• Quinn makes a comment about Taylor not being human.

• WHAT?! How about two out of four?! There’s another daughter, Vivian. Unless they are rewriting history, which has become the norm with this storyline. Hmmm.

• Q13: Yes, it’s bad! My mom is dying and I’m making soup! And I can’t stop it! Because nothing can stop it! There’s just so many moments that go with her when she dies. I don’t know the right questions to ask and I’m not ready. I’m just not ready for this.–Haley

• Alexander is wondering what happened.
• Brooke explains that she found Alex naked in Julian’s room with him in the shower.

• Q17: I’m the donkey in a big stupid Shakespearean mix-up.–Brooke
• Wow. So true! This is so Shakespearean tragi-comedy.
• Brooke explains what happened with Alex/Alexander and how she screwed things up. I missed an awesome quote. Damn.
• She does say Julian is the one boy that makes her world turn. Take that, Lucas Scott! (And Jamie Scott! Aw, sad.)
• Victoria says she’s overlooking the best part: Julian didn’t sleep with Alex.

• He excuses himself.
• Q18: You know I loved David. But I have the same feeling I did with Nathan. He’s one of the good ones.–Lydia.

• A new beginning for them? I kind of hope so. I would buy them as friends here on out. Like Brooke and Rachel did.
• Brooke leaves. Alex cries.
• Lydia tells Taylor she’s glad she came and it’s okay to be upset. She admits she’s upset, too.

• He kisses her.
• Q26: You think too much, Brooke Davis.–Julian
• They keep kissing. Aww. Not what I expected. At all. Not complaining. Just surprised.

• Julian is holing Brooke.
• Nathan is holding Jamie.
• Haley is crying.
• Now she’s at home, looking at her mom’s recipe.
• Wow. This has gone way too fast. Way to rush through the rest of the storyline, folks! And conveniently avoid showing the rest of Haley’s siblings!
• I wonder if it was planned that way or if they had to do rewrites/edits. Pure unnecessary speculation on my part.
• She smells her mom’s apron and puts it on.
• She opens the fridge and smiles.
• Lauren comes into Mouth’s apartment.
• She admits she wasn’t worried about being Mouth’s rebound. She was worried about him being hers.

• She says, presumably to her roommate, that she will get the agent.
• She unwraps a towel and her hair is now blonde, just like Sara’s.
• Fade to black.
• Preview: There’s a sex tape with Alex and Josh going around. Julian’s dad says someone is blackmailing them. Alex accuses Josh of filming them having sex. Somebody bought a portrait Quinn did of Clay–Katie and she looks just like Sara. Clay drops his beer in shock. Skills punches Mouth, knocking down a sheet revealing Victoria and Alexander gettin’ busy. Brooke is shocked.
• Woah! It says One Tree Hill returns April 26th with “the final four episodes.”

Those are my thoughts. What’s yours?
