OTH - Season 6 Episode 1 (Touch Me I’m Going to Scream Part 1)

OH MY WORD, I’ve said it like a hundred times already but THAT WAS THE BEST EPISODE OF ONE TREE HILL EVER IN THE HISTORY OF ONE TREE HILL. Well, at least for Leyton fans. And really…I’ve even had some Brucas fans admit that they were pretty cute together.

As I find myself so many times writing these things, I don’t even know where to start!!

I think I just have to start rambling.

The anniversary scenes…I loved them. The Brucas fan in me loved the wife and husband comments. Wow, we even got a Brucas kiss..how long has it been?Lindsey and Lucas’ scene..eh. Very casual there. And I love the comment..they were easy together. Yes, they were easy together. They got along fine and until Peyton came between they probably could see themselves together because they were happy. But it wasn’t the same as…

Lucas and Peyton on their anniversary. It seemed so right. I almost could feel the cookie dough fight all over again in that place with them together joking and laughing with one another. I loved how he couldn’t handle the thought of Peyton in sexy underwear.I liked Gus. I loved his wise words to Lucas. I’ve really missed that figure in Lucas’ life and while Gus probably isn’t someone that will be there, it was nice in a moment of such heavy decisions, he was there for him.

The airport scene. Well, the look in Lucas’ face when he saw her was just priceless. Pure joy. Everything melted away in that moment. Gone was the drunken, depressed, heartbroken Lucas. It may have been a sudden change, but it was a beautiful moment of awakening for him. But once again, what is with Peyton laughing when they kiss? She does that so much. I was kinda hoping for a sexier moment there but I’m not going to complain too much. Her joy was overflowing and that’s fine with me.

Them in the Vegas room…her mirror comment was HILARIOUS. I loved that. Now only if we got to see it in action…did I really just saw that out loud?? You know you were thinking it too!! I mean really, we should have at least seen a shirt come off there! LOL

The text messages were adorable although I didn’t really understand the significance of bringing Psycho Derek up so much! What is with that?The chapel scene was too funny. You’ll never hear me say it again but I’m glad they didn’t get married. Wow, that was some cheesy mess.But oh my, going back to the original hotel room and then them repeating the lines from 5×18! That was wonderful! I was spoiled on the fact he didn’t really get to propose so I expected it but I still didn’t like it much that he didn’t do a full-on proposal. I would have liked some romantic lines there. But they got engaged! Woot! Woot!The amount of Leyton goodness was just off the charts this episode. Unbelievable. It’s like Season 5 never really happened and we were seeing where they SHOULD have been right after Season 4. It was a beautiful thing to watch.

OK, on to the rest of the episode!

Jamie and Quentin were so funny and cute in this episode. I loved how they brought something the fans enjoyed in real life at the game and put it in an episode. Thank you, Mark! Haley learning the dance was so cute! In fact, even though Naley didn’t get too many scenes, we did get a little kiss from them and they really seem so happy. And really, isn’t that the point they are at right now? They got through Carrie and are on the mend.

Deb and Skills. I honestly can’t tell if they’re growing on me or not. There’s definitely a comedic quality to them but I’m not to the point where I’m seeing anything but cougar quality. Not feelin’ the love on that one yet. Nathan is hilarious though. I loved his “scarred for life” comment.

Mouth and Millicent. I was about to have heart failure when Millicent said she wouldn’t go with Mouth. I was like, hey, wait a minute! You’re supposed to be with Mouth! Brooke and Mouth were sweet together. I loved her question about who topped me although it was a bit sad. First she loses her mother and then Mouth :( But more on Brooke in a minute. I was shocked Brooke fired Millicent and then Millicent was like OK! A little weird but I’m glad Millicent is going with Mouth.

Poor Brooke. I can’t believe the way Victoria is acting. I’m proud of Brooke wanting to stand up for her line. And the way she stood up to Sam. That was awesome. She is not taking the crap now. But how is she supposed to fight a robber like that? I was blown away at that scene. I couldn’t believe how he was beating her down. Poor thing. No wonder she goes to a dark place this season!

And finally can we talk about Psycho Nanny Carrie. Did Mark watch a little Stephen King before writing this? Wow. Pretty intense stuff there. Definitely earned the show the title of soap opera drama. Is it possible I actually feel bad for Dan? I did. I do. Nanny Carrie has seriously lost her mind. And you know…I was surprised she was after Jamie and not Nathan. That threw me for a little loop there.

So let me stop rambling. That was hands down my favorite episode ever. It moved nicely, the writing was so awesome and it had so much Leyton I could hardly stand myself.

Previews for next week look even better.
