One Tree Hill Podcast: "One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning"
For kind of a sleepy town, Tree Hill has certainly become a violent place to live all of a sudden! First we had Brooke's attack last week, and now Q is murdered!
Sarah, Jackie and I knew towards the beginning of the episode that Quentin didn't have much time left. While he normally gets two minutes of screen time here and there, the focus of the show seemed to be about how he's changed his attitude. We've seen his adorable relationship with Jamie growing steadily (um, hello cute rap!); he just received an A+ from Haley for his Les Miserables review; he's shown Nathan that he has what it takes to make it back to the basketball courts... so of course, now he has to die.
Meanwhile, we were all a bit perturbed at how Brooke is handling her attack. Why won't she go to the police? How is learning how to use a gun the only way to solve her problems? Also, how does Peyton not know Brooke is lying about falling on her way to do laundry?
Naley finally got some cute screentime, and Nathan made our hearts melt when he told Haley he would quit basketball for her. Hopefully this won't backfire on Haley if she's forced to make a decision between her music career and family.
One of our favorite parts? Dan is back and is using his eeeeeeeeeeeeevil powers for...good? Nanny Carrie has no clue what she's up against; this should be fun to watch.
What did you think of this week's episode? Do you have any more predictions as to who Brooke's attacker was or why Q had to die? Listen to our One Tree Hill podcast for "One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning" and let us know what you think in the comments!

Comments
After listening to the podcast last week, and totally agreeing Sarah about how stupid it is of Brooke not to have called the police, I have rethought my position. I don't know if the thought has come up, but I was thinking that Brooke's hesitance might be due to rape (please, let me be wrong). I just feel like they went to a lot of trouble to show the bruises all over her body, and maybe that's supposed to lead to an even more intense (like we need it) storyline. If this is true, I really hope this show is up to the task of dealing with a rape in a sensitive way.

I agree that some great Nathan and Haley scenes came out of the last episode.
But I have to disagree with whomever said they were getting frustrated at Haley because Haley told Nathan he could either devote himself to basketball completely or not at all. I don't recall Haley ever telling Nathan to go one speed. If anything she's been supportive of everything he's been doing so far. Haley has been the only person on OTH to ever give Nathan the benefit of the doubt and the credit he deserves. She knows he's matured and has his priorities set--that's not really the issue. Just because Haley is feeling a bit unsettled by his back injury I really can't say I blame her for wanting Nathan to take it easy. It's a natural reaction for a person to be concerned for their husband whose ambitions may cloud their better judgment. Nathan may feel better but that doesn't mean the accident never happen. Haley encouraging/communicating her thoughts and fears is exactly what NH fans have been waiting for in a long time. I'm a bit disappointed in this weeks podcast for overlooking that.
I just wish you ladies would talk more about NH/LP. I hated how they were almost referred to as an afterthought to Brooke and Dan/Carrie's storylines. You ladies sure don't like the acts of violence on OTH but it obviously seems to get your attention more so than the other "simple" storylines.

So what is it? Honestly, is Peyton unaware of Brooke's pain, thinking she fell down the stairs and is missing Angie or is she aware of it but doesn't want to push her? Your post kind of points to both.
Sorry but its pretty oblivious to think that a victim of assault should just be left to their own doing. Peyton should pry and try to find out why her bff is black and blue, not just stand on the sidelines like some lesser friend. My first post already points out exactly why this is and exactly what the problem is here, so I'm not going to go over it again.

Loved the podcast, as always ;)
but when are you guys gonna do Season 2 podcast!
you guys are like on podcast hiatus lol
Posted by: JR | September 13, 2008 8:26 PM
I felt sorry for Q. I did not see that coming so I was shocked. Well I can understand how Brooke didn't go to the police because the press would just make this ordeal worse. I think that Brooke just wants to protect herself since she's gonna be alone in the house and she's fragile right now. Oh and this has Victoria written all over it. Oh and Mia you totally quoted me on how it was mean't to be Millicant, So I would like to take credit for that. Yea I thought this ep was eerie towards the end but it was well done. Naley was sooo awesome this episode. It was just perfectly done. Dan and psycho Carrie was awesome this episode Dan was perfect. But I think that she may use Dan as bait to get Jamie somehow. OMG well most fans wanted Leyton to happen and now that it's happened hardly anyone is talking about it (i'm not complaining)I mean I am a Brucas fan I don't mind Leyton. I have no problem with them. I think that their wedding will be at the end of season 6. But I am glad that Naley is getting more time than Leyton. I love the new dark plots it adds a whole new essence to the show.

