BASEBALL FIELD

A man remakes the field.

JAMIE (Voice-over): The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day. The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play.

Ian is on the field, thinking.

JAMIE (Voice-over): So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat, for there seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat.

Kids, Nathan, Clay and Julian prepare for the game.

NATHAN: Whoo! Okay. Everybody settle down, listen up. Coach Baker has something he wants to say.

JULIAN: Uh, so I know this is our first game, but it's the last game for me. You see, Brooke and I are moving to New York, so…

UMPIRE: Play ball!

(Kids leave)

JULIAN: I know this is gonna hurt some...Some of you.

FLASKBACK, BRULIAN’S HOUSE

Julian looks at video when he and Brooke are going to get their baby.

JULIAN (at video): Where are we, Brooke Davis?

BROOKE (at video): We're at the hospital.

JULIAN (at video): What are we doing here?

BROOKE (at video): We're getting our baby.

(Knock on door, it’s Nathan)

JULIAN: Dude, what's up?

NATHAN: I screwed up.

JULIAN: Why? What happened? It was so obvious, and I didn't see it.

NATHAN: Is this yours?

JULIAN: Yeah.

NATHAN: Ginger ale?

JULIAN: I like ginger ale. It settles the stomach. What's going on, Nate?

NATHAN: When the Wagoneer hit Lauren's S.U.V., where was it coming from, north or south?

JULIAN: It was coming from the south, heading north.

NATHAN: We got the wrong Kellerman. It wasn't August. It was Ian.

FLASHBACK, CLINN’S HOUSE

Nathan explains the story to Clay.

CLAY: But he confessed. You said Professor Kellerman came to the Rivercourt and said that he did it.

NATHAN: He lied. The bottle I found in the Wagoneer was Phidian's. And then tonight at the bar, Ian ordered sh*ts of bourbon to toast Lydia.

CLAY: Phidian's.

NATHAN: Said it's all he drinks.

CLAY: All right. So, maybe it's a family thing. It doesn't really prove anything.

NATHAN: There's more. At the Rivercourt, when Kellerman confessed, he said he was coming from a dinner that night in Raleigh.

CLAY: So?

NATHAN: So, he was coming from the south. Raleigh's north.

CLAY: All right, well, look, don't b*at yourself up over it just yet. I mean, you could still be wrong.

NATHAN: Maybe. But if I'm right, August Kellerman just ended a 30-year career because of me.

CLAY: Yeah. And his son let him. And he's our client.

BASEBALL FIELD

Ian practices. Then, he leaves and August walks on the field. Nathan joins him.

NATHAN: Professor Kellerman? We need to talk.

ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Brooke makes her stuff to go in New York. She sees the panel of Karen's Cafe.

CHASE'S BEDROOM

Chase and Alex are in bed. They slept together.

ALEX: So much for baby steps.

CHASE: You played guitar. Wasn't fair. Oh-ho-ho! I'm gonna go ahead and need you to play guitar again right now. Quickly.

ALEX: Man.

BASEBALL FIELD

Kids play. Quinn supports Jamie's team. Julian talks with Clay.

UMPIRE: Strike one!

QUINN: Yeah! Let's go, Sharks!

CLAY: There we go! Nice one! Go, Sharks!

QUINN: Let's go, Sharks!

JULIAN: Uh... What happened to Quinn?

CLAY: Uh, she's just busy. She'll be here. Attaboy! Two more just like that! Way to go, Sharks!

QUINN: Yeah, way to go, Sharks!

FLASHBACK, CLINN'S HOUSE

Quinn announces a good new to Clay.

QUINN: Baby! Guess where I'm going?

CLAY: Please don't say South Africa.

QUINN: I got an offer to sh**t a job in Puerto Rico. We're saying at the El Conquistador. It's next week. Do you want to go?

CLAY: I would, but I have training camp.

QUINN: Oh. That's too bad. I guess I'll have to do the whole supermodel bikini sh**t without you.

CLAY: Puerto Rico sounds awesome. I mean, pfft. Supermodels in bikinis? Have you seen my baby?

QUINN: Nice try.

CLAY: Yeah. But I do have camp. Uh, maybe you can invite the girls? Haley can't go, but Brooke and Alex.

QUINN: Maybe I will. By the way, I leave the day after Jamie's game, so you might want to come straight home because it's my last night, and my man is looking very sexy.

