One Tree Hill was all over the place this week -- just like the characters, who were mostly all living in their own world. But Jackie, Mia and I are together on our disappointment with the episode. But hey -- at least Nanny Carrie is finally gone for good! (We hope.)

Nanny Carrie puts her fiendish plan (which, Dan is quick to remind us, sucks) into action and lures Haley and Jamie to her house of horrors. Fortunately, Deb and Dan are there to help out, because Nathan is checking out a basketball team far away, Lucas is off dealing with book stuff in New York, Peyton is worrying about her maybe-dad, and Brooke is confronting her feelings with the help of her shrink. Oh, and Millie's back ... but where's Mouth?

Find out what we really think about the Nanny Carrie storyline (in case you couldn't guess), hear our ideas for Brooke's new venture (hint -- it showed up on America's Next Top Model last season!), hear the evidence we discover that proves Peyton's paternity, and findout why Lucas is really skipping Chicago on the book tour.

Last night's One Tree Hill makes a third episode ending in violence this season, and it's the second time someone has died during the series from a Dan-inflicted gunshot. But that Nanny Carrie certainly is resilient! We thought she was dead the first time Dan shot her, but she survived to taunt him one last time before he finally finished her off.

The Nanny Carrie/Jamie/Haley/Dan/Deb plot was the bloodiest of the night, but other plotlines had us equally intrigued. Most of the Tree Hill gang spent the episode apart -- let's catch up on what everyone was up to:

What's up with Lucas? He's going to NYC for a meeting... with Lindsey. And he hasn't told her about him and Peyton yet. Uh oh. When he arrives, he wants to tell Lindsey the news, but she cuts him off -- she wants to avoid awkwardness. She shows Lucas the cover of his new book, The Comet, and he's blown away.

The publishing company wants to send Lucas on a major book tour, but one of the dates conflicts with something big... his and Peyton's wedding. Lucas finally tells Lindsey why he has to change the date, and she doesn't take the news well. Emotional and teary, she tells him she wishes he had just called instead of coming to her office.

Our own Jason C. sits down with One Tree Hill's James Lafferty to get his take on the dark turn this season has taken. Plus, he gets the scoop on what James did when he found out Q was dying, talks about the father-son arc that Nate and Jamie have been on, and gets some hints about what's coming up for Dan. Warning: Extreme spoiler-phobes might hear too much, but we think this clip is fine for most viewers.

Jackie, Mia and I were torn on this episode of One Tree Hill. There were some fun moments, but it left us feeling like something was lacking. Where was the interaction between all the characters? Who decided to let Nanny Carrie threaten poor Chester? And what were they thinking with the basketball plot?

It seems like no one is having a good time in Tree Hill. The ghost of Q pops up everywhere, haunting Lucas, Skills, Nate, Haley and Jamie. Meanwhile, Brooke and Peyton seem to be on another show entirely -- their plots didn't intersect at all with the rest of the crew. We vent our frustration at this state of affairs, come up with a great idea for a Saturday morning cartoon spin off, contemplate the total lack of home security in Tree Hill, wonder when Maury Povich will be visiting the town, dish about the appropriateness of the Skills/Deb relationship, and consider whether Q would really be touched by the four-man basketball team that Lucas puts on the court.

One Tree Hill's Lee Norris turns 27 today. Happy birthday, Lee! We've met him several times on the set of OTH, and he's one of the nicest celebrities ever -- always friendly and happy to chat. We hope Lee has a fantastic day!

We haven't seen much of Lee this season on OTH -- Mouth hit the road with Millicent in the season premiere to pursue his career dreams in Nebraska. The couple has a solid relationship -- definitely the most serious Mouth's ever had -- and we're looking forward to seeing more of them later this season. Come back, Mouth and Millicent! The show isn't the same without you.

While he's taking a break from regular OTH appearances, Lee is filming a movie scheduled for 2009 release, a Vietnam-era drama called Blood Done Sign My Name. We hope he manages to find some time to relax between projects!

Have a great birthday, Lee! Post your birthday wishes for Lee in the comments!

In the days following Quentin's funeral, life (sort of) gets back to normal for the gang. Well, as normal as life can be in Tree Hill, where your parents might be sleeping with your friend (Deb), possibly attacking you (Victoria), or emerging from the woodwork (Mick).

The episode got off to a sad start with a montage of everyone remembering Q. It was nice to see the guy again, but seeing him also reminded us that he's gone for good. Tear! We miss him.

Here's what everyone was up to this week:

One Tree Hill certainly knows how to tug at our heartstrings! There were countless tearjerker scenes in this episode (even if you're like Sarah, who usually refuses to have her tears jerked).

