    Haley is surprised when her older sister Taylor comes to town, but not as shocked as Nathan, who recognizes Taylor from a past tryst. Brooke and Felix decide to become an official couple. Jake makes a special visit to Peyton. Anna tells Lucas a shocking secret. I hate Chris Keller for kissing Haley. Hehe, Taylor. "Wanna grab that?" Haha. I don't see the point of Jake returning. It was stupid that Lucas called his cousins in Savannah, worried. I really liked how the episode began. However, Deb shouldn't have to apologize for saying she didn't sleep with Keith. Karen and Keith aren't together, and she rejected his proposal, so it is none of Karen's business. Deb should screw whoever she wants! I like Jules, hehe. Good episode, I guess.moreless

    I thought this episode really brought out Anna and Felix's charahcter. I loved how Jake laid in bed with Payton then the rain stopped. i loved that that seen i thought that was really sweet. I also loved when Haley came home and Nathan scared the crap outta her when she walked in. i thought that was really funny. i loved that Juelz is working for Tric i think it would be good for her too bad she turned out to be a fraud though. I loved it when Payton showed Jake Tric i loved his reaction. I hated the fact that Jake saw Haley kissing Chris that must have sucked! I love how Brooke and Felix are a couple but i hate how he treats her in the end though. anyways thats my opinion.moreless

    Haley is surprised when her older sister Taylor comes to town, but not as shocked as Nathan, who recognizes Taylor from a past tryst. Brooke and Felix decide to become boyfriend and girlfriend. Jake makes a special visit to Peyton. Anna tells a secret to Lucas. This episode is named after a song by Blues Traveler. Return to Tree Hill. Haley's irresponsible sister Taylor moves in with the young couple, putting more strain on their strained marriage. And Peyton's world brightens up when Jake turns up...with an unexpected request. I really enjoyed this episode it was awesome. I don't know who Jake is, because I haven't watched season one of One Tree Hill, but I'm so happy he has turned up, all thanks to Lucas. I really started worrying about Peyton so maybe Jake will help her out I'm not sure. I dont know what to think of Taylor yet, but I'm glad there is a new character. All in all another awesome episode.moreless

    Haley decides not to go on the bus with Chris, but she kisses him. Haley's older sister, Taylor, drops by. She somewhere to stay. Nathan recognizes her, but can't put his finger on it. Peyton and Anna talk and suddenly, Anna kisses her. She confesses that she is bisexual. Anna also tells Lucas. Brooke and Felix start their relationship as boyfriend/girlfriend. Jake and Peyton are really happy and Jake invites her on a road trip! Nathan tells Lucas that he remembers Taylor because that was the first girl he slept with. Karen forgives Deb. Lucas finds out that Dan hired Jules to lead Keith on and then break his heart. She says that she really is in love with him though. Karen suspects Andy is having an affair.

    This was a great episode! Anna being bisexual is a little too weird for me though. Taylor is an interesting character. This episode gets a 10!moreless

    • As Andy sits, to eat his sandwich with Karen, he closes his laptop. But when the shot changes, it is visibly open again, at the right of the shot. Edit
    • Lucas said that Taylor James was a senior when he and Nathan were freshmen, making them three years apart in school. Since Nathan and Lucas are in the 11th grade now, this must mean that Taylor is in her second year of college. Edit
    • When Nathan and Lucas are at the river court, for a split second, Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) can be seen on the right side, waiting for his cue to join the scene. Edit

    • Peyton: I thought I was having a bad dream, only to wake up and find out it's real. But I know that you have to go.
      Jake: Last night, you said you were feeling weak. Let me show you something I use when I'm feeling weak. (Jake hands Peyton a piece of paper, which he then quotes from)'If my hopes could bring you home, you and Jenny would be with me now.'
      Peyton: Is this the first e-mail I sent you?
      Jake: It's like, I'd be working one of those jobs, or feeling like I was gonna be on the run forever, and I'd read those words...and it's like this sudden calm would wash over me. You are so strong Peyton. You don't even know it. I mean, you got me through some pretty dark days. And, I've been thinking that if I can get all that from some words on a piece of paper, just imagine what it would be like to have the real thing every day. I'm just, tired of running Peyton. Come with me. Let's bring Jenny back home.
      Peyton: Yeah?
      Jake: Yeah. Edit
