“One Tree Hill” will never die … will it? (Part 3)
by haro1d
The plot thins on One Tree Hill. Last night’s episode was a bit of a filler (though for you Lucas/Peyton fans, they all feel that way now, right?), but it was filler with at least some purpose. It stood to reason that after Lucas and Peyton left the show, something dramatic would have to happen in the lives of Nathan, Haley and Jamie — it’s been way too happy in that household for way too long. Here’s the breakdown of events as they unfurled:
The opening montage: Haley is in the kitchen, looking at the photographic evidence — the ultrasound and the pics of Nathan at the party where he met the extortionist. We see Brooke running out of the house, telling Julian that she loves him. Over at Skills’ and Mouth’s pad, Skills gets out of bed, disrobes to get into the shower and, closing the bathroom door, screams at something Mouth obviously set up to freak him out.

Among the important life lessons she tries to condense into this crucial few minutes of parenting, she includes having the right playlist, leaving baby an iPod with 100 songs to live by — because everybody needs music to get through tough things like breakups and school and stuff. She gives words of advice on choosing a best friend, citing Brooke Davis as a role model, because she always puts her friends first. Nathan and Haley get the nod for being potential ersatz mom and dad, and then Peyton entreats baby to take care of Lucas, because he’s going to need him/her. Then Lucas walks in. And he’s mad — he doesn’t want to do anything like this just because things MIGHT go bad. Peyton counters that she wants to get married. Now. Again, Lucas executes the smackdown, saying that he doesn’t want to do anything “just in case.” 

imminent baby and its threat to Peyton’s life. He wakes up and Nathan is standing by his bedside with a basketball, inviting him to come outside and play at the river court with him and Jamie, since it’s a perfect morning.
