(male narrator) Previously on "One Tree Hill.."

Look, I know I screwed up as a father

but I'd like to be a good grandfather.

You should have thought of that

before you killed Jamie's great-uncle.

- I passed on the Omaha job. - Marvin!

I feel like I'm good at what I do, Millicent

and I'll just work hard

and hope the station gives me another shot.

Are you sure?

That I'm doing the right thing? I don't know.

But about us?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I trusted you, alright?

- Quentin, you needed this. - I needed this?

You know what? I needed a scholarship!

I needed you to keep your mouth shut!

That's what I needed!

(Brooke) Millicent..

...they're giving me a baby.

Lindsey, I love you.

I love you too, Luke

but it takes more than love to build a marriage.

I'm willing to learn.

[instrumental music]

This is for you.

You're giving me the beach house?

I don't want it.

Son.

I have a bad heart.

I have six months to live.

(Jamie) Daddy, what's wrong with Grandpa Dan?

What do you mean?

He didn't come to my birthday party.

Everyone else came.

I really wanted him to come.

Yeah, I know you did, buddy.

Your party was still pretty cool, right?

Yeah, but Grandpa Dan said he missed me.

[sighs]

Well, you know that old jersey

that you love so much?

Uh-huh.

That was from your Grandpa Dan.

Really? I knew it!

[footsteps]

- Hey! - Hey.

Mama, Grandpa Dan got me this birthday present.

Wow!

Can I talk to you for a second?

- He's dying, Hales. - What?

Dan needs a heart transplant. He says it's his HCM.

He's got six months to live, maybe not even that.

Do you believe him? He's not even that old.

I don't know. I mean, it's Dan.

But he's even drawn up a will

and he's leaving us the beach house

among other things.

And this time, he seemed..

...scared.

I mean, I've seen my father be a lot of things, Hales

but never scared.

Well, if it is true, at least now we know

why he wants to spend so much time with Jamie.

Nothing like a ticking clock.

Ticking clock or not..

...Dan's not spending any time with Jamie.

[instrumental music]

(Brooke) Come on, baby girl. Give me a smile.

Well, fine, have it your way

but we got a big week ahead of us, kid.

Tonight we'll meet the doctor who's gonna make you all better

and tomorrow Aunt Millicent's gonna watch you

while I go to my super-duper important meeting.

Yeah.

You're gonna be okay without me?

[doorbell rings]

It's open!

Hey, what are you doing here?

Did you think I was gonna forget

something this important?

Seven o'clock, right?

Yeah, 7:00 PM.

But I appreciate the enthusiasm, Luke.

I am kind of nervous about the whole hospital thing.

I'm not really a big fan of hospitals.

How's it going? Better?

Yeah. I'm starting to get it down.

She's sleeping through the night now.

See? I told you you'd be a good mom.

Is it what you expected?

It's a lot of work.

A lot more than I ever thought it could be.

But she's so cute!

Oh, God, that was, like, the best night's sleep ever!

Luke, hey. What are you doing here?

He just came by for Angie's pre-op appointment.

Talk about a gentleman.

Probably should have just called.

(Lucas) 'Well..'

...Brooke, I'll pick you up later.

Sounds good.

Bye, Luke!

You two.

God.

[baby cooing]

They're silly. Aren't they silly?

He knew there was practice this morning, right?

I told him.

Okay.

[whistle blows]

Bring it in.

So as you can all see

Q.'s out for six weeks.

Which means we're gonna have to make it

to the playoffs without him.

Every single one of you is gonna have to step it up.

Now, there's 12 games between now and the playoffs.

We can't afford to lose many.

Any questions?

Hey, just because Quentin's injured

doesn't mean the season's over.

Now, here's what I'm expecting from each and every one of you.

Q., where you goin'?

Ain't nothing here for me now, man.

Hey, Q., you can't just quit.

Yeah, I just did!

[sighs]

Mm! Look what we got.

More squash and peas. Yummy.

She loves it. Go figure.

Hey, about that, um

I just want you to know, I am available to help with Angie.

