One Tree Hill: Cheaters, Liars and Dan
Villain number 1: Renee
That would be the woman who's threatening Nate. She's got a tale of a wild party three months ago, and she's got pictures to prove her involvement with Nate. THose pics? An ultrasound of her three-month fetus. Nate and Clay immediately cave, which makes us wonder what the hell is going on: OK, fine, she's preggers, but who's to say the baby is his? Did fetus have Nate's abs or something? Whatever the reasoning, Nate decides to tell Haley what's going on. Hey, Nate? You want to tell us, too?
Villain number 2: Alex DuPres
This "hot" "talented" "actor" will be the new face of Clothes Over Bros -- and turns out to be an airhead drunk with verbal diarrhea. The problem? Millie signed a half-million contract with her without bothering to meet her first. Argh! What IS it with these folks and contracts and not talking to lawyers? Brooke is all for cutting ties, but then Alex pulls out a speech about how one of Brooke's dresses got her through rehab and makes her feel dandy, and Brooke caves. Unfortunately, it's a line from one of Alex's unproduced movies. Brooke just got played.
There's more after the break - keep reading!
Villain number 3: Record company beeyotch
FInally, a villain who can be easily vanquished! She wants to shut down Red Bedroom Records -- and break the building down for parts, which, wait, what the hell kind of contract gives her rights for that? -- but Haley has a brainstorm. Haley's got an unbreakable contract with the parent label... but Mia, who's their star performer, is signed with Red Bedroom alone. If they dissolve the label, she walks. Beeyotch caves -- but warns that corporate labels are soulless thugs. Thanks for the tip!
Villain number 4: Paul, Julian's father
Again we've got a big bad who can be handled easily. He flies into town to tell Julian he's an idiot for giving up his career, and that BRooke is a ho who will sleep around (ok, not exactly those words, but you get the idea.) But Julian hangs up a movie poster and reminisces about the one good day he had with daddy. Brooke reads Paul the riot act, Paul admits he's an ass, and they all live happily ever after. Until, of course, they don't.
There was more going on this week -- We discovered Dan is a motivational speaker with a book ("Scott Free Redemption"), a hot wife who is not Deb (and who is definitely using Dan for fame and glory), and possibly some actual good intentions. (He gives his book to an improbably hot homeless guy! What a prince!) We find out that Quinn and her hubby just grew apart -- nothing dramatic happened, but he's just not the man she married. And we find out that letting Jamie bury you up to your neck in the sand is a very, very bad idea unless you're wearing super-strength sunscreen. Let that be a lesson!
What's your take on the ep? Who's the biggest bad we're likely to encounter this season? Is Dan really redeemed? Will Brooke and Julian get hitched? How difficult is it to meet someone before you sign a $500,000 contract? Talk about it in the comments!

I agree with nk8950. Where is Cooper?! Urgh come back Cooper, your woman needs you to smack some sense into her. Even though she is really hot when she is an evil b****. But yeah Michael Trucco needs to come back, they were so cute together.

Quin has been mentioned in season 6 (Leyton wedding) and in season 2 when we were introduced to Taylor. It seemed as though Haley and Quin were close from the season 2 reference to her. The James family seems close even though they are not on screen.
I really do not care about the Quin storyline though, because it is quite repetitive, boring, and annoying.
I love Clayton. Nathan and him have a great relationship. It's about time Nathan got a friend that's not related to him or sleeping with his mom. Nathan would never cheat on Haley and I love that he told her immediately. He is growing up a bit.
Haley was awesome in the episode. From her LP impersonations to calling Miranda Stone a bitch.
I read spoilers so I knew of the Dan/Rachel hook up, but it was still funny to see on screen. They make an interesting pair.

Just when I think the stupidity couldn't drop any lower.Of course Nathan should tell Haley what's going on, that's what you do when you're married. I can't believe the person responsible for this article actually suggested otherwise.

This episode was better but I still miss Luke and Peyton. I liked how Haley mimicked what she thought they would say when they found out about what Miranda Stone and John wanted to do to Red Bedroom Records. It was stupid about how we never even heard of Quinn until this season and Jamie is talking to her like they're so incredibly close like he is with Brooke or Peyton. Finally, I always thought Dan would marry Victoria, not Rachel. If Rachel married someone older, wouldn't Cooper be the obvious choice? Dan and Victoria make sense. They make a good-looking couple. They are both people who realized their mistakes and are working on redemption. Plus, if Victoria married Dan, it would make Brooke an official Scott. I know that Mark wanted to surprise everyone, but I definitely think he dropped the ball on this one.

Better. Although I still have no interest in Quinn, Dan was H-O-T. Loved Haley and her Peyton/Lucas thought process montage.

are you guys dumb! nathan was smart to tell haley
would you rather she found out from the newspaper or something??
also how can you people NOT know rachel you shouldn't be covering oth if you don't know one of the shows most famous characters

Honestly, I hated that episode. Quinn keeps complaining about her husband but doesn't do anything about it. Milie and Booke are played by a stupid actress, really? ok for Millie but Brooke isn't usually this stupid, especially when it comes to clothes over bros.
The only fun parts were Jamie and Mia.
I really miss the sixth season.
