Major Drama

So, I just finally got caught up late last night on all the drama of Tree Hill!
And oh my is it juicy or what?

"Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly"
There's not much to say besides that it was a episode that pulled more on our hearts strings through the reminiscing about Quentin and the viewers meeting his sadden family. Along with token five year old learning about death and grief. If you can't tell I'm still a bit bitter about what happened to Q. So unfair is the Tree Hill world....

"Bridge Over Trouble Water"
This episode was also dripping with sadness because, Q was in a way still being carried by those who lost him.
Also Peyton meets Mick, who obviously is her father, if you didnt figure it out by the time he started talking about her Bi0-Mom, Ellie, then sorry :(

"You've Dug Your Own Grave, Now Lie in it"
So, Nanny Carrie finally gets to execute her plan of kidding napping Jaimie. This epi could be described as a thriller, especially when Haley find Dan tied to a bed and becomes helpless in the hands of Carrie. Though I was disgusted by the decision of Dan to end her life, at least we know that she won't be returning.

But does anyone else find it crazy absurd that Jaimie is experiencing all these crazy happenings at the age of five?

Also in this episode Lucas is confronted with a major decision Book Tour date or Wedding?
But what makes this decision a true One Tree Hill Moment, would have to be the fact that his ex-fiance who left him at the alter and "truly" believes in him is the one he has to tell this to. And I thought that it was handled in as mature as a fashion as Tree Hill could offer. It definitely was awkward, could you imagine hearing that from someone--It was definetly evident that moment that she left him at the alter that he would end up with Peyton...but he also was engaed previously to his editor a mere six months earlier, if even.

Finally I have to say that Brooke was definitely ballsy yet desperate in that exchange with her mom. And definitely bordering on insanity for handing over her company to her mother! I was really upset by that but I understand how she could just do that, and I'm glad she finally got to discover the truth, although harsh. I'm truly excited to see where her journey will end up. (She has always been one of my favorites)

"Choosing My Own Way of Life"


Slamball anyone? In this episode we get a chance to revist an Old Hottie, Owen! And are introduced to new crazy sport that presents a true struggle for Nathan and Haley.
Why cause it's called Slamball and Nate doesn't have the best back. In the end he decides to play the game and brings back the fun element of basketball that all the viewers enjoyed previously.

Also a part of this hub-bub Brooke choses to become a foster parent, while she attempts to figure out where to go after loosing her company. And let's just say its no picnic :)
And Peyton, well she get's stood up by her dad. And find's out that her dad giving her up was the best thing her for life.

Lucas also makes his first stop on the book tour which brings him disappointments and an old friend, Mouth. After he is given the official news that the tour is a "no go" him and Mouth return to their favorite town and their girls...Being the true romantics they are

"Messin With the Kid"
Bullies are the greatest aren't they? After going through all that drama with Nanny Carrie, Jaimie starts getting picked on at school because of his infamous cape, so as a response Jaimie jumps on the kid and gets into his first fight. And this causes yet another cat-fight on the show between Haley and Nathan.
With Mouth's return he gets a great job and an intern, a returner Gigi, who seems bent on destroying his relationship with Miliscent
Also one of the best "fights" happen between Peyton and Lucas as they transition into living with one another. I recommend seeing this episode just for crazy factor and funny jokes. It involves: painter tape, b. davis magazine, and Karen's bedroom.

"Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe"
The main reason why Tree Hill is a fantasy world, is because no matter how much the characters fail, another opportunity comes along and usually even better. So just after receiving the news that his new book doesn't have a chance. Lucas gets the offer to make his book, Ravens, into a movie! 
Also in this epi we get the return of Derek and not psycho-Derek, but the real thing, as Peyton takes time out to spend with her big 
bro and do some reminiscing. 
Another huge drama was Jamie and Samantha sneak out to a party and use Brooke's empty store for skater bash. Ending the evening destroying what was suppose to be Peyton's wedding dress.
On the "Browen" front, Owen gets Nathan to talk to Brooke for him and tags along for the ride. Brooke being the confident cool girl that she is, sees right through this "7th grade behavior" I totally love the independence that she exudes and its great to see her considering giving Owen a chance. Also I loved the hilarious exchange between Haley, Brooke and Millie in the store about Owen and his hotness. That's how you know your friends love you, they don't hold back their witty, embarassing remarks from you.
But the ultimate drama happened at the revealing that Julian, who is the producer and guy interested in optioning Luke's film, and Peyton had a past while she was in L.A.
This bit of information basically slapped me right in the face, because we were led to believe that last season Peyton broke his Lucas' heart and never forgave herself there after. We as the viewers were never led to believe that she had made an attempt at moving on. Why? Cause she was the girl who believed in Always and Forever, if anything she was seen as the one who never let go. I mean, COME ON! She flipping painted the River Court in the name of their insanely romantic journey.

I do have to say that I am truly intrigued to see where this leads and what possible problems will arise with the making of the movie and the struggles between Lucas and Julian. Especially when Lucas' finds out what happened between the two of them. But I will be highly upset if they end up breaking up over it! Because we have invested six years into watching their journey and it better end with a magically happy and beautious wedding.
