“The Deleted Scene”

Brooke runs away from Julian, creeped out by what he did in bed. Austin Nichols accepts his initiation into the male cast of One Tree Hill by wearing nothing but a low-hanging blanket. The ladies and gay men in the audience thank you, writers.

She hides in the bathroom and makes him swear never to do it again. While we’re led to believe he tried some naughty sex act, all he really did was say “I love you.” And he keeps saying it over and over again.

Instead of leaving, he logs onto WhosDatedWho.com, a website that tracks celebrity relationships. Apparently while in New York she dated Ryan Reynolds and Colin Farrell. Wow, for a promiscuous girl, she has pretty good choices in men. FYI, that’s totally a real website, and it’s my newest obsession. Sadly, no real women overlap with Reynolds and Farrell, but it’s worth noting Farrell has 32 women on his page while Reynolds only has five.

He’s still wondering why she gets so freaked out by men who say “I love you,” and he’s afraid it’s because she’s still in love with Lucas. She turns this around, since he only came to town to win back Peyton in the first place, so he’s all about Lucas’ leftovers. He wants her to say “I love you,” but all she can muster is “I like you a lot.”

He accuses her of hiding behind Sam because Brooke doesn’t think she deserves love and doesn’t want to have her heart broken again. He gives another emotional speech about loving her, and it doesn’t work. The difficulty of getting her to open up to him lets him deliver a classic zinger: “Never let it be said that Brooke Davis is easy.”

He then backs off and tells her to get ready for dinner and they’ll both pretend the last hour never happened. Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to work.
