    Season 4, Episode 3. hide show

    Great episode! Peyton is starting a friendship with her brother, which I liked. Brooke getting her revenge was pretty great. She kissed Derek, thinking he was Peyton's date. When Peyton told her, she made an uncalled for remark that her mother slept around more than she did. I like the little Brooke/Peyton war. I like that Rachel is going after a married Nathan. There are such great storylines on this show. I'm glad I started watching. I can't wait to collect the DVDs, and watch the season 6 premiere (the final season) on September 1. Great episode of a great show. It all fits in perfectly.

    The Ravens come back! hide show

    Skills plays in his first game and he is really good. The Ravens win! Nathan is still shook up about the accident. Dan awards him a valor award. Rachel comes onto Nathan. Haley is jealous. Lucas realizes that he isn't the guy for Brooke. Peyton spends time with her half-brother, Derek. He seems cool. Mouth is tired of girls calling him a good friend. Rachel thinks that Brooke is pregnant. Derek is stalking Peyton, as we see tons of pictures of her in his room from before they met. Dan wants Young Keith to stop haunting him.

    This episode was great! The ending was creepy with Derek. Very weird. Skills seemed a little cocky after the game though. This episode gets a 9.5 out of 10!

    To bad for bad news hide show

    Very good episode with everything in it! I really like it ...What will happen with Brooke I'm so concern...i hoped the child would be Haley's but she is the "lucky one"! :(

    This new guy..at the beginning I thought he is so sweet but I was wrong! What is it with him? And the biggest question did Ellie knew about his "passion"? If yes why would she wanted for them to meet?!?!?

    I liked what Mouth sad: he wished everything remain like it was in the past, that's what I often think! Sometimes things were better in the past but I always forget that this present will be the past of tomorrow... important is the present!!! Live it!

    Pay more attention for those which are near me..."Just think you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it" (so true!!!)

    Peyton meets her brother Whilst Lucas gives up on his romance with Brooke. hide show

    So Peyton meets derek her brother who seems surprisingly clued up on her and how she would think.He seems ok and for once Peyton seems happy.Her interaction with Lucas is always good and she seems to know how to talk to people evident with Nathan.

    Rachel has gone back to Manipulative **** in my eyes firstly calling Hayley names then trying it on with Nathan.she won't suceed they have been through too much and yet she seems determined on trying.She is however quite intelligent working out Brooke is pregnant.

    Lucas gave up on him and Brooke after realising it wasn't going to happen, she's way to stubborn and he's tried to many times before.

    Love the Nathan and Hayley interaction as always their scenes always had a little calm to the episodes.

    Shock scenes at the end with Mouth accidentally discovering Brooke's pregnancy and a sight of Derek's bedroom.Scary.Thousands of pictures of Peyton and her obviously not realising gives him another.Was her Podcast an oppurtunity to let him stalk her or is he truly her brother.

    Skills play his first game, Peyton meets her brother. hide show

    I thought that this episode was really good. I liked that Peyton seems to have something good happening to her. Meeting her brother must make her happy a little. I was happy to see that Lucas is finally getting over Brooke. I really do not think that he should have spent so much time walloeing over her. I want to know why Racheal keeps going after Nathan. He is not Cooper and plus he has a wife that he loves a lot. I think that it is funny that Reachal is saying that Brooke is pregnant evan though she has not said she is or is not.
