Goof: We find out in this epsiode that Brooke's birthday is March 4th.

We can assume that as Haley gives birth on graduation day that it was around July.

Meaning that Haley would have to be roughly 5 months pregnant. So why is Haley not showing for another few episodes? edit »
Goof: When Brooke is looking through her birthday photo album you can see a picture of her and Peyton on her 17th birthday, in which Peyton has short hair.
However, Brooke's 17th birthday would have been in the second half of Junior year (season 2) and Peyton did not cut her hair until the end of the summer before senior year. (season 3) edit »
Brooke moves in with Rachel. edit »
Brooke and Haley are the only people that know about the pregnancy so far. edit »
We learn of a birthday ritual that Brooke and Peyton shared. Since they were 9 on Brooke's birthday her and Peyton would go to her favorite store half and hour before closing and Peyton would shoplift an item for her. What Brooke didn't know was that Peytons dad knew the store's manger and whatever they stole, Peyton would actually pay, but never tell Brooke. edit »

Lucas: You shoplift Brooke's birthday present?
Peyton: Yeah, sort of, that's... okay, my dad's friends with the manager so I would just come home and tell him what we took and then we'd pay for it, but we never told Brooke she was all crazy for the juice so I just figured, maybe if you go in my place this year and you're not a complete bonehead in the romance department (smiles sadly) then maybe you've got a shot
Lucas: And you've done this every year for how many years?
Peyton: This would've been the tenth.
Lucas: But she's pissed at you, so A) why would you help her? And B) What makes you think she's even gonna show up?
Peyton: (softly) I'm not helping her, I'm helping you. edit »
Karen: Deb, I'm not playing games with your wacky ass, give me the damn gun! edit »

Skills: So, Brooke just broke up with ya?
Lucas: Yup.
Skills: Man, that's cold dawg.
Lucas: Oh yeah.
Skills: Although you did kiss Peyton.
Lucas: You want me to get you a tryout with the Ravens or what?
Skills: Yes I do. But that still don't mean you didn't kiss Peyton.
Lucas: I love Brooke, Skills.
Skills: I know you love her. So what, you gonna try and get her back?
Lucas: Yeah. (Peyton walks in)
Skills: Hmm...I'm not too sure that's the way to do it, but hey.
Skills: (to Peyton) Wassup homewrecker? edit »