It's just my hair's been on fire tryin' to get

the new recording studio done.

It's okay. You are excused from baby duty.

Besides..

...I kind of like having the time alone with Angie

so don't feel bad.

And anyway

Angie's scared of her creepy

Aunt Peyton, isn't she?

Yes. We like Uncle Lucas better.

- Hey! - I'm kidding.

We're kidding, aren't we? Yes.

I mean, it is pretty great that he's helpin' out.

It's kind of Mr. Mom, but it's nice.

It's cute.

And anyway, he's still pining

over Lindsey, so..

- I'm helping distract him. - Yeah.

Well, speaking of distractions

I actually have to get going to the studio.

Why? Who's recording?

Oh, just this girl you might know.

Haley James Scott.

Did you hear that, baby girl?

Haley James Scott's making music again.

That's got to be worth a smile. Yeah?

[Arden Kaywin singing "When Will It Happen"]

♪ 'Cause it's hard ♪

[sighs]

Get out of here, creepy. You're scaring her.

[laughs]

[grunts]

Hello. Come on. Ooh.

♪ And I won't break tonight ♪

♪ Only so much I can take ♪♪

Marvin!

- Do you have a voodoo doll? - Excuse me?

That, or did you fix the salmon mousse in the cafeteria?

My sports on-air is sick as a dog.

He just, uh, booted all over the station floor.

And you want me to clean that up?

[chuckles] Uh...no.

'Listen, I know we haven't spoken much'

since I took over for Alice..

...and I know you were close with her.

Um, pretty close, yeah.

Anyway, I really liked the remote piece

you did on the Ravens.

So how would you like to fill in tomorrow?

Really?

Uh, what about the weekend guy?

'He's okay.'

But then how would you get your big shot?

[chuckles]

I got three slots. 4:00, 5:00 and 6:00.

I need you to do sports for all three.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Oh, and, uh, Marvin, I heard about your Omaha offer.

I think you made the right decision.

[instrumental music]

Sweet!

[bell rings]

Luke, do you have a second?

Yeah, sure. What's up?

It's Dan.

He's dying.

Right.

I'm serious. It's something about his heart.

He had Nathan out to the beach house to tell him.

- And Nathan believes him? - I think so.

At least, he seemed pretty convinced.

Dan drafted up a will and everything.

Why? You think he's lying?

Of course he's lying!

[sighs]

Alright, I-I'll get into it, okay?

But in the meantime, be careful, alright?

Don't let him suck you and Nathan back into his life.

'I know. I'm with you on that.'

But what if he's telling the truth?

What if he really is dying?

Well, then, all I have to say is..

...it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[grunts]

You'll get it back again, trust me.

What are you doing here?

You told me in the gym, you weren't trying to come back.

And I know you are. It's what I would do.

- It's not a comeback. - Sure.

You know, Nathan, you may just have to face the fact

that you'll never be the same player you once were

but that doesn't mean you still won't be a great player.

You just have to learn how to play differently.

Reinvent yourself.

The best players always find a way.

Okay, try it again, but slow it down a tad.

- Stop it! - Stop what?

Following me. Trying to see Jamie.

This. All of it.

Dan, I don't care that you're dying, okay?

This isn't happening.

We're done here.

Nathan, don't hate me because I'm proud

of your accomplishments.

Take it from someone who knows.

You don't wanna live a life of regret.

It's not too late. You can have your dream.

You just have to really want it.

[grunts] Stop it, okay?

You don't get it, do you?

Just stop it. All of it!

And leave my family alone!

[instrumental music]

Oh, there! Check it out.

How awesome is this, Haley? It's Red Bedroom Studios.

Yeah, it's great.

Hey.

What's going on with you?

Nothing. I'm fine. It's just, um...nothing.

- The studio looks awesome. - So what is it?

[sighs]

Can I just ask you a personal question?

Yeah, please do.

If you had the chance to get to know your real father

would you want to?

Oh, wow.

I mean, you know before Ellie

I probably would have said no

but she was awesome.