Vortex199, did you not even read my post? Maybe in your opinion pushing someone is being a good friend. You can't hold everyone to your own ideals. Also, how can Peyton shoulder pain she's unaware of? As far as she knows, Brooke's missing Angie and Mouth.
Besides the fact, that Peyton knows that Brooke shuts down if she's pushed too hard about something. She did that all of season 5 regarding her mother. Anytime someone would try and talk to her about it she'd freak out. But, when Brooke wanted to talk about it, Peyton was there with open ears and arms. Peyton could be assuming it's more mom stuff and that Brooke isn't ready to spill yet.
Once again, I simply cannot understand how forcing someone to talk about their problems is a good thing. Forcing Brooke to open up before she's ready could be very damaging to her. She could do something drastic to herself or someone else. She could have an emotional or mental breakdown.
If you love Brooke so much, which you seem to, wouldn't you want what is best for her? You're only assuming that Peyton breaking down Brooke's walls is what is best for her right now. Brooke seems to think that being strong is what is best for her. when Brooke is ready to cry and deal Peyton will be there. I am sure of that.
Posted by: Peyton Sawyer Appreciation | September 13, 2008 4:26 PM
I expected Peyton to push Brooke. I expected her, as a best friend, to shoulder some of the pain. Not just waltz out of the house, bags packed and all, in Brooke's time of need.
I thought that this episode would be the one the writers use to show fans that Peyton can be just as good a friend as Brooke. Didn't happen.
Of course her lovers can't stop making excuses, their vision is too clouded. But I'm pretty sure they were, though they'll deny it, just as shocked as me by the way Peyton handled the situation.
Posted by: vortex199 | September 13, 2008 2:56 AM
loved this episode and a great podcast....just one question...when do the season 2 podcasts start!?!?!?
Posted by: JeniLee | September 12, 2008 9:22 PM
Vortex199, What is the appropriate course of action for Peyton IN YOUR OPINION on what it means to be a good friend? What should she have done here in order for you to be happy with it?
Perhaps calling her several times to check up on her? Perhaps spending a night with her on your lap while you carefully try and figure out what is amiss about your BFF?
Peyton tried to get Brooke to talk. Brooke doesn't want to talk. What kind of manners do some of you people have that you think forcing information out of people is a respectful and caring way to help someone? Especially when that person has made it clear they don't want to discuss what's bothering them.
Also, you are only assuming that Peyton is an idiot for believing the lie because we as viewers already have all of the information. If we were not provided the information I can guarantee you that Brooke being attacked and robbed would not be the 100% resounding obvious answer. Accidents do happen and I’m sure a lot of people would have speculated as such especially if they were TOLD Brooke had fallen down the stairs.
I just really want to know what would have been satisfying for you. Because it seems to me that nothing Peyton could have done would have been good enough. If Peyton had pushed Brooke too hard you would all be crying that Peyton’s a bitch who doesn’t respect Brooke’s space. There is no winning. Such is the illogical nature of Peyton-hate.

I liked this ep so much better than the premeire. Less Pucas is always a good thing. I don't care if they become a C plot (a Z plot would be even better). Loved Jamie calling Lucas out on his fickle attitude toward his love life.
I don't understand why Brooke is choosing not to allow her friends to help her or why she isn't getting the police involved either. I liked that Deb tried to be there for her. She might not have handled the situation perfectly but she did try to give Brooke what she needed so I give her points for effort.
Naley were wonderful and remain the biggest reason why I watch.
I really don't care that much about Q. His death was not that surprising and I feel like they are trying to sell him as a bigger character than he actually was. It would have affected me more if Mouth would have died instead. But the plot is being wasted on an insignifigant character that few people cared about last season.
Dan rules! I love to hate this character. But I still find nanny Carrie to be a lame villian.
Posted by: Con | September 11, 2008 9:06 PM
I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I'll be doing that in a little while. I just had to comment on the episode first, mainly Q's death. I can honestly say that I predicted Q would die back at the end of season 5, but I didn't know how or exactly why they would. Watching his scene at the gas station killed me. The look in his eyes when he turned his back to the guy was so sad to see. I hate to see Robbie Jones leave the show. Somebody at the CW needs to give this guy another show. I'd hate to have to just see him in Nike and Hot Pocket commercials now.
But I can't say anything about the scene without analyzing it...Quentin drives a Camaro or something like that but he goes inside to pay for $20? $20 no longer gets much gas, especially in his car. And hardly anybody goes inside anymore unless they buy something else, right? We all are debit card freaks. And finally, Lucas gets a phone call aboout Quentin? Since when is your basketball coach on the phone list to give the horrible news to? Maybe the next day but not the same night.
Overall, I liked this episode much better then the premiere but I already know I'll be crying for Jamie and Q next week.
Posted by: Jessica | September 11, 2008 6:25 PM
Sarah- the more episodes that pass the more you think exactly what I am. As soon as Q told Haley that he had a brother I thought that somebody was going to adopt him. It might not actually come to fruition, but that was the first thing my mind went to.
About Leyton being the C-plot, I think he chose Peyton purposely for it to become the C-plot. They've already been a couple, they've been presented as having all that belonging together and whatever on their side, so they can just quietly be happy and not need much coverage. That's the only way that the show would be allowed to have the other, darker, more involved plots. It frees up space and energy for Brooke to get attacked, Dan to be kidnapped, and Q to die- and for the viewer to be able to digest it all.

