Episode 6 Choosing My Own Way of Life Recap
We are continuing to keep the chat room open at http://www.meebo.com/room/othblog for discussion and in case the site goes down.
Lucas puts his book in his bag. Peyton wakes up and teases him about packing his bag last minute. Lucas says he’s going to his first signing in Omaha and will see Mouth. Lucas says they are going to Omaha first to generate buzz before they get to the big markets. Peyton says she’s jealous of Lindsey who gets him for a week. He asks about Mick and wonders why he won’t admit he’s her father. Lucas says he’ll call when he’ll land. They say ILY’s and kiss. She says don’t forget me when you’re a big star.
Nathan and Haley walk through the courtyard. Nathan says they’ll cut through shop. Nathan tells Haley she was a nerd. Haley spots Sam sleeping in a car in shop. Haley and Sam chat in her class. Sam says she’s in a foster home. Haley wants to talk to her parents. Sam says no. Same asks her not to screw it up. Haley tries to convince her but Sam says she’s not her girl.
Brooke walks in COB and Millicent is there. Millie says they have a lot to do. She unveils a list of ideas. It’s a “bucket list”. She says she needs to heal or soul first. Ride a motorcycle, watch James Bonds’ movies, get drunk at Oktoberfest, etc. It’s all Brooke’s ideas that Victoria told her was stupid. Millie says “Welcome to someday, Brooke Davis.” Brooke starts to cry and hugs her.
Nathan and Skills are at the RC. Skills gives him a hard time about playing. He tells him to get physical. Nathan dunks on him. Deb says you’re doing great, honey. They both say thanks. Nathan says just check the ball!
Peyton walks in the studio and finds Mick passed out on the pool table. She sees his one-year sober coin.
Peyton continues to eye the coin as Mick wakes up. Peyton asks if he was ever sober for a year and he says what part of rock guitars do you not get? They argue. Peyton says she wishes he hadn’t come. He says I would have sucked at being your father. That’s why Ellie and I gave you up. Are you happy now? Peyton says is that this best you can give me? Mick says that’s all I got. Peyton is shocked and throws his coin back and says thanks, Dad, you can go now.
Dan pick Jamie up from school. Dan asks what him and Deb usually do. Jamie says she makes him eat veggies to make him grow strong. Dan takes him to get ice cream on the riverwalk. Dan spies Deb and Skills kissing. Jamie says they kiss A LOT. They go talk to them. Deb says ice cream after school? Dan says they ran out of x-ray vision carrots. Dan wants to talk to Deb. He says is Skills out of high school yet? Deb says if you came to criticize me…Dan says I don’t. I want to say thanks for telling the parole board the truth about Carrie. Deb says have a nice life. Dan says what’s left of it. Skills and Deb walk away.
Brooke and Millie eat on the floor in COB. Brooke asks about Mouth. She says she wishes he would come home.
Lucas walks out of the airport in Omaha. A driver from the publisher picks him up. He says Lindsey will be in New York and is taking her place on the tour.
Dan walks in the hallway and has a flashback of Keith. Nathan walks up. Dan says he was dropping off Jamie. Dan says he’s sorry about Quentin. Nathan says he was shot. It was a tragedy. Makes you wonder how someone could do that. Nathan says you saved my wife and son but you killed my uncle right here. I don’t know where that leaves us. At least my son loves you. Dan says my son hates me. Nathan says both of them.
Mick is playing guitar in the studio and Peyton walks back in. She thought he was gone. Mick says we should talk. Peyton says all this because you have missed my whole life and you don’t seem to care. Mick says maybe it’s time for me to move on. Peyton goes into her office.
Lucas has no one at his signing. The guy thought it was a science fiction book. Luke says it’s a metaphor and it’s a love story. A little girls comes up and wants an autograph for a Gossip Girl book. She says it’s her favorite. Luke smiles and signs. Mouth comes up and gives him a hug. Luke says he’s the first one there.
