Loved all the Nathan scenes. James is awesome and I am soo glad he is there, I don't think I could stand OTH without him

Haley's storyline at the crisis center is boring and I honestly didn't dig her costume Why couldn't the writers choose something fresh for her. I have actually started ff her scenes when she isn't with Nathan or Brooke And that is sad for me, because I used to enjoy her character so much.

Nathan, Julian and Brooke are the best things in this show at the moment I just love their characters sooo much. The high-five between Nathan and Julian was sooo freaking cute, they are awesome together in scenes!!

Loved Nathan taking Jamie, Madison and Chuck trick or treating, but I honestly don't like that kid Chuck, I wish they would bring back Andre

Also the opening was funny as hell and I was so glad to get a rest from Haley's voiceover letters to Luke. I actually quite like them, but they were starting to get redundant, so I was glad they gave that a break. Brooke and Julian's part in the opening was the funniest So effing funny!! I also loved Quinn and Haley at the beginning

The NH scene at the end was love, but I really wish the writers would pay more attention to the couple that basically holds this show together!!

James/Nathan is always amazing

And dayum did he look smokin effin hot and so effin sexy in his costume

The opening zombie scene had me cracking up laughing

As much as I hate that they took bball away from him I'm curious to see how this sports agent storyline plays out. He can totally relate to the clients and vice versa which is a great advantage. If done right, it could be a great thing for Nathan. Ultimately, I want to see him coaching bball too though <3

I was expecting more NH scenes too so I was rather disappointed with the lack of them but their scene at the end was truly amazing It kind of made up for the lack of NH scenes for me.

Nathan taking the kids trick or treating was just too cute. I loved seeing him role his eyes at Chuck when he was bragging about how he had more candy than Jamie and then seeing the proud look on his face when Jamie didn't let Chuck get to him.

I loved the Nate/Clay scenes. About freakin time that Nate was the one being praised instead of doing all the praising. I'm loving how much Nate/Clay are interacting and getting closer as friends. They have a genuine friendship, BFFs.

The Nate/Julian high five scene PWNS....it's priceless!! I really hope we continue seeing them interacting and they keep up the banter between them. It's the best <3

At that animation

I really liked this episode.. I felt like they incorporated Halloween and fun into it, without making it just a filler episode.

I loved that Nathan got scenes with Jamie, Haley, Julian/Chase, and Clay.

His outfit looked KILLER! He is so adorable.

I loved the comparison between Clay and Nathan's weights too. . too cute.

The last NH scene on the couch with the basketball tape broke my heart. I just can't let bball go

That scene at the end when he was watching the game broke my heart too It's going to take time for him to let go of the game that he's loved playing all his life.

I totally love the last NH scene and Nathan/Julian scene since it was so hilarious that I was laughing so hard..

Beside, he looked so creepy as zombie and I love how he realized that he was worrying about not knowing what he will go to do since he is okay w/o basketball, but wondering.. At least he have his wife and his son included the baby on the way...

Also, I wish that we can see some scene of NH at the party, but oh well...

The episode wasn't bad, but only 2 NH scenes? Seriously. We've been getting 2 or 3 scenes max. in the episodes, and I do not approve.

Nathan looked hot in his costume, and Haley looked super pretty as a cheerleader, plus that cute ponytail but I didn't like the outfit much, or maybe it's the fake baby bump..

The last Nathan/Haley scene is <3 I love how Haley was rubbing his feet against Nate. I bet it's unscripted.

Haley's reaction to the clowns is the cutest thing ever. Poor thing witnessed them more than once in the episode.

I know this sounds crazy, but I actually loved this episode. The other episodes I've seen I thought were just okay or awful, but this episode was awesome. It was probably one of the better episodes this season.

I loved Nathan's interactions with everyone in this episode; I also loved his halloween costume, though I wasn't able to recognize who he was. I'm also curious to see how his storyline as an agent will play, I hope this storyline is well done.
