For the first time in a long time, this show was fun...

9.5

"Superb"

By Kadodian, Apr 06, 2012

Haley is in danger of losing her recording company. Nathan is accused of sleeping with another woman, who's about to go public. Brooke has picked the new face clothes over bros, and she's unusal. Mia and Dan return, and so does a very surprising guest. Quinn dosen't know what she wants.

The episode ends with surprising developments. It's hilarious! It really had it's OMG moments, and the touching speeches One Tree Hill is famous for were included beautifully but, it really felt light, and colorful and entertaining. Something we hadn't had for a while now.

My favorite part was when Brooke stood up to Julian's dad. So touching!

Alot better than the first episode. In many ways, this should have been the season premiere.moreless

Another good episode.

"Good"

By thefanof, Jun 23, 2010

Before I get any further into the review I need to point out how awesome Haley's impressions of Peyton and Lucas were. Easily the best little gag on One Tree Hill in a long time and more proof why Bethany Joy Galeotti is the best actress on The CW (I know, that doesn't really say much, but she's great).

And in classic Mark Schwahn fashion we have another cliffhanger ending that leaves us counting the days until Monday (I think we're six days away right now). Even though they already did a very similar storyline with Nathan and Carrie, this should be a great argument with Haley come episode 703.

Speaking of great actors on The CW (Galeotti, no, no not James Lafferty) Paul Johannson is doing an excellent job with his ever changing Dan Scott character. His scenes with the homeless man were great television and I think we were all shocked when Rachel was revealed to be his wife and not Deb.

The little comic relief stuff between Skills, Jamie and Allison I could do without, but I think it is clear that for the most part One Tree Hill has gotten its groove back after I considered giving up on it last year.moreless

Season 7, Episode 2

8.7

"Great"

By TvFreak7, Sep 25, 2009

Brooke and Millicent meet the new face of Clothes over Bros and are a little shocked at her behavior. Dan is now a motivational speaker and shows off his new wife, which is surprisingly Rachel Qatina, which I am so happy that shes back and I hope we see more of her and that she has more interactions with Brooke, Haley, Nathan, Mouth, and Skills. Pretty much the One Tree Hill original cast. Haley tries to save Red Bedroom Records with the help of Mia. When Haley imitated Lucas and Peyton was amazing, she did really good and it was hilarious. Nathan's scandal gets worse. Clayton meets with her and gets a envelope from her and tells Nathan that three months ago they got really wasted and Nathan slept with her and now shes three months pregnant, the envelope had an ultrasound picture. Nathan then comes home and tells Haley he has to tell her something. Can't wait till next week.moreless

I still wish Lucas and Peyton were around, but so far this season is going pretty good.

8.0

"Great"

By GilmoreFan86, Sep 23, 2009

So, this episode was definitely better than the first. Even though it's only the second episode I think it is building up to be a great season. So first off, Jamie, Skills, and Lauren at the beach was so funny. I love that he still has the walkie-talkie and the line about the leash was so cute. I totally loved Haley's scene where she was practicing discussing the issue with the record label with Lucas and Peyton. It was cute and it made me miss them a little less. Mia was awesome by the way. Kate totally kicked ass in that scene.

I loved the way Brooke stood up to Julian's dad. It was so like her to defend someone else like that. And Alex is hilarious. She is going to be a great character to have around. I so knew her speech about the dress was an act, but I never expected it to be lines from the movie Brooke was watching.

Now for the biggies from this episode: Dan and Rachel---Eww!! Deb and Skills was one thing, but Dan and Rachel. I put my hand in front of my face every time they kissed. This is just gross. Rachel needs to find some new DNA to go after. (Lucas, Nathan, Cooper, Dan). This is ridiculous and does anyone believe for a minute that Dan would seriously marry someone that Cooper hooked up with. Dan hates Cooper so why would he want to have sex with someone Cooper was with too. There is totally something else going on their for both of them. Even though her family has money I think all Rachel saw with Dan were dollar signs and a short life expectancy. And I think Dan just saw arm candy.

Now as for Nathan's situation. I hate this story line. Nathan and Haley have both been tempted to stray from their relationship and really it's tired. Mark needs to come up with something new to do with them. But, since this story line is there I will say that I think this Renee woman is full of it. She may really be pregnant but it's not Nathan's. He has been tempted to stray from Haley, but he never has so why would he start now. I bet this woman had sex with some random guy at that party and she doesn't remember who it was, but remembers that it was a party for Nathan and figures he has money so she'll say it's his baby. Let me be the first to say it, but I will bet you anything that this baby is Clay's. That's just my thought. I've got this feeling that Renee and Clay hooked up at that party and since Clay doesn't remember Renee is taking it out on Nathan because she knows it will affect more people that way.moreless

Better than the premier but still not great.

6.0

"Fair"

By stewie1423, Sep 22, 2009

Yes this was better than the 7th season premier but it still has big flaws. For instance Quinn seems like she could be a good and interesting character but nothing more was done with her here. Yes we heard more about David but I want a proper storyline. The Julian/His dad/Brooke storyline was a bit too like Brooke and her mom. I guess they were aiming for this but it was a bit weird...I'm not too fond of Julian either.

Jamie, Skills and Lauren are fairly pointless characters. However I did enjoy Haley trying to keep Red Bedroom Records open...it was really funny when she pretended to be both Lucas and Peyton. That Melinda woman was one big clich though...Nathan's storyline with Clay is quite interesting but I'd actually prefer if he did sleep with her. That'd be some good drama.

The Dan storyline was just strange really. The Rachel/Dan pairing is pretty odd to say the least and his talks with the homeless guy were hardly entertaining. The model/actress Alex was fairly amusing. It was a good twist that she just copied the speech she made to Brooke from the film. I liked the last scene with Nathan about to tell Haley about everything. I'm just hoping we get more development on Quinn and some drama too. Still not good enough.moreless

- Alex: BTW, I am starving. Is there any food? Millie: Well, I read that you only eat organic foods, so we have an entire organic feast waiting at the hotel. Alex: Yeah, I just made that stuff up. (to limo driver) Can you drive through a Mickey D's? I could totally eat the butt off a skunk right now.

- Brooke: I have this poster hanging in my living room, Paul. Of course I'm upset. And the only reason that it's hanging there is because you took him to see that movie, and for one day, that boy felt close to his father. He felt loved and appreciated. And the sad part is that there was only one of those days. Because in my book, the day that he didn't feel that way should be the unique one. Fix it.
