Season 2 Description
From The WB
When season one ended, Tree Hill was in turmoil. Lucas left town with his Uncle Keith to start a new life. Nathan and Haley solidified their relationship by getting married. Peyton and Brooke found their way back to being best friends after a series of bitter betrayals. Prior to signing his divorce papers from Deb, Dan suffered a massive heart attack.
Season two begins the day after the previous season ended. School is still in session, but the basketball season is over, so the boys find themselves drawn more and more to the river court. Nathan is increasingly brought into the world Lucas knew before he joined the high school team. For the first time, the two boys are acting like brothers, not enemies.
The girls of Tree Hill begin to explore their own interests beyond boys and romantic entanglements. Peyton's love for music and art leads her to a hip and challenging club venture, which may turn into more than she can handle. Brooke, ever the provocateur, finds that she has some new competition at Tree Hill High - competition she might just take lying down. Just when Haley thinks she's found everything she ever wanted with Nathan, a door involving her musical ability is opened, one that will challenge all she thought she knew about herself.
The web grows all the more tangled as new characters come to town and unexpected relationships for both teens and adults emerge. With her son growing more independent, Karen explores the professional and personal opportunities that were denied to her as a teenage mother. Keith comes out of the shadow of his older brother to find unexpected success. Deb struggles to define herself without Dan, while Dan's legacy continues to resonate in the lives of his two sons.
Years in the making, a deep and bitter conflict slowly unfolded as the two boys struggled to come to terms with a father who chose to live vicariously through one son, while ignoring the existence of the other. Now Nathan and Lucas have formed an unusual bond based on a mutual resentment of their father.

Spoilers credited to kraZ4OTH:
-The episode seems to end on a positive note for the two of them(NH).
I'm not sure on whether there's any type of triangle with Chris, Haley and Nathan. The scene at the recording studios was just the two of them, so I don't know what causes her to run late. I don't think Haley cheats at all...I'm thinking she just gets so wrapped up in the recording that she doesn't realize the time. I'm guessing that's what has Nathan concerned though- that she was late getting back from the studios.
-She(Haley) actually finds the letter at the end of the episode. I don't think their fight is too too bad. I know they end up at their apartment together, and she makes him breakfast in bed the next morning.
And I don't think she's hiding the recording studio with Chris thing from Nathan. She tells him about it early in the episode, before she goes to the studios.
-I don't know too much about the Chris guy, aside from him being a jerk. It doesn't seem like he's in too much of 209.
-Actually its Nathan that asks Deb to dance. I think he does it so that Tim can steal the key. I know Nathan and Haley are at the dance together, and get crowned, so I'm assuming they would have a king/queen dance?
-Felix tells Anna he really does like Brooke
-Nathan gets tested, but Lucas opts out.
-Nathan gets his results and finds out he's fine. (This scene was X'd out on the side. Not sure if they're keeping that same storyline and just not filming that scene?)
-Karen and Andy hook up.
-Peyton gets Haley and Chris to play at Tric.
-Peyton buys Brooke her dress for the formal.
-Brooke and Mouth dance.
-At the formal, Felix tells Mouth he has feelings for Brooke.
-Dan, Deb, and Karen go to the formal too. (chaperones?)
-The guys drink in the boys room at the formal.
-Nathan has an after-party at the beach house.
-Nathan dances with Deb while Tim steals the key.
-Haley thinks Nathan is threatened and they argue at the afterparty.
-There's a scene with Anna and Lucas in the bedroom of the beach house, but I don't think anything happens.
-Peyton leaves early after getting a drink spilled on her.
-Peyton cleans her dress, and cuts and flushes her coke.
-Anna stops by Peyton's and crashes there.
-Haley finds Nathan's letter. (maybe the acceptance letter to the High Flyers?)
-I haven't heard/seen anything on a L/P sex scene.
-Haley does make it to the formal. Haley and Nathan are crowned king and queen.
-It looks like they will get crowned together.
-I don't think there is any L/P sex scene. I know Lucas drops Brooke off at her house, and it seems to be the morning after the formal, but I didn't even see anything where there's an L/B sex scene.
-And I don't think there's any "third party" stuff goin on with Nathan and Haley. I'm pretty sure they are at the dance together, and end up together the following morning. So I doubt there's anything to worry about!

The first scene after the opening credits has Karen taking the sheets and cover off of a bed and exposing Lucas. Lucas is in his boxers. Karen leaves the room. Later Lucas goes to Keith's and asks if he can talk with him.
Nathan comes home from work and Haley comes home at about the same time. They meet outside their door. They both hear Taylor's funky music blaring from within. They agree to leave the apartment and get away from Taylor's music.
Brooke interviews at The Crab Shack. She is dressed formally. Carl is interviewing her. He notices that her resume is pretty sparse, but Brooke tells him that she really needs the job. Her car insurance is due soon. He hires her, not as a waitress, but for something in public relations. She meets Marla, another employee who is a "crab". I think that Brooke is dressed like one too. Marla complains about how she has been treated at the job. Brooke is shocked at some of the working conditions. She is even more shocked at her small pay for the day - $15 for 6 hours. Later, Brooke organizes a group to protest the working conditions/pay. It ends up that Carl agrees to the raise and some breaks in the day for the workers.
At some point in the episode, Felix takes a picture of Brooke with his phone. At the end, a jubilant Brooke comes home and leaps into Felix's arms. She tells him that the protest worked.
