Episode 2.14 Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

Posted on February 15th, 2005 by Amy

Overview:

As his marriage with Haley continues to go wrong, Nathan goes into a emotional crisis and becomes the “bad” Nathan of the past. Karen continues to struggle and try to figure out what would cause Lucas to move in with Dan. Peyton and Jake’s relationship gets greater.

Recap:

As Haley left him, Nathan breaks down, although he doesn’t want to admit it, and he starts to become the bad boy he used to be.
Lucas is definitely worried about him but Nathan doesn’t listen to his brother, pointing out it’s only Lucas’ fault: if he hadn’t shown up , Nathan would have never met Haley.
Anyway, as soon as Deb and Dan drop in on Nathan’s apartment and Dan doesn’t have nice words for Haley, Nathan’s reaction is instant. Dan can’t help but say: “Nice punch, son. It’s good to see there’s still a man in there somewhere.”
Karen wants to figure out why Lucas moved in with Dan; since Lucas gives no clear explanation, she decides it’s time to take legal action against whatever Dan is plotting.
Elections are still running in Tree High and Erica Marsh keeps playing the campaign dirty. Anyway, thanks to Mouth’s beautiful and touching speech, Brooke ends up winning. Yay!
Later, Brooke catches up with Erica. Miss President admits she is scared about the whole thing, and Erica can’t help but point out this is funny, since she – Brooke – is afraid of being President in Tree Hill, but Erica is scared of everything else.
Peyton asks Jack out but he tells her he is really busy, even though it’s clear he does want to go out with her. Well, this is also Brooke’s opinion. Anyway, later, Jack has a major problem. His little daughter is sick and he can’t pay the doctor since Jenny has no health insurance. Our beloved Goldilocks lends him the money.
Jules tells Dan not to ruin her wedding day, since she really loves Keith. Of course Dan isn’t exactly reassuring, as usual.
Jack confesses to Peyton he came back because of her. He wants to give them a chance. So does Peyton, since they kiss.
Meanwhile, Haley informs Nathan about her plans, which, at the moment, don’t include Tree Hill at all. Ouch.