Peyton must be THE MOST clueless friend ever, or the most awful.
Meagan, you seriously blame Brooke for not being there when Psycho Derek attacked the first time? Peyton, at this point, wasn't even friends with Brooke, because of the Lucas scenario (which Brooke was obviously in the right, I've been in that sort of situation).
Anyway, Brooke made me get all teary in all her scenes (esp. the "I'm not going to cry" and the pan-up of her lying in bed all scratched) :(
Sophia needs an award - best acting upto record...
Posted by: Tara | September 11, 2008 12:04 PM
I love how people say the friendship is one sided. Go back into the series and watch all season and then see how one-side it is. Where was Brooke when Psycho Derek - the first attack. Where was Brooke when Peyton got shot and all she was doing was beside Lucas. Where was Brooke w/ Elle. Nope all she can do is Make fun of Peyton's dead Parents. The Friendship goes both ways. They both have their fault in it.
Just because Peyton is trying to give her friend space. Doesn't mean she a bad friend. Peyton has no reason to believe her best friend would lie to her after all these years and all they been through. Peyton did sense that something was off, and she probably will figure it out.
Also LP are C- plot now because they have their own Storylines coming up in the next few Episode, Mark just wants to give Brooke fans, for a storyline they always complained about not having. Because Peyton always got the drama. So now he wants to give them something. Lucas has a plot line coming up. Peyton has one to of her own. The LP have one together. It doesn't always have to be about them, don't people always complain how OTH is always about them. but when it's not people want to know why? It's funny though. When it's not about them. The Characters still mention them. LOL!!
Posted by: LBJ | September 11, 2008 10:16 AM
Who cares about Leyton or Brucas? The highlight of this episode for me was Breyton. This episode only emphasized on how one sided the BP friendship really is. Finally, finally Peyton was given the chance to show what she was made of and she blew it.
Firstly, if she honestly believed 'I fell down the stairs' I will seriously forgive her, because I don't think that the mentally ill should be held accountable for their actions.
If she didn't, well what a sh** faced b*****. Seriously, she walks into the house and sees Brooke. Brooke cooks up some unrealistic story about tripping. Instead of looking worried out of her head, Peyton begins to gush about herself and Lucas, while smiling like an oaf. Hello, something is seriously wrong with Brooke. Now isn't the time to make the moment about you Peyton. And then she moves out a second later, hence distancing herself from Brooke further.
The only thing that upset me more than the way Peyton handled the situation is the nerve of her fans to defend her. Number one excuse: 'Peyton is just trying to give Brooke space. She'll let her come around when she wants to'. And when exactly will that be? Maybe never. What if Brooke has been physically, emotionally and sexually abused so much so that she is unable to come around? The closest person to her has just packed her bags, despite the situation and walk out on her. How is that supposed to make her feel? And how is that supposed to help her come around faster?
Seriously, Peyton has got to be the worst best friend ever.
Posted by: vortex199 | September 11, 2008 12:49 AM
I really enjoyed all the "darkness" in this past episode. I think this will allow for many more storylines.
I have to say that I like the Deb/Brooke pairing because A) It gives Deb more to do than sneak around with Skills B) It gives Brooke a mother figure to turn to that has been in a dark place before and C) We have never really gotten a chance to see these two together and being the sixth season I think it's great that there is still room to grow with the main character's relationships.
I still think that the writers can do better with Haley's storylines. I liked the Nalehy scenes in this episode but I hope in the episodes to come we get more Naley.
I actually think that the death of Q will be positive for the show. From the preview we can already tell that Jamie will be affected by his death in a big way. I think it is important to see Jamie grow in this way... He doesn't always have to be the cute kid that says adorable things, he can actually have a character arc.
I didn't really notice the LP C-plot until you gals mentioned it, but I do think your right. It is strange how all summer that was topic numero uno now it feels like old news. I think your right about them having seperate storylines and that is important. Too many fans complain when they feel like OTH has become the Leyton sitcom. They can become too sappy, but I do love seeing them happy, LOL. I feel like they will have some great moments this season but they will have lots to worry about besides the wedding.
As always I'm waiting impatiently for next week and next podcast.... hopefully we will see more OTH podcasts of season two soon.... please!

