OTH - Episode 7 Messin’ with the Kid Review

I had a great time with this episode. What a great, light-hearted time watching everyone tonight. Well, almost everyone. Let’s go down a list here!

I have to start out with Lucas and Peyton. How much fun was that?? The dream really surprised me. All week I’ve been saying since when is Lucas so messy?? Glad to see I hadn’t missed a character flaw. LOL. It was just so good to see them have fun. And Leyton didn’t seem so corny. Sometimes when they have fun, it’s corny–think Season 4. Tonight was silly, yes, but it was pretty true to life. No, maybe my husband and I have never taped our house but figuring each other out? Laughing in bed? Arguing about music? Discussing magazine articles? Yes, it’s all there and it was so good to see Peyton and Lucas together. Not be dramatic. Not be cheesy. Just be a couple. It was wonderful.

Fergalicous. Need I say more?

So it was Owen’s big explanation tonight. I loved that Brooke gave him such a hard time for us all. Loved the Jerk comment the whole way through. But I liked that they tied in his explanation to his childhood. Brooke can relate to that right? And Brooke was still feelin’ it. I loved her little smirk when she closed the door on him the last time. That definitely isn’t the last we’ll see of them. Go Browen!
It was good seeing Brooke and Sam. I liked that they didn’t make it easy. I can’t imagine having a teen foster child I think they even let Brooke off pretty easy actually.

May I say Nathan playing slamball is hot. Period.

And him with Jamie saving the day..hot dad? Hot.

Nice to at least a few Naley scenes in there. They’re so cute together.

Loved all the Scott comments by Dan, Nathan AND Jamie.

Jamie’s face at the end was SO cute!

The poncho! I can’t believe they brought up the poncho. Loved it!

And speaking of bringing things back…Gigi’s back! And it doesn’t see like she’s changed a whole bunch except lost her glasses and started having sex…and a lot apparently. Can we say TMI??

Grace and Haley were great together. I can’t wait to have Haley back to doing what she loves.

And may I say I didn’t miss Skeb in this episode?

Loved Dan protecting his family with that kid’s mom. He’s like the head of the mob or something. Love it!

So what’d you think? Too light-hearted for our show? Just what we needed after a heavy start to our season?
