so, here's what happened

last night on One Tree Hill:
Nathan and Haley DID get professional help with their relationship--a very snotty, ridiculous woman with a VERY fake English accent--and have resumed sharing a bed (and bodily fluids) yea!
Brooke made an excellent case why her mother should have been sterilized as an adolescent, and a less-than-excellent case why she herself would make a good mother. Now I know as well as you that there's no REAL reason why Brooke wouldn't make a good parent, but she seemed to have no idea what the adoption agent was looking for. For God's sake, there's a full bar sitting out, and she doesn't even have a nursery yet! Oh, and TURN OFF THE PHONE, Brooke.
Peyton had a heart-to-heart with Max, the record store guy whose existence still confuses me, and discovered that she still does love Lucas (duh) and is a big pathetic mess.
Lindsey is going to edit Lucas's book? What? I understand Lucas's point--he wants her back (because he hasn't yet realized what he really wants or why he feels so conflicted)--but what about Lindsey? She KNOWS what Lucas's agenda is, even if he doesn't. She KNOWS he still loves Peyton. She KNOWS she has absolutely no chance at a future with him. Sheesh. What is she thinking?
Lucas had a very strange talk with Andy that I believe was supposed to mirror the conversation between Peyton and Max, but seemed kind of forced and, um WRONG. So first, Nathan's telling Lucas to go after Lindsey, and now Andy? Hello? Haven't these people been PAYING ATTENTION? (And HELLO! Peyton totally stuck up for Nathan when Haley went AWOL, so he should return the favor. In other words, he should encourage Lucas to listen to his heart instead of his pride. Now there's something Nathan knows a little something about.) I'll bet Karen wasn't in the episode because she gets it. She knows Lucas still loves Peyton, and she would have told him so. (And speaking of people not in the episode.... Mouth, Skillz, Millicent, Owen... They're still on the show, right?)
Dan is creepy. Pervy? No. Just scary and REALLY irritating (and apparently still rich). The boys fighting him was crazy pathetic, and his hanging around is even worse. Yeah, okay, THANKS, I suppose, for rescuing Jaime, but we're done now and you can go. Buh-bye.
