  • When Nathan looks at the emails on the laptop, the subject lines obviously suggest the letters were from Chris. However, the screen says the letters were sent TO Chris Keller. Doesn't make much sense that Haley would be writing Chris "Come sing with me! Your audience awaits!" etc... edit »
  • The bracelet that we see in the flashback which is the original one from first season is different than the one we see on the table in the second season. edit »
  • When Lucas is about to leave Brooke's house, the camera is pointing at him. Then it changes and is behind is right shoulder and you see that he has his backpack on because you see the strap on his shoulder. But Lucas never picked up his backpack. edit »
  • When Felix comes into Brooke's room while Lucas is helping her, the camera is facing Lucas and his hands are folded in his lap. Then when the camera is behind Lucas' right shoulder, Lucas is rubbing his neck, but when the camera is facing Lucas again, his hands are folded in his lap again. There is no way he could move his hands that fast with the amount of time in between the angles of the camera. edit »
  • The baby Jenny that slept between Jake and Peyton was too young to possibly be Jenny. The Jenny we've seen in other episodes has been several months old, this one looked like a newborn. edit »
  • Barbara Alyn Woods (Deborah "Deb" Scott) doesn't appear in this episode, although she is featured in the opening credits. edit »
  • This is the first episode to feature recurring role, Erica Marsh (Katherine Bailess). edit »

  • Taylor: I know what it's like to search for something more. It's why I'm always running. But then I've never had a Nathan to come home to.
    edit »
  • Brooke: I can’t believe that little bitch went negative.
    Peyton: I can’t believe she beat you to it. edit »
  • Chris: Looking for an autograph?
    Nathan: No, actually, I was looking to kick your ass. But then I realized... why bother? There's nothing here for you. Haley sees what you really are: a pathetic poser. I just wanted to let you know.
    Chris: You're wrong. You're just trying to silence that voice inside your head. Yeah, you know the one. It's growing louder every day. It's saying "We're drifting apart. I'm losing her."
    Nathan: Actually, it's saying "shut this guy up, once and for all."
    Chris: Okay, maybe I'm wrong? Maybe she does love you.
    Nathan: She does.
    Chris: What if that's not enough? edit »
  • (Taylor answers the door of Haley and Nathan's apartment and it is Dan)
    Dan: Upgrade. I'm Dan.
    Taylor: And I'm out of your league.
    Dan: Wanna bet?
    Nathan: What are you doing here?
    Dan: That's the last of your stuff. I need to make some room, Lucas is moving in.
    Haley: Lucas is moving in?
    Dan: Yeah, guess I'm not the devil after all. edit »
  • Karen: What the hell are you doing with Lucas?
    Dan: So he told you?
    Karen: Only that he's moving in with you, not the real reason why.
    Dan: He wants to get to know his father.
    Karen: That's crap, and we both know it. You're manipulating him somehow.
    Dan: No, I'm letting him make a choice. He's a big boy Karen, maybe he needs something more than just his mommy. edit »
