I do not want to say that Kevin Federline was stuntcasting, as his appearance probably turned more people off than brought in new viewers, but there had to be a better choice to play this part than the former Mr. Britney Spears. I am no casting director, but come on.

I still do not like this time jump (it's ridiculous how successful they all are) but the Nathan, Q and Haley story arc has some potential here. Quentin is a nice addition to the cast, as anything that brings OTH away from cliched teen drama and back to the basketball court is fine by me.moreless

Peyton wants Haley to work with Jason on his music but he refuses to. Mouth is involved in a relationship with his boss and age is a factor in it. As the opening of Clothes over Bros approaches, Brooke finds herself in a few problems. Nathan takes strides to help Quentin. This episode's an improvement over the past three, I'd say. "Chris Keller ring a bell?" "Only his own." Haha. :) LMAO, Victoria! "Why does your assistant dress like a Slavic bag lady?" I liked the Peyton and Haley interaction in this episode. And Brooke is still incredibly amazing. :) I love her. Good episode, definitely. I like Mouth's storyline, too. Great episode.moreless

This episode had Brooke's store opening, more of Mouth's storyline and other stuff. It really bothered me that the Nanny is spending so much time with Jamie. I mean, I know it's her job, but it just bothers me. Haley should come home more often too because it's her son and she shouldn't loose that bond that she had with him. Nathan is helping Quentin out; he is just an obnoxious kid. I hope he 'mans' up soon and takes responsibility for his own actions. Brooke's Clothes Over Bros opening, yay! I hated how Lucas told Peyton that that guy wasn't good enough for her.moreless

Brooke's store is close to opening. Victoria wants her in New York, but she lets her open in Tree Hill. Millicent comes to Tree Hill to help out. Mouth and Alice slept together and are sleeping together. He stands up to her at work. Nathan gets a haircut. He also helps out Quentin and tries to change him. Quentin can't be changed, but now he is on the basketball team and is as cocky as ever. Lindsey is going to New York, so she suggests that Lucas and Peyton should go to Brooke's grand opening together. Jason gives Peyton a hard time at the studio. Haley stops by and things get worse. Haley discovers that Mia, the keyboard player in the band, has real talent. Peyton fires Jason and the band except Mia, who stays. Jamie is spending a lot of time with Carrie. Haley realizes that when she finds a picture that Jamie drew of him and Carrie. After Brooke's grand opening, not one dress is bought. Victoria predicted this and said it would be a failure. Millicent buys a dress to help out. Victoria is cruel to Lucas and Peyton.

This was a great episode! I hate Jason, Victoria and Quentin. I don't know who I hate more though: the cocky Quentin, the stuck-up Victoria or the idiot Jason. All were very prideful. I really hated how Quentin thought that Lucas needed him to win. That's not true, even though Quentin is very good at basketball. Victoria is a pessimist, who is also rude. Also, Jason couldn't just slow down the song to see what it'd be like? Mia is great though! I really do like how adult the gang has grown up to be, yet they are similar to themselves when they were in high school. This episode gets a 10 out of 10 from me!moreless

Oh thank god Jason is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the h3ll was kevin federline doing in One Tree Hill in the first place? I'm so glad he's gone and he better NOT come back!

Haley and Mia will make a good team and I'm glad she's getting back into the music again, but I hope she doesn't go as far as last time! But I think she can really help Mia and get her to come out of her shell after being stuck behind Jason! Doesn't Jamie just get more adorable every week? He's a hunny!!

And ABOUT TIME! Nathan finally had a hair cut! I didn't like the "mullet" (as Haley put it) on him! He looks so much better now!

I want Brooke back too! The Brooke from season 4... Get her stupid and arrogent Mother out of Tree Hill and she will glow again! She needs a break from her silly Mom and then we will have the Brooke we love back!!

As for Payton and Lucas! NO! I want Luc with Brooke but I know that wont happen! But I hope Brooke finds happiness with someone!moreless

- Lucas: (voiceover) Much as some of us fight it, our parents have a mystical hold over us, the power to affect our thoughts and emotions the way only they can. It's a bond that changes over time, but doesn't diminish, even if they're half a world away, or in another world entirely. It's a power we never fully understand. We're left only to wonder that when our time comes, what kind of hold will we have on our children? Edit
