One Tree Hill - Season Premiere

I have to say I am really happy and sad about this season. It is the last one. I wasn't an immediate fan, watching 3 seasons in until I bought the first 2 on DVD and caught up. It is such a great story about two brothers (Lucas and Nathan) with the same father, different mother who grew up in a town called Tree Hill, playing basketball. At first they hated each other and they grew to love one another and be best friends. There was tragedy, death, marriage, breaking up, birth of children, moving away, lying, even kidnapping, extortion, you name it, they had it. When we last left off with the gang, Brooke and Julian found out they were pregnant with twins. Hayley and Nathan just had a baby girl named Lydia (she named her after her dead mother), Quinn and Clay were together and happy, Chase was back with Alex, and Lucas and Peyton were not even mentioned. Grandpa Dan was working at a diner and was basically exiled. Brooke and Hayley reopened Karen's cafe.



Premiere - It starts with a disturbing montage of all things bad. There is a huge fire and Dan and Chris Keller (remember him?) are in the car together. Quinn and Clay are having a huge blowout. Hayley is standing over a dead body at the morgue and hysterically crying. Chase was in the back of a cop car and Julian was getting the stuffing beat out of him. Brooke was trashing a restaurant. I can only imagine this the present day and everything after this will be a rewind. Revenge style.

Nathan and Hayley seem to be having a long distance relationship, since he is traveling for work again. You have to love these two, they are always so sweet to one another. Hayley gets the sinking feeling she has someone watching them, lurking in the shadows. We find it to be Grandpa Dan, who lost his home in a fire and asks to stay with them in the spare bedroom. Jamie is happy about this, who doesn't love Jamie Scott? And Dan is holding baby Lydia as Nathan comes home from work and is less than pleased. Doesn't Dan get any credit for saving Jamie from Nanny Carrie? Meanwhile, Hayley is trying to find someone to manage red bedroom records (originally Peyton's place, which she dubbed after her red bedroom - original I know!) And that is where Chris Keller comes into play.

Chase and Alex are back in full swing and basically doing it all day. She starts singing and gets criticized that her song is crappy by Chris Keller and it makes her not interested in sex. Her and Chase are blah, even though we get to see an almost fully nude Stephen Colletti (Laguna Beach!), but I miss Mia, don't you?

Brooke and Julian are raising their adorable twins, one is named Davis, cute! But they are getting NO sleep. She has to drive them around all night in order to get them to fall asleep. Good thing her ex convict mother Victoria comes to see them. They have a baptism for them and the godparents are Hayley and her dad, whom we never met. He turns out to be Carl from Desperate Housewives, and Brooke is over the moon to see him again, but not Victoria. Who discloses that she may have been a lesbian in her prison stint. (Melrose place alum Daphne Zuniga, yay!) Her and Hayley are running the diner together and they both get super happy every time they walk in, someone says their name. Cute. Julian however is trying to rent a studio for movies and it seems less than successful.

Clay and Quinn are going through something else. He has been sleepwalking. But not your average to the fridge walk, he is making it all the way to the river courts. She takes him to get tested and even stays up all night to watch him. She eats popcorn, watches scary movies and even spills the popcorn all over him, haha. They are actually my favorite couple on the show lately, she is beautiful.

Mouth and Milly are MIA for this episode and if the rumors are true, there will be an appearance by Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) later this season before the end.

My thoughts are this: Brooke's business goes belly up, Julian makes a deal with a crook, Clay's sleepwalking has deeper meaning and the worst of them all, Nathan dies. That's my predictions for this season. How about you? Thoughts!
