills LMAO and I dunno why but totally had that impression what do you girls think?

I have to say I'm not a fan of Brucas. I like them as friends, but not romantically involved. I like Lucas and Peyton together, but wouldn't mind seeing what would happend if she and Skillz hooked.

The beginning of the show was pretty funny with Brooke throwing the stuffed animals and Peyton and her response of being, "Brooke, really?"

I like that this show keeps the history alive. It's funny that Monday's episode on Soapnet was the one where Haley admits she's scared of Clowns and then Monday night Deb hires a creepy clown for Jamie's party. Deb is classic. Of course it was a little creepy that she was flirting with the clown.

I think Dan does really have an issue with his heart. However, I don't really think he's trying to change. I just think he wants the sympathy from Lucas and Nathan.

Skillz and Jamie are too cute. I really like it that they addressed his feelings about Jamie's kidnapping. You could see some of it in last weeks episode in the Gym. I like it that Haley called him Antwon instead of Skillz it made everything feel more heartwarming and that they really don't hold any grudges against Skillz.

I really enjoy these Podcasts. I look forward to what you ladies have to say about OTH.

OK... .PODCAST... i had to turn off last weeks... i hated it hahah sorry but i did... so i took a chance this week....

Anonymous, I was wondering the same thing about Peyton and Skills! They've had a lot of scenes together lately, and I actually think it would be cute if they hooked up. What does everyone else think?

I just wanted to say, know you all dont like the baby storyline but I honestly dont think its that bad and obviously part of the storyline is that brooke is going to go through a character arch its a learning curve for her. I mean to be honest yes this episode shes had difficulties but what first time mom doesnt? the only way I can back that statement up is by saying my friends around about brookes age (single parent family btw ;) )and it also took her a while just to figuire things and get into a routine but does that mean because of that she isnt ready and shouldnt have had the kid ?of course not and she is always saying how her child is the best thing thats ever happened to her so in brookes case I can watch that storyline and understand it completly ,In real life first time moms probably all go through the same and as I said before brookes going through a character arch and I honestly believe this storyline is a very good one and its gonna show even more growth in the caracter

ı do not care what happened between CMM and sophia bush..I care only my lovely show and couple..

BRING BRUCAS BACK!!!

Thanks for the awesome episode mark!!

Thank you MARK!!!

BL were awesome!! so much love in those scenes!! that last BL scene was just beautiful!!

i think you guys are so right about the whole brucas situation
dont get me wrong im a HUGE brucas fan but this scene does not mean that brucas will get back together
that scene was adorable and i loved it but right now im loving brucas as just friends
also i think that the BP friendship is WAY more important and that they shouldn't let lucas get in the way of it

Funny how it feels like being in an alternate universe. Brucasers have pretty much been ignored for a season and a half, after the complete and utter mess that was season 4, and Leytoners all giddy over the whole thing. Now that Brooke and Lucas' fans finally get something that hasn't "bones" written all over it, you people are seriously upset? Really? Come on. It's not as if we haven't heard that damn TLA enough in the last two years. I just feel like during the entire last season, and the first half of this one, everything and everyone on the show seemingly pushed Peyton and Lucas together. Brooke, for a start, freaking LP cheerleader Skills, Karen, Keith-from-the-grave, and we could go on all night. Can't someone let the guy make up his own mind?

Whether or not Leytoners want to admit it, LP's epic relationship has always end up happening to the detriment of others. Brooke, both times, Lindsay anyone? Peyton, I'm sorry, is so busy feeling sorry for herself to realize she's being portrayed, at least this season, as the most selfish character in the show. On top of it, I have seen Leytoners upset over the fact that Brooke would go and ask her ex boyfriend for help - come. on. Peyton has just been doing it for three seasons every time she breaks a nail uh? Now, regarding the BLA stuff, I believe it was genuine, and a real consecration of the desire both of those have to start a family, to be grounded, to be loved too. If for now it is only friendship, yes. A hundred times over. Again, they are genuine - however, I am sure they will find by themselves, without everyone telling them to do so, their own way back to romantic feelings. That if, if you just let them be...