Okay whatever say what you all want to say but you all know Lucas and Peyton were destined to be together from season one and every knows it so just shove your comments up your butt and deal with it. Lucas is with someone he truley loves and has always loved so deal with facts hunny!
Posted by: Meagan | September 10, 2008 7:53 PM
I'm pretty sure Jackie is the only one of you guys who has seen seasons 2-4. but I just have a question. In episode 3x17, "Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them?" Brooke and Lucas have a dialogue that goes as follows:
B: "I watched you rescue Peyton, and you told me you rescued Dan, and sometimes I just wish you could rescue me."
L: "From what?"
B: "From all of it"
L: "Okay then, I will. If you promise to rescue me back."
B: "I promise."
I'm not saying we will have a return of the Brucas relationship, but I'm just wondering if you guys think that has any significance. Also, right before she is attacked, Brooke says "This is what I wished for." If you remember, in 5x05, Brooke had said that "Lucas Scott is the one boy I would have lost it for." Meaning, that she could have wished for him, instead, in a sense.
Whether it's platonic or not, do you think that Lucas will be involved at all in Brooke's storyline involving her recovery from the attack? It feels strange that he wouldn't be, considering all the scenes they had together in S5. He also tells Peyton that he had really wanted to see Brooke when Peyton couldn't reach her in 6x02. And Jamie had asked Lucas if he had ever been in love with "Aunt Brooke."
It could be just my inner Brucas fan wishing, but what do you guys think?
Posted by: Emma | September 10, 2008 7:49 PM
Hi Gals, enjoyed the podcast this week but next time PLEASE don't put the spoiler in the podcast description, I hadn't watched the episode when I read it.
So sad they killed off Q, think it was totally unnecessary with all the drama already going on. Imagine how sad Jamie will be, get the tissues.
Posted by: Nicole | September 10, 2008 6:59 PM
lol so once again, on itunes, the epi title is wrong! lol we won't get to see part 2 of touch me im gonna scream, later on in the season. lol
i agree about the whole Q thing, i was SOO obvious to me! sad still, his eyes with tears in them, KILLED me! but i saw it coming! --but i feel like it HAD to have been for a reason!
um, and im sorry, i dont care how happy peyton is, you don't miss how messed up brooke is! you dont get that for falling down the stairs. and yes, in the scene when they were lying on the sofa, peyton may have been inclined to something... BUT wtf?!?! when peyton was leaving she was like "oh i have no idea where brooke is hmmm..." and then the camera stayed on the empty room and you saw the door, i was like "if brooke is in that damn room i am going to KILL peyton!" i think peyton completely FAILED as a friend in this episode.
-as for brooke not wanting to tell ppl, or the police, i TOTALLY agree, she does not want to be seen as vulnerable (hence the reason i think lucas will save her!!)
-and honestly i don't think that brooke is thinking along the lines of if she tells some1 about her attack it will prevent it from happening again. --yea, b/c of the stuff that was taken, brooke has to know it was her mother... and i dont know if brooke would do that to her mom... idk, she has seemed to always defend victoria when other ppl talk bad about her... so idk.
yea, nxt wk is gonna be KILLER! jamie is gonna have me BAWLING the whole time!
the "i've been having sex" line and then confronting nathan about it was SOOOO classic OTH!! and i DEF loved it!!!
i LOVED the naley this episode!! :D
haha dan was def a creeper in this episode! he freaked me out more than carrie with his whole "your plan sucks"
i am DANGEROUSLY over l/p and it's been a whole TWO episodes!
but yea, i think l/p is set up for disaster! mark has often said that once you realize that everything is gonna be okay with a couple, it all falls apart. so i've had my fill of fluff l/p and im ready for it to be over!
--i also wonder about next week, if Qs storyline is gonna overshadow brooke's storyline... if Brooke goes to the funeral, idk why she would, but if she did how would they explain it to jamie, i mean, naley and lucas dont even know yet! i just wonder how both storylines are gonna flow...
-oh and i def thought that naley could get Qs brother, but im not sure they would bring another toddler into the show, b/c how many storylines can a 5year old have?
cant wait for next wk!
Posted by: amanda | September 10, 2008 6:29 PM
wow...so much leyton hate :o so not cool.
i've come to the conclusion that no matter what this show does, it's impossible to make everyone happy.
but thanks anyways for a good podcast.