CLAY: Careful, I'm sweaty.

QUINN: Yes, you will be.

BASEBALL FIELD

Clay finds his mind. Jamie's team defends.

CLAY: All right, here we go, Sharks! Three up, three down! Let's go, let's go! Moving right along!

JULIAN: Attaboy, Jamie!

CLAY: Yes! Very nice! Now hustle in! Real quick! Real quick!

Nathan announces who plays for their game.

NATHAN: All right, first up we have Chuck, which seems like a bad idea. Then it's Madison, Jamie, and Daniel. All right, let's get some hits.

CLAY: All right! Let's go, Sharks!

NATHAN: Chuck! Come on, buddy. You're up.

CHUCK: Whatever.

AERODROME

Chase waits someone.

FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC

Chuck is with Chase. He wants him to ask something.

CHUCK: Ahh. Oh, I meant to tell you we have a game on Friday. Think you could come?

CHASE: What time is the game?

CHUCK: 4:00. It's okay if you can't. I just thought it might be cool if you could.

CHASE: Hmm. I've got some stuff going on, but I'll be there. 4:00. Wouldn't miss it.

AERODROME

Chase waits yet.

NALEY'S HOUSE

Brooke visits Haley with a surprise.

BROOKE: Hello! I have come to offer you a trade. Last remnants of Karen's café for Lydia straight up.

HALEY: Oh, I don't know. That's tempting.

BROOKE: I'll throw in my car. And my sunglasses. Car has new tires, but that's it.

HALEY: Hmm. What do you say? Say "no deal."

BROOKE: Say yes!

HALEY: "No deal! I like it here!" Sorry.

BROOKE: Fine. You can have the sign anyway. I know Karen's meant a lot to you, too.

HALEY: Oh, thank you so much. I always wanted that.

BROOKE: Yeah. Hi!

HALEY: I'm getting so sad today.

BROOKE: Why?

HALEY: I was thinking about the Rivercourt, and now this sign. I just feel like it's the end of something really good, you know? Makes me sad.

BROOKE: Well, on the upside, Lydia and I talked, and she told me that she wants to spend every weekend in New York, shopping and seeing plays...And hanging out with her Aunt Brooke.

HALEY: Ohh.

BROOKE: Huh? Yes.

HALEY: I am gonna miss you, Brooke Davis, like you can't imagine.

BROOKE: Of course I can. I'm gonna miss you the same. I love you.

HALEY: You too.

BROOKE: What if I throw in Julian's truck?

HALEY: Not gonna happen.

BROOKE: Ahh, it's a good deal. Tell your mommy she didn't even have you a week ago.

HALEY: Oh, no!

BROOKE: She didn't even have you a week ago! Ohh! I know!

FLASHBACK, BASEBALL FIELD

Nathan talks with August.

NATHAN: It wasn't you. It was Ian.

AUGUST: It doesn't matter. I resigned.

NATHAN: To cover for your son. Why?

AUGUST: Because he's my son.

NATHAN: But your career. 30 years, Professor Kellerman.

AUGUST: Well, Mr. Kellerman now. And you asked why I did it, not whether or not he was worth it. I haven't had a drink since my wife d*ed. We're fathers, Nathan. This is what we do for our sons. It just is.

BASEBALL FIELD

It's to Madison to hit the ball.

UMPIRE: Strike three!

NATHAN: All right, buddy, here we go!

It's to Jamie to hit the ball.

JAMIE(Voice-over): It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, for Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat. There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place. There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face.

UMPIRE: Strike one!

NATHAN: That's all right, Jamie. You can do it! Make sure it's your pitch, buddy.

QUINN: Let's go, bud! This one's yours!

UMPIRE: Strike two!

QUINN: That's all right! Good cut, buddy!

NATHAN: It's okay, Jamie. Keep your eye on the ball, buddy.

UMPIRE: Strike three!

Jamie joins others.

CHUCK: Wow, Jamie. You bat like my mom.

JAMIE: Really? How about we ask her? Oh, wait she's not here, is she?

FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC

Alex joins Chase and Chuck.

CHASE: There she is Alex Dupré. I want you to meet someone.

ALEX: Oh. You must be Chuck. I've heard a lot about you.

CHUCK: And you're Alex. I saw pictures of you on the Internet. Naughty, naughty.

CHASE: Hey!

