Before Lucas can go home to celebrate with his soon-to-be MILF, Julian tells him he needs to meet with the studio head to save the movie. The head knows that the real problem is Julian, but firing him isn’t easy because the studio head is Julian’s dad. Even Julian’s dad thinks this whole movie thing is just a way for his son to win back Peyton. While the studio head wants to fire his son, Lucas has a newfound respect for the bond between a father and his child, so he wants Julian to stay on. He finally gets to return home and cuddle with his future baby mama.

Millie goes home and, after Mouth apologizes repeatedly for the Gigi incident, she confesses that she’s no longer a virgin. On the other hand, Owen’s solution is to drink a lot, much to the chagrin of his friend Chase. Aww, that adorable Laguna Beach Clean Teen is back and he’s taking over bartending duties. I smell wacky hijinx, especially when Chase starts flirting with Mia.

Nathan goes off to practice with the Chiefs and his first day doesn’t go that well. Even though some cocky hot shot has his number 23, Nathan decides to build up his spirits by taking on Jamie's number 12. His wife Haley goes off to recapture her own past, working with Mia on her music.

Jamie spends some quality time in his tree house with Q’s brother Andre. Quentin’s mom is still an emotional wreck, so the two boys decide to wander off on their own to visit Quentin’s grave. On the way, they ponder whether Quentin plays ghost basketball and why angels need wings but ghosts don’t. Q’s mom finds the note Andre left and rushes to the grave where many tears are shed by both the characters and me.

Next week on One Tree Hill: Brooke has a date with Julian, things get funky at Tric with the new bartender, and Jamie and Andre have a sleepover.