There were many touching scenes -- we met Q's adorable little brother, who bonded with Jamie. Haley struggled to explain death to Jamie and her students, but ultimately, she found a way to help them convey their grief. Deb comforted Skills (and therefore outed their relationship to Nathan and the gang). Nathan comforted Brooke in a scene that has everyone talking. We loved seeing Nathan and Haley reach out to Brooke, but why isn't Peyton figuring out that something is seriously wrong with her friend? Oh, and we're wishing the Nanny Carrie/Dan stuff could have waited for another week -- it just didn't fit in with the melancholy tone of this episode. And we barely saw Lucas at all!

Was there a dry eye in the house after last night's tearjerker episode? Certainly not ours -- we were wrecks by the final scene. The aftermath of Q's murder stirred up all kinds of emotions for the One Tree Hill gang -- Jamie encountered death for the first time, Nathan and Lucas broke the news to the basketball team, Haley tried to explain the shocking death to Q's classmates, and Brooke coped with another tragedy on top of everything else she's been dealing with.

What's up with Haley: She's trying to cope with her own grief while breaking the bad news about Q to Jamie and to her class. It's hard to break the news to Jamie -- she wants to be honest, but she doesn't want to crush him.

At first, she tells the class there's no point to any of this, but after thinking about it, she realizes she just doesn't know. She challenges the students to use literature and writing to help them get through this tough time, and it seems to really resonate with them. Haley also has a new student, Sam, who happens to be the same girl who tried to shoplift from Brooke in the premiere. Haley calls her out on her Clothes Over Bros attire.

What's up with Brooke: Peyton comes to Brooke's store and sees Brooke throwing her clothes out on the street. Brooke lashes out at Peyton and demands her house key back -- she wants to feel safe in her house. And why is Peyton at the store, anyway? Peyton tells Brooke the bad news about Quentin, gives her the key, and leaves.

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.

Leyton and the Scott family gave us some cute and happy moments last night, but most of this week's One Tree Hill episode continued the dark turn we saw starting last week -- a painfully bruised Brooke was out for revenge and practicing her shooting skills, crazy nanny Carrie and Dan continued their sadistic standoff, and Q was murdered in the final seconds of the episode.

Let's start with the biggest surprise, Q's death. Did you see it coming? We started thinking something bad might happen to the guy when his entire storyline last night was all about how perfect things were going. He was finally getting good grades! He had Jamie rapping and making him a cape! And he had played his part in getting Nathan back to basketball. We were sad to see him go -- we liked the new Q of Season Six. And this is the second episode in a row to end with violence. We want a cute Jamie closer next week, please! No more blood!

One Tree Hill returned with lots of Leyton, a shocking attack on Brooke, the return of psycho nanny Carrie, and plenty of Scott family adorableness.

Sarah, Mia and I have differing opinions on the One Tree Hill premiere. We found Leyton a little too sappy, but we're looking forward to see what's next for them. We're excited about the return of evil Victoria -- we think she and Dan should team up to form the ultimate evil couple. But Dan's in no shape to pursue a partner in crime... he's the victim of one now that he's held captive by crazy Carrie, who finds great pleasure in torturing him. We want more Nathan and Haley, but we're worried about Nathan covering up his back pain. And we have mixed feelings on Mouth and Millicent's departure (you know Sarah's loving it, though!).

What a premiere! We loved some parts, but others were really difficult to watch. There was romance with Lucas and Peyton, adorable family dynamics with Nathan, Haley and Jamie, relationships moving forward with Mouth/Millicent and Deb/Skills... and two seriously disturbing plotlines involving Dan and Brooke that still have us feeling uneasy.

Pleasant storylines first. We found out the answer to one of OTH's biggest cliffhangers! Lucas called Peyton and proposed -- were you surprised? One Tree Hill tried to fool us by opening the episode with an extended dream sequence where we got to see Lucas imagining married life one year in with each of the three ladies. But it was Peyton who showed up at the airport, thrilled that her moment with Lucas had finally arrived.

Lucas and Peyton headed for Vegas wrapped in each other's arms. But not everyone was having as happy a time back in Tree Hill. Let's recap:

Evil Victoria has returned to make Brooke's life miserable. She informs Brooke that she owns part of the company, and if she wants to, she can take over the whole thing and leave Brooke with nothing. Stunned, Brooke tries to defend herself, but Victoria, as usual, has the last word, telling poor Brooke that she'll be lucky if she can even get into the community college. Could she be any meaner to her daughter?

Later, at the store, Brooke vents to Millicent and catches a girl shoplifting one of her tops. Brooke grabs the girl: "Come with me" -- but the girl ends up shoving her aside and running out. It's just not Brooke's day.
