    Season 1, Episode 19. hide show

    Lucas finds out that Brooke is with child and must make a decision regarding the pregnancy. Brooke gives Lucas the cold shoulder regarding the situation. Meanwhile, Haley considers giving her virginity to Nathan. Wow, the pregnancy drama was EXCELLENT. Karen turns down Keith's proposal! :( The pregnancy test was positive! Nathan sees Haley's tattoo! I hate Lucas! His little accusation toward Nathan was unbelievable, but understandable. "Yeah, that's my life. Notice who's not in it?" Haha, Jake will never let that go. "Since you got my jersey number tattooed on your ass." LMAO! "Maybe you can pull a Dan Scott and knock two girls up at once." LMAO. Good episode!

    I thought it was great! hide show

    Brooke and Lucas are very scared about the pregnancy. Lucas tells Karen and Dan finds out. Karen says no to Keith about the proposal. Keith leaves Tree Hill. Nicki threatens Peyton to stay away from Jake. Haley considers having sex with Nathan, but ultimately decides to wait. Nathan finds out about her tattoo. Deb tells Nathan more about why she cheated on Dan. Lucas learns that Dan wanted to have him aborted. Brooke confesses that she was lying. At first, she thought she was, but when she found out she wasn't, she didn't tell Lucas.

    This was a great episode! I felt really sad when Karen slapped Lucas and the rest of that scene! I also feel sorry for Keith. I'm glad Haley decided not to have sex and I'm glad that Nathan doesn't want to pressure her into to it. I really want Peyton and Jake to get together, but Nicki complicates it. This episode gets a 9.5 out of 10!

    Brooke thinks she is pregant. She takes a test and it is posotive. She goes to the doctor who tells her she is not pregant but she tells Luke that she is and later she tells him that she lied and she is not pregnant. She succeeds in her goal to hurt him. hide show

    That is the best episode of the whole series. To see them go through something like that together was awsome. Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray both pulled that off amazingly. Lucas was so cute when he told Brooke that he would be there for her and the baby! I wish she would have really been pregnant because then Brooke and Lucas would probably be togehter know and their baby would have been SOOOOOOO cute. It was sad to see them both so torn up about it. Their fight in the middle of the episode was sad too.It was my favorite episode

    a fantastic episode. hide show

    I really liked this one. It was really great. Brooke tells Lucas that she thinks that she is pregnant, and they are both scared. She takes a pregnancy test and it's positive but then she calls the doctor, and they say she's not pregnant. She lies to Lucas and tells him that the baby is his. You find out at the end that Brooke lied to Lucas, and that the doctor said that she's not pregnant. Keith proposes to Karen, but she says no. Keith decides that he's going to leave town because what Karen said made him decide that Tree Hill didn't really feel like home now.
    Nikki, Jake's ex thinks that there's something going on with Jake and Peyton. Peyton continues to babysit Jenny.
    Haley thinks about having sex with Nathan a little bit. She decides not to. Nathan sees Haley's tattoo of his jersey number, 23, on her lowerback. He gets freaked out. Near the end, he tells her that he doesn't want to pressure her, and that he doesn't want to drive her away. He tells her that he loves her, and even though it scares him a little bit, he does. Haley is surprised, and she's like wow. They kiss, and she tells him that she loves him too.
    I thought that the Nathan & Haley parts were really cute. I personally love them together as a couple.

    Very Well Written hide show

    Last weeks episode left us all on a cliffhanger. Brooke's thinks she is pregnant. This is after the auction. When i first saw this i was freaking out. Are you serious was my reaction. We then see Brooke go into the clinic to find out for sure. The doctor calls later that day and is told by the doctor that she is. Or so we think. Turns out in fact she wasn't really. Lucas had just called Brooke a slut and he wasn't even sure if the baby was his. So she lied to him to punish him. It is revealed in the last episode that Haley got the #23 tatooed on her lower back. In this episode Nathan sees it and doesn't know how to take that. Why would she do something that permanent but won't even have sex with him. He finally tells her that he saw it. Amazing way of acting by all the actors in this episode. Loved it very much.
