• Q5: “David, how can you do this to Quinn?” “It’s no different than what she did to me.”–Haley and David
• Quinn is with Clay and says she told David they slept together. Um, okay.
• Clay is confused on why she wants him to come to dinner.
• Quinn explains Taylor has always tried to steal her boyfriends.
• Clay asks if she’s bothered by all of this, since it’s worse now, but she says she’s not as bothered by that as she is by the girl in a bikini swimming in his pool.
• I believe it’s Kylie, from the Body Axe commercial.
• Nathan is playing basketball in an interactive studio. They are putting him in a videogame.
• This is actually pretty cool. He is in a black catsuit with round things stuck to him.
• Clay and Jamie are watching.
• Q6: “You look good covered in balls.” “Now I know how Taylor feels.”–Clay and Nathan
• Clay says he’s not going to the dinner. He adds that Quinn’s more upset about Kylie.

• She says Skills told her he was in town so she came to say hi.
• She offers to help Mouth clean.
• Nathan tells Jamie that sometimes friends fight (I guess he and Chuck were fighting; it’s not clear) but then they make up. Like Taylor and mom.
• Haley then steals all the pots so Taylor can’t cook dinner!
• Nathan tells Jamie to play upstairs tonight with Chuck.
• The director asks Julian where Alex is.
• Q8: Have you checked your hand? It’s usually on her ass?–Julian
• They are now in the office and it looks a lot like the office Julian and Lucas and Dixon used for their movie.
• The director says it’s no fun working on a movie with Alex Dupre if you can’t sleep with her.
• So is this director Dixon version 2.0 or something?! (And if you recall, Dixon had like 3 names: Adam, Reese and Dixon. What was first, last or middle, I still don’t know!)
• Alexander brings Julian his box of stuff. He apologizes and leaves.
• Julian looks sad.
• I wonder if Victoria sent Alexander on purpose, to send Julian a message.
• Someone on Twitter just said this new director is one of the ones we saw when Julian and Lucas were looking at directors. He was the one who wanted to show Lucas living in a trailer. I recall that happening but I’m not sure if this is the same dude. Maybe it is. Would be kind of clever.
• Julian comes into CoB and tells Brooke that he doesn’t appreciate her sending his “boy toy” to give him stuff.

• He says she can count on him and he’s coming to dinner.
• He takes off his jacket and does a cannonball.
• Haley is snacking to spoil her appetite.
• Nathan admits dinner is a bad idea.
• Haley says she only agreed because Taylor and Quinn already agreed so she didn’t really have  a choice.
• Brooke shows up after Haley throws Taylor’s potatoes in the trash.
• Q9: I was just feeling a little lost so I thought I’d come visit the most stable couple I know.–Brooke
• It’s supposed to be funny because they (or at least Haley) aren’t looking so stable right now.
• Mouth tells Lauren he left town because he thought the distance would help him with Millie.
• He says she was out of sight but not out of mind.
• Brooke agrees with Haley that Taylor is wrong.
• Haley says Julian obviously cares for her because he is staying in Tree Hill when his movie could be made anywhere.
• She says she and Julian are good together and they’ll work things out.
• They talk some more and I freakin’ love it. More Baley, please!

• Wow. That had to be the meanest thing that guy could say, no?
• Haley joins everyone at dinner and Taylor asks to say grace.
• Q14: “You’re religious now?” “I have been calling out God’s name a lot lately.”–Haley and Taylor
• David laughs.
• Taylor says grace and praises David, including his home theater. A dig at Quinn, if you recall from 7.07.
• Alex thanks Julian for sticking up for her. She says no one thinks she can do this movie.
• Julian asks since when she does she care what others think.
• Um, she’s always cared! That’s how she got to this point!
• She says she’s worried about screwing up and looks at his scars.
• Julian says she won’t and she should have faith.
• Taylor and David are making out during dinner.
• Quinn asks how they got together.
• David walked into Taylor’s stripper aerobics class. LOL

• Q17: Your lip is about to get fat.–Haley
• Nathan says he can’t take any more and goes upstairs to the kids.
• Chuck is saying Nathan–in the game–sucks and Nathan is shocked to see how poorly his character is doing.
• Nathan takes over and does well and Chuck is embarrassed.
• Julian’s dad comes into the office, saying he heard what happened with the director.
• He says Julian is moving backwards as a producer and all he has is an unreliable, uninsurable actress.
• He reminds Julian they invested a lot in the movie and he needs to fix it.
• Chuck is trying to beat Nathan in the game and is getting frustrated.
• Nathan is a little over the top but it’s kind of funny.

• He asks her to think about it.
• Q20: You don’t even have to look at me if you don’t want to.–Julian

• Taylor points out Quinn hurt him first.
• Quinn admits that.
• Taylor says she’s not pretending and Quinn says fine.
• Haley yells, with tears, saying this is not fine.
• She is clearly harboring residual resentment from the Nathan stuff and whatever happened when they were kids. It’s hard to understand because we didn’t the latter.

• Taylor starts cry but admits it.
• Nathan looks outside and says they’re not fighting anymore.

• Quinn asks David if he’s leaving and he says he never should’ve come.
• She says she never should’ve lied but she just wanted him to be happy.
• He says he’s getting there and Quinn says she is happy. Well, that probably isn’t going to help David get there any faster!
• She hands David her engagement ring.
• Q24: Maybe just don’t give it to Taylor.–Quinn
• What about the wedding band? Odd to give one back. Or any back, really.
• She apologizes and David says it’s okay.
• I feel closure there now between them. Thank god.
• No closure with the girls, that’s for sure.

• Q26: ‘Cause, PS, that’s now the deal.–Brooke
• Aw, see, she can still be charming, too!
• She says his people should call her people and leaves.
• That was too cute.
• There is still so much there. That makes it worth it.
• Clay and Quinn get to his house.
• Someone hands him new keys and he gives Quinn a key, saying she’s the only other person who has one.
• It’s to show how important she is to him.

• Julian says he wants to direct. He knows the movie, he knows Alex and he knows his dad can keep him in line.
• His dad rips up the list.
• Q28: You were at the top of the list.–John, his dad
• That was sweet, too.
• Haley is getting into bed and says she’s happy the day is over.
• Nathan says the day was good–the drama wasn’t about them. No psycho girls, no contract issues, no Dan problems.
• Haley realizes it was indeed a good day for them.
• Nathan starts laughing as she cuddles up to him.
• Q29: “Your family is crazy.” “Whatever. What time does Scott-Free come on?” “Oh, nice.”–Nathan and Haley

Nathan and Clay are on the back of a truck. Haley, in a knock-off Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles, says, “I can’t believe they forgot my birthday.”

Those are my thoughts! What’s yours?