And, so yeah, it does make me kind of wonder

about my real dad sometimes.

But...you know, then again

what if I meet him and I don't like him?

So sometimes I think it's just easier not to know

and go with my own idealized version of him.

Yeah.

Why do you ask?

Um..

...there's a chance Dan might be dying.

Are you kidding?

Does Nathan know?

'Yeah, Nathan and Lucas both know.'

The problem is with Jamie.

He is obsessed with getting to know

his grandfather and if Dan's really sick

he might not get the chance to do that.

God, Haley, I'm sorry. That's tough, man.

Um...I mean, I will say

that getting to know Ellie changed my life.

'And I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be standing here'

'if it weren't for her.'

Then again, Ellie wasn't Dan Scott.

Well, you look healthy.

Come on in, Lucas.

- Have a seat. - Nah, that's okay.

What I have to say I can say from right here.

Well, suit yourself.

But you of all people should take this seriously.

There's nothing wrong with my heart.

And if I know you, there's nothing wrong

with yours, either.

I wish that was true.

But I've got the best cardiologist money can buy

and even he can't help me.

Dr. Thorton. Call him yourself.

- I might just do that. - Good.

And when you do, you'll find out

that I'm not lying.

Without a transplant, I'll be dead within six months.

But you're dead to so many of us already, Dan.

So really, what does it matter?

[instrumental music]

So do you wanna put down the piano scratch track first?

Yeah, that's perfect.

Hey!

Who would have thought that one day

we'd be in our own recording studio

making your next record together?

On your label.

It's great that you're really enjoying

your work so much, Peyton.

Just as long as you're not using it to hide behind.

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, before the wedding

I told Lucas that he shouldn't marry Lindsey.

[laughing] Please. Why?

'Because I just read his new novel'

and when I did, I knew right away

that he was still in love with you

whether he's ready to admit it or not.

It's a book, okay?

You can't draw those kind of conclusions from a story.

Really? What about when I write my music?

Some of my subconscious always ends up sneaking

into my lyrics somewhere.

'I don't even notice it until the song's done.'

I think Lucas is the same way with his writing.

Well, I watched him up on that altar

and it's very clear to me where his heart lies

and if I can see it

I'm not really sure why Lindsey can't.

'You know, it's unfair to Luke.'

He loves her.

I think she's just afraid of the idea of you..

...your history with him.

Think how you'd feel if the roles were reversed.

[instrumental music]

Hi. Sorry if I kept you waiting. Dr. Copeland.

- You must be Brooke Davis. - Mm-hmm.

- Clothes, right? - Yes.

I thought you looked familiar.

- Which must make you-- - A friend.

- Lucas Scott. - Great.

So, I just wanted

to run through the surgical procedure

so you can know what to expect.

Are you familiar with Angie's condition?

Not really. She has a hole in her heart, right?

She has a number of holes, actually

but we're gonna fix them.

We'll put Angie under a general anesthesia.

We'll stop her heart, and then I'll do the repairs.

You have to stop her heart for how long?

Two hours, maybe longer

depending on the extent of her condition.

Two hours?

(Dr. Copeland) 'Yes, that-that's how we do it, Brooke.'

Angie will be on a heart-and-lung machine

which will keep blood and oxygen circulating in her body.

Uh, then I will graft skin from another part of her heart

'and use it to fix the holes.'

How do you intend to restart Angie's heart?

After the repairs are complete, we will use an electric shock.

And once she's stabilized, we'll take her to the ICU

and you'll be able to see her then.

I know I don't have a choice here

but...this seems so dangerous.

Is-is there some other way?

Hmm, uh, I'm sorry, but, um, no

there-there is no other way to correct Angie's condition.

Dr. Copeland, what's Angie's prognosis

if she didn't have the surgery?

A year, maybe two.

And then what?

She'll die.

[baby cooing]

(Dr. Copeland) 'Look, Brooke, it's-it's okay to be nervous'

but, um, I-I just, I want you to focus

on what a great thing it is that you're doing for Angie.

