In the previous episode, the EVIL video surfaced at the Scott house (No, not the haunted video from The Ring silly) of Nathan and Brooke hooking up, which was a complete shocker to anyone who has been watching this show since Season One, proving that blondes, brunettes, and red heads are all equally loved and used by men, especially NATHAN SCOTT. Suddenly, we find that Peyton isn't as bad a person as we previous thought, since Brooke was just as bad a friend to her, which leads us to one frightening conclusion, friends in Tree Hill SUCK! Suddenly, Peyton gives Brooke the scariest stare I have ever seen come out of such a cute face, and punches Brooke right in the face causing everything to go pitch black to my amusement. I thought the cable was out at first, but then some commercials aired deepening my suspense of what was happening to the new traitor Brooke.
When we return we find ourselves in a flashback. These are quite commonplace in Tree Hill and usually reveal murders, wedding, and yes, you guessed it, sex. Here is somewhere we haven't been in a really long time…The Scott House. Peyton has her emo curly blonde hair look, Nathan is a stupid jock and jerk, and Brooke is a drunken cheerleading slut. (Insert Stephen Colletti yelling in Cabo, Mexico HERE)Lucas and Haley are probably happily playing miniature golf on top of Karen's Café, still outcasts of the grand social scene, and still aware of the drama that will disrupt their happy friendship in the near future. Meanwhile, Nathan is flirting with…BEVIN!! Wait, I thought he was going after Brooke in this episode? Anyway, Peyton dumps him for the millionth time, the girl obviously does not know when "Enough is Enough", and she should really pay a visit to the The Hills for more on that. After Peyton dumps our favorite jerk Nathan, he winds up sitting on a couch next to none other than Brooke Davis, Tree Hill High class president. They both are lounging on the couch, and as he tells her that he has been dumped by Peyton, Brooke has the brightest idea to hook up with Nathan now that he is single. (Insert Stephen Colletti yelling in Cabo, Mexico HERE)
"I'm sexy, you're sexy, let's be sexy together."
In a previous episode of One Tree Hill in Season One, a drunken Brooke also had this idea with Lucas and Jake at the same time in her honestly horny state, all the more reason to question the judgment of Brooke Davis, your Tree Hill High class president. Moments later Brooke is upstairs with Nathan and they begin to make out like most high school students do at these parties, or as I like to call them pre-sleepovers, until Nathan jumps up and decides he wants to TAPE this grand occasion (How smart!) he is spending with Brooke Davis, your Tree Hill High class president. Brooke tells him he has to promise to erase it later and the rest is history. Why would Brooke trust a jerk like Nathan? Did it have anything to do with the fact that her brain was filled with alcohol or was that even truly a factor? Could her mind really just be empty all on its own? Why did she never check back to make sure the video was erased? We may NEVER know. I kid, I kid, this is not MTV, after all, and they do not edit out all the important stuff from the viewers.
Snoop Dawg may want to get in on this WILD video.
We find ourselves in the morning after the over-dramatic state championship party (If someone from Laguna Beach had been there I would have expected them to yell "SO MUCH DRAMA" with their mouth wide open), and Brooke has a lovely new scar on her face that she will gladly shine in her new prom pictures. Rachel pokes fun at her questioning the size of Lucas's genitals compared to those of Nathan (She probably still has a thing for the man she tried to unwed), and dare I say it, Lucas shows up at Rachel's place to check on Brooke after not bothering to visit her for the whole season, or second half of senior year as I like to say. So RANDOM!! When he enters Rachel says, "Didn't you see enough of her last night? Or are you here for the deleted scenes?" to which Lucas replies "No, I wanted the exclusive commentary with a costume gallery to fulfill my fantasies!" So maybe that didn't happen, and instead, Lucas merely just lingered around Brook's house for a few minutes of boring questions and moved onward.
Back at the Scott House we find Nathan lying on the floor in a perfect position, as if Peyton, your Tree Hill artist, was painting him, and then the pregnant giant Haley enters the room, as the ground shakes, to disturb this perfect pose and bark about the tape some more. She questions Nathan's morality and Nathan says he simply did not think the past should have been discussed anymore. SILLY Nathan, you don't think that anymore, now do you!! Now Nathan will spend hours upon hours telling Haley about every moment from the moment he had his first breath, to the point where he got his nipple pierced (that still gives me the creeps), and then he will continue to when he lost his virginity to Haley's hot sister. There will books written, tapes made (oh no), and a television show based on it!
Deb Scott arrives back at her trashed home and Nathan manages to easily convince her that the mess surrounding her house was all her fault, and she immediately accepts it, while she stares at the mess of booze lying around the house. Way to be nice to your mother that has just come home from rehabilitation Nathan! I previously thought that Deb was addicted to pills, not alcohol, but I may have been wrong on that fact. Feel free to comment on that.
"Just clean it up Mom..."
