Clips of the students' time capsule from Junior year are leaked and played on TVs all over school. This results in embarrassment for many of the Tree Hill gang, but also a reconnection in old friends. One student, Jimmy Edwards, sounds very angry, hurt and disturbed. During the charity night (for breast cancer research) to launch the CD, Peyton flirts with Fall Out Boy songwriter Pete Wentz at Tric. Keith asks to adopt Lucas. The concert features performances by Haley, Fall Out Boy, and Jack's Mannequin. The show references Jack's Mannequin singer, Andrew McMahon, and his real life battle with leukemia. This episode is named after a song by Jimmy Eat World.
