OTH: "This is a song for anyone with a broken heart"

This episode picked up where last week's episode ended, namely with Alex bleeding in the bath tub. Below is a recap of what happened on an episode that was filled with more low points and sadness than happiness.

- Julian finds Alex and pulls her out of the bathtub. He then rushes her to the hospital. He sits by her bed and she does wake up. She is very weak at first, but she is told she will be fine. Once she's awake, Julian doesn't sugar coat his feelings; He tells her is mad at her and that if she ever pulls a stunt like that again he is walking away. He also gives her some good news, though. They received funding for the movie, so these two are going to be spending much more time together in the future.
- Brooke, after some soul searching, realizes that Julian always falls for girls who need saving. Julian tries to disprove her and tells her he really does want to be with her, but also announces his plan to make the movie with Alex. Julian also goes into detail about his relationship with his mother, which furthers his desire to fix Alex, something I don't think Brooke is going to be able to accept. This may be unrelated, but before the end of the episode we meet the new guy who Victoria hired to design the men's clothing line for Clothes Over Bros. Who knows, maybe he will be a new love interest for Brooke.
- Skills is offered the position in LA. It is obvious he will miss Tree Hill and everyone there, especially Lauren, who is also very sad to see him go. At the end of the episode, we see Skills, as well as Mouth, leave for LA.
- Millie comes clean with Mouth, telling him about stealing the dress as well as he new addiction to drugs. She also tells Brooke, who fires her and makes her go to rehab. She checks in, but before the end of the episode we see her climb out a window, thus escaping from rehab before she is fully rehabilitated.
- Dan is in the middle of the live taping of the show from the high school hallway where he killed Keith, when he starts talking unscripted. He gets sentimental and announces that this is his final show, which obviously pisses off Rachel. On air, Dan says he knows he has been profiting from his brother's murder and that he plans to give back. He also shuts off the clock, saying there is no forgiveness. As the episode comes to a close, we find out that Dan is now broke after giving all of his money to charity. He also filed for a divorce from Rachel, who, because Dan has no more money, will receive no settlement. Nathan also gives Jamie a chance to say goodbye to Dan before Dan boards a bus. Jamie announces he forgives Dan, which brings Dan's belief that there is no forgiveness full circle.
- Jamie, who already made this clear, does not want to move to Spain. With some help from Hailey and Nathan, though, he realizes they will all miss home but that the most important thing is that they are together and love one another.
- Clay is still in the process of moving, but then Quinn delivers some news from Clay's assistant that may help him get back into the business. So the entire episode we see Clay busy at work readying a deal, but it isn't until the end of the episode that we realize what he has done. A player on another team would like to be traded so he can be closer to home after finding out that his mom is sick. That trade opens up options and it leads to Nathan finding a place back on the Bobcats. So the family will not only not have to move to Spain, but they will get the opportunity to remain at home, surrounded by family.
- After Clay announces the deal that will keep Nathan a Bobcat, he also announces his plan to fall in love with Quinn. It was so romantic, I may have actually swooned. I am on their team and I want them to be happy together.

The next new One Tree Hill episode isn't until Jan. 18, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Until then.
