Dan did go to far, even though Keith slept with his wife, who was supposed to be divorced from Dan. However, he did have a heart attack. I can't believe Felix did that to Peyton! :( I loved Nicki's appearance in the beginning. Good episode.moreless

    I loved this episode for so so many reasons.

    Firstly, we got to see how Keith would adjust to the exit of Jules and unfortunatly he doesn't take it so well and the acting when he is with Dan at Dan Scott Motors is incredible!

    I also am getting into the Jeyton storyline and then they brought back Nikki! I was hoping so much that they would finally find each other and she would be stuck in Seattle! But then again, this is Tree Hill, no happy endings allowed!

    I hate that in this episode you really start to see Nathan and Haley's relationship crashing and burning around them.

    An excellent episoe with amazing performances!

Meanwhile, Nathan chances Haley in the hope of bringing her home. Brooke decides to move in with Karen. This episode is named after a song by Nine Inch Nails. Jules has left. And it looks like others are leaveing, too: Brooke to California, Felix to military school, Nathan looking for Haley, Jake and Jenny on the run from Nikki, and Keith to anywhere but Tree Hill. Another great episode. I cant wait to watch more.moreless

    Brooke doesn't want to move at all. Nicki claims that she got custody of Jenny. Keith finds out from Lucas and Karen that Jules was paid by Dan. Nathan is on the road for Haley. He has flashbacks of them during his drive. Dan admits to Keith about his plan and Keith gets really angry. Karen wants to talk to Keith. Lucas gets Karen to convince Brooke's parents to let her stay with Karen. Lucas is staying with Dan. Nathan sees Haley, but it seems that she chooses music over him, so he leaves. Anna finds out that Felix is the one who tagged Peyton's locker. With this information, she tells the school and Peyton. When Brooke finds out from Peyton about it, she breaks things off with Felix. Anna reveals the truth about her to Felix and Felix is going to military school. They both take off their wedding rings. Jake is not going to run from Nicki this time.

    This episode was great! It's cool that Paul, who plays Dan, directed it! He's pretty good! I loved the flashbacks of Nathan and Haley! This episode gets a 10 out of 10!moreless
