Carrie: I need to get my stuff...
Haley: It's in the garage. Boxes are marked whore. I'll have the keys now.
Carrie: I'm sorry Haley, I never meant for it to turn out this way...
Haley: Did you go by Jamie's school today?
Carrie: Jamie looks at me as family, I was just saying goodbye.
Haley: No, you are not family. I invited you in to this home, and I trusted you with the two most important things in my life, my husband and my son, and you betrayed that trust.
Carrie: I know you're upset... Just know that I never meant for Nathan to fall in love with me.
Haley: Oh honey, he's not in love with you I can promise you that!
Carrie: ...Did he tell you he kissed me? Hm? He didn't tell you did he? God, that is so Nathan... Well, he did kiss me. And he watched me swim naked, and he liked it. You see, he wanted me in that shower. I'm sorry that it's hard for you to face, but it's the truth!
Haley: I told you once, and I am not telling you again. Stay the hell away from my family! (edit)

Jamie: But I want you to stay.
Carrie: So do I... But your mom's the boss, and what she says goes... (Jamie looks down sad) I wish you were my little boy. I always will. Goodbye Jamie. (edit)

Trivia

The postcard that Karen sends to Lucas says:

"Lily wants to know if you need a flower girl? So happy for you. Love, Mom" (edit)
Karen and Lily are now in Venice, Italy. (edit)
When Brooke first approaches Owen, she's wearing a LOVE sweater. This is a sweater from the not-for-profit organization called To Write Love on Her Arms. Their mission is to bring hope to suicidal teens and young adults. (edit)
In previous episodes, Dan's middle name has been credited as Robert, however in this episode when Lucas is reading a letter from the parole board Dan's full name reads Daniel L. Scott. (edit)
When Lucas is checkin Quentin's hand, you can see a tattoo on his right wrist, the word 'R E L A X'.

If you think about it, when Lucas is stressed, or anyone for that matter, they rub their hands through their hair, with their wrists going in front of their eyes.

So when he is stressed, he sees RELAX. (edit)
