I'm kinda glad he didn't sleep with Taylor, since that's his sister-in-law. Yay for Anna and Darby. I like that Brooke and Lucas are living together. =] Haley wasn't in this episode, but I enjoyed this episode a lot anyway. =]moreless

    On his way home from seeing Haley, Nathan stops to visit Taylor hoping for some fun and maybe more. Meanwhile, Anna gets a surprise visit from her ex-girlfriend and is inspired to tell her parents about her sexuality. Also, Lucas works with Andy to bring Dan down, Karen puts her foot down with Brooke. Peyton and Jake continue to hide baby Jenny from Nikki. This episode is named after a song by Frank Sinatra. Still in his road trip, Nathan stays overnight with Taylor. Others are choosing their own roads: Jake turns himself in to the police, Anna tells her parents that she is gay and Lucas plots to bring down Dan. Another awesome episode. I cant wit until I watch more.moreless

    This was a good enough episode, I didn't like the whole Nathan/Taylor thing and was glad that they didn't end up sleeping together. I didn't see why this was needed, sure to make Nathan realise he must move on, why did Taylor get involved. I didn't like the dancing on a the bar scene, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. Brooke getting grounded was an okay storyline, she was less annoying than usual but still she is by far not a character I like so, Bevin was funny!

    Lucas and Andy, I did find a bit weird and overdramatic, but it was entetaining enough, Dan being evil was enjoyable.
    I did like the Peyton/Jake/Niki thing and liked how it worked out, Jake being in prison is a little ahh because that is the only storyline I like, so hopefullt they'll do something good with her now.
    So overall it was alright!moreless

    Anna's "friend" Darby comes for a visit. Nathan is driving home and he makes a stop at where Taylor is. Lucas sneaks around to see what Dan was hiding in the ceiling. It's tons of money and a notebook. He asks for Andy's help. Dan suspects that Lucas is sneaking around. Karen grounds Brooke and she is shocked. Nicki is still looking for Jenny and Jake decides to turn himself in at the police station. Peyton is devastated. Whitey has taken Jenny, so Nicki won't get her. Darby helps Anna realize that telling her parents is the best thing to do. Anna tells her parents that she is gay and she is now moving back to her boarding school. When Nathan gets home from partying with Taylor, Haley has left a message, but he deletes it before listening and takes his wedding ring off.

    This episode was great! I can't believe Nathan! I want them together so badly! Anna was brave, but I don't agree with homosexuality or bisexuality. I wonder what Dan is trying to hide. This episode gets a 10 out of 10 from me!moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In the scene where Anna comes to say goodbye to Lucas, you see the back of him and his bare arms are in plain view. When they switch the camera angle, you can see that he is wearing long, white sleeves. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Original International Air Dates: Turkey: Thursday, October 19, 2006 on CNBC-e Edit
    • Before this episode aired, fans were allowed to vote on an upcoming storyline online. The majority vote would decide whether Nathan should sleep with Taylor or not. Fortunately for Naley fans, the majority of people voted no. It was the first and only time One Tree Hill has allowed fans to have a say on storyline. Edit

    • Although credited, Bethany Joy Lenz (Haley James-Scott), Craig Sheffer (Keith Scott) and Barbara Alyn Woods (Deb Scott) do not appear in this episode.

      Lenz's voice is heard, however, in the final minutes of the episode when Nathan finally plays Haley's message on his answering machine. This marks the first episode in the series in which Keith doesn't appear at all (in the "final cut" or the deleted scenes).

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • There is a scene in which Taylor and her fellow workers dance on the bar to The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band, which mirrors a scene in the film Coyote Ugly in which the girls also dance to this song atop a bar. Edit
    • Lucas and Dan discuss Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty. Sherlock is the fictional creation of the author Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 19th/early 20th century, and is possibly the world's most famous fictional detective. The Professor, a 'criminal mastermind' is the best known anatagonist of Sherlock. Dan mentions the story, The Final Problem, in which Sherlock is killed when he, along with the Professor fall to their deaths whilst fighting, which was printed in 1893. Lucas also mentions The Hound of the Baskervilles, which was written in 1901, but set before Holmes 'death' and also includes the Professor. Edit
    • Episode Title: The Lonesome Road "The Lonesome Road" is a song by James Taylor in his album Dad Loves His Work Edit
