    When Michelle Branch & Jessica Harp from the band "The Wreckers" perform at TRIC, Haley realizes her passion is to pursue her music career. Meanwhile, Lucas decides to move in with Dan, straining his relationships with both Karen and Nathan. Brooke runs for student council president, but quickly realizes she is taking on more than she bargained for. Peyton and Jake's friendship grows stronger. Brooke finds out that Mouth broke her car window. Lucas gets his HCM results and aren't what they turn out to be. This episode is named after a song by The Ataris. It seems like everybody is going somewhere. Taylor leaves, Haley goes on tour with Chrism Brooke runs for student-body president, and Lucas agrees to move in with Dan if he promises to hide some painful sercets. What can I say about this episode? Another great episode. I love One Tree Hill, the writers have done so well, on making it an awesome show. Can't wait to see more.moreless

    This is one of the best episodes of the show and also one of the saddest. I could hardly believe that Hayley actually left Nathan. This sort of thing is the reason why people should not marry so young. They need time to grow up and do things. Otherwise they may come to regret it. I was afraid this might be the end for them when I saw it. At least things work out for them. It would have been a shame if they had gotten divorced. It would have been really sad. They are one of my favorite couples on the show.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • When Nathan looks at the emails on the laptop, the subject lines obviously suggest the letters were from Chris. However, the screen says the letters were sent TO Chris Keller. Doesn't make much sense that Haley would be writing Chris "Come sing with me! Your audience awaits!" etc... Edit
    • The bracelet that we see in the flashback which is the original one from first season is different than the one we see on the table in the second season. Edit
    • When Lucas is about to leave Brooke's house, the camera is pointing at him. Then it changes and is behind is right shoulder and you see that he has his backpack on because you see the strap on his shoulder. But Lucas never picked up his backpack. Edit

    • Taylor: I know what it's like to search for something more. It's why I'm always running. But then I've never had a Nathan to come home to. Edit
    • Brooke: I can't believe that little bitch went negative. Peyton: I can't believe she beat you to it. Edit
    • Chris: Looking for an autograph? Nathan: No, actually, I was looking to kick your ass. But then I realized... why bother? There's nothing here for you. Haley sees what you really are: a pathetic poser. I just wanted to let you know. Chris: You're wrong. You're just trying to silence that voice inside your head. Yeah, you know the one. It's growing louder every day. It's saying "We're drifting apart. I'm losing her." Nathan: Actually, it's saying "shut this guy up, once and for all." Chris: Okay, maybe I'm wrong? Maybe she does love you. Nathan: She does. Chris: What if that's not enough? Edit
