14. Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers

Complete story — includes the ending

Haley confronts Brooke over the stolen calculus test and Brooke lies. Lucas and Peyton consider having sex for the first time, but want it to be special. Victoria's Secret wants to take on Brooke's designs but there is a morals clause and her cheating would count, so Rachel tells her to keep quiet and she will take the blame. Deb is back in rehab and admits she's scared of coming out and being alone. Principal Turner fires Haley because it was her key that was stolen. Nathan and Haley decide to move into Debs' house to save money. Nathan throws a party at his house to use all the booze before Deb gets home. Dan asks Karen to chaperone the prom with him. At the party, Shelly and Mouth have sex, but she runs off after and breaks up with him. Haley slaps Rachel for getting her fired, who runs off in tears. She later tells Brooke that the principal knows it was her. Peyton tells Lucas that, unlike the first time when she made the mistake of walking away from that room one year before, now she wants what he wanted; everything with him. Rachel is at home and puts the picture of the cheerleaders in a box labeled "Tree Hill High" and places it next to boxes of all the different schools she has been to. A basketball tape of Nathan's scores is played, but it was actually recorded over a sex tape from two years ago, of Nathan and Brooke, leaving everyone shocked. This episode is named after an album by The National.
