We start off with Brooke and Baby Angie. She tries her best to stop the baby crying but as Peyton says that hasn't happened in 3 nights. So the pair of them try everything that they can think of to get the baby to stop crying. But it doesn't work. We learn that Angie's in the states for surgery for her heart.
We then flash forward to Skills and Mouth in the apartment and talking about Millie. As Skills is leaving the apartment he steals a pair of Millie underwear. We then see Haley waking up Jamie where we learn that it is in fact Jamie's 5th birthday (God where does all the time go?). We Haley asks him what he wants for his birthday he answers that he only wants two things, a Wii and Grampa Dan to go to his party. Dan goes to see Nathan while he is training in the school gym. He asks if he can go to the party to wish Jamie a happy birthday but Nathan tells him no. We then see Peyton speaking on the phone to Mia. Haley goes to see Lucas to make sure that he will be ok with Lindsay going to Jamie's birthday party. Seems like everyone got an invite apart fro me and Dan.
Millie asks Brooke has she done the sketches for Macys and she said she hasn't. Be as Brooke said "Aint I so Angelina". Skills promises Nathan that he would get Jamie a Wii, so he asks Peyton for her help in finding one.
When Millie and Mouth go back home they find the apartment spotless but when Mouth opens the cupboard everything falls out. Priceless.
Nathan tells Haley about Dan. Jamie asks if Dan can come to Nathan and he tells him no, but does so nicely. Jamie looks heartbroken. Just when Brooke finishes one sketch the baby starts to cry again and gets food all over her sketch. Skills worries that Naley don't ant him around Jamie as much since he got kidnapped. Love him. Peyton tries to make him fell better by telling him that it's not him, it's just everything. Lucas and Haley have a heart 2 heart while he tries to pick out a shirt to wear to the party to try and impress Lindsay.
Skills and Mouth talk and we find out that Skills still feels guilty. He says how they won't let him go over any more even though they need help with him.
Haley pens the door to a clown and looks completely terrified.
Hakye asks Brooke about the baby. They all sing happy birthday to Jamie. So cute. The smile on his face is priceless. In walks Lindsay as Jamie is wishing for something. Millie asks Skills do the other guys really hate her. Bless. Brooke and Jamie talk s she changes Angie and she tells him that she aint got him a present yet and so gives him a cheque. And he says hes that a lot of zeroes. He then kisses Angie. Super cute.
Lucas chats to Lindsay. Jamie comes in and asks her when she is coming home. Deb seems to be having a lot of fun with the clown when Dan turns up. The clown comes out and when Deb mentions that Dan has done time the clown answer "haven't we all"
Lindsay and Peyton talk and Peyton tells her to blame her and Lindsay says she can't
Skills talks to Naley to apologize again for the wedding. Haley calls him antwon. They tell him that it's more to do with them than him.
Jamie opens presents. Lucas gave him a book. He has a dinosaur themed birthday. Haley talks to deb who just came out of the bathroom and then so does the clown. We also learn that Haley has clown nightmares. Skills gives him his Wii at the end. Brucas have a very cute scene at the car with Angie. He offers to go with her to the doctors with Angie for her pre-op. Then they hug.
Later on Lindsay goes to see Lucas. She comes to get the rest of her things. He tells her he loves her and she says she loves him, but I takes more than that to build a marriage she then hands back her key. He won't take it so she leaves it on the dresser for him and then leaves. I think then it hits him that it's truly over. Boys watching Pilates Millie goes back to the house and takes pizza and beer she then picks up a water pistol and they start a fight.
Then Brooke goes to Lucas's for help with the baby. Lucas tells her that she can stay and finish her sketches. Jamie and Skills are still playing on the Wii when Haley's says its time for bed, but they agree to one more game. The waterpistal thing is hilarious. Lucas puts a blanket over Brooke as he holds Angie and then she cuddle sup to him and h puts his arm around her. Very Cute! BRUCAS! Turns out the old jersey which Jamie got as a present was from Dan.
Dan hands Nathan his will, Nathan is getting the beach house. Says he won't want it any of it. Then Dan tells him tat he has a bad heart, and Nathan does really seem to care and who can blame him. He needs a heart transplant and he has 6 months to live. Nathan simply laves and Dan looks upset.moreless

It's Jamie's fifth birthday and everyone is invited...except Dan. Skills feels that Nathan and Haley don't trust him anymore because of what happened at the wedding. He and Peyton talk about it and about how Peyton needs to muster up courage to talk to Lucas. Lucas is nervous about Lindsey being at the party. He loves her, but she needs time. Millicent feels like Fergie, Junk and Skills are uncomfortable with her living there. Deb seems to have a thing going with the creepy clown. Dan drops by Jamie's party and gives him a present. Jamie wants Dan to be there, but everyone else doesn't. Brooke has a lot on her plate with Angie and her work and everything else. Lucas helps her out though and flames seem to be rekindling. Dan tells Nathan that his HCM is causing problems and that he has only 6 monthes to live.

This episode was great! I don't think Millicent should be living with Mouth, but that water fight looked fun! Deb and the creepy clown was sort of...well...creepy. I wonder if Dan's lying about his heart or not. I sort of like the idea Brooke and Lucas together. Even worse, I actually was rooting for Lucas and Lindsey also. Peyton and Lucas seems to be getting a little too destined to be true. Jamie is awesome! This episode gets a 10 out of 10!moreless

"Fair"

This was an okay episode, it was definitely watchable but not a great deal happened. Okay ... at the end we find out Dan has 6 months to live but that was the end. Basically the whole episode felt a bit pointless. The highlight was probably Brooke with her baby, but that's not that great. Jamie is still good though, but sometimes he does say things, that NO 5 year old would say.

Mouth and Millicent, don't really like them, so didn't care for the moving in storyline at all. I suppose the water fight at the end was okay. Haley was in the background here, other then actually throwing the party. I do like how people are with Jamie, its realistic and believable. Peyton wasn't really needed either, other then more wanting Lucas ... which is getting tiresome.

Deb was another not needed character, she slept with a clown, who cares. Haley's reaction was amusing though. The Dan thing is getting boring as well, each episode, he finds Nathan and then Nathan tells him to stay away from his son, blah, blah, blah. Don't get me started on the Lucas dross, why they are still making him want Lindsey is beyond me, he likes Peyton!

There conversation didn't do anything for me, Lindsey's whole 'I was wondering what are first words would be' eye roller, in my opinion. Brooke with the baby, fairly entertaining but it gets dull after a while. And Brooke going to Lucas's, didn't think twice about. Skills and Jamie were good, bonding at the end.

Basically I think the classification of this episode should be 'What was the point?' Very average episode.moreless

- Lily also just turned 5 because she's only a few days older than Jamie, although there is no mention of her birthday. Edit
- Goof: Jamie's birthday was the same day that the group graduated high school which was probably in June, now his birthday is during the school year because there is still basketball going on. Edit
- Goof: When Skills and Peyton are walking on the bridge, talking about how difficult it was to find a Wii, he's clearly carrying a bag with a Wii (supposedly to him). It was definitely a fake, because the real box of the Wii is heavy and he's carrying the bag with two fingers! And in the later scenes, when he's packing the Wii as a birthday present, he angles it like it's so light. He does the same when he gives Jamie his birthday present. Edit
