  • This episode was a great episode because Dan showed his feelings. It also shows that Brooke really has big feelings for Lucas and she cares so much about him that she decides to meet his mother. This was a very well written episode.moreless

    I Shall Believe is the thirteenth episode of the first season and the whole series. It was a very good episode. I like the fact that in this episode Brooke showed her real feelings about Brooke to her mother-in-law, Karen. I also like that fact that Nathan wants to get Haley back and I like the fact that this episode is named after a song Bethany Joy Galleotti (Haley) sings. Well the thing from this episode that I hate is that Karen gets mad at Keith for drinking in the accident even though she has the right to be mad. Well this isn't the best episode but it's an okay episode.moreless

Poor Lucas! :( At least he's OK. I feel bad for Haley, finding out that Nathan started dating Haley to get back at Lucas. :( Peyton is about to tell Brooke about Lucas and they learn he's in the hospital. Sophia Bush is an amazing actress! She finally meets Karen, though. =] Karen finds out Keith was drinking! Great episode!moreless

    Lucas is unconcious. Karen finds out a lot about what has happened, like Brooke as Lucas's girlfriend, Deb and Dan's divorce, and the most shocking to her, Keith's drinking and driving at the time of the accident. Keith tries to help by paying for Karen. Nathan tries to win back Haley after she dumps him. She found out his first reason for tutoring-making Lucas mad. He says he's changed because of her. Peyton has a really hard time with Brooke. She feels weird around her. Brooke says that she is crazy about Lucas.

    This episode was absolutely amazing! Even though Lucas had small scenes, every moment was gripping! I feel extremely bad for Brooke. I love her now and I really hate to see her when she finds out about Lucas and Peyton. All the talk of being crazy about him and stuff really makes it harder. I was happy to see Karen back after her very brief appearance in the last episode. I'm glad Haley took Nathan back. It was really emotional when Haley went to see Lucas. This episode gets a 10!moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • This is the first episode that plays the song that the episode is named after within that episode. Edit
    • When Nathan tries to convince Haley to go see Lucas in the hospital, the board on the wall in the background has the words, "I remember the turning tides of battle. I went astray but my mind was still a dreamer," written on it. Edit
    • In the "Previously on One Tree Hill" part at the beginning of the episode, when Haley walks out on Lucas saying "Fine!" it's a completely different take than what was used in the previous episode, because in actual episode, she says it more calmly, while in the recap she yells it violently.

    • Peyton: I never let myself need anybody. Ever. Not since my mom died. But with Lucas, he looks at me and he really sees me. You know? Just right down into my soul. Haley: I just want to tell him that I love him and I'm sorry. Peyton: I just want to tell him I'm in love with him. Edit
    • Nathan: Lucas is awake. I was there when he opened his eyes. I went to see him. Haley: Why? Nathan: Cause I knew you couldn't. I wanted him to know that you were thinking about him. Look, I know that it was wrong to go after you for the reasons that I did. I can't apologize for it. I'm glad I did it. I'm not that person anymore. It's because of you. Let me take you to him. Edit
    • Nathan: How's Lucas? Haley: Like you care. Nathan: Haley, come on. That's not fair. Look, we're not tight, but I don't wanna see the guy in the hospital. Haley: Why? Because if he's out of circulation, then you can't use me to piss him off? Edit
