Nathan (James Lafferty) has to impress some scouts if he ever wants to have a chance at making it in the NBA.  He goes to a professional tryout in the hopes of wowing the right people, which he does without a problem.  However, he doesn't impress all the other players, who are jealous and enjoy mocking him.  When Nathan announces he wants to try out for point guard, he flashes back to an inspirational speech Quentin gave him.  I thought Quentin's death would finally get rid of him, but I feel like he has more screen time than ever lately.  The cheesiness of Nathan's storyline is making bile rise in my throat, so let's move on.  It's like I'm swimming in a pool of Velveeta.

Julian walks in on Brooke dancing to "Don't You (Forget About Me)," which allows him to make the requisite Breakfast Club reference.  He wants her to design the wardrobe for the movie, because who knows the clothes better than someone who actually wore them?  This is where I must stop and point out how unrealistic this entire plot line is.  Movies are not made by one guy walking around and hiring people willy nilly without consulting agents, other producers, directors, the studio, etc.  Mark Schwahn has written movies, so surely he knows this.  Brooke turns down the offer, still finding Julian creepy.

Millicent continues to feel threatened by Gigi after seeing her hug Mouth (Lee Norris) in the parking lot last week.  She rants to Brooke about the situation, but B. Davis assures her Mouth won't fall for the slunt's trap.  I think Brooke has too much faith in the guy, especially since he's once again assaulted with Gigi's advances throughout the episode.

Sam gets her Nancy Drew on and theorizes that Brooke was a skank in high school, thinking it perfectly explains her aversion to Jack.  Someone give that girl a medal, she's cracked the case!  Brooke admits to it, but also tells Sam about her mugging.  That experience made her feel a little iffy around guys, and that includes 15-year-olds with terrible hair.
