Episode Summary

Peyton throws herself into preparing for the baby, but Lucas is too focused on casting the movie to offer much help. A hormonally charged Peyton enlists the help of others, but it's Lucas she really needs. Will he be there for in the end? Meanwhile, both Haley and Nathan find themselves caught in a moral dilemma... and doing the right thing could mean the end of a job. Will they risk everything? Also, Brooke comes face to face with someone from her past: herself.

    Peyton prepares for the wedding. Lucas is casting for the movie. Nathan is having moral conflict with his teammates. Brooke is conflicted having a relationship with Julian. Haley's job hangs by a thread for publishing Sam's essay. hide show

    Say...
    First they let Chad Michael write an episode, now Bethany Joy is directing. What's the difference between these two episode? well, as much as Chad's episode being soooooooooooo friki'n lame, this one turned out to be great. Real fun to watch. Something you can't and shan't miss a scene, Great job for Bethany Joy, if i may speak. This is definitely why i still watch One Tree Hill despite all the changes and maturity of the character. It can still make you smile. Great, really great. I'd say two thumbs up to Bethany Joy. And So the film begins.

    A great time! hide show

    OTH'season 6 is really getting better and better. It went a little downhill around the middle of the season IMO) but since before Christmas the show is definitely back on track and this episode is proff of it.

    It was fun (hilarious sometimes), full of characters from the past and reminescence of the early years through the casting. Well, I still don't click with the whole Peyton/Lucas thing and still find Peyton annoying but the rest of the episode was really awesome.

    James Van der Beek's character is great, Brooke still rocks and I love her chemistry and relationship with Julian. Jamie is still cute and Dan is on the verge of redemption. I don't want to slap him anymore!

    Hope we'll have plenty of other episodes like this by the end of the season and if, for whatever reason, OTH is not renewed we'll hyave nothing to be sorry for...

    the showing of a different type of "flashback" made it my favorite episode hide show

    this was like the best episode ever
    just selecting the best quotes and scenes in all those years they had in high school and putting it all together in one single episode
    the casting was really good and the last scene with Julian and Brooke was really well written.
    i also liked some of the scenes that brought up some chuckles.
    skills was in the episode for a few minutes, and mouth wasn't at it at all, but the episode was still really good. including the appearance of lucas's friends from the river court.
    i also loved the actress playing Brooke and the scene where Lucas and Peyton hear the baby's heart beat for the first time.
    this was definitely my favorite episode

    casting call for the movie, brooke is forced to deal with her old reputation, peyton is having a hard time taking care of baby proofing without lucas, haley publishes sam's paper and is threatend to be fired, nathan gets a starting position. hide show

    i think it was a wonderful episode.
    first of all i thought that brooke and jullian are soo cute together but in this episode at the beginning, i thought he was so rude he didn't even know brooke in high school, so why would he have the right to judge? But after when they make up i think it is so cute. i hope they don't keep like breaking up every episode. oh, and brookes clone was soo halarious to watch but would be way to annoyig if she actually followed any one around:P i didn't really like peyton these last few episode but i loved her this episode seeing her and mia try to put the crib together was funny:)

    haley, i actually am starting to love haley lately she's so funny and joy is a great actress. but i hope she doesn't get fired for publishing a paper that would mean something to the students at the school

    oh and chase and mia? i really don't think they go together

    nathans story line was typical about basket ball. but i felt bad for devon.

    the casting,it was really good and funny to watch, especially all the peytons and nathans:P all together it was a wonderfull episode best of season 6 so far but it won't be back on until march 9:(

    Peyton is freaking out and doesnt have Lucas's support until the end. Lucas is busy/angry with casting his movie with his jack ass director. Brooke and Julian sleep together then argue and then make up. Dan and Jamie hang out on a weird date. hide show

    I loved the casting scenes regarding the movie thought that it was awesome how Lucas stood his ground on the final actors and actresses. Brooke and Julian are so cute together. Brooke has really matured in the last 2 seasons as an actor so has Sophia. Find it really weird how much time Dan is hgaving with Jamie. Why would you let your 5 year old son hang out with your murdering father?? Even if he is dying, ayone remember Keith? Hope Hayley has a bit of fun with the new principal and stand her ground. I think that she will get fired and then the students will rally around her to get her job back.
    Anyway all in all mixed feelings about this one.

  • When Brooke and Peyton are in shop with Missy, Missy said exactly the same words as Brooke said to Peyton in episode 6 season 1: [i]Wanna know what I think? I think Nathan likes tutor girl. But I think tutor girl likes Lucas. And I know I like Lucas. And I don't know who the hell you like anymore. This is all turning into one big love ...rectangle plus one, whatever that is.[/i] but she can't possibly know the exact quote of Brooke words neither do Lucas who wrote the script. []
