Okay, why is Peyton running red lights and not driving when it's green?  That girl just loves calling attention to herself!  It's odd too because Peyton has never done anything like this before.  Why is she being so reckless all of a sudden? 

Lucas apologizes to Haley for freaking out on her.  Once they make up, Lucas tells her she can quit tutoring Nathan.  Not only does Haley refuse to quit, but she defends Nathan as well.  Weird.  It's so obviuous Haley is developing a little crush on Nathan, but she doesn't want to act on it because Nathan is a jerk.
Apparently, some news reporter wrote an article about Dan Scott and his TWO sons, Nathan and Lucas.  Hah!  Dan will be playing with Nathan at the Father-Son Basketball game.  The funny part is that Nathan and Dan are the people most upset by the article.  They should feel ashamed.  Seriously though, what school has father-son games?  None that I've ever heard of.

Peyton freaks out on Brooke about how cheerleading is shallow.  Peyton may be right, but she looks ridiculous!  She better apologize to Brooke.  Lucas asks his uncle, Keith, to play in the father-son game with him and Keith agrees.  Lucas then proclaims he wants to change his last name and the music in the background is so overly dramatic!  I laughed!  Karen points out to Lucas that Keith is a Scott too, so he should keep his last name.

Peyton goes to the cemetary to visit her mother's grave and Whitey joins her there.  They talk.  It's a little sappy and boring, but I guess it explains some of Peyton's moodiness.  Peyton's craziness is further displayed when Lucas hops in her car and she runs red lights while speeding.  Not cool or safe! 
Dan tries to threaten Keith to not play in the father-son game.  Dan clearly just doesn't want Lucas to play.  Keith tells him off though!

Lucas and Haley make up.  Haley tries to play it as if she is only tutoring Nathan for Lucas, but in reality she totally has a crush on him.  And Nathan kind of likes her too.  I think Lucas knows what's up though.
 
Deb and Dan discuss Nathan and basketball.  Deb wants Dan to ease up on Nathan and quit taking basketball so seriously.  Dan doesn't think he's doing anything wrong.  It's sad really.  It's difficult to think poorly of someone when that someone thinks they're fine.  It adds some depth to the villany of Dan Scott. 
So the Father-Son basketball game starts and, naturally, the kids are beating the dads fairly easily.  Dan Scott, however, becomes upset and starts calling Nathan out in front of the rest of the team.  Luckily Keith steps in and diffuses the situation.  Man!  Dan is one hot head!  He doesn't want to accept the fact he's old.  Plus, he doesn't want to accept the fact that Nathan is a better player than him.  Wow. 

During the game, Peyton continues driving around speeding, running red lights, and crying. 
Lucas confronts Haley about seeing her hug Nathan.  She tells him how she only hugged him because he got a good test score, but Lucas intuitively doesn't believe her.  It doesn't help that Haley is STILL wearing the bracelet Nathan gave her. 

Back in the heat of the game, Nathan runs up to make a shot and Dan blocks him in such a way as to knock Nathan over hard.  Nathan is, rightly, pissed off and Lucas just watches the exchange. 
After the game, Nathan tries to talk to Peyton.  He is STILL trying to get back together with Peyton, despite his somewhat flirty attitude with Haley.  Peyton, however, flat out rejects Nathan and hopefully he realizes it's over.

Quotes

Brooke: "Look, I'm sorry things didn't work out with you and Nathan, but don't go all Mariah on me, okay?"

Lucas: "John Steinbeck once wrote, 'It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world."
