This was the worst episode of the show. Trust me, I live in Staten Island and they picked the girls who are the epitome of the girls who give Staten-Islanders a bad name. Its such a horrible stereotype, and a false one at that. Not every girl on Staten Island is Italian, must spend everyday in a tanning bed, runs around getting their nails done and talking like knock-off Brooklyn-ers. Its simply not the way it works. It was an abomination to watch, and now because of it, the people who watched the show now think Staten Island girls are nothing but spoiled rich b!tches with nothing better to do with their lives, which is true for maybe 1 out of every 20 girls on SI, but not for the rest of us.

The End of an Era. That about sums it up. The episode starts off where the last one left off, Haley going into labor. She gives birth to James Lucas Scott. Karen flatlines, but is able to be saved via a miracle. Next scenes pick up a few weeks later. Karen brings Lily to visit her father, Kieth. Which was a really sweet scene, but of course they had to incorporate ghost Kieth earlier, thats getting old. Then we see new parents Haley and Nathan being very overprotective obsessive parents. Deb practically had to beg them to go to a party. A party which was thrown by none other than Rachel Gattina. I love her, and I'm glad they brought her back, it was getting boring without her. My favorite scene was when Peyton starts feeling nostalgic and pretends that her car breaks down and calls Lucas to the exact same spot that they were in in the Pilot. It definitely signified their relationship coming full circle. Brooke and Chase decided to take the next step in their relationship ..in the back of his car no less. I was happy to see that Brooke was happy and not pining after Lucas for once in her life. Haley asking Lucas to be James' godfather was so cute. And Lucas decides to take a coaching position for Nathan's team along with Whitey. The Spice Girls dance made the episode, i loved it, it was nice seeing all the girls get along for once. The code scene at the rivercourt was amazing. The boys/girls basketball game with all the couples, was an amazing way to end the episode. And they all promised they'd be friends forever, and hopefully they will. The final scene is of Nathan and Lucas playing one on one much like the Pilot, minus the violence. Perfect way to end the episode, mirroring the Pilot once again. It was a fantastic way to End the Era of High School and move onto another chapter in the young lives of the characters we have all grown to know and love.

I really do not see the point in a show such as this one. Hmm.. i wonder why i dont see the point , maybe because . . . there isnt one! Its completely and utterly pointless. Okay, I like the Pussycat Dolls, and I'm not against them, but why in the world do they need to have a show to find a new girl to add to their collection. I mean, I think out of the six or seven they had, only one of them really sang. The rest of them stand there in their scantily clad outfits and dance around. Therefore, they could do fine with just Nicole and deep six the rest of them. Why they needed to add another .. i dont know, fear of odd numbers maybe? and now this show is renewed for a second season!?!?! they dont need another one!!! that time slot could easily be used for a more interesting show that actually has a point. Stupid!! Seriously, television networks will put anything on the air these days. Horrible! Stupid! Pointless!

Throughout this entire episode, we kept learning new things about the characters. We learned that Lucas has written a complete draft of his novel, we learned that the idea of being a father scares Nathan, we discovered that Shelly wasnt so "clean" in her past,that Skills' future was a factory if he didnt get into college, and we learned that Bevin has dreamt about being a guy. This episode,although it had may serious issues, had some hilarious scenes, like the character imersonations. Nathan's Borat impression was histerical, so were Haley's Marykate Olsen, Dawsons Creek and Scarface impressions, Ive never laughed so hard in my life. I have to say, I was a little dissappointed that we didnt get more Lucas/Peyton or Nathan/Haley scenes, but I can see why, because it didnt really go with the plot-line for this episode, it was more about spending time with different people and learning things about them. In the end, it was still a great episode!!!!!!!!

Okay, so many things were going on in this episode, that were all equally amazing! .. First of all, Lucas and Peyton are now together. The scene when Brooke convinces Lucas that Peyton is the girl for him and he goes and tells her that the girl he wants to be with when his dreams come true, and they kiss with all the confetti falling around them = priceless moment!!!!!! and baby naley is a boy!! hopefully it survives. The Ravens won the championship!! which is amazing .. that basketball game was so exciting! The ending scenes made me actually cry! It was incredibly well written!!!! The end when Daunte hits haley with his car, and nathan goes after him and beats him up .. i was relieved because hes finally gone!! This episode was the best episode so far!!!!!!!
