    The girls of Tree Hill have a slumber party, at which time secrets are revealed and bonds are made. Meanwhile, Nathan and Lucas embark on a road trip to Charlotte for a basketball game, and unknowingly to Lucas, are scheduled to be tested for HCM, a genetic heart condition that Dan carries. Meanwhile, Karen and Andy have their first fight. Very entertaining episode. I really enjoyed watching it. Haley lied to Nathan! :( Haha, Brooke is broke and still as amazing as ever. "Tonight, Brooke doesn't have a husband, I don't have a bed, so we're having a slumber party." Haha. Good episode. :)

    The girls of Tree Hill have a slumber party, at which time secrets are revealed and bonds are made. Meanwhile, Nathan and Lucas road trip to Charlotte for a basketball game, and unknowingly to Lucas, they embark upon free HCM tests, a genetic heart condition that Dan maintains. Karen and Andy have a row. This episode is named after a song by Marianne Faithfull. At a slumber party, Tree Hill girls share secrets. On the road trip to a basketball game, Nathan and Lucas share concerns about inheriting Dan's genetic heart defect. Nathan gets tested but Lucas refuses. I really enjoyed this episode. The girls acted very well, in the scences at Haley's house. It was great fun watching them tell eachother their little secrets and stuff. Nathan and Lucas, where great too. I hope they dont have the genetic heart defect. I dont know what would happen to them if one of them get it but, I hope they dont get it at all. Well, all the characters did an awesome in the is episode. All in all another awesome episode of One Tree Hill.

    A wonderful episode! hide show

    With Lucas and Nathan out of town, Brooke decides to have a slumber party at Haley's apartment. The real reason why Nathan and Lucas are gone is because they went to get a check up because Dan's heart condition is genetic. There is a 1 in 2 chance that someone will get it. Lucas doesn't get tested, but Nathan does and he's fine. Peyton brings Anna along to the slumber party. Things get ugly when Haley gets angry at Brooke for her and Felix having sex in her bed. Haley blurts out that Peyton did drugs. Anna feels left out. Karen and Andy sleep together. Keith and Jules get to know each other more. Haley has a music session with Chris, but she lies to Nathan about it. Felix tells Anna that he does like Brooke.

    This episode was wonderful! There were many things that came up. I hope Lucas doesn't have it. I'm glad Nathan doesn't though. This episode gets a 10 out of 10 from me!

    I loved it. hide show

    this was such a great episode. Nathan and Lucas go to Charlotte to see the basketball team, the Bobcats play. They stay overnight, and Nathan tells Lucas that Dan has a genetic heart condition, and he made appointments to see if they have it. Lucas doesn't follow through, but Nathan takes the test. He ends up being fine. Brooke throws Haley a slumber party, because she has never had one before. Before the sleepover, Haley goes to the studio and records a remake of Tim McGraw, When the Stars Go Blue. When Peyton and Anna go to Haley's apartment, they find Brooke and Felix having sex in Haley and Nathan's bed. Brooke, Haley, and Peyton get into a fight. Brooke calls Haley a liar, Haley says that Peyton took drugs, and Haley said that Brooke is a slut. They finally end their fight, and they start having a pillow fight. It was so fun to watch, there were feathers flying everywhere. this was a fantastic episode. I really liked watching it. And I thought that it was cool that they went to see the Bobcats, because I have seen them a couple times.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • With Brooke's intro, this episode marks the first time anyone other than Lucas has done the voiceover. []
  • The blanket that Haley has draped over her while she's at the bench eating, (after her fight with Brooke and Peyton) is the same blanket that was on Lucas' bed in the pilot episode of the series. []
  • Both times we see Nathan and Lucas talking in the car when "Holiday" is playing, it cuts to a shot of the car driving by. They used the same shot for both times. If you look, you can see that Nathan is wearing a red long sleeved shirt as the car goes by the second time and the sun looks to be setting, but Nathan was wearing a short sleeved blue shirt two seconds earlier and it was mid day outside.

  • Chris: All right Haley, listen. A lot of girls can sing on key okay? I'm gonna need something a little bit more from you all right? Something, a bit further south than your brain. You know what I saying? Listen, it's not about technique. It's about giving me something of yourself. Something that no one else gets to see. You can't play it safe in here Haley. I'm not gonna let you. []
  • Peyton: So, find anything good in the lost and found?
