The Tide That Left And Never Came Back(Season 2, Episode 22 )

Andy has a double shot of the bad news for Karen. First: his mother is ill and he must travel back to New Zealand. Second: he doesn't know if he will be able to return, because Dan is attempting to have him deported, since he is not a citizen of the U.S. Karen is furious with Dan(again) and her confrontation with him ends when Dan forces a kiss on her. Because he's drunk with power and believes he can do whatever he wants. Which is basically true.

 Andy believes he has Dan right where he wants him! You see, Andy owns the company that installed Dan's security cameras. He tells Dan he has that ledger detailing Dan's stolen money.  Dan can;t help but check to see if this is true, which reveals the location of the  ledger: in his office, behind a painting. Andy leaves Karen the ledger as a parting gift for Lucas. He gets in a limo and leaves.Because he's perfect. And that's the end of Andy as a regular character on One Tree Hill.

Lucas finally gets sick of this "no Haley" stuff and travels to New York to visit her. He takes Brooke along, because he wants her to be okay with the idea of them just being friends. Brooke walk in on Haley and Chris Keller engaging in friendly horseplay, which rubs Lucas the wrong way.

Haley and Lucas are still best buds despite their separation and constant reminders of her stardom(like kids asking for autographs). But Haley isn't coming back to Tree Hill. Lucas puts the blame on Chris Keller, but Chris Keller is unapologetic. He wants Haley to make her own decisions about things! He has a point. Also, Chris Keller writes a kick ass song to woo Brooke, but it doesn't work, incredibly.

Jake's lawyers have found evidence that discredits Evil Nicki! Jake is being released from prison, and he gets back custody of Jenny. BUT WAIT! Nicki shows up at the prison to tell Jake she's skipping town, and she's got Jenny with her. The place where Whitey hid the baby wasn't good enough! Jake must leave Tree Hill(and Peyton) in hot pursuit. But first he sits on his motorcycle and stares at Peyton for a while, like a cool dude would.

This episode and the finale were bundled together. I've decide to  review them separately.