That BL scene in the coda was all sorts of wonderful!! actually, all BL scenes from this episode were amazing!! they have such chemistry! its amazing to watch them!! the entire episode was just LOVE!! adored the laley scene and the BP scene at the beginning. oh and the BAJ scene was sooo cute!! BLA own my heart tho! it how a family should look like :)
Brucas ftw!!

I just want to say bring BRUCAS back ! As a BL fan i don't have anything else to say , but Mark thanks for the beautiful scenes in the 5x15 episode, they were amazing ! So cute with little angie , i was like screaming in front of my TV !! xD i couldn't believe it ! lol , anyway, thanks again , and

BL are Love !
BRUCAQ all the way !

This episode was amazing!!! I loved all the scenes, but the best ones where the BRUCAS scenes!!! They have such an amazing chemistry together. When you look at them together you can definatelly see the sparks and magic and no other couple are like those 2.
Please REUNITE BRUCAS! They're perfecty!
BRUCAS FOREVER

QUOTE::Anyway! I really loved Brucas when they were together, and I miss them sometime...
But, to me, BP friendship is WAY more important. I'd hate Lucas to ruin that friendship again. And I don't think Brooke would go after Lucas knowing Peyton's feeling...
We'll just have to wait and see how this turns out!::QUOTE

I don't understand...Peyton can do it twice and Brooke can't?!? I hope for Brucas in the end and I also hope for Peyton to be happy and this could happen only if Luke and Pey will realize that they just need each other but they are not meant to be together!

Brucas were amazing!

Thank you Mark for those beautiful BL scenes and may we please have more? It was the best episode of the season. Angie is adorable!

Please let BL end up together. Their chemistry blows me away. They are always there for each other and always will be.

BRING BACK BRUCAS PLEASE !!
Loved their scenes they were amazin, those 2 have so much chemistry still onscreen even when they're not a couple off screen !!!

so i totally think that this whole brucas thing is crap dont get me wrong i love them as friends and we all know that brooke knows that peyton loves lucas and that he too deep down loves peyton what i think is that this whole reconnection of luke and brookes friendship is in a way of them just comforting eachother and helping one another to realize what the other wants, i really think that brooke is going to be like this mediator in the whole situation and help lucas come to his senses on his love for peyton.

Great episode and great actors: Sophia and Chad are really very good..it must have been hard for them but the scene was wonderful.GOOD JOB!!! They seemed like a family and I enjoyed but we don't have to forget Peyton's feelings. Brooke and Peyton already had problems in their friendship because of Lucas...so Brooke please stay away from Lucas (I'm sorry for Brucas fans but I think that Peyton and Brooke's friendship is more important..Hoes over Bros!!)
Jamie is very cute and he and Brooke are so nice.
The first scenes with the baby and Peyton and Brooke was also very nice (please mooooore!!!)
I'm sorry for Dan, I know he killed Keith but I trust him now, after 5 years in prison and I think that Nathan should give him an opportunity (at least for Jamie).
GREAT JOB EVERYONE AND GREAT SEASON!!! Thank you

I can't until season 6, so we can get past these horrid post-strike episodes. Seriously, half the cast is sleeping through their scenes. And if ever there was a contrived storyline, it's this Brooke/Angie/Lucas arch.

I have watched One Tree Hill from the beginning, and it has always been Peyton and Lucas!! I love that Brooke and Lucas are friends, but Brooke belongs with Chase! :) Also, was I the only one to notice Jamie's early birthday??? He was born on graduation, and I'm pretty sure the school year isn't over yet! Maybe they thought we wouldn't notice.

I think Peyton & Lucas are meant to be.Brooke & Lucas as friends are great- have the best chemistry as friends. I'd love Brooke & Chase to get back together. He's perfect for her!Love Millie..you go girl..

yoyo said: "Oh, and one more thing, many of the people I know including me watch the show because of the story between Brooke and Lucas."

Well... If you watch OTH only for Brucas, you're not a real One Tree Hill fan!
It's good to have a favourite couple, but if this couple is the only thing that keeps you watching... it isn't so great.
One Tree Hill is a story about 5 kids (not kids anymore...) OTHfans are interested in ALL of them!

