One Tree Hill Recap: My Way Home Is Through You

Lindsey tries to befriend Peyton

Talk about a shocker! Bitchy and bossy Victoria is Brooke’s mother! Now we understand why the fashion wunderkind is so intimidated. Clearly this week’s episode had a parental units theme going on.

Nathan bucked it up and paid a visit to his dear old dad in the grey bar hotel. He just went there to tell Dan that he’s over the anger, that his grandson thinks he’s dead and that the boy will never, ever play basketball. Apparently Nathan thinks it ruined his life. Newsflash, Nathan -- your anger issues ruined your life, not basketball! But it was good to see Dan again, even if he was just slightly less hairy than his son.

And this week we got to know Carrie, the Scott’s new nanny, who takes better care of Nathan than she does of the kid. And she used to be a personal trainer? She just keeps getting more and more hot. Look out, Haley!

What we loved: It was so funny that Brooke bought a house in Tree Hill (furniture and all!) and gave the owner an extra 30,000 bucks to be out within the hour. We have to wonder if the house was even for sale!

We were really happy for Peyton when she signed her first band (who cares if it was K-Fed and the group sounds like a glorified garage band).

We loved that Nathan finally shaved! He was starting to look like a taller version of Tom Cruise in “Born on the Fourth of July.” And we’re happy that he decided to rejoin his family and stop feeling sorry for himself. However, we’re still waiting for the haircut.

What we're unsure about:Lindsey. She's almost TOO nice, so we don't totally trust her yet (just like Peyton). But she hasn't really given us a reason to dislike her, so we remain undecided.

K-Fed. We're interested to see where his storyline goes, but last night he didn't surprise us too much. What did you guys think about having him on the show?

What we didn’t love: While we love that Mouth stood up to his overbearing TV boss lady, and we especially love that Skills pegged the woman as a cougar… what’s up with Mouth and the boss swapping all that spit? It doesn’t make sense that she despised him, canned him -- and then made out with him on the couch in her office. Are they the only two people who work at that TV station? Weird.

And speaking of cougars -- what’s up with Mrs. James Scott taking so much interest in Quentin? Maybe she sees a young version of her hubby in the kid?

Finally, it was so obvious that when Peyton told Lindsey she didn’t come back to Tree Hill for Lucas that she did indeed come back for Lucas. So embarrassing!

So what did you guys think? Post your comments and vote in the polls!

i really really really hate lindsey. but i <333 lucas and peyton. && on the commercial lucas was proposing to someone AHH i can't wait :] i'm soo nervous but want to see moree!!!

Ok, I am enjoying the show, but a few things are missing; First off, where is Deb?? She became normal at the end of season four, BRING HER BACK. As well, what happened to Rachel? And to Bevin/ between Bevin and Skillz?? I realise that some actors may have gone off on other projects, but there are some loose ends that need to be tied up. But I def. love Mia, Kate Voegele is amazing!

this season isnt as go0d as all of the other ones there isnt enough drama going on and im not likeing how they r dragging out this whole lucas and peyton thing. Lindsay dose not fit into the cast she is like old and needs to get out and they need to give nathen and haley a break they are always having problems and itz not fair brooke is the one who cheated on her test to become wat she is today and she got everything she wanted all nathen ever wanted was to have a good life become pro and everything "bad" that he did he did for his family

The show was ok. I like that Peyton isn't getting manipulated by Lindsey.
"Lucky Bamboo",PLEASE!!!!
Too bad Lucas had to lie to her and tell her that she has nothing to worry about. Everyone knows Peyton isn't just another ex-girlfriend.

I didn't care too much for Mouth and his boss.

*Naley family so cute this episode.
*The nanny seems a little weird to me.
*Nathan needs to take another step and cut his hair.

Momma Davis sucks! Where does she get off telling Brooke what to do when she never even took interest in her before her clothes line.

I'm getting a little antsy, i hope i get to see more Lucas and Peyton!!

You're absolutely right about Nathan's anger ruining his life, not basketball. It will be incredibly foolish if he never lets his son play. Dan was right when he said not letting him play would be worse than what Dan did to Nathan. I'm glad Nathan's starting to pull himself together, though. Btw, Naley's son is adorable! Best new character of this season by far.

I love Brooke now more than I ever have, and I've always been a fan of her and I must admit that I'm all about Brucas. She seems the realest to me. She goes for the gold, she gets what she wants, and she has awesome fashion sense. I wasn't that shocked that Victoria was her mother. They look alike, she's intimidated by her, and I knew her last name was Davis, but I still hate her. I really hope Brooke doesn't go back to NY. She belongs in Tree Hill!

