One Tree Hill: California, Here We Come... Or Not
After the major discovery about Peyton and her baby, we were shocked last week when they just kind of glossed over the subject. But this week, Lucas and Peyton start discussing the baby drama right off the bat. And they both vow to tell the important people in their lives about the troubles with the baby. Neither of them end up telling anyone anything. They figure there's always tomorrow. Or is there? It looks like Peyton is creating a kind of time capsule, chronicling her life for her child. Does she know something we don’t?
Recently dumped, Skills is ready to stop feeling sorry for himself and take a road trip. And he's dragging fellow dumpee Mouth with him. The rule is no sleep -- unless it means sleeping with horny co-eds. Skills takes Mouth to the old alma mater, which Gigi now conveniently attends. He also starts with the sexting from Mouth's phone and Gigi's into it! A few keg stands later Mouth is still feeling anti-party. His heart is in New York, so Skills suggests they take another road trip. Mouth ends up on Millie’s front steps, where he tells her that he can’t live without her anymore. She kisses him, which we figure means that she's in. Aw shucks!
Haley misses third period English and her kids miss her, too. So they all show up at the Scott house and tell her that they’re not leaving until she teaches them something. The lesson on "Catch-22" goes well until the principal shows up and puts the kibosh on the whole thing. Haley has the last laugh when the woman tries to get her to return to teaching and she informs her that she can't do that and still be true to herself. And then Haley reminds Devil Principal to learn how to teach by tossing her the lesson plans. Nice exit!
Ever since Dan admitted that he killed his brother, Jamie’s developed a serious interest in Keith. Nathan and Lucas want to show him who their uncle was. So they take him to Keith’s old garage and work on a car together. Clearly, we haven’t had enough time with the Scott brothers and Jamie this season. So cute! But after all is said and done, Jamie still wants to know if it’s okay that he misses Grandpa Dan. We all missed Grandpa Dan this week. A dog eats his heart last week and this week we don’t see him (or the dog!) at all.
Julian wants to write an epic love story with Brooke and returns to Tree Hill to whisk her (and Sam!) off to Malibu. She has a million reasons to not go but Peyton reminds her how unhappy she was when the boy she loved asked her to come with him and she said no. Peyton is quite the wise sage. Then Haley has to go ruin things by telling Brooke what a stable environment she’s provided for Sam and how far the kid’s come. Brooke does end up going to the airport but that’s as far as she’s going. Julian leaves without Brooke…again.
What did you think about this episode? What the heck is going on with Peyton and all that brooding? Where did Dan go? Are Mouth and Millie back? Is this it for Brooke and Julian? What's up with Jack kissing Sam? What do you plan on doing on Monday nights for the next three weeks? Sound off in the comments!

It was hard watching this after GG. The show is really slowing down and my interest is waning. And I've been a die hard fan since season 1. I'm sad to see Peyton scenes. Geez..give the girl a break. She's like the world's most unlucky person maybe. And Brooke irritates me now. She's never happy, even when she had everything. She's always too scared, or too angry...ugh. I guess leaving Tree Hill makes no sense since the show is One Tree Hill right? And reality means somebody has to move....so whatever. Skills and Mouth...eeek. Sorta happy to see the Moth and Milly reunion. But Mouth never did it for me, sorry. It's awkward seeing him as the love interest..hahaha. The show is really ending..I can feel it.

They're leading up to Peyton's death..There can't be a show without her. How can she leave Lucas? She should have an abortion.

WOW What a great ep.
So first of all: The whole Mouth and Skills thing... I don't know. I don't really care for them this episode. I was just so into the other plots.
Haley was great as usual. I mean I was excited for her music career but I think she can do sooo much more as a teacher. It is so much worth to have a teacher that students really like to listen to and learn from. And I bet she will get her job back. She just has to. And I liked the term "you totally thuded me" It reminded me on the first season. But what the ... the principal walk just in the house. Why do people in Tree Hill keep doing this?
Brooke and Julian OM GOSH. Payton tells her to go and Haley unknowing to stay. In my eyes she did the right thing. HEY they know each other just a Month. I mean you don't go of with a guy that you know that much or little. Ok, she is 22 which drives me totally crazy to see Sam in her care. I mean, I am 22 and barely can take care of my self.. But that is an whole other story. So she is young and could actually do this but she has responsibilities. And why can't he stay with her? Why dose the girl always have to leave with the guy? I thought it was nice of Payton to talk to Julian. It showed that she cared about Brook and was worry he would mess around with her.
So to my favorite ones...
LOVED LOVED LOVED The Scott boys together. It was so adorable and cute. Was it just me or seemed Jamie so much older and grown up in this episode. The working together on the car and the talking about Keith.... ohhhh. And he is sorry for what Dan did. This kid is just great. "Am I still alowed to miss grandpa Dan?" Did you see how the boys struggled with that one? I am so glad that they give the right answer though.
You totally can see that Lucas is worried about the pregnancy.
So Payton is doing this box for her baby. Absolutely right!!! So, she was the one who wanted to keep the baby. She was so sure she will survive the pregnancy. She was the strong one. But there is a pretty high risk it goes wrong so in this case she wants to prepare herself for that. Just in case, she wants her baby have something from her. I don't think this is giving up. She still can be worry over that. I am actually glad she did this. It showed me that she acknowledged the risk of this pregnancy. I got wet eyes...
Oh and guys, you said that Payton is touching her not existing belly all the time in one of the podcast. It shows that she wants to protect her child. Its logical to me.
The both not telling there friends whats going on... I don't know how I feel about that.
And Dan not in this episode. Well I thought that he packed his back last episode. I did not expect to see him in this one.
Just can't wait for the podcast girls!!!!

Brooke should kill herself if she can't make up her mind. I'm sick of her yelling, crying and whinnying. Jesus Peyton should have slapped her a few times.

Ok, if it were real then hell yeah brooke should have gone with julian, but as its a tv show, leaving tree hill really would mean leaving tree hill, and we cant have that can we? For the purposes of the show i am glad brooke stayed but i really wished she had told julian she loved him and/or asked him to stay before he made his decision to go. I <3 Brulian!
Mouth and Skills = boring! Skills at least is normally entertaining even if mouth isnt, but mouth just brought him down this week.
I was almost in tears watching peyton at the end. I think its sweet that she is making that little time capsule thing for her child, but it makes it seem like she is giving up, which is wrong. She should at least try and fight! But like you said, maybe she knows something we dont.
Enough with these stupid hiatuses already! I have no idea how im going to get through the next 3 weeks.
Anyway cant wait to listen to the podcast - love you guys! xoxo

Be thankful that OTH doesn't have two breaks like Supernatural.
