[Bruce Springsteen singing "My Hometown"]

[engine revving]

(Lucas) When I was a boy, my family took me on a trip.

We didn't go to any exotic place.

We didn't go anywhere glamorous.

We just drove.

(Jamie) Where did you go, Uncle Lucas?

We drove the back road to Tree Hill.

And we saw all kinds of wonderful things.

(Jamie) But where were you going?

(Lucas) Everywhere. Anywhere.

But where we ended up really wasn't the point.

It was the things we saw..

...and the people we met along the way.

(Jamie) Who was with you?

(Lucas) It was just my mom, my uncle, and me.

(Jamie) Where was your daddy?

(Lucas) He wasn't there.

[music continues]

[chuckles]

So you want to talk about this?

Well, you hate my book and you think I picked the wrong girl

to spend the rest of my life with.

- What's there to talk about? - Stop it.

You know that I love Lindsey.

Oh, but I don't?

I mean, I think I do.

But I guess I'm just lying to myself. Is that your story?

Geez, see if I read anything you write ever again.

Look, Hales, you can't say that the manuscript I gave you

is about Peyton.

It's about yearning and want, Luke.

I think you wrote it about Peyton

because you still love her.

And I think it's about a guy watching the sky.

But thanks for caring.

Well, whatever you do, just don't show

'those pages to Lindsey.'

I already did.

Mom!

And?

- Lucas? - Mom!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, I missed you, baby boy!

Oh, I missed you too.

- Uh! Haley! - Hi!

- How are you? - Oh, I'm good.

Oh, and who is this?

It's me, Aunt Karen, James Lucas Scott.

No, you are not James Lucas Scott.

Jamie Scott is a baby.

- I got bigger. - You got bigger!

Oh, my goodness. Look at you.

- Where's Lily? - Yeah, ma.

Where's my little sister?

Your little sister is with Andy.

[laughs]

[laughing]

I think it's really great that you and my mom

are back together, Andy.

Thanks, Luke.

I think it's really great that you're almost gonna get married.

Well, I mean, till your fiance meets me.

I gotta talk to my mom about getting rid of you.

Listen, um..

...I love your mom and Lily

but I want you to know something.

I'd give it all up if Keith could be here

on your wedding day.

And all the days after that.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

[whistling "Here Comes The Bride"]

I do love a wedding.

Perfect occasion for a family reunion.

[whistling "Funeral March"]

Alright, dude, sit still.

You want to be the second-best-looking guy

in this church, don't you?

- Second-best? - Daddy!

He-hey!

[grunts]

Jamie's gonna be the man.

I'm gonna be second-best.

You'll be lucky to make the top 10, Luke.

Thanks.

Oh, come here.

I love you, boy.

How much have you grown in the last week, a foot?

Maybe. Aunt Karen didn't even know me.

Wow!

Alright.

Ooh! And daddy, did you see mama?

She looked pretty.

I'll bet.

You know the drill, right?

You're gonna lead Lindsey down the aisle with Lily

and then when you get to me..

...you're gonna give me these two rings.

Whoa. Treasure!

Nice, huh?

And worth, like, all the money in the world.

So when I give them to you, don't lose them, okay?

'Cause Uncle Lucas can't finish his second book, and he's poor.

I'm sorry you're poor, Uncle Lucas.

Thanks, Jamie.

[chuckles]

Hey, daddy, when you married mama

was it your best day ever?

Actually, um, I think the day I graduated high school

was my best day ever.

How come?

Well, 'cause that's the day you were born.

Now, lace 'em up. Chop-chop.

Got any intel for me with my girl?

Uh, not really.

She misses you. She's still stubborn.

Same as last week.

But I'll tell you it kind of sucks for you

that my mom's here.

Why's that?

Well, she raised a son

with a really great uncle, and no husband.

Dan sucks.

[door opens]

Flowers for the bride..

...who's clearly not here. Sorry.

- I'll take 'em. - I'll take 'em.

Dude, you got to give me this one.

If I take these flowers to Lindsey

I get some face time with Haley.

Forget it, man, Lindsey's been staying

with Haley to make it all romantic.

- I haven't seen her in a week. - So? It's bad luck.

Besides, what do you think is gonna go down

before your wedding in a church?

Oh, you underestimate me.

You're going to hell.

Listen. You and Lindsey are good, okay.

You're still in that blissed-out, best-underwear

she-still-laughs at-your-stupid-jokes phase.

- My jokes aren't stupid. - That's what you think.

Look, the point is, I need this, okay?

I'm fading fast here.

(Haley) 'Oh, flowers from a gentleman.'

(Lucas) 'Hey, we can help you out with that.'

- Hey, look who it is. - Sorry, bad luck.

[sighs]

"Hey, look who it is?"

Lily.

Oh, I sure did miss you, you think you can let

No! You're bad luck!

