One Tree Hill Season 1 Episode 8

The Search For Something More

Original Air Date: 11/11/2003
Director: John T. Kretchmer
Writer: Mark Schwahn

Brooke wakes up in Peyton's bed and Peyton points out that it's the second weekend in a row where Brooke can't remember what happened the night before.  Not good.  Brooke seems to realize that it's a problem and says she wants to change her karma.  Not sure what that means, but it's a start.  Then, they go shopping.  Brooke tells Peyton about a big college party at Duke and they talk about how Brooke is going to have fun with boys without alcohol.  Again, it's a start.  Peyton talks about wanting to have fun, which is dumb because one episode ago, she was all about Lucas, could have had him, but turned him down. 

Nathan again tries to apologize to Haley and tells her he didn't even know about the note, but Haley is still against him.  Later on, Brooke goes to Nathan to apologize for messing up his relationship.  She decides to plan a date for them and is somehow going to make Haley go.
Karen gets accepted to cooking school in Italy and agrees to go on a date with Keith.  Brooke shows up at the diner to convince Haley to go on a date with Lucas.  During this time, Lucas gives his mom, Karen, a pep talk, encouraging her to go to the cooking school since it's always been her dream.
At the big college party, Brooke quickly finds a boy to flirt with and Peyton wanders off into some guys dorm room.  The guy, Gabe, plays a bunch of music for her and she acts all impressed because his music is on vinyl.  She flirts with him a lot and he pushes her to have a drink.  Then he TOTALLY puts some kind of pill in her drink, probably a date rape drug.  Gosh, why is she drinking with some gross random guy?!  This girl clearly knows very little about personal safety!

Brooke is busy making out with another random guy while her friend is about to get raped!  She finds out her guy is still in high school and flips out.  Lucky for Peyton though because now Brooke starts looking for her.  Lucky also, Brooke finds her and saves her!
I think Brooke just earned some karma points!

While Lucas is playing basketball at the River Court with his old buddies, Brooke calls him and tells him what happened.  He tells her, rightly, to call the campus police, but she can't because Peyton was drinking despite being underage.  Some med student college girl shows up and helps with Peyton.  The girl tells them it would be better to know what Gabe gave Peyton.  She stays with her while Brooke takes Lucas to Gabe's dorm room.  Lucas plays the tough guy and beats up Gabe and takes all his other Roofies!  Yes!

During all of this, Nathan and Haley are out on their date that Brooke planned for them.  Brooke has them go to a lingerie store and pick stuff out for each other.  Haley picks out socks for Nathan- LOL!  Nathan picks out a cute camisole for Haley.  Go Nathan!  I totally was expecting him to get her something skanky.  Then they go to dinner. 

Brooke and Lucas take Peyton home and hang out to watch her and make sure she's okay.  I expected Brooke to view it as a bonding session and be a little flirty, but I was not expecting Lucas to flirt too.  I mean, it's nothing overt, but it's there.  Really, I'm not sure why they need to watch her so closely while she sleeps.  It's kind of creepy really and they shouldn't be talking right next to her.  She's trying to sleep after all. 

When Peyton wakes up, Lucas and Brooke go get her car from the college parking lot.  Peyton apologizes for 'all sorts of things' and it seems like she's telling Lucas she's sorry, but not interested.  So, Lucas moves on to Brooke. 

While Nathan and Haley have dinner, his friends from the team come up and tease him about being on a date.  Nathan explicitly says that it is not a date and Haley is, naturally, pissed off!  She calls him out for only being nice to her when they're alone and when you think about it, it's true.  They do always only hang out alone.   

Karen and Keith flirt at the cafe while Deb tells Dan to give Haley a chance.  Apparently, Dan thinks Haley is beneath Nathan.  Really?  How is she beneath him?  Later on, Deb shows up at the cafe and offers to run the cafe for Karen while she's away at cooking school.  Dan is pretty upset by this and quite frankly, she should've talked with him about before she offered.  They are a married couple after all.

