One Tree Hill - I and Love and You

Judging by the new stream, One Tree Hill has gotten HD treatment. I can't think of a more deserving show.

-We start with Dan about to put renee the groupie on his show 'Scott Free' (I'm not kidding) ostensibly to 'bury' Nathan. Nathan says this interview will keep him out of the NBA. Because apparently she could say so much more that people don't already know. Maybe it'll turn out that Nathan beats Vietnamese children. Not that even that could keep a 20 ppg shooting guard out of the league
-Ahh the mysterious visitor to Clay is his ex-wife who left him and is now taunting him
-Clay (nathan's agent) is afraid the interview will end both his and Nathan's career. I guess he doesn't have that diverse of a client base
-Nathan and Hailey talk about how their life as they know it will probably end after this interview. I'm not sure if this storyline is more ludicrous than the way the show portrayed the NBDL as being successful, but I do have to give it to the writers for standing pat and not wavering from the idea that allegations of infidelity would deep six an NBA stars career
-35-11-6, apparently this is the 'career' stat line that Nathan was out and caused him celebrate to such a degree that he got loaded and allegedly knocked up the groupie. I mean this is a nice enough game, but lets reign it in guys. If that is what sets you off that means that your regular stats couldn't have been all that impressive. Maybe that has more to do with why you're having contract issues. Now this all makes sense
-Ahh the hook of this episode is all the characters who are currently in relationship trouble flashing back onto how happy they were in the past. How I hate them
-Brooke continues to be Psycho chick and gets all pissy because Julian is still working with Alex. The one whose advances he repeatedly rebuffed, but she still doesn't 'trust' him. Of course she doesn't. She still can't out crazy Peyton
-Its like the things that Dan is saying on the broadcast are perfectly relevant for all the characters in the show. Spooky
-Oh Snap, Dan springs a lie detector test on Renee. Tricky. And she lets them rig her up even though she doesn't want to take it. Wuss
-Flashback for the agent - his wife convinces him only to represent 'good' guys, and find clients who he believes in and with whom he can be friends. Looks like somebody has watched Jerry McGuire and few too many times
-Dan's catch phrase is "Stand in the light - get yourself right." Catchy
-Nathan brings up a relevant point that Dan could be rigging the lie detector. This doesn't stop everyone from believing it when it says Renee is telling the truth. Talk about easily manipulable. Its like in the Invention of Lying, everybody just accepts what they hear.
-Apparently Quinn left her husband because he decided that he wanted to get a job with medical benefits instead of being a struggling documentary filmmaker. Seems reasonable to me.
-Dan hooks himself up to the lie detector and shows that the machine returns true for every statement - everybody is predictably shocked. Dan then reads Renee's pupils to show she was lying. So he's the Mentalist as well. The whole thing was a set up - tricky.
-Everybody is so relieved when Renee admits she didn't have sex with Nathan. I guess they can hear the dollar signs in the background.
-The last record Clay was playing before his wife left him was Willie Nelson's - Angel flying Too Close to The Ground. I didn't realize Willie wanted to appeal to the Jonas Brothers demographic.
-Ahhhh hahahahahah, I completely called it last episode. His wife didn't leave him, she died and he's been hallucinating her this entire time. Perfect. I don't think we've had a two episode 'I talk to dead people' storyline yet.
-Julian takes care of Brooke's crazy without having to propose. Smooth, I figured for sure the episode would end with him on his knee.
-Instead it ends with Clay talking to his dead wife and crying - yet somehow he finally learns to let go. I think we can all learn something from this, and I am not ashamed to admit that I found the whole thing to be incredibly moving.

See this show teaches us to love again, and you think it only exists to promote the Starburst summer concert series.