♪ You were a good thing ♪

How did I get so lucky?

Mm.

Mm, you know, if I knew

being engaged would be like this

I'd have proposed when we met.

It's the book.

The book?

- My book? - I love it, Lucas.

I love what you wrote, and I love that you wrote it.

It's so romantic.

Okay, we can definitely talk about this later.

Hmm.

♪ That you're still ♪

You know, can I ask you..

[chuckles]

How do you mean "romantic?"

- What? - Well.

I'm glad you like it and all but..

...I didn't really expect "romantic."

I mean, it's about a scientist and the stars.

Luke, are you kidding me?

I cried so much.

He's just this lost, little boy

and then he sees the comet

and suddenly, his life has meaning.

And then he waits his whole life for the comet to return.

He has faith that it will

even though science, and his intellect

tells him it won't.

His heart still believes.

Hmm.

It's beautiful, Lucas.

And heartbreaking.

It's an epic love story.

It's about a comet.

It's about love in its purest form.

When I think about how it came from your heart

and your mind..

...it makes me so happy to know that I found you.

And that I get to be your wife.

♪ You were a good thing ♪♪

[chuckles]

Thank you.

I love you, Lindsey.

I love you, Lucas.

[sighs] I'm sorry, we're closed!

Oh, my God!

Do you hate me?

No, I am proud of you!

I missed you! How's Lily?

Oh, she's good. She's very girly.

But you'll see her at the wedding.

Yeah, oh, God, unless I'm so late that I miss it.

I'm supposed to be there, you're supposed to be there!

No, I know, I-I just wanted to come by and see the cafe

and see you and maybe catch Peyton.

She's on her way.

Good.

How's she doing?

She's a mess.

She's trying to put on a brave face

and be noble..

...but we all thought this was gonna be her day.

Yeah.

And how are you? Are you happy?

You are doing so well.

Thank you.

You're tailgating at Luke's wedding.

- Hmm? - I'm designated driver.

So what up, P. Sawyer? You got a plan?

- Plan for what? - To steal Lucas back.

'Oh, so I'm the only one thinking like that, huh?'

Okay, look. Here's the drill.

When they say, "does anybody have any reason

that this thing shouldn't go down?"

- Bam! That's you. - Oh.

They don't do that at real weddings, Skills.

Hmm. They should, though.

You know, that's good drama.

Anyway. How about this?

I say we drug Lindsey first..

'...even though I love her.'

Then we throw you in the wedding gown

so when Lucas lift up the veil, bam, it's on.

(Brooke) 'Um, Skills?'

That gown is tailor-made, so, no.

And Peyton is gonna be okay.

Right.

You know I love you, P. Sawyer, right?

But, baby girl, you are so far from okay

man, you ain't even in the same area code.

Wait, maybe Lucas will say the wrong name on the altar

just like Ross did on "Friends."

Okay. How about this?

How about Peyton puts on a nice dress..

...watches Lucas get married, gets wasted

and has drunk, meaningless sex

with some guy at the reception?

Yes.

Hey, baby, I ever tell you how sexy you look in that dress?

[laughing]

Maybe we should head in.

Hey, uh, aren't you watching Jamie?

You know what? You're right.

We got to get one for him too.

Let's do it!

See y'all inside.

I meant what I said.

- You're gonna be okay. - No, I know.

I know. I just-I just need a minute, you know?

Okay.

I'll save you a seat.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[indistinct chattering]

[intense music]

Can I help you?

- Hello, Haley. - Save it.

You're not going into that church.

And you're not gonna talk to my son

my husband, Karen, or Lucas, for that matter.

You should be careful about being so bossy.

I've been in prison a long time.

- Kind of sexy. - 'Don't screw with me, Dan.'

This is the last conversation you and I will ever have.

Enjoy your reprehensible, miserable life.

[intense music]

(Nathan) 'You ready for this?'

Yeah.

- I'm ready. - 'Alright.'

Well, I'm not much for speeches, but, um..

...you're a good guy, Luke.

You're a good friend and you're a great brother.

Whatever life throws at you, I got your back, alright?

Thanks.

Big things. Big, important things.

No, like, this is the night

we're gonna tell our children about

and our children's children.

I'd like to have kids someday.

No, a little girl..

...just like you.

I'm sorry. I'm-I'm sorry. But you just, you can't!

Because I love you..

...and because you fixed my car!

- Oh, boy. - 'Remember that day?'

Because that day changed everything and I just..

...I-I didn't know it at the time.

'But when you fixed my car, you fixed my heart.'

And when you proposed to me two years ago

I just wasn't ready.

'And I was lost and scared'

so I said "someday," but someday's now, Luke, it is.

"Someday" is now, and I love you.

Please don't leave me again.

People always leave.

Do you promise to be true to her?

(Peyton) At least, that's what I should have said.

(Peyton) Instead, I said nothing.

And he said..

I do.