Nathan needs a haircut! I love the shave, but a haircut would be nice. He looks grungy.

I am not a fan of Mouth making out with his boss! That was unbelievable! She hated him and then all of the sudden they're bumpin' and grindin'. No! I hate her and I don't think she's that hot. I knew there was going to be something between them from the begin. That was blatant sexual tension. But that does not mean I approve.

I don't know how I feel about Lucas's Lindsey. But I feel bad for her. She clearly loves Lucas, and Peyton's pretty rude for coming back to try and grab him. I really don't think she was marking her territory with the bamboo, I really think she's just that nice. She'll be on the show for a little while longer, but I predict that she'll leave quietly when she realizes that Lucas's true feelings are for Peyton.

Haley has a "helping people" thing. She had to help out Nathan back in high school when she tutored him, and she is trying to do the same thing with the cocky Nathan-like Quentin. His bad boy attitude is really starting to get under my skin. I used to think it was hot, but now it's just annoying. He needs to get over himself.

Anyway, I love OTH and the new season is even more fantastic than I expected. Much love.

I agree that the biggest schoker of last eppy was Brooke's mum. I m glad I dont read spoilers anymore!!!! It was awesome...didnt see that coming.
Haley was the one to inspire Nat..not the nanny. At the end of the second eppy after the yelling and he comes out of the pool!!!!!
I dont understand y everyone is so worked up about Kfed...I really dont like him...and I think the whole idea is not +.

Im from Italy so dont really know how it works in America....but I guess houses are pretty cheap!!! I'm a teacher too...and there is no way I could afford a house like that. haha.....

Lindsey....I dont mind...coz I know Leyton is coming back...come on!!!Lucas is not that stupid. And as for the nanny...I dont like her...but I dont think she s after Nathan. Mark wouldnt do that to us!!...or so I hope...

Well....I like your podcasts gals....so keep them coming!! ciao ciao

i want brooke and lucas to get back together. the season is great sofar but that would really just be the icining on the cake. and nathan for gods sake get a haircut.

The third episode of the season was worth waiting for. First of all, I am a Leyton fan since the beginning of the show. What can be greater than Tortured Artist meeting Tortured Basketball Player. And they have history together. I think that Lindsey WAS marking her territory when she gave Peyton the plant. It was also good that Nathan went to visit Dan. I think that it brought about a sense of closure for Nathan. It is high time that he break free from Dan's demons. It was also good to see one of the adult cast members of the past four seasons. It would be great if all of them return. I loved the fact that it took Jamie's closet for Nathan to sort of wake up. He had to realize that his son is his biggest fan. It is not too late for him to work his way back to basketball. I also loved that he shaved his beard; if only he can shave his head/hair. We have grown so accustomed to seeing a clean shaven Nathan. I loved the fact that he rejoned his family. I DO NOT trust the nanny. I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE. ONE TREE HILL IS THE BOMB!

mk so far this season, I LOVE ITTT!! Nathan deff needs to cut his hair, i was so happy with carrie when she told him to shave haha.i like carrie shes a sweet heart..and im sure tht nate wont cheat.

i have been waiting for peyton and lucas since the first season..they put them together for such a lil time. they belong together..its just how it is! they are so good together..brooke is good but i think shes great to be friends with luke. i want leyton back! also i would love to see peyton do sum drawing this season. i loved how tht was an escape for her. i would like to know that she kept that within her along with her music.
i think the show needs another guy or sumthin becuse two how new girls is deff trouble for the relationships here!! haha unless fergie or junk finally get sum1 =P

This was a great episode. My favorite part by far was of course when Nathan made dinner and he and Jamie were all dressed up. So hopefully now well get more Nathan and Haley love scenes. and dudeeeeeeeeeee Keven Federline cannot act. At first when they posted that he was gonna come on the show I actually thought he was gonna be a good actor but he had like 20 lines last night and he didn't do any of them well. and where does that pic with him and Haley come in, it's not from last night's episode This season rockkkks so far!

i love this season already!! i agree that nathan would never think of cheating on haley he loves her way to much and jamie too. but he sooooooo needs to cut that nasty hair!! he's so hot so why hide it? but i think carrie will end up with lucas somehow. i love everyone being back in tree hill! and brooke better stay there and ignore her mom

i think carrie is an obsessed fan/stalker of Haley's- when she was on tour

I loved the new episode! Great to see Dan again even if it was in jail. I wonder if he will somehow get out, or if the entire season he will have to be visited to get a scene.
Where is Deb by the way?Did Nathan's mom disappear with Lucas's mom and sister? I guess they had too many characters to write a 42 minute episode, but perhaps Babs and Moria will be back in a flash back episode.
Totally did not see the Victoria thing coming. I loved it and thought it was great. Can't wait to see more of this relationship with Brooke and her mom. Thanks OTH I'm loving season 5.