Anyway! I really loved Brucas when they were together, and I miss them sometime...
But, to me, BP friendship is WAY more important. I'd hate Lucas to ruin that friendship again. And I don't think Brooke would go after Lucas knowing Peyton's feeling...
We'll just have to wait and see how this turns out!

BRUCAS FOREVER!!!!!!!
everybody is talking about Leyton but Brucas is clearly what everybody wants!
The Couch scene was amazibg that is when i knew that BRUCAS should be coming back very soon. BRUCAS RULES
One Tree Hill is the best!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Lucas and Peyton really have what it takes. They just have to make it there. I really hated Lindsey, she just made the show aggravating to watch. If they did get married, I would never watch OTH again! Lucas and Brooke are just having a heart to heart moment. Nothing will happen between Brooke and Lucas because of what happened in High School. Brooke would never hurt Peyton like that again. They are lucky they got their relationship back to what it is now. And Brooke's clothing line is called Ho's over Bro's for a reason!

I LOVED the Brucas scene on the couch!!! I really really hope that they get back together for good. No more Leyton please, I need Brucas!! Luke, Brooke and Angie are the perfect family and it was so cute that she stopped crying when he was holding her. Also, the Jamie and Angie scene was so adorable and I love that little kid. :)

Brucas so owned this episode! It was great!

I think since the episodes came back from Monday the 14th, they've been, not quite as exciting. Nothing too big is happening, besides Dan's heart surgery. I think that something really exciting should happen at the end of a show that leaves all viewers on the edge of their seat.

The episode was amazing! I loved it all, my favorite was the Skills/Jamie scenes and the BRUCAS scenes. OMG, I miss these two so much. Mark, you're amazing for giving us those scenes last night. BL need to get backtogether. They are TRUE LOVE. They belong together. Brooke's the one for him, and Lucas is the guy for her.

BL FOREVER <333333

Ok so i am a huge brucas fan and that episode was amazing with them. how he told haley that he told her she would come back to him, and today could be that day. Even though he was talking about "Lindsey" it was so about Brooke because of all the times he said that he was the guy for her, and how she would come back to him, and she did that day. I think that them being together with the baby will rekindle the flame that is so still there. and once brooke gives back the baby, i think that her and lucas will realize they want a baby together. i would feel bad though for peyton, considering brooke is her best friend, even though she deserves it because of what she did to brooke. but i hope jake comes back for her or she meets some new guy. but brucas just seemed so perfect together as a family ugh and the couch scene was breathtaking.

ok dan does not deserve anything except the hate he is getting. he should not be allowed into their life at all especially jamie. he killed keith the one man everyone could count on, and he doesnt deserve to be looked at as a good man.

jamie is adorable especially in person (charity game was amazing) and i loved him with brooke, "he didnt like what was under the clothes." "he never got what was under the clothes."

that epsiode was great everything with milicent and mouth, brucas, skills and jamie, nathan and haley. i just really loved the episode and everything about it.

Is anybody else angry that there is no continuity in this show? Jamie was born on graduation day....but his 5th birthday is clearly not anywhere near the end of the school year, considering basketball is in the middle of the season. Jamie and Lily also share a birthday, but they didnt even mention that she should have been turning 5 too. If they have a birthday party for her in an upcoming episode, I am going to go nuts. I love this show, but they need to work on their continuity.

Oh, and one more thing, many of the people I know including me watch the show because of the story between Brooke and Lucas.
And I know how hard it would be for Sophia and Chad to do more scenes together, but that is one of the reasons why SOPHIA BUSH became my favorite actresses, and first person from the world of famous and popular I'd like to meet.

Greetings for Sophia Bush!

Honestly, I almost cried during the BRUCAS scenes. They fit sooo perfectly together, so natural, so RIGHT...
Peyton and Lucas was a bit forced.It is like Lucas knew that he would regret for the rest of his life if he didn't try to be with Peyton, but she took him for granted.
Also, ALL OF US(Leyton aand Brucas lovers) know that if it was Brooke, she would have definitely said YES. Because they are the perfect mach.
PLEASE, PLEASE BRING BRUCAS BACK FOREVER

BRUCAS IS LOVE! COUCH SCENE WAS AMAZING!

