like last night’s episode. I was so thankful to have the old Mouth back. Him and Millicient are so cute together. I love Brooke & Owen together. I loved the line where Owen says about her “being full of herself”. Nanny Carrie is PYCHO. I feel really bad for Haley b/c she has NO IDEA what is going on behind her back. I can’t imagine someone I was trusting with my kid doing that to me. And what is up with Nate not firing her?! Jamie is so cute. He just gets better and better in every episode. I love him and Brooke outside together. Really cute scene. Lucas, Peyton & Lindsey. (big sigh) I really would not want someone to propose to me that way. I really don’t even think that Lucas would of even proposed had she not found that ring. And WHAT is with Lucas and his insecurity with the book writing? I’m glad Peyton is letting go like Keith and thought that was really cool of her to see that similarity but I still want them together. Lindsey just seems like a ball of mess. She’s now this insecure clingy girlfriend (fiance). I liked the scene of Peyton at the graveyard with her mom. Really good acting on her part.

Amy’s Reaction:

I’m actually going to start at the beginning. We got to see the proposal! As far as I’m concerned, it was not romantic at all. It was a proposal born out of a fight and a mistaken find. All Lucas could say was I was scared to death you didn’t love me for the right reason and oh will you marry me since you found the ring anyway? Ugh. It really made me want to puke..just like I thought. It was probably the most UNromantic OTH moment. Blah.

As for Peyton’s speech to him at the end, I loved it. I loved the comparison to Keith and Karen. I thought it was big of Peyton to put her feelings on hold for him.

I loved Haley’s performance this episode. I love how upset she rightly is over Luke and Peyton. I loved her speech to Peyton. She was right on…it puts her in a very awkward position and Peyton is wrong for trying to get Lucas when he’s still with Lindsey (as much as I want them together!).

Mouth and Millicent were so cute this episode! I want to see more of them–and with some of the other characters. I sort of feel like Mouth is on his own little island this season. Oh and so glad to see Alice gone, gone, gone!!

Brooke and Owen! I loved, loved, loved that scene with Brooke and Owen in the car. Very much a throwback to that Brooke and Lucas scene. But I loved the best that she stuck her dress back on and got out!

Now, onto this Nanny Carrie business! That woman! If I should even call her that! I can’t believe she lied to Haley and then KISSED Nathan! And then, THEN Nathan doesn’t do anything! No, he doesn’t kiss her back but he doesn’t even tell Haley or even say anything to Carrie. Yes, he told her no more flirting and skinny dipping at the beginning but see how far that got them? She just pushed even more. That girl has got to go!

As for the preview, woah, did you see that look on Lindsey’s face? There’s going to be a girly throwdown in the library next week!

So I’m curious, what did you think about the proposal? Was it romantic? Heartfelt?

    You are sooooo right! That was probably the crappiest proposal I have ever seen and I think I’m going to hate Lucas forever for giving that woman Peyton’s ring! I loved Brooke and Haledy’s face when they saw it, because you just knew they knew. It was priceless. I really wanna slap Lucas in the face for proposing to her, though I don’t think it’s just because she found the ring. The speech she gave him about how she’d love regardless of his writing was really something he needed to her because isn’t that the reason he thinks Peyton said no? (Though one: that makes zero sense, and two: SHE DIDN’T SAY NO!!!!) So I think after she said all that he proposed to her because that’s what he need to hear, he just didn’t hear it from the right girl.

    Tiffany, I LOVE your point about hearing that he wasn’t a failure. Typical male ego. But you’re right, he’s hearing it from the wrong girl!

    I agree - what woman wants to be proposed to in those circumstances? In a way I feel that it is a little out of character (what little we know of her) for Lindsey to have accepted under threatening, sort of, to leave town. But she did say in the last episode that she had turned into someone she wasn’t since moving to Tree Hill, paranoid, insecure, etc. I agree, Tiffany - she didn’t say no! That may well just be the “We were ON A BREAK!” type catchphrase for OTH, LOL! I’m having a really hard time liking Lucas right now, I hope he will redeem himself at some point this season.

    Hi! :) My name is Magda and I come from Poland. I’m a huge fan OTH. I think that episode 8 is great! Until now,it’s The best. And nanny Carrie is a bi*ch! I hate her! I have a question…. do you know if 12th episode will be finishing?

  5. Amy Says:


    Yes, Episode 12 is finished.

  6. EDW Says:


    You know what I loved? Haley staying in character. She is honest and that’s who she is. She doesn’t lie, and she calls people on their stuff. Go Haley!

    I hated the proposal, career-ditching Lindsey, and the lack of Lucas/Peyton. And Carrie, the evil nanny. And why are other people watching Jamie if they have a nanny??? So confused.

  7. Philly-Malta Says:


    i loved episode 8!
    and i so agree the proposal was not romantic at all!
    Lucas is so dumb… it clearly shows he still has feelings for Peyton no matter what he says.
    And i love the scene where Peyton tells him she is gonna let go like Keith! how sweet. i think Hilarie Burton is such a good actress!
    And i am totally mad at Carrie! and even more at Nathan! i mean even though he told carrie to stop flirting he still didnt tell Halyley about it. anyway i still loved this episode but it made me want Lucas and Peyton to be together more and more!
