Okay, so after a brief overview of what took place between the close of season four and the opening of season 5, we're back in the present with the cast of One Tree Hill. With a little bit of a backdrop, we're able to see why Lucas and Peyton are no longer and why she's been such a bitch to poor Lindsey; why Haley and Nathan are a little distant and what's been up with Brooke. Perhaps the most entertaining part of last night's episode was watching Peyton's reckless behavior. First she snaps at Haley about Lucas' new girl, Lindsey having around, which Lindsey overheard. Then she snaps at the bar owner and tries to "repay" him by making out in a car. She snaps at Lucas out of jealousy, then all but smacks Brooke's catty, controlling mother, Victoria in the face for insulting both she and Brooke. But let Lindsey tell it, if Peyton keeps it up, she's going to catch one, right in the lip.
Then there's the riff between the hot Carrie, the hot new nanny, and Haley over worn and weathered Nathan. With their relationship on shakey ground, bikinis and hot pants pose a threat to Haley...and for good reason.
All in all, nothing to rave about. Same old drama, same old place. Things will heat up next week though when Lindsey gets fed up with Lucas spending more and more time with Peyton, and he tried to simmer everyone down by convincing Brooke to get Peyton and Lindsey to be friends. Not a smart move, but we'll see how that works out next week...
