    Brooke's finally 18! This was a great episode. However, I feel that the Brooke seeing Peyton and Lucas together thing is getting a little overused. Still, I'm loving season four so far. I didn't really like too much that Nathan saw Keith and he saved him from the car wreck, even though I know he wasn't physically there. Brooke's thinking of making maternity clothes for her clothing line, which is pretty cool, since she and Karen are both pregnant. Lucas' old crib was a little small, I think. Rachel sets her sights on Nathan, which won't be pretty if Haley ever finds out. Great episode, and also great episode for Cooper, who leaves in this episode.moreless

    Brooke's birthday is here. Rachel is the only one who really acknowledges it. Lucas tells Peyton that he is really in love with Brooke. Peyton tells him of a birthday ritual that she and Brooke do every year on Brooke's birthday. She also tries calling Derek, but he hangs up on her. Later, when she and Lucas wait for Brooke at the store, Brooke shows up to see them having fun. Derek comes by Peyton's house. Lucas gets Whitey to see Skills. Whitey accepts Skills to the team. Nathan tells Lucas that he saw Keith in the water too. Rachel takes an interest in Nathan. Deb is back on her pills and her gun accidentally goes off in the cafe. Dan sees MURDERER everywhere he goes. He also builds Karen a crib for her baby. Cooper leaves. Brooke or Haley might be pregnant. Deb quits from Karen's partnership after Karen wants her to go to rehab.

    This episode was great! I'm liking Lucas and Peyton, but I still feel bad for Brooke. I don't want Rachel to like Nathan. I really want to know what happened in the creek that day. Deb is a real psycho chick. This episode gets a 10 out of 10 from me!moreless

    So Brooke's eighteen and realised she's screwed up i'm guessing that by that she means getting pregnant or possibly her break up with Lucas ..?

    Rachel is back to her manipulative self after further rejection from cooper.Her sudden interest in Nathan is unsurprising after her comment on his similarities to cooper.An interest because of the latter or genuin interest i'll go with the first.

    Deb is on pills again resulting in a near fatal accident with a gun.I've never really understood Deb, why give up a perfectly successful buisness for the pills..? Karen will be there for her in the end it's inevitable, they've been through too much to spiral out of control now.

    Glad to see Skillz have more involvment , his character adds much of the comedy and like whitey said he's just another Lucas trying to make their way.moreless

    I thought that this was a really good episode. I liked that one of the characters is celebrating a birthday. I felt bad for Brooke because the only person she had to celebrate with was Racheal. I thought that her mug was cute. I also felt bad for Peyton because evan though it was not her birthday she was still hurting on this day because she has had a tradition with her and she can not be apart of. It was nice of Peyton to send Lucas in her place just in case Brooke showed up. I thought that it was funny that Brooke showed up at the very end to find Peyton and Lucas together.moreless

    So it's Brookes birthday, and she's turning 18 and spending this day with Rachel, for the first time without Peyton. But it was soo cool of Peyton to still shoplift her gift at the mall like they do every year! It's so sweet how Haley feels the need to help Nathan out so much b/c the way he feels about the accident, i think its soo cute =) Rachel shows an interest in Nathan, which makes me mad, she best back off! If she messes with Naley, im gonna be sooooo MAD! But she shows up at the hospital, for nathan, argh. Crack head Deb brings a gun into the cafe, which accidently goes off, shes stupid, and i really hate her character right now, more than anything! But I guess some people gotta play the bad guys huh? Well i loved this epidode, alogn with all the others! =) Can't wait for the next one!moreless

    • Lucas: You shoplift Brooke's birthday present? Peyton: Yeah, sort of, that's... okay, my dad's friends with the manager so I would just come home and tell him what we took and then we'd pay for it, but we never told Brooke she was all crazy for the juice so I just figured, maybe if you go in my place this year and you're not a complete bonehead in the romance department (smiles sadly) then maybe you've got a shot Lucas: And you've done this every year for how many years? Peyton: This would've been the tenth. Lucas: But she's pissed at you, so A) why would you help her? And B) What makes you think she's even gonna show up? Peyton: (softly) I'm not helping her, I'm helping you. Edit
