Please Please Please Le Me Get What I Want(Season 5, Episode 8)

We see a replay of the end of the last episode, only from Lindsay and Lucas' point of view. Lucas comes back to his apartment to find Lindsay in tears ready to go back to New York. She's discovered the ring and wants to know why he has not proposed yet. Lucas expresses doubts about his future: what if he's just a one hit one wonder as a writer, and he ends up just as a small town basketball coach? Lindsay  claims she would love him anyway, and this seals the deal and he proposes. Then Peyton shows up and gets the surprise of her life.

Haley expresses her concerns to Nathan about the Lucas Peyton make out session. She thinks that maybe she should tell her new best friend(Lindsay)about the whole thing. Nathan tells Haley to stay the hell out of this. He shows some real wisdom here.

Luckily Peyton has Brooke's shoulder to cry on. They burn a copy of one of the many  "Unkindness Of Ravens" novels that Peyton has, and it seems to be symbolic of the end of the Lucas-Peyton thing for good. Right?

Wrong! Peyton shows at at Lucas office at the school and begs him not to marry Lindsay. She grovels worse than Haley did to Nathan in that  Season 3 premiere. Hard to watch. Speaking of Haley, she sticks her nose in and warns Lucas what a huge commitment marriage is. Look at Haley, all judgmental and preachy!

 

Haley's meddling continues in the studio.She outwardly accuses Peyton of cheating. While this happens, Mia records her song in the foreground completely oblivious. Won't someone think about this girl's future?

Haley can't leave the studio, which means Nanny Carrie has more time to sink her claws into Nathan and Jamie. The boy calls her "mama" accidentally, and and Nanny Carrie reveals that she pretends Jamie is her son. Which means that this thing is going to get ugly real fast.

Mouth is packing up his stuff when his bald coworker/friend comes in with good news: Boss Lady Alice was fired, for sleeping with someone in the office! Someone other than Mouth. The anchor man to be exact. The head of the network wants Mouth to take the spot. Which means Mouth can just keep on working like he was never fired! Happens all the time in real life I bet.

Millie has discovered(From Brooke)about Mouth's boss bangin', and she wants nothing to do with him, until he takes her to the tv station control and thrills her with his love of the sports. And it totally works. Only on a fictional drama!

Brooke believes Owen is the bee's knees(thanks to his frequent flirting lately), so she ingratiates herself to him by getting naked in the back seat of his car. Have I typed something like that before? Anyway, Owen is ready and willing to do you know what, but Brooke is just teasing. Oh, that Brooke!

CLIFFHANGER! Haley comes home, unaware of the horror unfolding under her very nose!

Quentin's wrist is sprained from knocking out that dude! What will he do NOW!?
