    Looking for some fun, Brooke and Peyton crash a college party, but things turn ugly when one of the guys in the dorm drugs Peyton. After Brooke calls Lucas for help, the two bond over caring for a sleeping Peyton, prompting Lucas to look at Brooke in a new light. Meanwhile, Haley gives Nathan another chance (thanks to Brooke) and the two go on their first date. I love the scene at the start with Brooke and Peyton, talking about everything. They are awesome friends, well I like them a lot. I love the way Nathan wants to be okay with Hayley again. I love the scene where Brooke and Peyton are shopping and making plans for their night. I love the scene between Deb and Karen. I love the way Brooke comes up to Nathan saying sorry, and then she is planning something for both Nathan and Hayley. I love the scene between Brooke and Hayley too. I love the whole party scene storyline, with Brooke looking for somebody, and then with Peyton getting drugged. I love the scene at the Riverside with the boys playing basketball. I love whole storyline with Nathan and Hayley, especially when there doing Brookes date. I love Brooke's storyline with the high school boy. I love the way Brooke saves Peyton and then calls Lucas who then kicks the other boys .... I love the way Brooke and Lucas are getting along while they're looking after Peyton. I love the way Nathan messes up, and then he is throwing rocks at her window, but then it all works out in the end, with the kiss. I love the whole Karen leaving for Italy good storyline. I loved the ending of the episode with everything coming together. All in all another awesome episode.moreless

I love how she tried to fix everything she messed up when she was drunk. "Hello, Abercrombie!" LMAO! 10/10.moreless

    I love this episode,it sees two people who r meant 2 b with each other get together. It was just great, u can tell nathan is tryin 2 be different 4 Haley. The actors just have a great on screen chem and it make the fictional relationship easier 2 relate 2. It's a good episode for Brooke and Lucas, who r great 2gether, but not a great episode for Leyton, and they are destined to be. The scene with Naley is brilliant, brilliant on screen and a great chemistry with Joie and James. Brooke and Lucas have a great on screen relationship and Chad and Sophia have great chemistry as wellmoreless

  • This episode was very painful to watch because Peyton was about to get raped and because Haley gave Nathan another chance but he blew it. I also like this episode because Brooke and Lucas begin their on and off relationship.moreless

    The Search for Something More is the eighth episode and it aired on November 11, 2003. This show was really cool because Lucas and Brooke began their off and on going relationship by likening each other and getting to know each other. Peyton and Brooke also went to this college party and Peyton was about about to get raped, which was very sad and disturbing. Haley also gave Nathan another chance but the idiot that he is blew it by showing that he cared what his friends thought about him and her. This episode was the first episode where the two pair ups separate, Brooke with Lucas, and Peyton and Nathan with Haley.moreless