CHUCK: So are you guys, like, doing stuff?

ALEX: What kind of stuff? You mean like going to the movies, talking on the phone, and holding hands? 'Cause we totally do that kind of stuff.

CHUCK: Gross. Or maybe awesome. I don't know. I got to go to the bathroom.

CHASE: I told you about that root beer. Don't make me tell Alex about the camping trip.

CHUCK: Shut up! Stinking drag-leg Laura!

(Chuck leaves)

ALEX: What?

CHASE: Sorry.

ALEX: No, it's okay. He's cute. Kind of. So, what's up?

CHASE: I need a favor. You ever taken a drug test?

ALEX: Why, are you taking one?

CHASE: Have you?

ALEX: Dude, if they drug-tested me, I would never work again. I'm kidding. I know everything there is to know about drug tests. Ask me anything.

CHASE: All right. How long does it take for a couple hits off a joint to clear your system?

ALEX: When did you get high?

CHASE: Um, I didn't, really. Not on purpose. You remember the Kid Cudi show?

FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC

Chase enters in the Kid Cudi's room.

CHASE: More beers for you guys. Have a good show.

MAN: No one leaves without hitting this.

CHASE: Is he serious?

MAN: Yeah.

FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC

Alex is laughing.

ALEX: That's amazing.

CHASE: How long?

ALEX: I don't know. I mean, it's different for everyone. Can you risk it?

CHASE: No. I need a favor.

ALEX: Huh?

FLASHBACK, CLINN'S HOUSE

Quinn is in bikini.

CLAY: Quinn? Hey, Quinn! Holy cow.

QUINN: Don't say cow.

CLAY: I want to go to Puerto Rico. I mean it. Forget about training camp. Puerto Rico is absolutely the only place I can possibly be this weekend.

QUINN: You're sweet, and I love you. Maybe on our date after Jamie's game, I can wear this in the hot tub. Or...Not wear it. Hurry home. Hurry home.

BASEBALL FIELD

Clay finds his mind.

CLAY: No extra innings! Three up, three down. Three up, three down. Four up, three down. Stay in front of those, Madison!

FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE

Nathan talks to Haley about August.

NATHAN: I saw him as Dan. I thought Ian Kellerman was like me and his father was like Dan. I guess I'm still not past it.

HALEY: Your father.

NATHAN: Yeah. I'll never be able to understand or accept what he did, so I guess I just...avoid it. Because if I don't avoid it, what's left is so dark. It's like... It's like Lydia growing up and someday standing a few feet from Jamie and taking his life. And that's impossible and horrible...

HALEY: Mm.

NATHAN: And that's exactly what my father did. And then I feel guilty... For keeping Jamie from seeing his grandfather and for making it to the NBA and knowing that I never could have done it without my father. And for letting him live alone and die alone because that's what I have to do.

HALEY: Maybe you should just go to that diner and tell Dan everything that you're thinking and feeling all of it.

NATHAN: You think he deserves that?

HALEY: No. But I think you deserve it.

FLASHBACK, CLINN'S HOUSE

Quinn practices sport. Clay sees her.

CLAY: Hey, didn't you already work out today?

QUINN: Yep. I'm doing two-a-days.

CLAY: Oh. You're worried about being around all those models.

QUINN: Mm, actually, that's not it. I'm worried about security at the airport.

CLAY: What?

QUINN: You know those TSA machines show you naked? I got to look good for that.

AERODROME

Chase still wait.

FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC

Chase's cellphone rings.

CHASE(at phone): Hello?

WOMAN(at phone): Hi, Mr. Adams. I'm calling from the clinic. We need you to come back in and retest as soon as you can.

CHASE(at phone): Why? Is there, uh, a problem?

WOMAN(at phone): Yes. Actually, it looks like the lab had a mix-up with your urine sample.

CHASE(at phone): Okay. Are you sure?

WOMAN(at phone): Well, unless you're pregnant, we're pretty sure.

AERODROME

Alex joins Chase.

ALEX: Hey. What's wrong? You okay?

CHASE: We need to talk.

BASEBALL FIELD

It's to Madison to hit the ball.

UMPIRE: Ball four. Take your base.

QUINN: Yay, Madison! Let's go, Sharks!

NATHAN: Dude, what happened to Quinn?

CLAY: Uh, she had a few last-minute things to take car of. I think she wanted to get a spray tan. She'll be here. Nice one, Madison!