The episode was excellent - I wanna thank James and Mark and the Cast for doing the Charity Basketball Game - we came down from philly and it was worth every minute but the minutes went by to quick. ONE TREE HILL ROXX -

Loved the BPA scenes - Hilarie was hilarious! "Brooke's boob" & "Brooke!...really!?" Her and Sophia mugging for Angie was fun and a nice way to start the episode.
The Haley/clown door scene was really funny, too. Joy's facial expression was priceless.
Loved SP friendship as well, but, not as a couple.
BL are definitely better as friends, too. There is an ease to the friendship that isn't there as a couple.
Millicent was funny with the water gun.
Can Lucas be anymore dense?
Lindsey knows he still loves Peyton and Lindsey's not coming back.
Haley told him he's still in love with Peyton...wake up Lucas!

LEYTON LEYTON LEYTON

I hope Lucas learns of Brooke's sacrifice to let him go and potentially find greater happiness with Peyton! Brooke is not over Lucas, and I hope Lucas is reminded of his feelings for Brooke!

GO BRUCAS!

I agree with all the comments on the Brucas relationship!they are meant to be, and the chemistry is so undeniable!

"would appreciate the things i took for granted. but i think that these things needed to happen for us to get what we want in the end " or something to that effect it was a definite bl foreshadowing. he took brooke for granted in the past and that all the obstacles they went through will be worth it in the end cause they'll be together."
that, (comment by chelsea) is exactly how i see it. Remember in season 1 when brooke told lucas that people who are meant together always find their way back in the end? well that my friends, is what is being forshadowed. None of us can ignore what Brucas had. He WAS in love wiht her, and he cant just forget that so easily and have moved on to Peyton. its just not humane. so i think Mark needs to close the show (not that it's going to be over anytime soon, we still have 6th season and hopefuly 7th) but when it does come to an end, i and a lot of the core fans would really like to see Brucas together for the final scene. They are the core of the show, and its what we all want to witness. BRUCAS FOREVER!

I guess I have a heart of stone then because I disliked the Brooke and Jamie scene. It's pure BS... especially considering Brooke said that she came to Tree Hill for a baby... she didn't even see Jamie once in four years and all of a sudden she wants a baby cuz of him... well, didn't she say she wanted the baby before she came? meaning she didn't know Jamie, right?

Also... I love Jamie's scenes with his parents. That morning scene with Haley and Jamie was pure <3 . But honestly, other characters hog him and he doesn't spend enough time with his family and that really annoys me.

Skillz was annoying... especially with the continuous "go after Lucas, P. Sawyer!" (*roll eyes*). That's another thing that's inappropriate that he didn't apoligize for at the wedding... suggesting that Peyton break it up.

I'm sad about Lindsey and Lucas :( but I loved Lucas and Haley! <3

Not enough Scott family scenes in an episode that was supposed to be a Scott's birthday...

Joy looked amazing though <3

loved. this. episode.

Brooke/Lucas were totally adorable. I loved it. I've always been a fan of leyton, but you got to admit brooke and lucas are great together.

Skills/Peyton, probably my favorite part of the episode. I love these two, they're so funny. I also adored Skills and Jamie :D

Deb/Clown, kinda random and kinda inappropriate lol. but not surprising.

Naley. all scenes were cute, but still needed more.

Peyton. always my favorite character. I really feel for her, I think she's trying so hard to move on, but almost every conversation she has with anyone is about lucas. I think they just need to let her deal with it by herself. I love her with lucas, but not right now. It'd be awesome to get jake back!

brooke and lucas owned the episode. i agree that right now lucas is in love with lindsey not brooke or peyton but i think that brooke definately is in love with lucas. and when they start to spend more time together lucas will see that she is the girl for him.

when he said " i would appreciate the things i took for granted. but i think that these things needed to happen for us to get what we want in the end " or something to that effect it was a definite bl foreshadowing. he took brooke for granted in the past and that all the obstacles they went through will be worth it in the end cause they'll be together.

they looked so perfect as a family !

