We understand that Haley has a thing for lost causes, but we were shocked when she convinced Nathan to take Quentin under his wing... and we were really blown away when Nathan asked Lucas to put him back on the b-ball team. The arrogant attitude is ridiculous and totally makes the kid undeserving of their kindness!
It’s a bit of a surprise that with all of her musical expertise, Peyton needed Haley to help her out when she and the band had artistic differences in the studio. It was more than shocking to see meek little Haley fire the band leader. With a “Later, bitches,” K-Fed (aka Jason) has left the building. But is he gone forever? We hope not -- he keeps things interesting.
So Brooke’s new Tree Hill store didn’t sell one high-dollar piece the entire opening night. In fact, the opening ranked as the biggest opening day deficit in the company’s history. But Victoria was way too happy to point it out. In fact, the woman was actually pleased seeing her kid fail for once. What kind of mom does that?
Was it our imagination or did we see a connection between Mouth and Brooke’s new assistant, Millicent? It was hilarious when Mouth stood up to his boss, Alice, in front of the entire crew and then she got totally turned on. But seriously, Mouth needs to dump the cougar and find himself a nice girl. This relationship isn't going anywhere good.
What we loved: We adored Nathan’s haircut. Welcome back, hottie!
We absolutely loved that Haley decided to get back into the music thing. Sure, she’s just producing, but leave it to Haley to find the real talent in the group. Turns out it’s Mia, the keyboard player of the band, who is the one in the group with the real magic. Now will Haley be able to be a mom, a wife, a teacher and a music producer?
We loved that Lindsey took off to NYC and gave Peyton and Lucas the thumbs up to go to Brooke’s opening together. Maybe that Lindsey is just a nice person. Lucas certainly seems to love her… most of the time.
What we didn’t love: How could Coach Lucas let “Q” talk to him like he did? We hated that Quentin really put Coach in his place, and Lucas just sat there and took it -- in his own office! Then Q told off Nathan and called him a “gimpy ass has-been.”
Speaking of just taking it -- what was up with Peyton allowing Victoria to tell her that she is a parasitic loser who couldn’t cut it in the real world? It seems like these characters are getting soft as they get older. And we love that Mouth is now being considered for an on-air position... but we hate that he’s compromising his integrity to do it. Can anyone say casting couch?
We can’t decide if we loved it or hated the fact that Peyton keeps swearing that “It’s not about Lucas.” She’s confused, but who can blame her when Lucas says things like “He’s not good enough for you” when Peyton contemplates going out with the bartender.
So what about you? Did you like the episode? Did K-Fed work for you? What do you think about the gang taking Q under their wing? Does the kid deserve it? Is Haley taking on too much and allowing the nanny the perfect opportunity to move in and take over her home and family? And is Lucas looking out for Peyton as a friend... or something more?
