We start off with Lucas’s vision of a one year anniversary with each of the three ladies in question. After a not so veiled conversation with a man in the airport about having three queens and trying to find the queen of hearts, Lucas’s chosen one shows up. So, did he pick Lindsay? No because Michaela McManus has jumped onto the good old SVU ship and I wish her well. Brooke? Nope. That wouldn’t make any sense and she deserves better. That leaves Peyton, who runs to him like she’s been waiting by the phone for this call for eight years, which she has. Is anyone really surprised?

I must say, Peyton’s quite the forgiving sort. I don’t know how easily I’d get over a drunken “I hate you. You ruined my life.” I do know I wouldn’t be able to make it to the airport in what is record time even for TV, to elope with Lucas, despite what Cure lyrics are painted all over the sacred River Court. Peyton and Lucas go to an Elvis themed wedding chapel in Vegas and decide it’s not the right place to get married. Why actually get married when you can continue to drag it out and run into all sorts of new and crazy obstacles? Those two crazy kids end up in the motel room where Lucas proposed years earlier. Lucas starts to propose again but Peyton says she doesn’t have to hear it all. You sure? You’ve waited quite a while, dear.
Brooke and Victoria fight for control of Clothes Over Bros and B. Davis. Brooke mistakenly thinks the companies are hers since the magazine bears her name and she designs all of the clothes. Victoria points out it’s a fifty/fifty partnership and that she can convince the board to drop Brooke. The only thing that can save Brooke is the new line she’s designed, if it’s beyond stellar. She’s Brooke Davis. Of course it’s going to be fantastic.
Millicent decides she’s going with Mouth to Omaha but that gets derailed by Brooke’s explosive frustration with Victoria’s plans for world domination. Everyone’s favorite personal assistant decides to stay and help Brooke fight Victoria. After talking with Mouth, Brooke fires Millicent and tells her love like that doesn’t come around often. Why her immediately leaving for Omaha was so important, I don’t know. It usually takes people more than a few days to pack up their entire lives and set up shop in a new town. If I were Millicent, I would have waited a few weeks. It’s not like it was a one time only offer. It’s Mouth, not Lucas.
Last season’s finale saw Dan getting hit by a car and in this episode, we find out Crazy Carrie was behind the wheel. Carrie’s got a bit of a grudge against Dan for foiling her plans to keep Jamie as her own so she’s decided to let her full blown crazy come out. Yes, she’s holding Dan hostage in an isolated house to torture him with a heated fork, syringes and her rendition of a Donna Summer song. Did I mention he can’t speak? Things aren’t looking so bright for Grandpa Dan. Carrie and Dan always make for all kinds of crazy so it’s sure to be a key storyline to watch.
Skills and Deb are sleeping together and having topless afternoons in Nathan’s pool while Jamie’s home. Yeah, that was a brilliant idea. I’m with Nathan on being scarred for life. In the infamous words of Xander from Buffy, “Can I be blind too?”
Nathan and Haley take a backseat to all of the craziness in this episode. A few things are being set up for them though. Haley is doing well in the studio and Jamie has taken up dancing or rather, rhythmic hopping. I hope that doesn’t become a big part of his storyline this season. Nathan manages a beautiful slam dunk and hurts his back in the process. He hides it but Q notices. I know it’s One Tree Hill and it’s far more dramatic if he’s not okay but I like Nathan and don’t want to see him depressed and in pain again. It also doesn’t bode well that Nathan is on the road to being incapacitated right when Crazy Carrie’s on the warpath for Jamie.
The episode ends with a masked stranger breaking into Brooke’s store and beating her up badly. The big question is who’s behind it? An obvious choice would be Victoria but I don’t think she could be that awful. There was a lot of attention given to a shoplifter who got away so maybe next week we’ll see where the writers are going with that one.
I must say, the premiere certainly laid down the groundwork for a dramatic season. Luckily, that’s just how I like my One Tree Hill. Let me know what you thought and welcome to season six of One Tree Hill!
