    Looking for some fun, Brooke and Peyton crash a college party, but things turn ugly when one of the guys in the dorm drugs Peyton. After Brooke calls Lucas for help, the two bond over caring for a sleeping Peyton, prompting Lucas to look at Brooke in a new light. Meanwhile, Haley gives Nathan another chance (thanks to Brooke) and the two go on their first date. I love Brooke! "I didn't wake up with a foggy memory." "You didn't wake up with Lucas either." I love how she tried to fix everything she messed up when she was drunk. "Hello, Abercrombie!" LMAO! 10/10.

    great for Naley, they r so meant 2 be hide show

    I love this episode,it sees two people who r meant 2 b with each other get together. It was just great, u can tell nathan is tryin 2 be different 4 Haley. The actors just have a great on screen chem and it make the fictional relationship easier 2 relate 2. It's a good episode for Brooke and Lucas, who r great 2gether, but not a great episode for Leyton, and they are destined to be. The scene with Naley is brilliant, brilliant on screen and a great chemistry with Joie and James. Brooke and Lucas have a great on screen relationship and Chad and Sophia have great chemistry as well

    This episode was very painful to watch because Peyton was about to get raped and because Haley gave Nathan another chance but he blew it. I also like this episode because Brooke and Lucas begin their on and off relationship. hide show

    The Search for Something More is the eighth episode and it aired on November 11, 2003. This show was really cool because Lucas and Brooke began their off and on going relationship by likening each other and getting to know each other. Peyton and Brooke also went to this college party and Peyton was about about to get raped, which was very sad and disturbing. Haley also gave Nathan another chance but the idiot that he is blew it by showing that he cared what his friends thought about him and her. This episode was the first episode where the two pair ups separate, Brooke with Lucas, and Peyton and Nathan with Haley.

    NATHAN AND HAYLEY :) hide show

    This has to be one of the best Nathan and Hayley moments in One Tree Hill. I love the way Nathan just surprises Hayley with a kiss, leaving her almost speechless. It gives everyone hope, dont you think, that everyone can find love like Nathan and Hayley even though its only a tv. programme :) and this is evidently nathan and hayleys first kiss, i think its so cute, and its one of the many apoligies that nathan makes to hayley. its outside her house aswell which is where nathan makes his later apoligie to hayley in the rain - which probably leads to a reason for there love of rain in season 4 :)

    Naley's first kiss! hide show

    I loved this episode! The whole Naley date thing was sooo adorable especially this quote: N: I screw up a lot, all right... and being around you I just I don't wanna be that guy any more.
    H: Well, who do you wanna be Nathan?
    N: I wanna be somebody who's good enough to be seen with you.
    That moment was just awww.

    Lucas starts to see another side to Brooke. The love triangle begins...

    And Lucas getting all protective and manly, what with punching that guy and all was totally hot! And lets not forget Karen kissing Keith, that was adorable too. I luv them as a couple.

    Abercrombie & Fitch is a very popular clothing label. Texas Battle, who guest stars in season 3 of One Tree Hill, was the first African-American to appear in an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue.

    Also, when Brooke says this, she is referring to actor Sean Faris' character. Sean Faris was on Life As We Know It co-starring Jon Foster, who happens to be Sophia Bush's boyfriend (as of 2008) and was a model for Abercrombie and Fitch in Winter 2004. []
