Overview:
Haley confronts Brooke regarding the stolen calculus test. Lucas and Peyton consider taking their relationship to the next level as Peyton and Brooke grow closer. In Deb’s absence, Nathan throws a senior party at the Scott House where a sex tape from Nathan’s past surfaces.
Recap:
It turns out Principal Turner is eager to know who stole the calculus exam, so he comes up with a new test. Brooke is definitely worried and Rachel can’t help but say: "Well, I didn’t this one coming!"
Meanwhile, Karen and Dan are getting closer and Lucas doesn’t seem that thrilled, though.
Dan and Lucas start bonding as soon as Dan goes shopping with him to look for the most perfect tuxedo ever. Meanwhile, Haley and Nathan decide to move in with Deb in order to help her out and to save some money.
Brooke gets a great opportunity: Victoria’s secret offers her to add ‘Clothes over Bros’ to their clothing line. Major problem, Brooke has to get Peyton to sign off on the artwork and she definitely feels uneasy, since they’re not as friends as they used to be. When Brooke drops in on Peyton’s, she walks in on Peyton and Lucas kissing. After Lucas walked out of the room, Peyton agrees immediately to sign off. Brooke is surprised about this but Peyton points out she is happy for her. Then, Goldilocks tells Brooke she never meant her love for Lucas to hurt her.
It seems that Rachel failed the pop test, so Principal Turner is pretty sure she stole the exam. Since Haley was tutoring her, Principal Turner has to fire her.
It’s the day before Prom and Nathan has a party. During the party, it is finally revealed the truth about the calculus exam. Rachel actually takes the blame for Brooke. It turns out, after finishing the last test, Rachel switched her test with the Brooke’s one. Having seen that Rachel made a bed test, Principal Turner thought was actually Rachel to have stole the exam previously. Not only does Rachel get expelled but she also gets slapped by Haley, who thought to have been fired because of her. Brooke asks Rachel why she is doing this for her. "Because you’re my friend". Brooke thanks her. Rachel just smiles and goes away.
Mouth and Shelly have sex, but after that, Shelly tells him she can’t stay with him because she is the Clean Teen leader. Mouth is kind of distraught. Meanwhile, Rachel is at home and puts away a box, named Tree Hill High, in which there are a big photo of all the cheerleaders and other photos too. She puts the box near a lot of other boxes, concerning a lot of other high schools, she attended during the years. Sigh.
Of course surprises are not over: it is played a hot video tape, concerning Brooke and Nathan. Haley, Peyton and Chase are stunned.