Haley goes to see Brooke at COB. Brooke says he’s going to take skydiving lessons. Haley declines an invite. Brooke says would you be interested in fostering a child? Haley says Sam needs a foster home. Brooke says maybe they can foster her in jail. Brooke declines. Haley says she just wonders who is protecting Sam like she protects Jamie.
Lucas is alone at the signing still. He said it’s embarrassing. He says his book sold well in Omaha. He says it’s not good. Someone comes up and wants a picture with Mouth and makes Luke take it.
Nathan walks into their living room and asks how it went with Brooke. Nathan offers to keep Sam but Haley says it’s too much for Jamie. Nathan gets a call on his cell. Mike Wilson calls and says he has an opp to play ball. They show slamball. Nathan and Jamie are in the stands watching with Skills. Jamie loves it and wants Nathan to do it. Nathan is worried about his back.
Brooke is back in her room with the writing on her mirror. Peyton walks in and sees it. Brooke says she has to tell her something. Brooke says she lied. She says she was attacked.
Nathan and Skills walk the court after the game. They argue about Skills and Deb. Jamie is playing on the trampolines. Skills is amazed how strong he is. Skills says he gets it from both of them. Owen walks up and says I guess they let anyone in.
Peyton says she wished she would have said something. Brooke says I didn’t know how. She was really embarrassed. And she didn’t want to ruin her and Luke. Peyton says I never want you to think you can’t come to me. Brooke apologizes. She says she’s trying to get back. Peyton says she’s not going anywhere. Ever.
The guy says the book tour is canceled. He wants to talk to Lindsey. He says Lindsey didn’t agree. Luke says that’s why he sent him…to give him the bad news.
Brooke and Peyton are baking cookies and talk about Brooke’s plan to do it for a living. Peyton says she has a secret of her own..she met her birth dad. Brooke asks about him. Peyton says he’s a mess. He’s not what she expected. Brooke says it’d be nice to pick your parents. Peyton says yeah, but you look at Larry, and it’s pretty cool, they get to pick you. You can tell Brooke starts to think about Sam.
Lucas and Mouth are walking at night. Mouth says he likes it in Omaha. He says it’s not home without Millie. It hasn’t been easy and he’s lost without her. They are making it work though. Luke says at least he gets to go home to Peyton but he hoped he would be on top of the world for a few weeks.
Back at a slamball game, Jamie disses Owen by saying sorry I’m on Team Brooke. Nathan says what was that? Owen says, yeah, I screwed that up. Owen encourages him to play ball but Nathan isn’t sure.
Mouth and Millie talk through webcam and Brooke walks in with cookies as Millie walks out. Millie added be a mom to the end of her list.
Lucas watches Mouth on the show talking about a football player giving up $68 million to spend time with his family. Lucas gets a call from Peyton. He says he’s packing. He says he’s coming home. They canceled the tour. Peyton wonders why. Lucas says I still have you and the book brought us back together. He says he’ll be home soon. Lucas finishes watching Mouth.
Sam is at the diner. Brooke sits down with her. Brooke talks about her family growing up and not having a curfew. Sam says her mom gave her up when she was 4. Brooke says she has an extra room if she wants to stay with her. Sam says she can take care of herself. Brooke says I know you can but you shouldn’t have to right now. Brooke says if you’re uncomfortable in my house, you can sleep in my car.
Mick walks up to Peyton in her office. Mick says I want to give you something meaningful to me. He gives her the one year chip. It was Ellie’s the year she was pregnant with Peyton. It was hard to stay sober and hard to give her up. Mick says we thought there was a better life for her. He says Ellie never got over it. He says he didn’t tell her because he didn’t want to disappoint her. He says he’s going on tour and apologizes. He sees her People Always Leave drawing. He says sometimes it’s a good thing. He says whatever it’s worth, she’s doing a great job. She says thank you for giving me up.
