One Tree Hill - You are a runner and I am my Father's son

Promising Developments from last time:
-The Bobcats have 'capped' themselves out (apparently the NBA has a hard cap now) by trading for another point guard. The implication being Nathan won't be able to sign anywhere else, and we finally learn that the reason they were scared by the groupie thing is that he wasn't that good.
-Millie has moved on from regular diet pills to cocaine - the ultimate diet pill
-Brooke isn't pregnant - possibly the first time in a soap opera where a lack of pregnancy is the big shocker

And here we go:
-The show just ignores the fact that the NBA doesn't have a salary cap, just a luxury tax limit. Teams can spend as much as they want, they just have to pay a tax for any excess. But enough about the collective bargaining agreement.
-Nathan runs off to make Clay tell him why 'he lied to his face' when he told Nathan he would get a deal done.
-Nathan goes crazy when he hears that he can no longer play for the Bobcats (and that Clay is nailing Quinn) - he then fires Clay on the spot. I guess in this reality the Bobcats are a desirable team to play for.
-Even the Bobcats are unaware that the NBA doesn't have a hard cap. Michael Jordan must still be running things from the golf course.
-Really Mike Tolbert gets san diego's goal line carry??? Not LT or Gates??? Sorry fantasy football break
-Millie's crack addiction manifests itself by her sorting clothes. I guess this is better than knocking over a convenience store.
-Brooke takes out her not being pregnant on Julian.
-Alex realizes Millie has been stealing her coke. She gets suspicious when Millie comes over talking fast. She should be on The Wire, that's some good detecting.
-Rachel wants to do Dan's show from the hallway where he murdered his brother (we get a nice flashback) and a high school kid killed himself. She continues to be the most realistic character on the show, I can totally see Oprah doing the same thing.
-Millie plays hardball with Brooke and demands $500K to keep modeling. Nose Candy isn't going to buy itself.
-Brooke calls Millie an ungrateful employee for demanding market value. Who knew she was a closet communist.
-The moral of this week's show is that personal relationships are more important than business, and that Nathan should feel bad for firing Clay because they're friends. And Millie should feel bad for asking to get paid.
-Looks like Skillz is moving to LA to be a sports coordinator.
-Alex tells Millie she needs to stop doing coke. She says she will. That's what I call drug counseling.
-Clay's agency fires him over the Nathan deal. He walks off and puts a picture of Nathan and him facedown on the counter. That's what I call symbolism.
-Mouth: 'Television's funny. It can erase all your mistakes, or hold them against you.' Deep
-Quinn gets mad because Clay held out for a better deal and got fired. She argues his holding out meant that he thought Nathan was worth more and this shouldn't be held against him. This must be how Michael Crabtree's agent stays employed
-Brooke's infertile, duh duh duh
-Millie finds new cocaine contact (McKenna the model), looks like Alex's drug talk didn't work. Shocking
Mouth finds a rolled up hundred on the bathroom floor, and sees white residue on a mirror. Way to cover your tracks Millie. Maybe this means she wants to get caught. Or she just sucks at it.
-And we have the tell tale bloody nose as Millie vehemently denies being a drug addict. Mouth calmly hands her the rolled up bill and says 'I believe this is yours.' I think we're approaching the much anticipated meltdown.
-Dan tries to drown Clay for messing up Nathan's career. Except he was just using it as a teaching tool to get Clay to fix the situation. Savvy.
-Alex is off the wagon. So if she slept around a lot when she was sober I guess now its going to get even crazier.
-Millie gets busted for drunk driving (with Alex in tow). I guess this is bottom. How disappointing.
-Millie calls Brooke from the drunk tank. Brooke hangs up on her. Well Played. Coke fiend needs a night in the slammer.
