“The Cold War”

Deb is babysitting Jamie and promises to let him stay up late and watch cartoons. “I’d rather watch Gossip Girl,” Jamie says. “It’s so bad for me.” I love Jamie so darn much. She thinks he invited his friend over, but actually Jamie invited Grandpa Dan in a misguided attempt to get his grandparents back together. Doesn’t he know that she’s with Skills and he has one foot in the grave on his way to Hell?

Dan puts Jamie to bed and he asks a bunch of questions about why Dan and Deb stopped being married. Dan gives a non-answer, but assures him that Haley and Nathan will last forever. Dan tells Jamie a cute story about when he took Nathan to Disney World.

Jamie’s asleep, but the story gives Dan an opening to reminisce with Deb about their marriage. The good times vanish quickly when Deb remembers Keith’s murder. However, this gives Dan an opening to blame her.

He provides the whole story. He killed Keith because he thought he was getting revenge for Keith setting the car dealership on fire, though it was actually Deb. He also traces it back to how Dan hired Jules to sleep with and dump Keith because Dan caught his own brother sleeping with Deb. Wow, that was more informative than reading the “Dan Scott” Wikipedia entry.

She angrily tells him to leave, but Jamie shows up with Dan’s heart beeper, which goes off letting him know there’s a donor heart for him. Huzzah, Dan lives!


Next week on One Tree Hill: Sam gets in trouble, the movie gets made, and Dan gets a heart.