Deb walks in and finds roses but it’s Dan and says To Second Chances. Skills comes in with flowers. Deb says they’re perfect.
Luke is at the airport. Mouth comes in and suggests they drive back to Tree Hill. Mouth says he’s coming home to be with his dream girl and giving up the dream job. Luke says he’s making him read his book on the way home.
Haley wants to know if he made the team. Nathan says depends what his wife says. It’s called slamball and it gives him an in since no one else will give him a tryout. Haley makes him take shots. He makes all of them. She says they are crazy not to give him a tryout and then says go play slamball.
Brooke walks in her apartment with Sam and shows her her room. She says she’s never had her own room before. Sam smiles. Brooke goes in her room and sees good qualities written on her mirror where the others were. She says, I love you too, P. Sawyer.
Peyton calls Larry. She just wanted to say I love you and thanks for being my dad.
Nathan and Haley put Jamie to bed. He says he has nightmares sometimes. Haley says so do I. Haley suggests she stay with him. Nathan gets in bed too.
Lucas and Mouth drive out of Omaha.

I loved the Leyton scenes and realizing that Peyton was all he needed, even though the book tour was canceled. I thought the Peyton/Mick scenes were a good closure to the story. I LOVED that she called Larry at the end. THe friendship between Peyton and Brooke was awesome tonight. ALso loved the cookie making. Great episode tonight!! Oh–Does Dan want another chance with Deb? I was not predicting that one.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I loved the Naley scenes and the NHJ scene at the end. NALEY RULE!!!!! Please more Nathan and Haley love scenes Mark. Naley are just the sweetest, hottest couple ever!!!!!!!. Loved that Brooke finally talked to Peyton about what happened, loved her with taking Sam in aswell, I hope that Sam doesn’t screw her over! Just loved all the Naley, Jamie and Brooke moments
I was so glad to see Mouth again. I have missed him 
I really hope that Brooke and Millicent make this business work 
ALSO PLEASE DON’T HURT NATHAN IN SLAMBALL MARK!!!!!
October 13th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
arghhh!!!! I missed it! Did we get the Naley kiss us fans have been waiting for?
October 13th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
it was so gud cant w8 to c next week . it looks gud
October 13th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
I loved the Leyton scenes. They have had some of the sweetest phone conversations….I laughed when Lucas told Peyton he was thinking about his fiance and she said something like should I give you five mins.
I was happy to see Peyton call Larry…I wondered why there had been no reference to him yet. It was awesome to see Peyton and Brooke interacting I’ve missed that this season. And I am scaring myself because I am starting to have a little sympathy for Dan…he’s still awful but it is interesting to see Dan through Jamie’s eyes.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
I with you, Stace!! for sure!! i loooved how Luke was like, “i still have you and thats all that really matters”!!! ahhh i sooo sexyy.. and of course the I Love Yous!! XD and finally!

Nevermind it is posted already!!!
October 13th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Tonight was a great episode… I loved my Leyton scenes they were awesome! and I loved how Lucas said I still have you and that’s all that matters! and when him and Mouth would rather have their DREAM GIRL than money! I love those boys
I loved the Naley scenes… they are sooo awesome together those two and Jamie is the best kid! I loved the end when they all got into bed together… 
And u gotta love the part where Jamie says “Team Brooke” i loved it!! Next week eps looks awesome!! Sexy Leyton! I LOVE IT!!! 
October 13th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Oh yeah i forgot lol I’m glad Brooke finally told Peyton about the attack i think it brought them closer- it was cute seeing them bake together and talking about when they were kids!! and It was cute that Peyton called Larry just to tell him he was a good dad and that she missed him!
October 13th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
you’re so on point, Tutor Wifeey!
