    Wow. Great episode! This was really a series classic. It was so well written! I loved it! Nathan has a party, where Mouth ends up losing his virginity to Clean Teen Shelley. I couldn't believe it! I loved that Brooke almost got caught cheating. I can't believe Rachel did that for her! That was so sweet! I loved when Haley threw the drink in Rachel's face for getting her fired, and then slapped her for trying to sleep with Nathan. They almost fought. I thought it was nice when Brooke and Nathan had that friendly moment under the sprinklers. I never knew they were together! The sex tape thing rocked! 10/10.moreless

    Ok let me just start by saying wow to Mark Shawarn for this episode! I thought it was amazing! anyways cudos to James Laffery and Sophia Bush on that seen with the bench outside of the house. I felt really bad for Payton. I mean she just got her friend back then her friend went and did something like that... that must have sucked. and yes Chase is annoying the hell outta me.. i don't like him he was also annoying on "The Hills" if anyone remembers that. but I don't know maybe it's just me anyways I loved the Lucas and Payton seen in her room after Lucas tells Payton to back off then she gets pissed for taking her side. I would have gotten pissed as well. also i don't remember if it was this episode or the next episode but the catfight between Brook and Payton was halerious! YES finally we see some good old fashion fighting on the show between the two of them! but somehow over the years Payton let it go and they became friends again. well that's my opinionmoreless

    Principal Turner finds out that Rachel is the one who stole the test because Rachel switches hers and Brooke's quizzes for calculus. Skills, Nathan and Mouth decide to throw a party after finding tons of booze at the house. Deb is in rehab and is now allowed to have visitors. Nathan visits and gives her tough love. Haley loses her tutoring job because she was tutoring Rachel. Shelly breaks up with Mouth. At the party, they hook up and Mouth loses his virginity to her, but she says that they can't see each other. Peyton and Lucas decide to have sex. Dan wants to be in Lucas' life more. Brooke gets an invitation for Victoria's Secret to franchise Clothes Over Bros. Dan asks Karen to the prom as chaperones. There is a sex tape of Nathan and Brooke from the year before and many people are shocked and hurt.

    This episode was great! I can't believe Nathan and Brooke! I never pictured them together. I love Mouth and Shelly together, but I wish that Mouth would've waited until marriage and Shelly would've waited too. I love the idea of Clean Teens, but I wish they stuck to their principles. This episode gets a 9.5 out of 10!moreless

  • Deserves a 10 for the simple fact that Brooke and Nathan finally get screentime together.

    This is the episode many Brooke/Nathan fans (of them being friends or potential lovers) had been waiting for. It is a somewhat shocking episode, for the following reasons - Haley goes psycho for a moment and gives Rachel a really hard slap across the face. She deserved it I guess for all the time she was irritating in the previous season, but doesn't deserve it in the sense that Rachel is covering for Brooke about cheating on the calculus exam and getting Haley fired from the tutor center.

    The scene with Brooke and Nathan outside on the bench. It is a really sweet moment, and in fact it is my personal favorite scene from the entire season, because well, I hated Season 4 unfortunately. James and Sophia are proven to work well together here; they have a nice chemistry, and play off each other well. Especially in the moment where they playfully grab each other when the sprinklers are set off. Note to Mark Schwahn - Brathan works. We need more. (And no it doesn't have to be in the romantic sense, why can't these two friends just be shown to actually be friends??)

    Ha ha, the real shocker. Well, not if you'd seen the spoilers beforehand which I had, but somehow I still didn't believe them until I saw it for myself. It turns out a tape from years back is still lurking around, never before seen by the group, and is rather ironically entitled Nathan Scores. The gang are having a party at Nathan's house and put the video on-screen assuming it wil show clips of Nathan's basketball training. Wrong. It is... Nathan and Brooke, kissing on Dan and Deb's bed, getting ready to have sex. Peyton - self-involved as she is - is rather upset about her make-out session with Lucas upstairs being put on hold by everyone shouting about the tape, assuming it's her and Nathan. The group collide, and look totally stunned to see who's with Nathan on the tape. And when I see the group, I mean literally everyone from the school. And perhaps people from other schools too - there are a lot of people at this party.

    Eventful episode, definitely memorable, well-acted on the most part. Oh and Mouth loses his virginity to clean tean Shelley. Who promptly leaves him afterwards. How nice of her.moreless

    I thought this episode was amazing and fantastic. I loved the fight scene between Haley and Rachel. That was awesome. I wonder if part of that was due to the hormones. Any way that was great. I can't believe Mouth lost his virginity. And that sex tape. I can't believe it. Although, if I remember correctly there something about the two of them sleeping together in the first season. I had forgotten about it till I saw the tape. One thing I don't like is how close Dan is trying to get to Karen. I wish they would talk a little bit more about Karen's pregnancy. Haley isn't the only who's having a baby. All in all, I think this a wonderful episode. There were a lot of things I didn't expect. And that is a great thing.moreless
