Overview:
When Mouth and Rachel’s road trip goes wrong, the other teens go out to their rescue. While on the trip, Nathan and Haley get a second chance to enjoy their Prom and Peyton and Lucas decide to take their relationship to the next level. Finally, Brooke reveals the truth about the stolen calculus exam to Haley.
Recap:
Skills receives a text message from Mouth. He is in Honey Grove and he needs ass…istance! Yep, under Haley’s suggestion, it turns out Peyton, Lucas, Brooke, Haley, Nathan and Skills are heading out for a road trip. Haley is positive Mouth is fine. "I mean, it’s Mouth, how much trouble could he actually get into?!"
After Tutor Wife’s words, we see a close up of Mouth, who is actually in jail.
The road trip can get started. Our heroes read their old yearbook and Lucas points out Peyton’s signature on his sophomore yearbook. "You know how hard I worked to get my yearbook in front of her, and then she signs her damn name I was crushed!" Everyone giggles. Then, Haley brings up the hot words her sister Taylor wrote to Lucas, who, on the other hand, wonders what she wrote in Nathan’s yearbook. Other laughs, which are done as soon as Skills reads Jimmy’s words in Lucas’ yearbook. Anyway, Haley claims they have to let bad thoughts go.
Meanwhile, in prison, Mouth helps one of the guys in jail win a chess match, then he starts talking about Brooke, Rachel and Shelly. The jail guys are definitely interested, they actually stare at Mouth as if he was a soap opera starring.
Major problem. While Brooke is driving, the car broke up. Luckily a tour bus stops by. And it turns out it is… Chris Keller’s, who, as soon as he learns Haley is pregnant, can’t wait to claim to Nathan: "Dude, totally not mine!"
In Tree Hill, since Karen thinks someone might have broken into her house, she calls Dan up, who takes care of here.
Nathan and Chris have a "boy" talk in which Chris suggests Nathan takes it easy. The next morning, Chris’ tour bus finally arrives in Honey Grove and they bail Mouth out. He got arrested for sleeping in the park. Since the car won’t be ready until the next day and since there is Honey Grove Prom that night, they decide it’s time they had the best prom ever. "So we are going to crash Honey Grove Prom?", asks Lucas. "Why not?" is the only answer.
Chris asks Mouth what happened with Rachel. Mouth tells him things were great but he couldn’t help but think he wasn’t interesting enough. So Mouth went out for a walk and when he got back Rachel wasn’t there anymore. He found only a photo of Mouth and Rachel; behind the photo was written "I could’ve loved the boy in the picture", the same sentence Mouth told her when there was the whole Brooke’s flyers campaign against Rachel, a lot of time ago.
Haley offers Brooke to move in their old apartment, since she and Nathan are going to stay with Deb until the next autumn. Brooke is happy to accept and tells Peyton she can move in with her, if she wants. Brooke also says that even though she claimed they could never be friends like before maybe… they could be better. They hug.
Honey Grove Prom is great and our heroes enjoy themselves.
After telling each other they love, Peyton and Lucas have sex. Later, Brooke tells Haley the truth about the whole stolen exam thing, and then she, Mouth and Skills walk in on Peyton and Lucas who are still in bed. Brooke can’t help but feel hurt and walks away. Poor Davis. She meets Chris, who starts hitting on her, but they end up talking all night. Yep, Wise President has definitely changed a lot.
The next morning, Peyton catches up with Brooke, asking if she is okay. Brooke nods but claims that, if she is moving in with her, they have to come up with a system against this kind of surprise. Peyton can’t help but agree. Then, Haley catches up with Brooke and says her she forgives him.
The car is ready and the road trip back to Tree Hill can get started.
In the meantime, fresh news concerning Abby and… shoving points, as well… Stay tuned!