Okay.

Thank you.

So, if there are no further questions

I will see you next week.

Actually, there is one thing.

Do you happen to know a Dr. Thorton?

You're shooting like me now.

Yeah, we both former Ravens now too.

What?

- Why? - Oh, well, I don't know.

Let's see. This thing? Hmm?

You're still part of the team, Q.

'You can't just quit because you're injured.'

You sound like your brother now.

I mean, I expected a little grief from you

but what's Lucas know about playing injured anyway?

Let me tell you something about Lucas.

Lucas played injured his entire senior year.

It cost him a lot of playing time

but he never gave up on his team.

And what if they make the playoffs?

They won't.

Even if they do, man, it's my shooting hand, Nate.

I ain't gonna be ready for the scouts anyway.

Well, then you'll have to learn how to play differently.

You'll have to reinvent your game.

Reinvent my..

Man, that ain't that easy, okay?

Who said it was gonna be easy?

But what are you gonna do? Are you gonna quit?

Are you gonna throw away everything you ever worked for?

No, I'm not going to. I already did, okay?

You know I punched that dude for you?

Oh, come on.

I've thrown a lot of punches

and every last one was selfish.

Now face it, Q.

You punched that guy for you.

Deal with it.

You're dead, dude! Deal with it!

[knock on door]

Hey!

These games are so addicting.

I just waxed a 13-year-old kid from Arkansas.

- He was pretty upset. - Okay.

We're gonna have to keep an eye on that.

Millie, you won't guess what happened to me today at work.

What?

I'm gonna get a shot to anchor

the sports segments tomorrow.

- No way! - Yeah, the regular guy's sick.

And the station manager's giving me a shot.

Marvin, that is great!

Just think of all those people

who are gonna be watching you on TV.

You wanna come? You can be there at the station.

I wish I could, but Brooke has her big presentation tomorrow

and I promised to look after the baby.

But I'll watch every minute of you

on the big screen at the store.

[giggles]

I'm so proud of you, Marvin.

You're gonna do great.

[laughs]

[Tom Hason singing "My Love In Blue"]

Mama, where does Grandpa Dan live?

Uh, why?

I need to thank him for my birthday present.

Can you take me?

[laughs]

Um, well, I-I can't do that right now

'cause, well, Grandpa Dan lives at the beach

and it's getting kind of late.

But I'll tell you what we can do.

You can write your Grandpa Dan a thank-you note

and I will make sure that he gets it.

Cool! I'll write the best thank-you note ever.

Okay, cool.

[Low Vs. Diamond singing "Song We Sang Away"]

(Lucas) So...without Quentin

we have no inside game, no defense--

And no assists.

♪ We say ♪

I got an idea.

Yeah, let's hear it.

I say we push the tempo and just shoot three's

like, almost all three's.

(Antwon) 'I mean, we still got some good outside shooters'

'and they're in pretty good shape, so if we push it'

we might just run the score up high enough

to where we don't need no big man in the paint.

Almost all three's, huh?

Hey, it wasn't my idea. It was him.

That's a good idea, Jamie.

(Lucas) But, see, with that kind of offense

we're gonna need a really strong player

to distribute the ball

and get back on D.

You've already got that player.

Quentin.

Well, I have that breakfast meeting at 7:30.

[knock on door] Come in.

Hi.

Uh, I got to go.

We need to talk.

What are you doing here, Peyton?

Okay, weird and totally inappropriate of me.

But I'm kind of here for Lucas and for you.

Peyton, I already told you, there's nothing to say.

Please, hear me out.

'Cause I know that he loves you

and he hasn't wavered from that.

Yes, he wrote about a comet

but in his non-fiction life

he seems very much in love with you.

Have you read the book, Peyton?

I didn't think so, because if you had

you wouldn't be so sure who Lucas loves and how much.

Lindsey, the book was a work of fiction.

But what wasn't fiction was the fact

that he said "I do" to you in that church.

[instrumental music]

It's not me that has to make

a decision about Lucas.

It's you.

