    As the end of the school year approaches, Peyton considers participating in a music internship in Los Angeles, while Brooke tries to reconnect with Chase through yearbook signatures, and Haley struggles to write her valedictorian speech. Dan suggests that Lucas get professional help when Karen worries about his obsession with theories about Keith's murder. Wow, this episode was good. I like how the end of high school is approaching for the characters. It just feels like it is the end of an era, and an important one at that. I can't believe how horrible Dan is! He is the worst father on the planet, without a doubt. But he is involved with good storylines, though. I liked Lucas going to the police, and the episode was just a great combination of great plots.

    Yearbooks! hide show

    The seniors get their yearbooks and prepare for the real world. Peyton has gotten an internship in LA for a music company. Brooke is going to LA too and she says they could spend time together. Principal Turner doesn't let Haley have a valedictorian speech because of what Nathan did. Duke takes away Nathan's scholarship. Haley goes to Whitey for help with Nathan. Brooke is nervous about what to write in Chase's yearbook. She pours her feelings into it, but Chase doesn't at all. Later, Chase explains why he didn't and he and Brooke kiss. Nathan gets Haley's speech back. Mouth notices that Jimmy isn't in the yearbook. Gigi helps him with that. She puts Jimmy in the yearbook that his mom ordered and Mouth gets people to sign it. Dan and Karen want to put Lucas with professional help after Lucas accuses and attacks Dan saying he murdered Keith. Lucas takes Deb's gun and loads it. He threatens Dan with it. Karen falls to the ground, so Dan tries to help her and Lucas shoots at Dan.

    This was a fantastic episode! I no longer like Dan now. I was really starting to like him, but now I don't anymore. I like what Mouth did for Jimmy! He's a great guy! Gigi was cool too! The ending was incredible! So suspensful and I can't wait to see what happens! This episode gets a 10 out of 10!

    Naley goodness.:] hide show

    Wow. The end of that was like crazy intense. Dan and Karen dead maybe dying, the babies coming. Lucas shooting at Dan, hitting maybe?

    How cute was Naley. I liked it when Nathan went and talked to Principal Turner, and then when he told Haley and was like I'll order something bad, and she started fliping out. The beginning scene of them was like a flashback to their season 1 tutoring. Did anybody else cry when Mouth gave Jimmy's yearbook to his Mom with all the signatures in it? Plus what does everyone think on the whole Peyton internship Lucas ordeal?

    Brooke is really funny too when she like poured herself into Chase's yearbook and he wrote like glad were friends, and then they got back together. :]

    Haley tries to write her valedictorian speech, mouth gets people to sign jimmy's yearbook, peyton decides to spend the summer in LA with Brooke. Lucas confronts Dan about Keith's murder.Brooke and Chase reconnect. hide show

    Great but sad episode. Approching the end of High school, the end of an era. It seems like Lucas is turning crazy when he pulls a gun out on Dan! Brooke and Chase are finally together and Chase tells us why he left clean teens! Luke signs Jimmy Edwards yearbook, probably because he knew that dan killed keith. There was a really sweet moment with mouth and Mrs. Edwards. Haley is getting bigger. Whitey has finally packed up his things and left, but people are still coming to his house for advice. Fab ending, leaves us all on a cliff-hanger!
