CraveYouTV: One Tree Hill- Know this, we've noticed

"Ipod and a glass of wine"

I like this town, I really do.. And I've liked it since about 2003 when One Tree Hill premiered. You see I cried on the last season finale when I saw Jaime walking in Uncle Lucas's footsteps because that would have been the perfect ending to the perfect series but when I saw those white letters on a black background I knew I was home. See One Tree Hill doesn't need to have insane out of this world drama for it to be a good show. I connect with the characters and seeing them is like seeing my friends grow up- only I'm growing up too. This season looks like a promising one, not that I ever doubt the producers and writers, I just wish that Peyton was coming back with Lucas one final time.

This episode was more of a "Welcome Back" to catch fans up on what they missed during the break. Brooke had twins and their turning out to be a pain in the ass because all they do is cry. Fortunately Brooke and Julian are a power couple that approach every bad moment in life with some comical relief and an optimistic attitude. For this reason, Brooke has been one of my favorite characters throughout. She never focuses on the bad things because things could be a lot worse, but if her biggest problem in life are crying babies, than damn she is one lucky woman. Brooke also gives a lot of chances to people who don't really deserve them. In the past seasons it was to Victoria, but in this new season its to her father Ted. Heres hoping that this relationship doesn't head south.

As much as Haley moans and complains deep down inside she missed Chris Keller just as much as I did. Seeing familiar faces in Tree Hill is so heartwarming and you know whenever Chris Keller is around, trouble is not far behind. Only this time it seems that it is going to involve Miss Duprey and her boyfriend Chase. As sex addicted and infatuated with each other as they are, they are the couple on this show thats on a constant honey moon and Chris Keller can smell them out like new born babies and he will feed on that.... (Yeah I know this isn't Vampire Diaries I know I know, no feeding on people).

Who this creep trying to stalk Haley's household and Karen's Cafe is I'm not quite sure, but I don't feel too vested in the story line either way. I believe Tree Hill has had enough of their psycho-stalkers for the time being. Unless its Uncle Lucas popping back for a visit I'll take it, but than why would he be all cryptic and snoopy? I also don't understand the Clay and Quinn storyline? Sure Clay is sleep walking and we all know the dangers of that but why? Is he still under some pressure from the shooting? This brings me to my next point...
I am not really sure what the first 2 minutes of the episode were all about because there was no specification as to how much time had gone by between the first scenes and the latter episodes. Why was Chris Keller working with Dan? Dan specified that his diner burned down when he reached out to Haley for help, but when he was in the car with Keller it seemed like they were watching his diner burn down so does that mean Dan is still a evil person and he is lying his way into Nathan's life? Who does Haley find under that white sheet? Does Nathan die? Why is Julian getting beat up and why is Brooke destroying her cafe? And why the hell is Chase being arrested? It is so typical of OTH writers to leave us with all these questions.

One thing is for certain, I have never been nor will I ever be a Clay and Quinn fanatic so if shipping off Clay to Europe is the only solution to Nathan getting more screen time than so be it. And may I emphasize the fact that Peyton should be running the cafe alongside her friends B. Davis and H. James as they exchange baby advice and bask in their hometown glory (check out that whole "Hello Brooke, Ohh I love that. Goodbye Haley, Ohh I love that" scene). These are precisely the scenes I love OTH for. And of course their opening quotes and always tasteful music.