Nathan shows up the next morning at Haley's house and apologizes.  They kiss and it's finally official!  Naley Day 1!!!!...That's Haley combined with Nathan by the way- Naley lol.  So cute!
Karen leaves for Italy and at the airport, she kisses Keith!

One Tree Hill Season 1 Episode 7

Life In A Glass House

Original Air Date: 11/4/2003
Director: Robert Duncan McNeill
Writers: Mark Schwahn and Mike Kelley

     Brooke informs Peyton her curtesy hold on Lucas is expired and Peyton tells Lucas, in vague terms, that she likes him.  Brooke then decides to pull a little manipulation and tells Nathan that Peyton might be interested in getting back together with him.  This, of course, is a lie.  Brooke just wants to clear her path to Lucas and she knows that Peyton is in her way, even if Peyton won't admit it.  This is low for Brooke, but in her defense, Peyton is being so vague about her feelings for Lucas!
     Keith and Karen talk about the other night at the fancy dinner party.  When Keith says that some pretty crazy things were said (referring to his telling her he loved her), Karen just tells him nothing 'crazy' was said.  It's like she's telling him it's okay that he loves her and I wonder if she's not hinting that she loves him too.
When Brooke and Peyton are getting ready for Dan Scott's big party for the team, they talk about Nathan.  Peyton makes it clear that she's over Nathan but she doesn't make her feelings for Lucas clear at all.  Haley however finally comes clean about her feelings for Nathan.  She tells Lucas she likes him and Lucas, while not happy about it, isn't super upset. 

     Deb tells Dan she personally invited Karen and Keith to the team party.  Dan is upset but Deb lets him know that he better be nice.  I can already tell he won't be.
Brooke puts the moves on Lucas and tells him that Peyton is getting back with Nathan.  At the same time, Nathan and Peyton talk.  It's not clear whether or not Nathan wants to get back together with Peyton.  I think he was about to say he was into Haley before Brooke walked in.  At least, that's what I hope he was going to say. 
                    Brooke goes into Nathans drawers to find vodka and comes across a little kit Haley gave to Nathan to help him study.  In it, there is a sweet note with encouraging words. 
     As all the kids are outside, Brooke comes out and starts a game of truth or dare.  She dares Peyton to 'show us how she really feels' and to kiss Lucas.  So, she does but then storms out for some reason.  Lucas follows her.  As they start to kiss again, Haley shows up.  The caterers Deb hired made a mistake with the desserts so Karen has Haley bring some cakes.  After she gives them to Deb, Karen tells her she's off the clock and that she should go hang out with her friends.  Ironically, Nathan specifically didn't invite her saying it was more of team thing.  Nathan and Haley start to hang out, but Brooke shows up and tells her that Nathan passed around her note from the study kit.  Brooke is pretty awful for making this up and making so much fun of her because Nathan didn't actually show anyone the study kit at all. 
     Deb and Karen have a heart to heart about Dan.  Deb seems like she's being really honest and kind.  She's growing on me a lot.

     Meanwhile, Lucas and Peyton go to a bedroom to make out.  Lucas makes a wildly romantic speech about 'wanting everything' with her and being in her heart.  Peyton freaks out saying 'this isn't supposed to be that' and storms off.  Why did Peyton freak out?  Why?  She says she likes him, but all she wants is a random hookup?  Really?

   Dan tries to give Lucas some advice, but Lucas tells him off and leaves the party.  Brooke makes one more feeble attempt to get with Lucas but is turned down.  She then hits on the next guy she sees, Jake.  He also turns her down.  Nice!  The guys are being totally cool, but I feel like in real life if some drunk chick was hitting on anything that moved, most guys would take her up on the offer. 
    When Lucas gets back to the diner, he finds Haley crying over Nathan.  Lucas is such a good friend that he doesn't tell her 'I told you so' or anything like that.  He just comforts her. 