BRING LEYTON BACK!

sry, i forgot to tell you at the charity game haha.

-Mackenzie Quick(NY)

Brooke and Lucas were the highlight of the episode. They have so much chemistry - please Mark, don't let it go to waste.

Reunite BRUCAS!<3

BL owned!!!
The best episode of the season, their chemistry is AMAZING, i love this couple so much, i missed their season 2 friendship (and more), thx mark for that, we want more now lol
Brucas make the show, bring brucas back mark, it's so obvious, they're meant to be together to make their own child and happy family!!!!

Jamie Luke Scott "Happy Birthday!" Loved this episode. P Sawyer and Skillz were great! Love their friendship! Naley....I want more scenes! Lindsay stinks! Did she just come back to torture Lucas? Brucas scenes were great! Please don't redo the Leyton/Brucas triangle! Deb and the clown were hysterical! Dan....sorry you're dying but I have no sympathy for you...YOU KILLED KEITH and I can't forgive you. I don't blame Nathan for not caring. I just hope the writers don't kill off a character to give him a heart.

I really enjoyed this episode. Not only because I'm a Brucas fan, but because I'm a fan of the core 5. Though their time limited, Nathan and Haley were still pretty prominent. Wanting to protect their child, which any parent would want to do after any ordeal, was so beautiful to see.

Skillz has a voice in this episode. I love him for his comic relief, but we got to see a different side of him. We got to see that he was truly there for Naley and family during the "4 years" we didn't see. He's a great friend to the family.

Peyton..I really felt for her this episode. She's so conflicted trying to move on, but then being pulled back when people tell her to hold on. If it's meant to be, it will happen. Might not be today, might not be tomorrow...might be someday, you never know.

Brooke and Lucas' scenes together were nothing but love in my eyes. We got to see their friendship that I have sorely missed for a couple of seasons. This reintroduction by Mark and Company is exactly what my heart needed. It goes to show why I love Brooke and Lucas so much...whether they have a great friendship or in a relationship, their love for one another is true.

I think Lucas is still in love with Lindsey at this point but obviously she won't take him back so he'll have to move on....


And I L-O-V-E the fact that Brucas are getting back to the same kind of friendship they had in S2 *good times* and I really believe it could lead into a romantic relationship again for them. They just feel natural together. There is no propping by other characters telling them they're meant to be so if they fall in love again it's all their own doing which will be love.

I'm so over Peyton and her moaning over Lucas. But I did like her for admitting she is also in love with the idea of Lucas. There you go girl! Now move on and look for someone who wants you, because Luke could have had you all along as you've made yourself an option for the entire season and he still didn't go back to Peyton.

Brucas just feels natural and I truly believe their friendship will lead to more in the end (S6).

watch this.
lucas is depressed over lindsey
they take the baby away from brooke.
to comfort each other brooke and lucas have a night of passion
she gets pregnant!!!!!!!!
suprise, it's time for lindsey 2 go anyway, she'a drag in the story line

BRUCAS ALL THE WAY !
i'm not sure if they'll be together again.
but I freakin love their scenes.
They have an amazing chemistry.

That scene at the end was amazing! I'm all for Brucas.. But I hate seeing any of them sad and depressed... what they need to do is bring back my man JAKE! and Him and Peyton should have Honestly stayed together! like they were perfect! and even she knew it! but yea....

Dan's telling teh truth.. no lie there.. and you can't Blame Naley.. the last time they trusted him, they let him in, allowed him to be around and everything and they find out he killed his own brother in cold bloood... THEY CAN'T WIN... . no matter how bad he might have felt.. now he happly goes around telling people that he killed him! NO REMORSE! i love dan.. .buut i hate him at the same time.... AND HELLO! he's ALREADY putting Basketball into JAMIE'S head.. i knwo he's already in lvoe with it.. but yea... give him Nate's old jersey so the saga of bullying can CONTINUE! no way in hell DAN! LOVED THIS EPPY! and Skillz is fine... it wasn't his fault!

