Jimmy Edwards, a bullied student at Tree Hill High, who used to be friends with Lucas and Skills, is depressed after the leaking of the time capsule. He goes to school with a gun and, after yet more abuse, fires at a doorway, shattering glass and hitting Peyton in the leg. The school is put in lockdown while Jimmy takes Haley and other students hostage in the tutor centre. Outside, Brooke is desperate because she has lost Peyton and tells Lucas. He and Nathan rush into the school to save Peyton and Haley respectively. Lucas finds Peyton wounded in the library and stays with her. Believing she will not survive because of the blood loss, she says she loves him and kisses him. Then she passes out and Lucas carries her out. Jimmy threatens them. Keith enters the building and assists Lucas and Peyton in escaping by trying to calm Jimmy, who shoots himself. Dan arrives, picks up Jimmy's gun and shoots Keith, killing him. This episode is named after a song by Explosions in the Sky.