QUINN: Way to go!

FLASHBACK, BEAUTY ROOM

QUINN: I'd like the panther, please.

WOMAN: Actually, the panther is our darkest shade. I really wouldn't recommend that for you.

QUINN: Oh, that's okay. I'll be fine. Just one panther, please.

WOMAN: Okay.

BASEBALL FIELD

CLAY: She'll be here. But you know who won't be here? Ian.

FLASHBACK, CLINN'S HOUSE

Nathan and Clay must to find a solution to punish Ian.

CLAY: We got to talk to Ian.

NATHAN: I know. I'll do it.

CLAY: It'd probably be better if I talk to him.

NATHAN: Why?

CLAY: 'Cause you're bad cop and I'm good cop.

NATHAN: Why am I bad cop?

CLAY: Real it, okay. Might be the, uh, the bar fights, the shouting matches in public, the murderous father.

NATHAN: Weak. Maybe Julian should talk to him.

CLAY: Why not me?

NATHAN: Because you're not good cop. You're more like officer friendly. Julian nearly lost Brooke. He should talk to him, if he wants to.

FLASHBACK, CLAY'S CAR

Julian, Nathan and Clay are with Ian.

IAN: Where we going, anyway?

CLAY: Just taking a little drive.

JAMIE(Voice-over): They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain.

BASEBALL FIELD

It's to Jamie to hit the ball.

JAMIE(Voice-over): And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again.

UMPIRE: Strike three. You're out.

Nathan, Clay and Julian give the last rules.

NATHAN: All right, this is it. We need one run to tie, two to win. I say we win it right here. No extra innings.

CLAY: No extra innings. Definitely no extra innings.

JULIAN: Now, you all know I'm moving to New York and this is gonna be my only game.

UMPIRE: I need a batter, coach!

JULIAN: So I just wanted to express...

NATHAN: All right, that's it. Top of the order. Chuck, Madison, Jamie. Let's go.

CLAY: All right, Sharks, we got this. Come on! Whoo! Come on, Chuck. Look alive, buddy!

Chase and Alex are coming. Chuck joins them.

CHASE: There he is, Chuck Skolnick!

ALEX: These are for good luck. Yeah, nice. Nice. You got this, buddy.

CHASE: Let's go, Skolnick! Free root beer for a hit!

ALEX: Yeah! Whoo! Come on, Chuck!

CHASE: Let's go, Skolnick! Whoo! Come on, Chuck! Let's go, Skolnick!

Chuck touches the ball.

CHASE: Whoo!

CHUCK: Yes!

Clay: Nice, Chuck! All right! Ha ha! We're having fun now! But we're having it fast. Madison, you're up. Come on, Madison. Boop, boop. Fast fun, fast fun. Let's go, Sharks!

Quinn joins Clay.

QUINN: Hi, handsome.

CLAY: Ohh!

QUINN: I'm so tan, right? Do you love it? Mm-hmm. Don't forget about our date later.

CLAY: Mnh-mnh. Madison. Madison, take your time, okay? You wait for your right pitch, and you tie this thing up for us. I'm talking extra innings. Free baseball, Sharks! We like that.

Meanwhile, Ian passes test in front of scouts.

FLASHBACK, GABEL BRIDGE

Guys go to the place of this accident.

NATHAN: So, how's your dad doing, Ian? I mean, now that he's resigned.

IAN: I don't know. However, I guess. He mostly spends time on that stupid boat.

JULIAN: You know what's good about boats? They float. Cars, not so much.

IAN: Where are we going, again?

CLAY: Right here. We're going right here.

NALEY'S HOUSE

Haley sees the panel and finds an idea.

FLASHBACK, GABEL BRIDGE

JULIAN: I'll never forget this place. I was standing right about here when I saw Brooke. And she looked so relieved, like maybe... For a moment, everything was gonna be okay. I was proud of her, you know? For staying to help Jamie. I mean, he's just a kid. Just a scared kid who wanted to believe that everything would be okay, and that adults would make it okay and be heroic and strong and everything they're supposed to be for a boy like that. And then the Wagoneer came from right there. They're lucky to be alive!

IAN: Yeah, man, I'm so sorry. You know, my dad, he...

NATHAN: He hasn't had a drink since your mom d*ed.

IAN: That's not true.

