Lucas gets tuckered out and discovers that taking care of kids is very tiring business. Peyton offers to take control and give her man a breather to go get some ice cream. He also brings back walkie talkies, which are enough to keep the boys occupied.

Haley and Nathan sneak away to give the young lovers some privacy. They pick up Jamie and Andre, only to find the kids are awake while Lucas and Peyton are asleep on the couch. Chase ends his date with Mia by giving her an awkward hug. He quickly realizes his mistake and returns for the kiss. Seriously, this relationship is way too happy and easy for this show, so I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Meanwhile, Julian shows up for his meeting with Brooke, but she gets mixed signals about whether it’s a date or a business meeting. After discussing Ravens uniforms, Julian reveals that while he read the book because of Peyton, he actually responded more to the Brooke character. After a few glasses of wine, Brooke and Julian bitch about their terrible parents. After listing the many reasons they shouldn’t hook up, they go ahead and make out anyway.

Next week on One Tree Hill: Nathan goes back to basketball and Lucas goes back to finding a director for his movie. This means a return appearance from James van der Beek!