Are you kidding me? Not enough Pucas? It was nauseating how much they were there. And the jumping on the bed was annoyingly stupid. Especially when she was jumping over him. All they are is physical. So much for the "deep LP connection" that people yak about.
Everything else, I totally agree.
Posted by: Soccer7SG | September 10, 2008 6:03 PM
Love the podcast guys...I completly agree with the you guys on the whole Brooke/Peyton thing. Come on...fell down the stairs...her face was way to messed up to just have fallen down some stairs. Why isn't Peyton telling Lucas about Brooke's accident? I just feel like she's choosing not to help Brooke and taking the easy way out.
Nanny Carrie is nuts and I love that Dan is now placing his vindictive evil ways on someone who deserves it. Remember Haley saw "Dan" driving pass the school, but it was really Nanny Carrie, so I think that Haley will find her and be the one to help Dan out of his captivity. I would love another Haley/Carrie fight...Haley is great when she's mad and protective! Love Naley and Jamie, what a smart kid he is...he brings a great element to the show...
As far as Leyton, I am not a big fan, i think the storyline is weak and does not show us WHY they should be together...the writers are holding on to a storlyine from season 1 and really have not proven to us why they are meant to be. I don't think Leyton should last...but at this point I think all Brucas fans are at a lost.
Thanks for the great podcasts guys...I'll be listening next week...
Posted by: Brittany | September 10, 2008 12:46 PM
I've read somewhere that Q's mother is going to appear next episode so I don't think there will be any adoption in the horizon! Sorry! Anyway good podcast.
Posted by: lucasandpeyt | September 10, 2008 12:01 PM
Love how OTH is starting out...I have pretty much given up on the whole love triangle thing even though I feel the writers didn't give Brooke and Lucas a realistic break up even back in season 4...that said LOVE the whole Dan and Nanny Carrie evilness. Now Dan finally has someone to terrioze who actually deserves it.
Nalel and Jamie, love the family dynamic...give Luke some more screen time with Nathan and Haley though...and OH HOW I MISS MY BALEY FRIENDSHIP...what happened to Brooke and Haley writers...come on, Brooke is Jamie's god Mom, they were roomates for over a year...i think Haley should be the one to help Brooke through this time...
Peyton and Lucas...whatever...I love them way more on their own...if you bring Jake back...that would be GREAT!
Basically, build up the frienships again...I miss the closeness OTH used to have, now everyone is like breaking off and each one has a different storyline, let the characters meld!

"Your plan sucks." I loved that!
Now that he can speak again, imagine the banter! Carrie thinks she can out-eeeeveeeel Dan?! Really?! The guy's a killer, among other things! She's just a kidnapper!
Brooke didn't want to involve the police because of the publicity it would bring to the the clothing line, and to her. I'm sure she has an idea that it was Victoria that planned the robbery. Think about it, what robber would steal money, a computer, then clothes designs? I don't think robbers in Tree Hill are that fashion forward! I think she called Deb because she was the only remaining adult in Tree Hill that wasn't an ex con. Deb really stepped up this episode!
Leyton, eh. I don't really care too much about them. I did on season1, but it's too overplayed already.
And Peyton just left Brooke! Brooke looked like a mess and was clearly not herself, talking about justice and she seems like she lost her bubbly personality, and Peyton just left her to live with Lucas?! That is not how a bestfriend should act!
Deb/Naley/Jamie scenes were awesome!
Q, i was kinda expecting that he'd be offed, I think Sarah mentioned that last episode. And when he walked to the gas station, I knew it was gonna happen. Why else would they show Q on the last of minutes of the show? Still, it's sad. He was partly responsible for the happiness that is Naley.
Oh and guys, you also made a mistake on the episode title on the iTunes podcast.
Yay Sarah said eeeeveeeel!

