One Tree Hill: Many (Un)Happy Returns
But perhaps they were saving the plot-advancing wallop for the end, because up until the last few minutes, the ep just sort of ticked along for us. Brooke and Julian are still star-crossed and conflicted, and they can't ever get around to be in love enough to overcome obstacles at the same time. Said obstacles -- that would be Alex and Alexander -- continue to annoy, although we give Alex props for searching out Millie and taking her away from the druggie party. But Alexander? As far as we can tell, he brings nothing to the party -- and we NEVER say that about someone with an accent. He's just bleh, and an unnecessary obstacle. Sigh.
There's more after the jump -- read on!
We were a bit shocked with the Millie storyline -- not that she'd be tempted, but that Victoria of all people would come to her rescue. Granted, Calliope would have bugged us a bit, too ("Calliope. The phone. Answer it."), but we don't know if that annoyance would have prompted us to sweep in and hire Millie in the courthouse itself. Brooke and Victoria both worry that she'd getting soft.... and so do we. Fortunately, she still has some fabulous Bitchtoria moments.
Clay and Quinn are happy to be back together -- although Clay freaks out a bit every time Nathan sees them. It's kind of adorable and kid of annoying simultaneously. We're glad Nate put him as ease by the end. Quinn continues to bug, but we'll give her a break because it's always slightly traumatic to get divorce papers, even if the marriage had been over for a while (in her head.) Plus at least she's not the all-out trainwreck known as Taylor...
Who appears in the last minutes of the show! Showing up unannounced is bad. Quasi-hitting on Nate is worse. But the absolute worst is showing up at the house with Quinn's ex-husband -- "I prefer to call him my new boyfriend" -- and sticking her tongue down his throat is front of everyone! What IS IT with this woman and her sisters' husbands? We don't care if Quinn and David are divorced -- spouses, boyfriends, ex-spouses and ex-serious-boyfriends are off limits without express written permission from the sister in question! That's Siblinghood 101!
There was more -- Jamie alienated his friends with his bragging about the tour (until Nate gave those friends backstage passes), and Mouth appeared at the end -- but none of that holds a candle to Taylor's betrayal. What do you think? Should Taylor be banned from Tree Hill for life? Is David being malicious or is he just Taylor's patsy? Talk about it in the comments!
