One Tree Hill: Now with Added Crazy!
Now we've just got to see if Clay and Quinn remember to lock the door. Baby steps...
Ahem. Well, know we've got that (mostly) out of our system, on to the plot!
Crazy family drama
So yes, Taylor is nutso, and yes, David is there to get revenge on Quinn, and yes, Haley goes a bit berserk about it, and yes, Quinn plays the quintessential peacekeeping middle child. We still liked the storyline, although we sort of wonder why no one has had Taylor involuntarily committed. And why do they keep letting her in the house? And why, God, why would anyone think it's appropriate to make out at the dinner table? Gah!
There's more -- read on!
n the end, David admits that he's just striking back at Quinn, and apologizes for being a schmuck. Quinn admits that she lied about sleeping with Clay -- they haven't had sex at all yet -- and apologizes for hurting David. Taylor... well, Taylor is unrepentant, but she finally admits that she's a complete bee-yotch. That's progress, I guess? Plus, pool-based sibling catfight!
Crazy movie drama
Julian's dad is in town to get the movie going, and he's brought a lecherous British director to helm the pic. He's... well, he's an ass. An ass-grabbing ass. And after he told Alex that perhaps she should cut deeper next time she tries to kill herself, Julian knocks him out and fires him. So now they're out a director.
Fortunately, Brooke agrees to be the costume designer, and she's got a suggestion for director -- Julian himself. And miraculously, julian's dad goes for it. That's a lot of money riding on a first time director working with an unstable, recently suicidal star. At least they've got a free location... they're shooting in Lucas' house.
Crazy relationship drama
But before we get to that point, Brooke and Julian have to do the relationship angst thing. Brooke decides to send a box of Julian's stuff back to him, and Victoria says she'll take care of it. She does -- by sending Alexander as the delivery boy. Bitchtoria was just trying to make a point -- Julian's reaction (it's not good) proves he still cares for Brooke -- but what was in it for Alexander? Why would a designer agree to play messenger? We can only assume it's because he's a schmuck.
On the coming-down-from-crazy front, Mouth is there to support Millie, who's going back to work for Brooke, who initially blows her off but then welcomes her back. Mouth and Lauren do an impressive deep-clean on Millie's trashed apartment and lament lost love. Then Mouth decides he'll stick around for a while, since Skills is going to be busy in jail at work.
What did you think of all the crazy? Were you loving it, or wishing everyone would just take their lithium? Tell us in the comments!

I liked the episode. to me personally Haley was going totally over board with i don't want Taylor here thing and i actually agree with what quinn did for once with how she acted. acting upset is going to add to Taylor's fire and Haley should have known that she did live with her at one time. I can't wait for the podcast.

Taylor has always been one of my favorite characters and she was in top form this week. I loved it. Haley was ridiculous though. If I could punch someone through a television screen, I would have hit her. It's no surprise that she's the baby sister, she acted like a bratty child.
As much as I adore Brooke, the Julian thing is getting out of hand. She needs to move on and stop crawling back to him. It's pathetic and she's better than that.

Good episode.Many lolz and great one liners. Haley PWNED all! Joy is amazing.
FYI- Quinn is not the middle child. She's actually older then Taylor and Haley is the baby of the James clan.
They also have an older sister Vivian and a couple of brothers(2 or 3).