Lucas doesn't seem over it but he better! I can see that Haley and Skillz are both rooting for Peyton to get back with Luke. Haley does know him the best and that he SHOULD be with Peyton.
The scenes with Luke, Brooke, and Angie were soooo cute! They are such great friends and there is NO romance between them whatsoever.
Skillz and Jamie are darling and the whole thing with Deb and Bucko was disgusting!! Who in their right mind would be attracted to a clown?? Hello!?
I honestly hope that Lindsey has left Tree Hill for EVER. She is nice and I don't want her to get her heart broken worse later on. She knows they aren't meant to be and that's very smart of her.

the opening scene between brooke and peyton was funny. Millie and mouth are cute and i missed seeing fergie and junk. I def. loved the scenes between Peyton and Skills..i love their friendship. Jamie is always amazing. I love the wii scene between him and skills. Naley scenes are awesome. I figured the SL for Dan would have something to do with HCM and now luke has something to think about rather than getting back lindsay.

The whole lucas pining over lindsay and thinking she would came back is getting trivial. i feel sorry for him, but lets face it.. he wrote a book about someone. im sure he loved lindsay and vice versa but i think he will always love peyton.

After seeing this episode.. im def. feeling that BL are just purely friends which i love that. I am an LP fan but I dont mind BL.. i just want them to be friends and by seeing the scene from this whole season, they are completely platonic. if mark wanted to bring back LPB triangle everyone would get sick of it.

I am a Lucas and Peyton fan but I have to admit that the Brucas scene at the end was beautiful. I can't help but wonder how uncomfortable Chad and Sophia were when reading that scene in the script and then having to shoot it. I will never tire of saying this... Kudos to both of them for putting aside their differences and contuing on making a great show!!

I loved that episode where lucas is holding angie and he covers brooke up and then she goes over and lays by him and he puts his arm around her it is so sweet. It also gave some hope to me as a Brucas fan i lope they get back together they are the best couple. I loved that Skills and Peyton were bonding i think they would be cute together. I love that dan is tryin to be there and that Lindsay left Lucas for good even though it really hurts him.

I didnt love that Nathan, Haley and Deb were bein so mean to Dan i think he is tryin to make hisself better and they are just bein assholes.. I didnt like that wierd clown if he is on there more it will be really stupid.

But I cant say many bad things about the show I mean heck I just plain love it..

lucas and brooke (as much as i love them)can't get together, as it would KILL peyton and we'd have that love triangle all over again for the 3rd time!
loved jamie and skills, and generally jamie with everyone:) nathan needs to get over his thing with dan aswell, because i love dan, and him and jamie are so cute!

I just loved this episode.
I loved that SKillz & the guys had put all the things in a shelf, and everything fell down. I showed that they tried.And it was kind of funny that Haley/Bethany said Antwon instad of Skillz. Ops!

And I REALLY LOVED brucas this episode. Being there for each other. I loved when Lucas watched Angie when Brooke worked. They seemed like a loving family. And it was so adorable when they cuddled in the end. It made me remind of how much I love brucas. and it gave me hope. After wachting that scene I couldn`t stop smiling. And me cheecks hurted. I love brucas so much, and this episode proved us why. They have an amazing chemstry. And they seemed to comfortable with each other.
I have jopes that Brucas will be the end game<33

I want Lucas and Peyton to be a couple once again.

I LOve BRucass!! they're so great together, whether as friends or lovers!They have so much chemistry!! Let the friendship built up and bring back LUcas!!! They're perfect for each other!

lucas seems over it? you must have been watching the show with your eyes closed and your ears plugged. he seemed anything BUT over it.

would LOVE to see a brugie family in the future. it was tender, pure, honest and sweet--for once something that wasn't laced with lies--and the only time he has ever been in a relationship with peyton was when he hurt somsone else--that isn't real. it seems this thing with brooke could be real and NOT based on lies and betrayal and cheating. both lucas and brooke ahve grown up, finally. and i did like that both skills and haley told pukey-peyton to let lucas go.