NATHAN: He was also coming from Raleigh that night. And he wouldn't have been coming from that direction.

IAN: So maybe he got turned around in the storm. I don't know.

NATHAN: Maybe it was you, Ian. It was, wasn't it?

IAN: Come on, guys. He told you he did it. He resigned.

JULIAN: And you let him! You got drunk, nearly k*lled my wife

and Nathan's son, and then just drove away and let your father take the blame! Look at me! You probably didn't even say "thank you."

IAN: You know what? You guys are my agents. You're should be thrilled that we dodged a b*llet, that everyone's okay, everything's been dealt with.

NATHAN: Thrilled... That you drove drunk, left our families to die, and your family to pay for it? What the hell is wrong with you?

IAN: Guys, I got scouts coming to see me. I am this close to being someone. I couldn't stay here. I couldn't. I didn't have a choice.

JULIAN: Oh, you had a choice.

IAN: Whatever. This is ridiculous.

(Clay pushes Ian in water)

NATHAN: Clay! Clay!

IAN: Are you out of your mind?!

CLAY: You had no choice?! You chose to be a coward!

IAN: You know what? You guys are fired! I might even sue you for this! Get off me!

JULIAN: Come here!

IAN: Get off!

JULIAN: You like that?! How does that feel?!

IAN: Stop! Stop!

JULIAN: Don't you wish there was somebody here to help you now?!

IAN: Go on!

JULIAN: Go throw your ball and be whoever it is you think you're gonna be!

NATHAN: My son said to give that to you.

IAN: I couldn't stay! I just couldn't!

JULIAN: Well, now maybe you can stay and think about it. Enjoy the walk.

BASEBALL FIELD

It's to Madison to hit the ball.

JULIAN: All right, Madison, come on! No outs!

CHUCK: We only need one, Madison! Don't mess it up!

QUINN: Yeah! Go, go, go, go, Madison!

NATHAN: You're safe here. Stop, stop.

Alex and Chase join Quinn.

QUINN: All right! Come on, Jamie, you can do this!

ALEX: Quinn? Is that a spray tan?

QUINN: Yeah. It's the panther.

CLAY: Nice and slow. Take your time.

FLASHFORWARD, JACUZZI

Quinn and Clay are dating.

QUINN: Hey. Let date night begin. Here I come.

CLAY: Babe?

QUINN: Now, then... Oh, no!

CLAY: I think if we dunked you, we could make tea.

QUINN: Oh, my God! No! No, no, no!

CLAY: Well, maybe some of it'll stick to me. I could use the color. Can I interest you in a hot shower?

QUINN: Yes.

BASEBALL FIELD

It's to Jamie to hit the ball.

NATHAN: All right. Come on, Jamie, you got this. Let's get a hit.

FLASHBACK, AUGUST'S BOAT

Nathan and August talk together.

NATHAN: Thanks. So...I owe you an apology. I was so sure you were like my dad, I couldn't see you any other way.

AUGUST: Well... Then that makes us even. I was so sure you were like my son that I couldn't see you as the "A" student you turned out to be.

NATHAN: "A" student? Really?

AUGUST: "A" minus. I understand you're no longer representing my son.

NATHAN: That's right.

AUGUST: Admit it – when I asked you not to, you thought it was because I felt you weren't good enough for him. But maybe I thought he wasn't good enough for you and that agency you have with your partner, the Muppet.

NATHAN: Clay Evans. Fortitude.

AUGUST: Integrity as a mission statement. Not bad. I promised my wife, Catherine, I'd do this someday sail off to nowhere. No lectures, no papers, no clocks. Actually, I promised her we'd do it together. Time gets away from you.

NATHAN: You know, I don't speak with my father. Sometimes I feel guilty about that, but I know in my heart that's the way it has to be. So, one of these nights, when you find your corner of heaven or your sliver of peace and you're feeling guilty about the distance between you and your son... I don't know. Maybe it just...helps to know that you're not the only one going through something like that.

AUGUST: Well, there's no time like now to start the rest of your life.

NATHAN: Thanks for the beer, profes... um, Mr. Kellerman.

AUGUST: Call me August.

NATHAN: Where's Dogust, by the way?

AUGUST: He's here. Dogust! Hey! Look who's here to see you! Yes. Look at this. Every Captain needs a first mate.