Oops! I have to take the blame for the wrong episode title. Sorry about that -- it's fixed now.
Posted by: Jackie | September 10, 2008 8:54 AM
I loved this episode!!!! But first the title is "One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning", not "TM,IGTS part 2".
I want to think that Victoria was behind the attacks, but Mark always has surprises for us. I can't wait to find out.
Posted by: Katy | September 10, 2008 6:17 AM
Hey guys, first time posting. I enjoy your podcasts. Hate to break it to you but the episode is actually titled “One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning.” We will be getting “Touch Me I’m Going to Scream (Part Two)” later on in the season according to Mark. Lol.
Ok, moving right along. The girl that ended up with Lucas was inevitably going to become a C-plot. Since it's Peyton they don't want to piss off the Brucas fans. So, Brooke gets a meaty storyline and LP is pushed into the background. It's just the way it works. If it were Brooke he chose, then Peyton would have gotten a meaty storyline.
Now, about the whole BP friendship. I don't think you guys were giving Peyton enough credit. She has been best friends with Brooke for something like 12 years. She knows how Brooke works. Do you guys remember the library scene in 509? All the girls are trapped in the library together. Haley and Peyton start talking to Brooke about her mother. Brooke says, “You don’t know anything about it” multiple times. When they keep pushing her, she walks away from them. Pushing Brooke on a subject she’s not willing to talk about results in her backing away.
It is obvious there is something wrong with her and Peyton knows that. Brooke just lost Angie, Mouth, and Millie. That could very well be the reason why she’s upset in Peyton's mind. I just don't think "Brooke got brutally attacked and robbed" would be the first thing that comes to anyone's mind. Peyton recognizes that pushing Brooke will only make Brooke shy away and turn inward. Respecting someone’s space is a big deal for me. I would never push my friend if I knew she didn’t want to talk about something. Brooke did say explicitly, “I don’t want to talk about it.” Peyton is taking her word and giving her space knowing that whatever it is, Brooke will come to her eventually.
I think this storyline for Brooke is very intriguing. I like what Sophia is doing with it. I’m also interested in seeing where this goes from here and what will happen when everyone finds out. But, I have to disagree with you guys on something. I think Brooke has every right to handle it her way. No one, including Deb, should be pushing her to call the cops, etc. Brooke is a victim and she is in a very precarious emotional state. Pushing her to deal with everything before she's ready could be extremely dangerous to Brooke emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Q’s death seems very unnecessary. However, I can’t bring myself to care about it. Call me insensitive. Also, if it means we get to see more NH then I’m happy. Nathan and Haley had great scenes together this week. I loved it. It didn’t seem like they were just filler anymore. It’s also nice to see a plot with them that doesn’t involve third party drama and psycho nannies. Their scenes were adorable.
I know you guys aren’t huge LP fans but please show them a little love! They are a great couple. The writing did not do them justice in the last half of season 5. Trust me a lot of “Leytoners” are pissed about that. But, we love them and are thrilled to see them together! I think they were written a lot more natural and fun in this episode. Right now, they are kinda pushed aside with all the dark plots. But, we will see more of LP soon enough. Just give them a chance. That’s all I’m saying.

hey guys..firstly, it sucks that peyton didnt see through her fake excuse..also i would like in the next eps for then to build up the love of leyton, coz it feels a bit lost - maybe flashbacks? or more proof that they should b together?! also LOVE naley and jamie..der...its all very obvious..little commentary needed...plus fingered crossed for more luurve scenes for naley...so happy with the dark turn, and i think carrie kills Q - it was female, taned and manicured hands...and she was desperate for a heart...or just to vent? i think that if victoria was sick enough to get someone to beat up her own daughter,than carrie is insane enough to kill Q for his heart!!! and i really like brooke dark. i think she's always had it in her..and it makes for a great personal journey..plus now haley is the comedian on the show (and skills/deb..which is grossly nice.. i aprove!) and well, jamie is as always WONDERFUL.
p.s looking forward to further haley and nate's story lines. and i miss mouth!!! (most important.. will there be a season 2 OTH podcast?..PLZ!!!!!)
love...shailee..u guys are amazing!!!

I think the episode is just an introduction. Each character will deal with certain situation. Lucas will focus on his career and his newly family. Peyton will face her biological father and helping Brooke. Nathen must stand by his family and straggle to be a basketball player. Haley focus will be standing by Nathen, protect her son and be a successful singer. And for Brook .. WOW .. she will go to a dark place as mentioned, she will face her mother to win her company back. Also she will deal the beating and the steeling in a bad way except if she was saved.
I hope OTH will drop a package of surprises and lots of Drama this season.