DREAM GIRL!! wooo hooo! hahah
October 14th, 2008 at 1:13 am
ahhh i just now got too see the episode… it was great! loved that fact that Brooke finally told Peyton… i KNEW she wasn’t telling her that she still loved Lucas… ha. and ofcourse, Leyton was AMAZING. my favorite part was the phone conversation when Lucas said “this book brought us back together, so it’s the best thing i’ve ever written.” …TOO CUTE! it’s great that Brooke is getting back to her normal self, and is trying to be happy again, overall just a great episode! GO LEYTON!
October 14th, 2008 at 2:11 am
okay we all know by now that i’m the ONLY Lindcas fan on here, and that i really don’t like Leyton lol… HOWEVER… i will say that i was impressed with them in tonight’s episode. i feel like tonight we actually got to see some of the love coming from Lucas’ side, as well as Peyton’s. i’m HOPING that Lucas continues to express his love for her as much as he did tonight, because the more i see of it, the more i’ll start to like Leyton i think. tonight was the FIRST time i didn’t feel like their love was one sided, and it was nice to see that! so props to Leyton in tonight’s episode! keep showing the love Lucas! haha
October 14th, 2008 at 3:57 am
Still don’t see the heat between Leyton and I am so sorry to all you fans, you really have no idea how much I wanna get behind this relationship but I just can’t. I think it is because I really can’t stand Lucas. With all that being said tonight was great for all you Leyton fans, it was good to see Lucas so admanant about loving Peyton. I am glad that Mark is giving you fans the scenes you want
October 14th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Loved this episode. It was sweet and to the point. Leyton was awesome, Naley was great, and Breyton….LOVE THEM!!!!
I also had a thought about the bridge that is being decortated. Not sure where I should talk about this…but maybe Lucas decorates it after him and Peyton fight over Julian. How romantic would that be>???? I can’t wait for that storyline.
The more as this season goes on, the more faith I have that Leyton will be together through the end. I think that is becoming obvious no matter which team you atre for. Anyway—-loved this epi. can’t wait for next week!
October 14th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
luvleyton, i’m pretty sure the decorated bridge is being used for the 40’s episode! if him and Peyton were seen taping there in costume, then it sounds like they were taping for that time period. sooooo i really doubt it has anything to do with their wedding/Julian. sounds like it’s just being used for the stand alone episode.
oh and Kate23… i totally agree with you. while i DID see a little more of the love coming from Lucas’ side last night, i STILL don’t see the heat between them. which sucks because i also want to be a Leyton fan really bad! but i guess it’s like some of the Leyton fans have said, if we haven’t seen it by now, we probably never will!
October 14th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
sorry guys!! it was actually me who posted that last comment haha. LeytonTLA and i are roommates and i used the same computer as she did to post that, and i didn’t see that her name was already logged on, so it posted under her name instead! haha! sorry… i’m sure some of you were confused about the “not seeing the heat between Leyton” comment. but that was from me, not her! haha
October 15th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Totally agree with you LindcasFan. No matter how hard I try to get into the relationship I just can’t, now don’t get me wrong I don’t hate them at all even though Lucas bugs the hell out of me sometimes, I just can’t get into it and at this point I really don’t see how I ever will. With that being said I completely love the fact that Lucas is finally taking charge a little, I would really like for him to just step up and just convince me that he is all for Leyton and he just hasn’t done that for me yet!!! LOVED THE NALEY SCENES THOUGH!!!!! I AM THE BIGGEST NALEY FAN EVER HEHEHE.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
yeah Kate23 i completely agree with you!! like i said, it was nice to finally hear him say that all he needs is Peyton, BUT then again, he’s said stuff like that to ALL of the girls before. i’m just waiting for him to FIGHT for her like he has for both Brooke AND Lindsey.
and yes all you Leyton fans, i know that he’s never HAD to fight for Peyton… but shouldn’t he want to every now and then?? even if he doesn’t HAVE to? i don’t know at this point it’s going to take more than just words to convince me. because we all know that Lucas is kind of flakey when it comes to meaning what he says!
and i do agree, the Naley scenes were really cute!! i’m not the biggest Naley fan in the world but they had some cute moments on Monday!
