TV Review: One Tree Hill - "Things I Forgot At Birth"

One Tree Hill began with one of Nathan’s flashbacks of what happened in the river. Cooper is still in the hospital, unconscious. And while Haley knows she saw Rachel grab the steering wheel from Cooper, Nathan wants to know if she saw anyone else underwater. He is trying to figure out who the mysterious person was who saved the three of them in the limo that afternoon. Thankfully, Nathan gets a call that Cooper is awake. Cooper tells the detective the wreck was his fault and Rachel tells Cooper she was never pregnant.

Unable to tell anyone else, Nathan tells Cooper the truth about what happened in the river. He admits to not being the hero and Cooper tells him all that matters is they are still alive. Rachel considers Nathan her hero, too, and vows to repay him for saving her life. Nathan then tells Lucas what happened, asking him if he is the one who saved everyone. Lucas tells Nathan he was the only one who could have saved Cooper and Rachel. But Nathan is convinced he saw Keith in the car. I hope Keith has an active role in the series because I always enjoyed his character. I’m just not sure how they can incorporate his ghost in the show without it being too cheesy.

Peyton and Lucas discussed Brooke dumping him. As she was about to admit what she told Brooke, the power in Peyton’s house went out. When he assured Peyton he was going to get Brooke back, Lucas told her ,“you can’t help who you love.” Trying to figure out who he loves, Peyton asks him who will be next to him when all his dreams come true. After answering it would be Brooke, she tells Lucas she knows how he can get Brooke back. Unfortunately, Peyton’s plan didn’t work out. Instead, it looks as though it will end up backfiring. Leave it to One Tree Hill to make things a little more complicated.

    Maybe Lucas could actually get Brooke back.. AND Peyton could become friend with her again if they stop getting cozy everywhere and Lucas stops putting his arm around Peyton every time they're together!!
    Bleh.

    Also... how in the world would Peyton's brother have even found her podcast?

    Last episode was not the greatest.
    And it appears they're making the show go in a silly direction... Rachel after Nathan, after she was sorry she wrecked their wedding? Hmmm... is a girl really that bad??
    Brooke really living with a girl she couldn't stand?

    Skillz is the only one that makes a little sense lately. Lucas, listen to Skillz!

    HAHA, yeah, I like Skillz. I was glad when he became a more active character on One Tree Hill.

    nathan and haley are the best couple ever, rachael should leave nathan alone. Lucas should choose who he wants to go out with not what everyone is saying to him. He should fallow his heart. Rachael should find her own man not take someone with is dating/MARRIED.

    I have to say, I just started watching "OTH" last year while I was home after having surgery. But now I'm hooked & thanks to TiVo, I'm getting caught up. I recently saw a rerun with the character named "Cooper". Can someone PLEASE tell me what his real name is... or what else I've seen him on. I know I've seen him, but can't remember on what show.

    Thanks