Go home, Peyton.

Go home and read his book.

Alright, you ready?

Oh, there it is. Hold your follow-through.

Daddy, Quentin's teaching me

to shoot left-hand free throws.

Oh, yeah?

- You wanted to see me? - Yeah.

Yeah, actually, hold that thought, okay?

Jamie, um, keep shooting. I'll be right back.

Oh, and, hey, Quentin, you're not quitting the Ravens.

You quit the Ravens?

- Yeah, I got hurt, little man. - My daddy got hurt too.

Sometimes it makes him sad.

I'd give anything to see him play again.

I can tell he wants to.

You realize I can make one phone call

and have your parole revoked

for coming around here like this?

Just hear me out, Nathan.

and never come back, if that's what you want.

Okay, you got five minutes.

I'm sorry.

Man, I-I said some things that were just out of line.

[sighs] I was just upset about my wrist.

And I didn't think you had my back.

Lucas and I don't have your best interest at heart

that's the day I got to call you on it.

'and what's best for you.'

Now, Lucas and Nathan, they good people, man

but you got to trust us

and you got to know that we gonna do whatever it takes

to get you where you wanna be.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

So...about that, uh

that locker I cleared out yesterday..

...you didn't give it away, did you?

We probably could get that back.

Hey, Q.

Apology accepted, man.

Okay, we're in this together.

It's just me and you.

So we have to work like a team, alright?

It's just, this is really important to me

and I just get this one shot, so I'm depending on you.

Yeah.

Good.

Now, you and I are gonna go back in that room

and kick a little presentation butt, alright?

- You with me? - So are you with me?

So we're all just gonna shoot three's, coach?

For the most part.

I mean, I'm not gonna tell you to pass on any open layups

but...yeah.

I want you shooting the ball within eight seconds

of every possession. Got it?

But if we just shooting three's, who's gonna get us the ball?

[whistle blows]

Nice! Nice job, Q.

With you at point, this crazy offense might just work.

Yes!

Hey-hey, coach, can I get a second?

Yeah. Hey, hey, Nate. Hey, hey!

Listen...listen, I, uh..

I just wanted to say thanks.

It's all good.

Hell, it was Jamie's idea anyway.

No, I mean, thanks for believing in me.

Thanks for showing me the way back.

Just do your best, Q.

I'll do you one better, alright?

[chuckles] I'll make you a deal.

I'm gonna do this.

I'm gonna work hard, but you need to work hard too.

Okay? For yourself, for Jamie.

You know, comeback?

Comeback sucks, in case you haven't noticed.

Yeah, I know for now it does

but, look..

You saw something in me before I even saw it in myself.

Maybe this is that. Hmm?

A couple hours every day

practice, you and me, huh?

Okay. Okay, it's a deal.

Just don't call it a comeback.

Alright.

That was some comeback, Mouth.

For a while there, we didn't think you were gonna make it.

[chuckles] Nice work, buddy.

Thank you so much, Millie.

I couldn't have done it without you.

I didn't do anything. You did it all.

You helped.

Look at that. You wrote your thank-you note to Grandpa Dan?

Well, let's see what it says.

Okay.

"Dear Grandpa Dan

"I had the best birthday ever.

"Thank you for the great jersey.

"It makes me feel just like my dad when I wear it."

What are we gonna do about Jamie and Dan?

I don't know.

I just can't believe he's dying.

I mean, as horrible as he's been

it's hard to imagine him gone for good.

I know nothing's more important than this family..

...but if you need closure with your father, I understand.

Just be careful.

I thought a lot about what you said

and you were right about a lot of things.

I know I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have

without you pushing me.

And if there's one thing I've learned over the past four years

it's that family is important.

You're right, son.

Our family is the most important thing.

No. I mean my family.

And you're not part of it anymore.

That's what I came here to tell you.

- Nathan, please. - 'I'm sorry that you're dying.'

But you have to know I can never forgive you.

Not now, not ever.

So, that's it?

You're just gonna make that decision.

'No, dad.'

You made that decision for me