NATHAN: There he is. Hey, pal. Good to see you again. All right.

AUGUST: Take care. All the best. Come on. Let's go sailing. Come on, Dogust. Come on, my boy. Mr. Scott. They still developing those condos at that basketball court of yours?

NATHAN: The Rivercourt. Yeah.

AUGUST: Two words, Snipey Plover. It's a bird. Okay, Catherine, here we go. You too, Dogust. You too. Yeah.

BASEBALL FIELD

Ian practices. Meanwhile, It's to Jamie to hit the ball.

UMPIRE: Strike one.

NATHAN: Time! Time! How you doing?

JAMIE: Okay, I guess.

NATHAN: Yeah? Feeling nervous? Yeah, I always felt nervous at the free-throw line. But listen, there's something I forgot to tell you about today that I should have. It's just a game, okay? Grandpa Dan always used to make me feel like it was life or death, but it's not. Now, you got a couple good strikes coming, so just give it your best sh*t. You're a good hitter. You can do this. No matter what, we're both getting ice cream, so either way we're good. All right?

UMPIRE: Okay, coach, let's go.

NATHAN: All right. Go get 'em, Jamie Scott.

JAMIE: Okay.

FLASHBACK, CAFETARIA

Nathan wants to see his father but he backs off.

FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE

Nathan explains to Haley what it's happened.

NATHAN: I couldn't do it. I drove to see Dan, but I couldn't go in.

HALEY: Maybe one day.

BASEBALL FIELD

Jamie tries to hit the ball, he thinks.

JAMIE(Voice-over): The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate. He pounds with cruel v*olence... His bat upon the plate. He signalled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew. But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said...

UMPIRE: Strike two!

JULIAN: Come on, Jamie, come on.

MADISON: Come on, Jamie! You can do it! I know you can.

FLASHBACK, AERODROME

Chase announces to Alex what he knowns.

CHASE: All my life, I've wanted to fly. And lately, I've been feeling... A sense of obligation.

ALEX: That's why you've been spending time with Chuck, right?

CHASE: That's right. But...It's more than that. I needed to take that drug test to join the Air Force.

ALEX: What? Oh, my gosh. And did you join the Air Force?

CHASE: Not yet. There's still a chance I could, but... I'd rather stay here with you because...You're pregnant, Alex. We're pregnant. Hey, it's okay. It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna be right here.

ALEX: No, no, no, no, it's not... But you would stay with me?

CHASE: Of course. What do you mean it's...it's not okay?

ALEX: Now I have something to tell you.

FLASHFORWARD, BASEBALL FIELD

Brooke joins Julian on the field.

BROOKE: Hey, handsome.

JULIAN: Hi.

BROOKE: I turned down the job.

JULIAN: In New York? Why?

BROOKE: When I was living there and running Clothes Over Bros, my office looked out on this building nearby, and on the rooftop was a playground where all the grade-school kids would have recess. And some days when things were crazy which was most days I'd look out, and I'd watch those kids run around, and I'd think, "that's no way to play." I mean, I love New York, but living in constant fear of losing the kickball over the roof of your playground is kind of a rough way to grow up.

JULIAN: So you turned down the job because the schools have playgrounds on the roof?

BROOKE: I turned down the job because I don't want our child to have a playground on the roof. Unless it's the roof of my store here in Tree Hill.

JULIAN: Tree Hill... Okay, you're losing me.

BROOKE: Chase had to take a drug test, but a guy in Kid Cudi's posse made him take a hit of a joint, so he asked Alex to pee in a cup for him because she's sober. Except Alex isn't really sober because she accidentally ate some of Quinn's pot brownies, so Alex came over to ask you, because her and Chase are getting closer, and she wanted to be the one to help him, but you weren't home, so Alex asked me. And the lab called Chase and said that he's pregnant.

JULIAN: What?

BROOKE: So Chase told Alex, and Alex told me, and I took a pregnancy test. We're pregnant.

JULIAN: Baby! I knew you could do it.

JAMIE(Voice-over): Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright.

BASEBALL FIELD

Jamie is ready to hit the ball.

JAMIE(Voice-over): The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.

NATHAN: All right, come on, Jamie! You can do it, son!

JAMIE(Voice-over): And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout. That somewhere is right here. Because Casey might have struck out, but Casey's last name wasn't "Scott”.

PEOPLE: Jamie! Jamie!