Lucas arrives at Peyton's house, which is still curiously always unlocked, the girl wonders why people stalk her and break into her home. She coldly pushes Lucas away when the not-so-smart author gives away the fact that he visited Brooke on his way to the Sawyer house. He claims he will return for his wonderful love later that night no matter what, how sweet…
Meanwhile, Nathan and Brooke rendezvous and conclude that their hookup was NOT A DREAM. I find it disturbing that Brooke is such a big liar that she has to convince herself that things that happen are "dreams". I wonder what else she thinks of as "dreams". Mouth keeps giving his former clean teen girlfriend booty calls, which obviously is not going to work. Mouth is always left alone in the Tree Hill storyline, poor guy.
"I'm too important to be just a dream."
Brooke and Peyton clash verbally at Prom preparation, which is odd because you would figure they would just avoid each other in all the awkwardness in real life high school. Mouth tries to talk to Brooke, but finds her in a bitter state of mind and leaves her alone in her Tree Hill High class president misery. Chase dumps Brooke for doing the same thing to Peyton that was done to Chase in previous years, and never telling Chase about it. So much for Brooke's love life, the girl is a new Peyton from last season when it comes to boys.
Haley and Nathan are once again at the Scott House. I assume this a Saturday since I have not seen any school scenes yet. She is on a video destruction rampage, tearing every VHS she can see in her vision with her monstrous stomach. Haley demands a list of every girl Nathan has slept with, and the first thing Nathan does is visit Dan for advice, and oddly enough does exactly the opposite to my humor, as we watch Haley completely fall apart and claim she does not know how she can compete with the other girls when he decides to make the list. SILLY Nathan, father always knows best. This brings back the porn episode where Nathan had to convince Haley of his endless love to her with a simple kiss. Maybe he should just randomly kiss Haley when she walks down the hallway in the Scott house, and suddenly all their problems will be solved magically!!
"Videos make me so ANGRY!!! Must destroy..."
"Then again...videos make me SAD..."
"I surely didn't marry you for your brain."
"DIE!!!!!!" yells the MONSTROUS Haley.
Karen and Dan plan their second prom night together, and Lucas does not take to long to give up his opposition to it. Bloody Keith frowns from the heavens at this sight. I do as well. Karen and Dan, or Daren as I like to call them, is one of the worst concepts I have ever seen on television. The creators taunt me with this cursed new "love", though the characters still deny how they obviously feel.
We later find Rachel packing to leave town to visit her parents and Mouth visits her. They talk for a little while, and Mouth just can't get over the fact that he just wanted a last dance with her. It's called a boom box Mouth, people dance in rooms just like they do at formals! He asks Rachel why she isn't saying goodbye to people, and Rachel goes through a list of all the people she has wronged, far passing the Christmas lists sent to Santa Claus every year at the North Pole.
Over at the Sawyer house we find Peyton on the computer as usual when an egg hits her window, being delivered personally by none other than the Tree Hill High class president Brooke Davis in her mourning of the loss of the "perfect" dress and boyfriend. Questioning her judgment yet? The girls duel it out physically on the grass until Peyton finally decides that she is the better one of the two, and that Brooke has officially died in the world of Peyton. Cause of death: Dishonesty.
Nathan gives Haley a list of all the girls he has ever fallen in love with, which is of course only Haley. Peyton was just lust, that's all. Rachel packs some more and Brooke says good bye to her as Rachel makes Brooke promise to try and fix things with Peyton, finally being the good girl before she leaves. They verbally abuse themselves some before Rachel takes off.
Peyton then decides she wants to be a bad girl, but her desires are squashed when Nathan comes by to apologize and remind her that she isn't bad and that she is the one who cares and always will. Take that Peyton! Apparently, he knows her better than she knows herself. Looks like Peyton needs to take a personality test or something.
Nathan thinks, "Maybe I can still get out of here before she notices me."
Mouth and Brooke end up going to Prom together after her dress is returned to her door step, but is ecstatic with joy when she learns that her dress has been painted by Peyton to say WHORE on it. Still questioning your Tree Hill class president's judgment? Over at the Scott House everything is fixed and Nayley has been restored to their usual kissing state, the first truly happy moment this whole episode. I thought I was going to literally drown in all the depression until this occurred.
Kisses fix EVERYTHING!
When Garbage and Fergie arrive at the Prom they try to separate to avoid people from thinking they are homosexuals going together. Fergie informs Garbage that he could never get with "Fergielicious" much to my amusement since they have no resemblance whatsoever. Rachel receives a text of Brooke and Mouth happy at Prom, and Lucas is driving somewhere unknown (I assume the Sawyer house). Peyton is shown finally in her dress ready to go to prom, and she gets the door to find no other than the STALKER DERRICK at her door and before she can even try to get away, she gets punched in the face by him and everything goes black. Karma I tell you, Karma!
So what were your thoughts? What do you think will happen to Peyton? Will Lucas save her once again Clark Kent style? Will Brooke ever find love? Who will be Prom Queen and King? Discuss. Discuss.
