Mia plays a song for Chase and lets Julian’s father into the studio. It turns out Peyton and Julian’s dad are very friendly, but she’s shocked to learn Julian’s dad lied about his son’s sex life to help sell a movie, and that’s the only reason Peyton badmouthed Julian to Brooke. She runs over to apologize to Brooke and tell her that Julian might be a good guy after all.

Julian and Lucas get together to pick a director, and Julian favors a British guy who made a sock puppet incest film. The next day, cokehead director Adam (James van der Beek), arrives to help make their decision easier. He calls Lucas a “son of a bitch” and makes a Die Hard reference, making me love him.

Adam is a wild man, talking about joining the mile high club on the way out, and promising that with his expert vision, the three of them “will get more ass than a toilet seat in Yankee Stadium.” Hire him! Hire him right now!

Instead, Lucas goes to Julian’s dad and tells him he chooses none of the directors. Adam worms his way into a meeting with Julian’s dad and repeats an emotional speech Lucas gave him about the importance of the film. That night, a drunk-ass Adam busts into Lucas’ house and gives him the good news: he got the directing job. YES!

After Haley reveals the news to Peyton about Keith’s ring, Peyton gives Lucas back the big diamond ring and asks to wear Keith’s, regardless of the Lindsey taint. Julian is feeling pretty good himself, telling Brooke that he came to Tree Hill for the other girl in the book, and he wins some sex.
