    I looked forward to this episode of One Tree Hill for a month, and was let down big time. The only scenes I thought were worth my time were the scenes between Nathan and Deb. Those scenes were excellent, both in writing and performance, and that is the only reason I rated this episode as high as I did. As for the other stuff, I thought it sucked.

    What was the point of Peyton dragging Lucas out to her mom's place just to have her go in by herself? (And I'm not talking character-wise, but from the aspect of the writers.) What was the point of this female character Lucas used to be really good friends with? She was a good actress, but her character was absolutely pointless, and it was pretty awful writing. We didn't need this one character who had never been mentioned before and probably will never be mentioned again just to remind Lucas of basketball and blah blah. We saw him throw away his heart pills. He'd already chosen basketball.

    The Brooke storyline was also pointless. Why do we care? What does this add to the characters and their actual storylines? Um, nothing.

    Yes, I'm pleased that both couples are back together. Very pleased. Ecstatic, even. But this episode was a major letdown in every other avenue, except that I think they might finally go in the right direction with Dan and Nathan, and with Dan's abusive and controlling ways to Nathan. I see that coming to a head soon and I'm glad. It's been there since season one.

    That said, the next few episodes had BETTER be better, or this girl will not be watching this show anymore. (And THAT said, this show is one of my favorite shows, but as you may see, I am so utterly disappointed and displeased with this episode.) Brave New World was the least well written, least enjoyable episode of the entire series, and I was not a fan of season two.moreless

    Lucas and Peyton take a road trip together to find Ellie. While out of town, Lucas reconnects with a friend from his past. Brooke, Haley and Mouth successfully launch the Clothes Over Bro's website, only to find that demand far exceeds supply. Deb reveals to Nathan that she tried to kill Dan. Haha, Dan. "At least Peyton was pleasant in the morning." "Mouth, I did not call you over here to showcase your counting skills!" LMFAO! I love Brooke. :) LMAO "This is tutorial girl." Haha, I love Brooke. I think Deb did the right thing, since it's only TV. And she did it for her family. "I'd hate to interrupt the MALE bonding." Haha I loved this episode.moreless

    Peyton decides to visit Ellie. Since Lucas promised he would go with her, he does. Brooke puts her new company, Clothes Over Bros. online. She already has 43 orders, but only 4 dresses. She, Haley, Mouth, and the cheerleading squad help her make dresses, but she becomes very mean to everyone. While Peyton visits Ellie and hopes she can help with Haley's music, Lucas sees an old friend, Faith. They were outsiders as freshmen and both love basketball. After Ellie and Peyton bond, they get into a fight about whether Ellie is going to die or not. Peyton wants to know the truth. Ellie lies to her, saying she's fine. In reality, the doctor calls and asks Ellie if she is going to continue treatment or not. Nathan visits Deb. She tells him about her murder attempt and that she wants to change. Lucas visits the river court with Brooke while Nathan and Haley enjoy each other's company. Ellie goes back to Peyton and says that Haley's song was really good and she wants to help record it.

    This episode was great! Brooke was really mean to everyone. I'm glad Peyton and Ellie made up in the end. Faith seemed like a good character! I give this episode a 9.5 out of 10!moreless

    Aw once again Lucas and Peyton take a road trip and once again they do not take Brooke with them. I thought that it was really good of Peyton to go looking for her birth mother after having her encounter with the other side of Peyton. It was really good to see Lucas with a old friend from school. It was funny that Lucas's friend and Peyton's mom live in the same town. I really really like Clothes over bros and the whole idea behind it. It was funny to see Brooke react when she found out her clothing line was popular. It was really nice of everyone to help Brooke out. Except for Reachel she was doing it for herself.moreless

    • When Nathan comes to the apartment door at the end of the episode, you can see the door is red. Brooke mentioned in season 2 she would miss being the girl behind the red door when she moved so Lucas painted his bedroom door red for her to tell her she could stay there. Now, she is, again, the girl behind the red door. Edit
    • When Ellie comes to Peyton's door and says that Haley's song is good but it needs backgroung vocals, if you listen to the song it already has background vocals. Edit

    • Deb: I'm so sorry Nathan,I am, but the fire at the dealership - it wasn't an accident. We were going to get out, remember. But your father wouldn't have that. It was me. I tried to kill him. (Nathan shrugs off Deb's hands). I was so miserable that day because of your father. I hadn't been out of rehab long and it had been a difficult day. I had to find some strength, some courage, to find a way out, and that's when I found one. There were just four things left to do. The first was to type the card. The second was to deliver it. The third was to light it. The fourth was to ask God to take me far away from this person I'd become. I'm sorry Nathan, I did it for both of us, to free us. Nathan: No. (Starts to walk away). Deb: Please Nathan, wait. Nathan: No. You didn't have the courage to leave him, but you had the courage to kill him. Edit
    • Deb: (To Nathan). As far back as I can remember I've had to rely on others. I've never been able to be alone. I've never been very strong. But now, it's time for me to try. I have to. (Pause). I'm not going back to Tree Hill, Nathan. Edit
    • (Peyton and Lucas are driving in her car and Lucas just told her that he and Brooke are together now) Peyton: Oh no, I am an idiot! No, you know what? Scratch that, you are an idiot! I didn't know any better. Lucas: What are you talking about? Peyton: Lucas, you guys have been together what? Just a couple of hours and you're in the car with me? WHy didn't you tell me? I wouldn't have even asked you to come. Lucas: Peyton, I made you a promise. Besides, you should be able to turn to me for help. I love being that guy for you! Peyton: Well, does Brooke love you being that guy for me? Edit
