OTH - Episode 14

Tonight was ok. I’m not smiling and clapping and ecstatic about the episode like I normally am. It was good to see everyone interacting. I felt a little like Lucas was going rounds in between everyone as they carried on with their own thing.

So first off, I’m SO glad to have this whole baby thing cleared up. It IS a foster baby and that explains so much! So for that, I did get excited for Brooke that she gets this trial period. But honestly, I’m still hoping she decides she doesn’t want to actually adopt. I’m hoping this trial will let her see that maybe that’s just not what she’s looking for. And what is up the Owen call? I think that was kind of random and really a pretty lame excuse. It was nice to see Chase again to smooth things over but also a little lame since it seemed to just be stuck in there for the Owen storyline. Maybe I’m crazy.

It was GREAT to see NHJ in full action tonight. Haley’s music sounded great and I’m so glad she’s moving forward with that. As for Nathan’s dreams, well, it looks like he has a lot of work to do. The nanny scene was funny but I was surprised they hired Deb as nanny. It does feel like a natural fit IF Deb has her head on straight now.

Mouth and Millicent were SO cute together. Her being all nervous about the virgin thing was so cute. Mouth has a Clean Teen again!! I thought that was quite funny to think about. Skills comment about Millicent walking around the house naked was hilarious. Skills is funny even when he’s mad!

I felt pretty bad for Dan this week. They sure aren’t giving him any slack.

And this week was the final Lucas and Peyton reunion a month after the wedding. The initial reaction was nice and awkward to watch. But what was with the buddy-buddy talk during a walk in the park. I just thought there would be a little arguing or more awkwardness or something. But no it was all, I’m sorry, I want you to be happy. And me too because she DOES still love me and it’s going to work out so in your face, Peyton. Ugh. I really didn’t much like that scene at all. I DO like Peyton and Lucas talking but it just seemed so…cordial. And with the looks of next week, it doesn’t seem that Lucas has let go one bit of Lindsey. I thought we were going to be over this whole thing!!

As I said, tonight was ok. Naley was good…as always. Jamie was cute rapping with Q. Deb was cute with Jamie and I think I’m pretty happy with that. The nanny interviews were cute. It was good to see Haley moving on and Nathan playing ball again. It was good to see Peyton and Lucas at least talking. Maybe they can build on their friendship again. But a few things seemed forced and weird. Dan showing up every where Nathan was…Lucas making rounds to everyone…the whole Owen/Chase thing…and wow, lots of purple monkey talk tonight!
Well, all I can seem to come up with is it was ok.

What’d you guys think?
