When we last left the One Tree Hill gang, Nathan was finally getting rid of some of his anger, Peyton (Hilarie Burton) was obsessing over the fact that Lucas has a new girlfriend, and Haley was trying to help out her troubled student, Quentin.  In the new episode airing this Tuesday, entitled "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)," those plotlines will be moving forward as Peyton tries to make peace with Lindsey and Nathan begins to get his act together.  Now the CW has released two exclusive videos giving us a sneak peek at scenes from next week's episode, and it's easy to tell there are some big changes in store.

In the first video we see Nathan stopping by the basketball court in an attempt to help Quentin.  Can Quentin be saved from self destruction, and after the way he's treated Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), do we even want him to be?  The greatest reveal seen here is the fact that Nathan has chopped off his mullet, meaning we no longer have to cringe when we look at James Lafferty.



In the next clip, Peyton shows up at Lucas's (Chad Michael Murray) place and has an awkward run in with Lindsey.  Peyton wants to apologize and wipe the slate clean after the bamboo plant shenanigans last week, but Lindsey is heading to New York for the weekend.  She suggests that Peyton take Lucas to the opening of Brooke's (Sophia Bush) store, but Peyton thinks it would be way too awkward.  I smell a love triangle brewing.



Fans can also look forward to the return of Kevin Federline's wannabe rock star in the episode, as well as the introduction of another new character named Mia.  "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" will be airing Tuesday at 9pm on the CW.
