I actually was surprised bc I did like the episode even though I thought I wouldn´t at all.

First of all there was way too little Brooke scenes

He should give her more

I liked the BP scenes because Peyton stood up to Victoria for Brooke´s sake and that´s what I have been waiting to happen almost all season.Brooke has been there for her over and over again and Peyton has just sort of proved that she doesn´t care anymore.It´s time to come clean and voice her oppinion towards Victoria no matter the consequences.
When Victoria says to Peyton that it looks like she didn´t have any mothers - it was really mean whether or not you are a fan of Peytons,there are just some lines you shouldn´t cross and Victoria just crossed that line even though it wasn´t necessary at all but then again I absolutely loved Peyton´s comeback.You could tell she hit a nerve with Victoria by saying that and I did think some things would change and that Victoria would be more of a mother to Brooke than her business partner but I guess not.

The last B/V scene was heartbreaking.When I just watched it I was so happy that Brooke got the answer she wanted and then I realised it was a dream and felt bad for her but when I saw that Brooke actually went to follow up on her dream and express her feelings and her mother still rejecting her and making Brooke think that she means nothing to her - that was heartbreaking

You could see at the end that Brooke has finally given up on trying to make a mother/daughter relationship work with Victoria.She has finally come to terms with that she has no reason to call her mom anymore but Victoria is all she is to her.

The Brooke/Milecent scenes are cute.It´s nice to see that they have a bit of a friendship that isn´t only based on the whole them working together and one being the boss while the other is an employee.

The LL scenes were amazingly cute,I have to admit.Lindsay is so beautiful and Lucas´ dream sort of showed me that when he takes out the ring and smiles and she then walks in and he asks her - that it has nothing to do with Peyton but that he actually wants to marry Lindsay,impo of course.Peyton laying on the bed and saying no was sort of a little bit funny but also showed the fear Lucas has inside of him,that some other person might reject him too and bring him the same pain he felt when Peyton said no.

The last LP scene was very good as well.I am shocked even to think that but I liked it very much.Not bc of the characters like that but bc of the dialogue.I think the scene was perfectly written and it showed the characters as the more mature and grown up ppl they have become over their years.The scene was very intense and it was definitely something OTH hasn´t done before and Chad did an amazing job.The angry,the disappointed,the sad expressions - he hit them all really and so did Hilarie for most parts

The NHJ stuff was adorable.I was glad to see that Jaime was more in this episode and that he was being a normal 4 year old kid that doesn´t get where his grandpa is.I also liked the way NH dealed with the situation.They definitely seemed more mature than just a couple of 21-olds.

Carrie is completely insane

Mouth and his boss storyline --- we really could deal with less of that.I would rather watch him and Milicent than him and his boss.

All in all it was a pretty good episode
