    Stealing,drugs,car races and the new guy. The serious episodes are back and they are better than ever. hide show

    After three episodes of dancing with strippers and partying, I was starting to think One Tree Hill would never bring the serious episodes back again but this episode changed everything. The new boy is in town. Everybody dislikes him except for Mouth. He's the boy version of Brooke or is he ? Brooke's family goes bankrupt so she steals a bra, she's almost caught until the new boy saves her a$$. Brooke isn't the only one to run into the new boy. Lucas and Dan race the stuckup brat but lose when he did his crazy " gonna get hit by a car " stunt. Peyton has a great idea about a club for all ages but she has to prove that she can do it by taking drugs. Karen is enjoying her classes and she is already the teacher's favorite. Nathan and Haley have their first married couple fight. I liked that One Tree Hill has restored the serious storylines and have managed to make things crazy but in a way that will help the storyline and add some maturity to the plot. The addition of two new characters was a good move. I was getting bored of the same old cast. Great episode !

LMAO at the scene in the beginning with Brooke and her Spanish neighbor. Felix think he and Brooke have a connection. Haha. "You wanna hit it not babysit it." Haha, good episode.

    There's a new neighbor in town, Nathan works with Keith, Haley and Nathan are fighting because they agreed on a car and Nathan got her a keyboard instead of a car. Keith actually saves him from a headech and shows Nathan a car that he was going to sell. hide show

    This episode was awesome. I loved how Keith helped Nathan. Dan was a major dick to him though when he found out that Nathan was working at the dealership. I felt bad for him when that happend. anyways hello to the 3 new charachters, Andy, Anna and Felix. Felix made a hell of an impression swimming in Brook's pool like that I thought that was pretty damn funny. I loved how Payton is trying to promote an all ages club night I think that idea is awesome. I felt bad for Nathan when Haley didn't like the gift (the keyboard) that must have sucked. I thought it was pretty funny that Brook shoplifted before and got caught doing it and Felix saved her. I thought that was funny. anyways that's my opinion

    I just have to say this...Andy is really hot! hide show

    Brooke's new neighbor quickly makes his presence felt among the Tree Hill gang and even comes to Brooke's rescue when she is caught shoplifting. Nathan and Haley have their first post-wedding argument when he buys her a gift rather than a much-needed car. Lucas' attempt to help Dan with rehab ends in disaster when Dan reverts to his old ways. Peyton tries to organize an all-ages club and is tempted to try cocaine to seal the deal. This episode is named after a song by The Rolling Stones. Now that he's recuperating, Dan reverts to his old puppet-master personality. He's not only the one who can't do the right thing: Brooke shoplifs when her once-rich parents teeter on the brink of bankruptcy. I love the new characters, can't wait to see what they do.

    Felix and Andy! hide show

    Brooke meets Felix, who was swimming in her pool. She hates him. Mouth shows Felix around. Lucas spends a day with Dan and has fun until the very end. Nathan and Haley talk about getting a car, but instead, Nathan buys her a keyboard. She loves it, but gets upset. Peyton think that a local club should have an all-ages night. Karen goes to her first day of class and meets the professor, Andy. Brooke tells Peyton that her family is broke. Felix sees her shoplifting and helps her out. Keith offers to help Nathan out. Peyton is offered drugs, but she refuses. Karen wants to open up a club of her own with Peyton's help. Deb helps Karen's business.

    This was a great episode! Felix is bittersweet to me. He and Brooke have great chemistry, but he's a jerk! This episode gets a 10!

  • Andy: I'll give you a thousand dollars for a decent cup of coffee. []
  • Deb: He didn't wanna see me.
    Dan: He didn't wanna see either of us. Remember when he was little? I used to take him to work with me on Saturdays. He'd have to get up early, but he didn't mind. He wanted to hang out with his dad. Now I'm thinking it was all a lie. What if I spent my life chasing the wrong things, Deb? Success, money, respect... What if it turns out none of it matters because I lost my family along the way? Can I get it back? Is it too late? []
  • Nathan: If I'd known you couldn't play any better than that, I wouldn't have brought it home. I want to apologize. All right? That was your money too.
    Haley: Oh, it's not that Nathan. I totally overreacted. Partly because I love this gift, and I love you for getting it for me. But partly because we just can't be as careless as we used to be. Not if we wanna make this marriage work.
    Nathan: I know, you're right and I don't know the first thing about managing money, it was just always around.
    Haley: Yeah, well, at least you don't have that problem anymore. []
