OTH
One Tree Hill made a great compact on Wednesday, bringing us some really great stories. The love triangle between Lucas, Brooke and Peyton is now slowly fading, as Lucas and Peyton’s feelings for each other are now made obvious. However, Peyton’s reluctancy to kiss Lucas is a definite conflict for them, but not one that needs questioning. The writers have put Peyton through some large emotional turmoil these past few years, having her lose both of her mothers, being alone most of the time because of her dad’s job, almost losing Brooke over Lucas, and again being labeled as a betrayer because of her loving feelings for Lucas. Then, finding her brother, only to soon learn that he is secretly a physcotic stalker, and her real brother is, as Skills puts it, “a brotha” who ends up being shipped off to Iraq, once again, leaving her abandoned. Also, as she states, her reluctancy to kiss Lucas is because of the last time they kissed, at which time he had a heart attack. However, they get through it, and are able to get past it. On the darker side of things, Nathan reveals the truth to Haley, Deb tries to escape from rehab even though she could have left at any time as it was a voluntary program and Brooke and Rachel break into the tutor center, to steal the results to the calculus final exam so Brooke can pass Calculus and graduate with her friends, wearing obvious cat burgular outfits, only to be caught by the principal, and as an alibie, have to join Clean Teen, the club designed for teenagers who want to be “Virgins for life” or at least until marriage.
