    Brooke and Peyton finally rekindle their friendship, Nathan's past mistakes continue to haunt him and Haley, and Lucas hears a shocking confession from the witness to Keith's murder. I really liked this episode a lot. I've been waiting a long time to see this episode, since I saw Episode 17 a long time ago, in like October or November. But I liked this episode, especially with Peyton and Ian. I find it unrealistic that Ms. Brown would keep her front door unlocked. This was definitely an important episode for the show. It was so good! Brooke wasn't really featured so much, nor was Haley, at least in the first half anyway.moreless

    Nathan and Lucas must deal with the investigation on the point shaving. Lucas turns himself in, even though Nathan told him to do nothing. Nathan finally pubicly confesses for it. Peyton sees Psycho Derek everywhere. She goes to see him, but he tells her that it's her fault. Brooke helps her through it. They find information on him and use it to release themselves from him. Lucas sees Abby, but her mother makes her lie to cover stuff up. Dan feels guilty and buys a gun. He goes to Abby's, but he admits he was wrong. Abby tells Lucas what really happened on that fateful day. Karen and Dan kiss and Lucas sees it.

    This was a great episode! Alison, who played Abby, did a really good job! I love her character! I'm glad that Peyton might finally be over Psycho Derek. This episode gets a 10 out of 10!moreless

    I think all I can say after that is wow.

    That episode was crazy good. I think I cried like five times though. Naley was really cute as always. Ian and Dan were heartbreaking, I just wanted to go up and give them a hug. Lol I just realized Ian and Dan are just one letter apart. Maybe they have a lot more in common than we think. I jumped like ten feet off of my couch when Abby opened the door and bam there was Dan. I was really thinking that Lucas was gonna say something about Dan at Nathan's Press conference. Oh and when Dan set Kieth's grave on fire it was terrible.moreless

    It wasn't the greatest episode of OTH, but it actually has done a lot to create stories for future episodes. In this episode you can see how much the mystery of Keith's death has been tormenting him. Nathan also finishes his complete 180, from selfish jock to becoming a worthy father figure by revealing to the public that it was him, and not Lucas who had shaved those points in the semi-final game. The consequences and future don't seem bright for Nathan at this point. I found it kind of corny that after everything that has happened, they just rekindled Brooke and Peyton's friendship like nothing had happened. Not realistic at all. All in all, it wasn't too compelling, but a good episode nonetheless.moreless

    • Karen: Dan? Dan: I've done some horrible things, unforgivable things. Lucas didn't need a father: he had one. He had a person who helped raise the shame of my cowardice. Everything I've touched I've diminished: Deb's life, Nathan's talent... Keith. Karen: You're not without redemption. I've seen it... I see it. Dan: It's not true, it's not true. I just wanna go back, I wanna go back and grab that kid I used to be and just shake him and say "Stop, stop! Just stop!" I want to wake up from this nightmare. I want to breathe again. I want to breathe again, Karen. Can you help me breathe? Can you help me quiet these voices in my head that say I've lost you? Because I know that I have. If only I would've stayed with you. Edit
    • Dan: My brother Keith was always better than me. He had a better heart. People liked him. No... they loved him. Karen loved him. But Karen was mine. She was supposed to be mine. Mrs. Brown: She (Abby) was just a girl that went to school that day. Abby: I hope you burn in hell. Dan: So do I. Edit
    • Nathan: (on taking the blame for the point shaving scandal) It doesn't matter that for the rest of time people are gonna talk? They're gonna say you disgraced the game, Luke. That doesn't matter to you? Lucas: Let them say what they want to say about me. It's what they say about Jimmy Edwards that matters to me. And what they say about Keith. But this... at least I know the truth about this. Nathan: Peyton thinks I'm a martyr. I can't stop this, Luke. I'm this close, and I've got the baby. I can't. You shouldn't have said anything. Edit
