3.06 Locked Hearts And Hand Grenades
Well, we finally get to see something that is the equivalent of the Boy Toy Auction from the cheerleaders. Although I didn't exactly expect it to go the way it went it is still interesting to see come about.
Whitey/Team: First I have to mention how hilarious it was to see Good old Coach Whitey is not very happy with his team. His unhappiness is a result of the huge brawl that broke out at Midnight Madness. Whitey definitely pushes his team to the limit. Especially Lucas since he has slowed down a bit. Mostly due to his medication for his heart condition which is supposed to inhibit his performance. But Whitey isn't holding any sympathy for anyone. It's fun seeing Whitey being a hardass.
Nathan/Haley: Finally we see these two have some sort of friendly conversation where they share some laughing and it doesn't seem like any of them is uncomfortable. It was kinda funny to Haley pretend to bump into Nathan because she is nervous to just approach him. Nathan of course new it was a staged approach. I just liked that they were able to have a casual conversation and seem comfortable with each other despite everything that is going on between them. It just goes to show that they are taking a step in the right direction. We didn't get too much Naley interaction but the little we did get this week was somewhat satisfying.
Haley/Lucas: Once again we get to see these two show how close they are. Haley telling Lucas that she did some research about why he isn't performing up to standard just showed how much Haley cares about her best friend. Not only that but seeing her confront about him needing to tell Whitey really showed that Haley is only looking out for Luke's best interests and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.Luke's excuse however as to why he doesn't want to tell Whitey is very lame. I mean come on he's willing to risk his life so the guys on the team won't stop being his friends. Seriously, if they were real friends then they wouldn't abandon you because you aren't on the team. What happened to the Lucas who thought the only friends he needed were Haley, Mouth, Skills, Fergie, and Junk? Guess popularity got to his head.
Lucas/Brooke: Brooke finally realizes that maybe she was a little too hard on Lucas and probably expects too much from him. Peyton finally convinces her that maybe she needs to apologize and let him know that she does have feelings for him. Luke tells Brooke that if she wants him to be the guy that fights for her she needs to him be that guy. Although I know that Brooke is still afraid to give her heart to Lucas again she needs to stop playing games or instead of being with him again she's gonna lose him for good. I just want to see a happy ending for these two.
Rachel: I honestly like this new character. Granted I hate the way she is too Brooke, but I do like how besides that quarrel she does seem to be a nice person. I mean the only person she's really mean to is Brooke. I bet if they didn't have this rivalry they could probably be friends. She tries to get close to Peyton by offering her a bootleg CD of NOFX and even though Peyton was pretty resistant at first, Rachel made a good point saying that even if she and Brooke are at odds doesn't mean Peyton can't be friends with her. I guess Peyton realized that in the end since she grabbed the CD. Even though I don't like her getting in between Brucas I have to say she does Bring out that fire in Brooke that we missed. It's so much fun watching brooke Rant on and on about her. Can't wait to see more.
Peyton/Haley: Once again we have Peyton being hostile towards Haley. I really hate that she is treating Hales this way. I hope that soon this will end. First moment was when Haley mentioned she was working with Chris again. Peyton threw back at her sarcastically that was a great since he was the one to break up her marriage. Hello! It wasn't Haley's idea. Nathan was the one that told her to. But of course Peyt tends to run her mouth before knowing the whole story. Normally I really like Peyton but this season it's a little hard to be sympathetic towards her with her attitude. Especially going in Haley's face and saying she was the one who was going to draft Nathan was beyond rude. I don't get why she feels the need to be hurtful to her. I did like that at the draft Haley finally confronts Peyton. And Peyton did kinda redeem herself when she didn't pick Nate after all. But backtracked once again when she told Haley "It's about time you fight for your husband." First of all Haley's been fighting for Nathan since she came back. And second it really isn't Peyton's business whether she is or isn't. Sometimes it makes you think that Haley left Peyton instead of Nathan. I mean Nathan is the one that Haley left behind and yet he treats her better than Peyton does. If she was really Nate's friend she'd know all the facts before snapping at Haley. Hopefully the writers will redeem Peyton soon and drop her attitude.
Nathan/Peyton: Can I just say how sweet it was of Nathan to tell Peyton that he heard her podcast and that he was sorry about her mom situation. That and when he told her she wasn't alone. That just shows what a good and supportive friend he is. They talk about how he kinda hopes to not be drafted but Peyton let's him know that it's most likely going to happen since Haley's involved, but she offers to draft him if he doesn't want that to happen. If Peyton wasn't so vindictive towards Haley I would find that offer sweet. I wonder what Nathan would say if he knew how Peyton was treating Haley. I doubt he would be fine with. I do like the fact that these two are becoming good friends, but obviously not that close since Peyton doesn't know the whole situation concerning him and Haley. Seems that Nathan hasn't given Peyton all the facts about what's happening between him and Haley, not that he has to. Word of advice Peyton if you want to be a supportive friend and go off on the person who hurt them, make sure you have all the facts because otherwise it just make you seem foolish and out of the loop.
Dan/Karen/Deb: Okay, once again we are treated to Dan and Deb's foolish childish games. Dan peeing in the pool before Deb's swim was just gross. I did like her retaliation with the laxatives. Especially when he started to feel the effects when he tried to intimidate Karen in her cafe. The look on his face and then when he asked if she had a bathroom was just funny. I do love how no matter what Karen is not taking any of Dan's crap. No pun intended. She isn't afraid of Dan and she lets him know that. She doesn't want to stoop to Dan's level and believes that her reputation as a hardworking, successful, single mother will win the voters over. Dan of course stoops down to a smear campaign which totally catches Karen off guard. It promptly forces her to declare war. And with Deb on her side she'll prove to be a formidable opponent to Dan.
The Ravens Cheerleaders: Catfight! Catfight! Another brawl breaks out between two cheerleaders, Bevin & Ashley, over what else, a guy. Whitey breaks up the fight and informs Brooke that another fight and there will be no more cheerleading. This causes Brooke to take action and formulate a plan that will keep the peace between the squad. Her plan? A Fantasy Boy Draft. Inspired by Lucas' fantasy basketball draft Brooke concocts this draft where each cheerleader chooses a fantasy boy and that is the guy they will stick with until the end of the season. If any cheerleader breaks the draft rules they are kicked off the squad. At first it's a great way for Brooke to snag Lucas and keep Rachel away from him, but it backfires when she decides she wants to teach Rachel a lesson by snagging her pick, which was Chris, and securing Lucas to Haley since Peyton was supposedly getting Nathan. But it all backfired when Peyton picked Mouth instead leaving Nathan to Haley, Brooke already chose Chris leaving Lucas open for Rachel. Personally Brooke should've just stayed picking Lucas. I mean she wanted to keep him away from her in the first place. She should've left Chris for Rachel. It was really sad to watch Brooke have to type Lucas' for Rachel.
Special Mentions: Bevin's fantasy of Skills and the whole butt grabbing scenario was just a great scene to watch. It was definitely hilarious. First, it was just great to see Skills again. Secondly I wonder how long Bevin has supposedly had a crush on him. It just seemed to come out of nowhere. Love that it happened though. Also It was sweet to see Mouth hoping to be one of the draftees. I felt bad for him when he was getting rejected by the squad. But it was funny how he was still campaigning himself. And it was great to see how happy and proud he was when Peyton chose him because he was the first draft pick. It was a great moment for him.
Until next time. Peace, Love, and Hugs.
