    Apparently, Mouth is in jail. So Lucas, Skillz, Nathan, Haley, Brooke, and Peyton make a roadtrip to rescue him. Then they crash another high school's prom, because theirs sucked. hide show

    Great episode. Lucas is every girl's favorite teddy bear, as the story begins with Skillz opening the door and seeing Brooke and Peyton in bed with Lucas. which is weird. I know Peyton used him as her teddy bear before declaring her feelings for him, but why didn't Brooke and Peyton just stay at Rachel's. Anyway, I liked this episode. it was funny, seeing Mouth in jail, and bonding with the guys in his cell. Great seeing Chris Keller again, he's a funny jackass. Karen and Dan's relationship progressing more, but I wonder how Karen can forgive him? Of course the viewer knows stuff about Dan that other characters don't realize.

    Season 4, Episode 17. hide show

    I really enjoyed this episode. Mouth's text was unbelievable. "Need ass." Instead of writing "assistance," he writes ass, and everyone gets confused. Haha, Brooke said the best thing.

    BROOKE: If he left with Rachel, why would he need ass?

    LMAO! Skillz told Brooke that it was her turn to drive so he could sleep! LMAO!!!! Mouth tells all his cell-mates about Shelly. They wanted to see a sandwich shaped like Elvis. Chris Keller is back! Only for the episode, though. But still, cool! Haley: I'm pregnant!
    Chris: Dude, it's not mine, I swear!

    LMAO!!! Nobody paid attention to Chris Keller when he was leaving! Dan and Lucas finally realize who was in the hallway during the shooting.

    Fun episode! hide show

    When Skills gets a message from Mouth, the gang heads off to Honey Grove, Texas. Mouth is in jail, but he gets along with the guys in there. When the car breaks down, the gang is meeted by Chris Keller. He gives them a ride on his tour bus. When they get to Honey Grove, they bail Mouth out. They also see that the high school prom is that night, so they decide to crash it. It's a fun time, but Haley learns that Brooke stole the exam, not Rachel. Peyton and Lucas decide to have sex for the first time. Peyton and Brooke decide to move in together after Haley offers them the apartment. Karen and Dan spend time together. Lucas goes to Abby's house. Dan's there too as he got the name for whoever was sending him text messages. Nathan tells Lucas that there is an investigation on point shaving that happened with Daunte.

    This episode was great! Mouth and jail were so funny! Chris Keller is now a bittersweet character for me. I think that Lucas and Peyton should've waited until marriage, just like anyone should. It was a fun episode and I give it a 10!

    Mouth seems to be in trouble and his friends come to his rescue.. They seize the opportunity they are given to drive to Honey Grove in Texas and find out what happened with Mouth and asked for their help.. hide show

    It was one more great episode.. I liked the scene where it was Skills' turn to drive and after a while he told Brooke that it was her turn.. I also liked the fact that Chris Keller was in the episode.. The whole thing with Mouth and how he got there, arrested and then saved by his friends was a bit confusing.. As far as the messages on the board of the town about Mouth are concerned, they were weird, too.. Brooke told Haley the truth about the calculus exam and Haley got pretty mad, but in the end she forgave Brooke.. Brooke and Peyton Move in the appartment together..

    Hilarious. hide show

    I really liked this episode, It was funny and dramatic at the same time. Oh and the Chris Keller return was amazing. Breyton was great, and Naley too. I loved the text message Mouth sent.

    Honey Grove.

    Need A$$.

    I have to say though for all the build up the Leyton sex was not all that great and amazing. There wasn't much build up and the scene only lasted like 30 seconds.

    Plus Haley prom outfit and the one she wore on the way there were both really cute. And Chris talking to Haley about how she's gotten a 'little plump' was really great.
