    "Perfect"
    This episode started out great! Rachel, the Clean Teen, started her day with a "bang." Lucas read his letter to Peyton in front of everyone, and Peyton kissed him in class. They got to spend detention together. :) I loved Deb's scene with Karen and Dan. Brooke gets an A on the test she cheated on! She says she is a smart virgin, and Rachel calls her "the new Mouth." Peyton and Lucas are way to mushy in love... Peyton introduces Lucas to her dead mother at the cemetery... Lucas talks to Keith then, alone. Lucas finally realizes Jimmy didn't kill Keith... 18 episodes later...moreless

    Deb notices that Dan is spending a lot of time with Karen. Principal Turner finds out that a test is missing, and whoever took it will be expelled. Brooke panics, but Rachel is calm. Rachel is dismissed from the Clean Teens after a tape proves that she's not sincerely a Clean Teen. A new guy, Chase, joins the club. Brooke takes interest in him. Skills suggests to Nathan that he get money by stripping. Nathan reluctantly does it and Mouth choreographs it. Haley wants to find the perfect prom dress. Lucas tells Peyton about his dream with Keith and that Jimmy might not have killed Keith. He also tells Karen, who gets upset. After Deb gets a talk from Dan about how he never loved her and when she tries to see Nathan, but instead knocks Haley down and Nathan tells her to stay away, she takes a bunch of pills at once and goes to the hospital. Dan has dinner with Karen. Nathan, Mouth and Skills dance and have fun! Nathan buys Haley the perfect dress that fits her! Brooke and Chase go on a date, but she sort of feels guilty about lying about her Clean Teen issues and her Calculus exam (she got an A because she cheated). He wants an honest girl, which Brooke isn't right now.

    This was a great episode! Mouth is always funny when he dances! I really like Chase! Deb is really falling from where she could be. I actually like Dan and Karen together and it's weird. This episode gets a 10!moreless

  • This was a very good episode, but I can't help but wonder that if there all happy now, how long can it last?

    This was good, it was good to see the characters happy for once, some of this was a bit soppy but it didn't really bother me here. Lucas and peyton I think are good together, I liked how it ashowed us that they are happier together, the cookie thing at the end could have annoyed me, but it didn't, it was a great scene.

    I'm not a fan of Chase, so the introduction of him didn't do much for me, we were shown a new side of Brooke anway, I thought the whole Clean Teen thing was funny, the emergencu meeting at times was amusing. Deb taking an overdose, was beloevable, after we spent the episode watching her life turn to ruin, Dan was interestuing to watch, he felt no remorse.

    Lucas figuring out that Jimmy didn't kill Keith could become interesting. The stripping scenes were funny, Nathan and Haley are good again, thank god. A great erpisode, it only gets better.moreless

    I love this episode.
    Nathan is so adorable! He's really sweet. I loved the dance that him, Mouth, and Skills did, and I absolutely loved how he bought a dress that fit Haley for prom. Anyways the three guys are 'sexy strippers' ha I felt bad for Haley since she couldn't fit anything. But Nathan bought her the dress and I was like awh. Nathan & Haley's parts always make me smile :D

    Rachel got kicked out of clean teens because she stripped and they got it on tape. Brooke stayed in clean teens, so of course Rachel got mad. but Brooke and Chase are pretty cute together. Peyton and Lucas definitely are adorable. I used to hate the whole idea of them, because I loved Brooke & Lucas together. But this is one of the only episodes that they actually showed Peyton & Lucas' relationship on the show. And not sneaking around Brooke's back. I thought it was so cute that Peyton was trying to bake cookies for Lucas and she accidently burnt them. And I loved that they threw the cookie dough at each other. And that Lucas decided that it was the best batch of cookies, even with all that salt.

    I love One Tree Hill. (:moreless

  • Brooke catches a Chase.

    7.0
    "Good"
    A quick recap of the episode:
    We are first and foremost introduced to Chase-a new student and a 'clean teen'. Mouth begins to have the eye for Shelly, while Brooke chases her way through Chase's heart. Lucas and Peyton kindle their romance in and out of school, as Nathan tries to find a job. Skills gives Nathan a hand by joining a 'competition' at the strip club, however, Nathan lacks dancing skills. Dan rubs against Karen, but elsewhere, Brooke is feeling slightly guilty about stealing and cheating on the calculus exam.

    Haylie is upset about her injuries,and Rachel is kicked out of clean teens.Lucas tell Karen that he doesn't think Jimmy shot Keith, yet Karen has other things on her mind-she invites Dan over for dinner. Deb overdoses on some pills and calls Dan as he is on his way to meet Karen for dinner. Finally, Nathan buys Haylie a prom dress from his 'strip' money.

    What do I think of this episode: Defiantly entertaining, another gratifying Tree Hill episode. I found the introduction of Chase to be weird though.moreless

Lucas: (not one bit worried) I'd be happy to. (turning to Peyton) Ahm, it just says, Peyton you look amazing. (Peyton smiles happily and looks down a little embarassed) And I can't wait till class is over so I can look at those green eyes and kiss your perfect lips. (turning to the teacher) Did I miss anything? Teacher: No, that, that pretty much covers it. Peyton, care to respond? (At that Peyton leans over to Lucas and kisses him. The kiss leaves both of them staring dreamily at each other.) Oh, young love. At least you'll be together in detention. Peyton: (to Lucas) So worth it. Edit