     Nathan realizes what happened and tries to go apologize to Haley, but she's not having any of it. 
Jake's secret reason for being late all the time is finally revealed.  He has a little baby!  Cute, but sad.  Brooke passes out in Nathan's room n the floor- real classy!  And Peyton draws sad pictures while Lucas watches her on her webcam.  Weirdos.

Deb   "She's young enough to be your daughter, and in this town, she might just be."

Haley   "Once again, the smart girl is really stupid."

Season 1 Episode 6

Every Night Is Another Story

Original Air Date: 10/28/2003
Director: Jason Moore
Writers: Mark Schwahn and Mike Kelley

This episode starts out kind of weird, but it all becomes clear after awhile...a long while. 
So Deb and Dan are going downtown for a fancy dinner and they're going to enjoy a romantic night away.  The second Dan complains about the dinner being on a game night, I knew problems would arise.  When Deb talks about how he should just forget about basketball for one night, I already knew
that it would be the cause of a fight later on.  Oh and guess what?  Karen is going to the same dinner!  With Keith as her date!  Oh wait, Karen says it is definitely not a date.  Nevermind. 
So the basketball team is heading out to an away game!  The number of Nathan's jersey is painted on a rock outside Tree Hill High, showing how important he is.  Once they arrive at the other school, Brooke tells Peyton she will give her a one week hold on Lucas.  LOL!  Brooke is telling Peyton she's into Lucas, but Peyton isn't saying anything!  Peyton should be normal and tell Brooke she's into Lucas.
During the game, Nathan and Lucas exchange words.  Nathan makes a crack about hooking up with Haley and Lucas continues until Nathan straight up throws the ball at Lucas.  Hah!  So they both get thrown out of the game.  Whitey decides to handle this by making Nathan and Lucas walk home, about 30 miles, together.  Unrealistic, but funny! 

During Nathan and Lucas's little fight, Brooke was injured.  As a sports med guy is wrapping her ankle, Brooke totally convinces him to give her a few pain pills!  She asks for an extra for later then pops them all at once!  Hah! She's hilarious!  One of my favorites now!  So Brooke, all messed up, invites Haley to drive back with she and Peyton since Haley missed the last bus.  In the meantime, Nathan and Lucas are
kidnapped by their rival team the Pickeringtons, who force them to do silly things. 
Peyton, Haley and Brooke, in Brooke's car, talk until the car runs out of gas!  In the middle of nowhere on a dark night...not a good sign.  Haley and Peyton start walking to get more gas and leave Brooke locked in her own car.  I don't think this was a good idea.  I mean, Brooke is all messed up on pills and they just leave her?!  Really?  But, it's TV so it's okay.  By the time they get back, she's safely passed out in the backseat.  While they are looking for gas, the gas station is closed.  So Haley siphons gas out of a parked vehicle with her mouth.  This is so gross and dangerous!  Ew.  The worst part is that Haley even says 'We are
about to find out' if it even works.  She's never even done it before!  Let me just say, this is NOT as easy as they make it look. 
The Pickeringtons try to make Lucas and Nathan play a game called Gladiators where they beat each other up and the winner gets a ride home.  This is kind of weird in my opinion.  But Nathan is clever and gets
their keys!  The boys talk and bond.
The adults' fancy downtown dinner isn't going so smoothly.  Dan continuously gives Keith a hard time.  Keith gets a few jabs in, but nothing great.  This all eventually leads to Keith punching Dan.  I would've liked to have seen a prolonged fight between them, but Karen gets Keith away.  Keith at least has the excuse that he was slightly buzzed.  Dan was sober. 
Later a very drunk Keith tells Karen he loves her and always has.  Karen does not respond.
Oddly enough, the girls start driving again and run into Lucas and Nathan.  They give them a ride back.  Haley and Peyton do not become friends, but who really expected them to be best buds after one night?

Quotes

Lucas  "As happens sometimes a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment.  And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.  And then the moment was gone."
