"Good"

Family Troubles: The evil nanny has ruined the once great family, I thought I would hate the idea, but it made for more Haley and Nathan time, which made the episode not show and Lucas and Peyton bits, Lindsey wasn't even in the episode! I do feel sorry for these two because everything was going so well, I just knew Nathan should have told Haley earlier, what a shame. I feel sorry for Jamie the most though.

Record Deal: Peyton's old boss comes back and he wants to steal Mia away from Peyton. Mia is convinced that she won't be signing with John, but Peyton thinks otherwise. This was actually really boring, but I'm excited to see Ryan Adams in the next few episodes, I hope they show him.

Parole: Dan tries to get out of prison after having five years of good conduct. Lucas gives his case on why Dan should not be allowed to leave, but something Nathan did practically omitted everything he said. I am not happy to be seeing Dan around in this show, he's a pretty boring character if you ask me.

Sometimes, All You Need Is A Friend: Brooke shows Owen around her old apartment in New York, but when she gets there, she meets up with an old friend who isn't doing so well. Owen lends a helping hand and gives Brooke advice. This is looking interesting, I loved the scene wherein Brooke was unsure if her friend was going to live. I know who the friend is by the way, I just don't want to spoil it.moreless

Mia gets an offer from a major record label and in the meantime, Haley and Nathan's marriage is on the rocks. Darn that was an awesome shower scene with Nathan. Rawr. Haha. I feel bad for Haley though. Carrie is such a freak, but a hot freak. Poor Jamie! OMG Rachel! That scene was performed excellently. Sophia Bush is an amazing, hot actress. I'm pretty sure Rachel is the person Brooke had to fire in like the first episode of the season. Great episode!moreless

Dan may gain his freedom back. Lucas and Nathan fight against it. After Haley catches Nathan and Carrie in the shower, she tells them both to leave. Of course, Nathan didn't know Carrie would come in and he tried to get her out. Jamie hates Haley for making Carrie leave. Nathan tries to explain, but Haley won't listen. Quentin needs a cast. He is upset and takes it off. Peyton's old boss comes back and wants Mia for his record label. They work out a deal with Mia's dramatic performance. Owen and Brooke go to New York, where they find Rachel, who has overdosed on drugs. Owen tells Brooke to help her and not give up on her. Brooke takes Rachel home. Nathan and Haley have a fight about Carrie. Jamie falls into the pool and almost drowns. Haley and Nathan panic. After rescuing Jamie, Haley says that she wants a divorce.

This episode was really intense. With the end and Dan, there was so much. I didn't miss the Lucas/Lindsey storyline at all! I miss Keith though. It was good seeing Rachel again. I really liked her in season 4. I hope she gets better. Owen is a really good guy. I don't want Naley to break up. That was so scary when Jamie almost drowned. What an awful experience for all of them. I sort of want Dan to be free, but I hope he's learned something in prison. This episode gets a 10 out of 10 from me!moreless

Well it all sarted off so sweet and cute with Jamie running inside and yelling "Momma Ravens Won!!!!" How cute was he in his little Ravens uniform.

That didn't last though when Carrie hopped in the shower with Nathan and said she loved him and knows he loves her. What is she crazy? Is she dumb and blind? Nathan dosen't love her!! And OMG go Haley rip the skanks hair out while your at it. And later when Carrie comes back Haley tells her that her boxes are marked whore. Brillient!!

Oh and poor Rachel, I thought she was the one Brooke fired in the first episode. Addicted to durgs and overdosed too. Lucky Owen was there to help and lucky Brook took Owen to NY or they wouldn't have found her. And again with the "Whats under they clothes Brook Davis?". He cracks me up that Bartender Boy.

I think Luc did good at Dan's parole meeting and what he said was so true. But I thought he could of said that Keith was more of a Dad to him than Dan ever was. And I think he will be a good Uncle to Jamie, he had a great role model. Payton and Mia crack me up. What a great plan and it worked to their advantage. I'm glad Payton saw that Mia needed that label but she also still needs Payton because Mia will get treated like crap if Payton just let her go by herself. It was dumb that we didn't get to see what they decided about Dan but I know what happens to him.

Aww and a divorce for Nathan and Haley? NOOO!! They are the best couple! They can't get a divorce!!! NO NO NO!!

Until next week.......................moreless

Wow, pretty much all I have to say, well not all but the biggest thing is, I HATE NANNY CARRIE. How dare she come in the shower??? Is she even sane? Like, who does that. Come in with your married client?!?! It made me so angry. You can't just do that. And then to tell Haley that Nathan loves her. Such a lie. It really bothered me. And then she like affects Jamie so much too. She just broke apart their family. It's ridiculous what a psychpath will do. On a happier note, Rachel's back. Too bad she's hooked on drugs. Hopefully Brooke bringing her to TH will make her better.moreless