I'm really enjoying Lucas and Brooke's friendship this season. We're getting to see that some have kept in touch and it appears that they have. And the new and improved Scott Family...I love it. I got a tear during the dinner scene with Nathan, Haley and Jamie (how adorable is he??). So far I am thoroughly enjoying this season. And I really like Lindsey's character. She's the fresh start for Lucas...he seems at peace. Let's hope it stays like that...for a while (I mean come on...this is Tree Hill). :)

haley and nathan little boy is so cute

bring back lucas and brook what i mean by that is make them a cople again they look better together petyon is to depressing lucas and brook go together much better i dunno that just what i think i like lucas as a coach and i like brooks character its perfect for her the scott family has some prombles but what family doesnt haley as a teacher works great and jamie is perfect for the show.petyon is same old depressing petyon so lets see what happends

Last night's episode was great! It was in Ol' fashion OTH style leave nothing to be expected or unexpected. Can't wait for next week's episode.

First of all, I am extremely positive that Nathan will not cheat. And I so agree with the rest of the NH fans that, Nathan didn't even looked at Carrie once in last night episode. I mean, what is there to look at? Hello, Haley looks way HOTTER that Carrie will EVER be. Carrie just seems weird and a little too obsess with Haley, Jackson and Nathan. She needs to get booted, and soon!

Second of all, why didn't you guys like that "Mrs. James-Scott taking so much interest in Quentin?" She is a teacher; she is suppose to set an example that school is important. She laid down the stats that almost more than half of the students in high school dropped out. She cares, and putting that down under "what we didn't love" make it seems like it was wrong that the teacher invested her time trying to save another's future.

NALEY totally OWN this episode. The family scene was to die for. It was beyond amazing!

One Tree Hill was fine last night. I didn't like that they didn't show Peyton and Lucas. I also don't like Lindsey. She was marking her territory and she admitted it when she asked Lucas if she had anything to worry about at the end. I liked Nathan cleaning up his act and Vicoria being Brooke's mother.

i think that haleys shouldn't of hired kary the nanny

For me, it was no surprise that Victoria is Brooke´s mom. Some time ago, when the CW had those fast foward of One Tree Hill, they showed the actress that plays Victoria and the name of her caracther as Victoria Davis. I wish they hadn´t ruined that by reveiling that weeks before.

I loved the episode. But they should of use someone else to play the lead singer of the band. Why would anyone give KFed an opportunity? he is not an actor, and def. not a singer, I hope he doesn't stick around for too long. Because I really dislike seeing him.

Nathan never cheated on Hayley before, so why would he now? That's not who Nathan is. If they make him out to be that way now, I will be pissed. He's not the one who kissed someone else and left in season two, Hayley was.

And speaking of that, this is OTH. the show that made you think Chris Keller was there to be with Payton and ended up screwing up Nathan and Hayley. So don't be suprised if the Nanny is really going to be matched up with someone besides Nathan. After all, Nathan isn't the only Raven in town who played on that championship team.

Speaking of the Nanny, she reminds me lookwise of Anna from season two. That actess is now on Friday Night Lights playing a home caretaker who's sleeping with the grandson of the woman she's taking care of. Sorry, just think that's funny.

Gee, good to know you speak for all NH fans, Big NH fan. Oh wait. You don't!

Guess what? I'm an NH fan, too, and I didn't have a problem with the post. So stop assuming you know what all the fans think. Last time I checked you couldn't read my mind.

The nanny isn't hot. She's psychotic. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that she's infatuated with Nathan and his "perfect" life and probably wants to be Haley. It's like some weird combo of "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle", "Single White Female" and "The Fan".

Nathan and Haley fans would also appreciate it if you guys stopped the whole "Nathan is gonna cheat" stuff. How do you honestly think his character would be redeemed if he Jude Lawed the nanny? This show is built on N/H fans. So, thanks but no thanks.

PS: Nathan barely looked at Carrie all episode, why would he ever want her over his own wife who is MUCH MUCH hotter BTW and the woman he's IN LOVE WITH.
