One Tree Hill: Ho-bags and Trust Issues
Nathan vs. the world
Poor Nathan just keeps taking hits. His endorsements get pulled, his team is taking way to long to figure out if they want to re-sign him, and his dad has decided to ally with his ho-bag nemesis and give her a platform to tell her story. (then Rachel goes out of her way to make sure Renee agrees to do the show. Eeeevil....) Haley decides she'll just pay Renee to make her go away, but Nathan makes a stirring speech about how if she does that, then a part of her believes he did it, and that makes him no better than Dan Scott. Ouch! When he puts it that way, Haley's GOT to agree with him.
Brooke vs. Alex
Brooke is not a happy camper regarding Alex -- what's this manipulative ho-bag doing hanging around her man? It doesn't help that Alex seems completely oblivious to the fact that no, really, Julian is not interested, and that Julian neglected to mention the getting-naked thing. After one too many people compares Alex to high-school Brooke, Brooke makes the only sensible decision: Alex is out on her ass. Who wants to take bets that we've seen the last of her?
There's more -- read on!
Millie vs. Mouth/Millie vs. Good Sense
Mouth is still somewhat disapproving, much to Millie's chagrin. Even worse, Alex, who is theoretically her friend, keeps telling her she's a "plus size model." The HELL? Millie's TINY! Mouth eventually comes around and tells Millie she's awesome and gorgeous and so on, but the seed has already been planted, and Millie steals Alex's crazy diet pills and downs them surreptitiously. This can't be good.
Mouth vs. The Media
Mouth goes back to work, telling his boss that he'll read what's put in front of him on air. Hah! Mouth actually locks said boss inthe control room and delivers an impromptu, moderately self-righteous rant about how the media is full of bottom-feeders who report rumor as truth.
Clay vs. Crazy
Clay tells Quinn that (1) he can't hang out with her because Nathan disapproves, and (2) that something went horribly awry int he recent past, causing him to be working with a reduced client roster. Is Nathan his only real client? He also takes an attractive blond home and makes cryptic remarks, which makes us think she's a delusion. Is she an ex? Dead? Or are we reading too much into it?
What's your take on the ep? Talk about it in the comments!

OMG! You think that Sarah (Clay's blonde) is a delusion?! I never thought about that, but now I've got my arm hairs standing up! lol
That would be a serious and creepy (and I'm thinking very heartbreaking) twist...

i know that nate did not sleep with that girl because he loves haley and they have been through enough together.

This is the first time I've felt this was a good seventh season One Tree Hill episode. Love Dan. Love the ocean imagery and how it fits the episode title. Love Mouth's speech to Millie and Nathan's speech to Haley. You've given some things to think about with Clay though - I'm not sure if Nathan's his only client, and not sure if Sara is a ghost. How very Jerry McGuire (the first part, anyway). Anyone notice the absence of Jaime?

In regards to the mystery blonde that Clay was talking to, I think she is a delusion too. She seemed to have a glow around her making me think she is dead and he is hallucinating. She appeared out of nowhere. How would she know exactly where he was? We don't know much about his past.

ngaww i really thought that this week's episode would have renee on dan's show. i like the storyline, but this is seriously dragging.
i thought one tree hill was not supporting anorexia or stick sized people, its disappointing that millicent took alex's diet pills, she is gorgeous :)
i LOVEEE quinn and clay together, she is so pretty and he is so hot, but they're lives are too dramatic. they are made for eachother!
