GENERAL DISCUSSION - SEASON 3

The third season focuses on the characters' first half of their senior year, and also has the return of basketball. It features the arrival of
Rachel Gatina, who brings conflict to the romance between Brooke and Lucas when she sets out to date Lucas. Peyton deals with the return
of her mom, and tries to get to know her when she finds out she is dying from cancer. Jake and Peyton's relationship draws to a close and
Peyton's romantic feelings for Lucas resurface later in the season. Chris Keller returns and helps Nathan and Haley reunite, also causing
damage between Brooke and Lucas. The later of the season sees Nathan and Haley plan their wedding. A major subplot consists of Dan's
efforts to solve the murder attempt that was made against him during the previous season's cliffhanger. A major episode ("With Tired
Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept") involves most of the main cast in a hostage situation at Tree Hill High and culminates in Peyton
getting shot in the leg, Jimmy Edwards committing suicide and Dan murdering Keith. At the end of the season finale after Nathan and Haley
renew their vows he, Rachel, and Cooper are fighting for their lives after a car accident.

Honorable Mention to: Everyday is Sunday Morning
That episode was so shocking because it was the first episode without Chad Michael Murray in. But it showed how Nathan could lead the show. ... however, it was shocking to not see Lucas in it.
Loved Jeyton.
And Uncle Coop... he totally should've resisted Rachel in the end....

I think I loved every episode this season though.
