    Rachel invites the group to her family's cabin. Nathan swipes Haley's ring to re-propose. :) Haha, Rachel walks in on Brooke "brooke-ing" herself. AKA masturbating LMAO! That was funny! Then when Rachel hides the contents of a cabinet, people ask what's inside, and Rachel says to Brooke, "You know how people like to keep private matters private." LMAO the look on Brooke's face was priceless. :) It was a very entertaining episode. :) I really liked it. Brooke kissed Pete! Haha she thought she was dreaming and went for it. Haha, Haley sees Lucas with the ring. LMAO! I loved this episode. :)moreless

    Lucas, Nathan, Brooke, Haley, Rachel, Mouth, Peyton, Skills, Bevin and Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy stay at Rachel's lodge for the weekend. They all have a really fun time. Rachel and Brooke start fighting again. Peyton has fun with Pete. Mouth and Rachel make up. Nathan proposes to Haley again with the help of Lucas and Brooke. Bevin and Skills get lost in the woods. Karen blames Dan for Keith's death by shoving the past in his face. The gang heals from the past experiences that have been going on.

    This was a cool episode! It seemed like they really had a good time there! Moira Kelly was really good in her last scene! It was weird having Pete Wentz there, but sort of funny with the make-up scene. I give this episode 10 out of 10!moreless

    i love this episode so much.. for one, pete's in it, and i loove fall out boy too. also though, it rocks. its like when you watch it, you get all these emotions. when nathan proposed again, you think its really sweet.. and when brooke "brookes" herself, you think its really crazy.. also when skills and bevin get lost, you think: man, she's really dumb.. and its really funny... so anyway, it just rocks coz i think this was the first ever episode of one tree hill where i couldn't stop laughing...:) so, watch it, i totally recommend it! and I LOVE IT.moreless

    Refreshing!!! And so beautiful allthough there are some bad memories, everybody is recovering and that is sooooo gooood!!! I might say 1 point for Rachel(and for her father :P ) genius idea to go somewhere togeder! Every couple seems so happy and in love, and you just can say: "Aaaahhh ;;) so sweet!!!".

    Great thing Nathan made for Hailey, and I'm sure it's gonna be one hell of a wedding there :D! I can't wait!!!

    Still one thing bothers me what is it with Karen?!?! Somehow I feel sorry for her but it's just me or she shouldn't react like this! Even thou I liked the look on Dan's face when she accused him for murder! My God he looked frightened and disoriented! A part of Keith's pay back(a very small part)!!! Lesson of this episode: Sometimes you just have to let it go...moreless

    • Rachel: You better grab a bed. The good ones are going fast. Mouth: The couch is fine with me. Rachel: Mouth, don't be stupid. Tell you what, why don't you just bunk with me? Mouth: Like I said, I'm good. Rachel: So, that's how it's gonna be? Mouth: You don't think I know what this weekend's about? This is about you trying to relieve your guilt over the time capsule. Rachel: If you hate me so much, why did you even come? Mouth: I came for my friends, especially Lucas. But make no mistake. I'm here for everybody but you. Edit
    • Lucas: Man, this is nice. What does Rachel's dad do for a living, anyway? Brooke: I don't know. Maybe he's like Tony Soprano. That would explain her personality. Lucas: Look, Rachel did a very nice thing by inviting us here. Maybe this would be a good weekend to take it easy on her. Brooke: But isn't the point of this weekend for us to get back to normal? If Rachel and I aren't back at each other's throats, it's like the terrorists have won ... Look at you. Lucas: What? Brooke: Your smile, I've missed it. Lucas: Well, then, here's something to make you smile. My latest letter. Brooke: Yay, more mail! Lucas: Well, this one I really thing you're gonna like. Brooke: This weekend is so gonna pay off for you. Edit
    • Nathan: I have a feeling this is gonna be a great weekend. Mouth: Yeah, it will be kind of nice to get away. Skills: Yeah, hopefully it'll get everybody to stop talking about you know what for a while. Haley: Hey, does anybody know anything about this place we're going to? Peyton: All Rachel said is that it's some kind of cabin. Brooke: Does Rachel really have to come? Can't we just leave her? Peyton: Considering it's her family's place, I don't really think we have an option. Brooke: I'm just saying think about it. Rachel: Hey, party people. Bevin: Hey, baby, you ready to conquer the great outdoors? Skills: If you say so. Lucas: Skills! Nathan: He didn't sound very enthusiastic. Bevin: Yeah, Skills isn't really the outdoor type. Peyton: That's okay, Pete isn't either, and he's still gonna try to meet us out there. Haley: Who's Pete? Bevin: Fall Out Boy. Brooke: He's Peyton's imaginary friend. Peyton: Brooke, he's not imaginary. You saw us together at the concert. Brooke: And now he loves you. Wasn't it nice of Pete to put your bag in the car? Peyton: You guys, he's coming. Skills: Hey, you know what? Kanye rolling through, too. Bevin: Skills, we are only gonna be gone for two nights. What is in that thing? Skills: Look, baby, if I'm going to be in the middle of the woods, I need all of my stuff. CD, DVD, MP3, my pillow. Peyton: Wait, wait. But you know we're not staying in the woods. There's a cabin. Rachel: Think less rustic. Skills: How much less rustic? Edit
