  • This type of episode is the reason this is the best Teen Drama since 90210. This episode really put fun, drama, danger, happiness, and sadness all together in one. I guess this is the second best episode of the first season. It only gets better later on.moreless

    To Wish Impossible Things is the eighteenth episode of the first season and of the whole series. This episode was aired on the WB on April 13 of the year 2004. This is the episode of the boy toy auction. This episode really helped make this series and this season funky, fresh, and fun. This episode is unique because they provided drama and fun in the same episode which is really rare. This episode was just the beginning of showing how unique and fun this show is. These types of episode only get better. It is only the first season and there are four more to go.moreless

    wow there is alot of stuff reavealed about Nicki and Jake in this episode. I know that nicki is being fake but she keeps coming back and bothering Jake so it must be a sign so I don't know about that. "The internet sucks"! lol When Mouth said that i fell on the floor laughing it was so funny how he said that i'm sorry i just had to get that out there. I loved how Lucas and Haley hung out I thought that was cute. Lucas's reaction to Haley's tattoo was a little overbored in my opinion. I thought it was halerious that Jake was the mascot for the night Joe Devola was right I have to agree he did do an awesome job with that. Now to the brooke and that weird guy at the strip club I'm sorry guys but was that really necessary. I don't think that fitted anywhere with this episode at all in my opinion. I hated how Brooke just dropped the bombs on Lucas at the river court damn poor Lucas that must have sucked for him. I thought it was also weird that Paul Johanson had only one seen in this episode to my momory i didnt' see him in any other seen's I just thought that was a little weird anyways there's my opinion let me know what you think of itmoreless

    This episode is really funny at is one of the lighter episodes of the season. Tim and Deb are hilarious in this episode and when he drops his pants and has on his animal print underwear on and then Dan walks in the moment is just classic. I really can't stand Nikki and her and Jake were pretty annoying in this episode even though I really like Jake's character. Mouth and Brooke were good together and the scene with the lap dance was good. It was nice to see her finally realizing the consequences of her actions when she runs into some guy she had been with and then forgot about.
    Peyton and Nathan were sweet in this episode as they realize how far they have come from where they were at the beginning of the series. When Lucas sees them kissing at the end of the night it is a nice dramatic moment as well.moreless
