[edit] Plot synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Lucas plays a brilliant match and his popularity definitely increases. Nathan isn’t exactly thrilled about this, and after Dan’s uplifting words, seems pretty sure it’s time to bully: through an incisive pep talk, Nathan does convince the whole team. Meanwhile, Peyton treats badly Lucas because he did submit her drawings without her permission. Meanwhile, someone doesn’t look that mad at Lucas: a popular cheerleader - and Peyton’s best friend, as well - named Brooke, happens to be half naked in Lucas’ car. He turns her down but she clearly doesn’t want to give up. Lucas’ sporty success effects his mother too. Actually some Karen’s old schoolmates (or better cheerleaders) invite her to join the Raven’s booster.

Nathan and the team start hazing Lucas but since the kid seems to hold up, Nathan comes up with a back up plan: getting Haley to tutor him in order to upset Lucas even more. Of course, Haley makes clear she’s not going to be his tutor. Never. Meanwhile, Karen joins the booster meeting but her old schoolmates do not act in such a nice way: in their opinion Lucas doesn’t deserve to be the shooting guard. They start arguing and Karen eventually storms off. Lucas stops by the playground where he used to play basketball before joining the team. It turns out Nathan and the others have already been there: the playground is totally trashed. While Lucas is trying to clean it up, Peyton comes over. She went to see the editor but he wanted to turn her drawings in something completely different. Lucas remarks the editor is wrong. And... surprise... later, it turns out Peyton follows Lucas’ advice and pays a visit to the editor. “This is how I am. And 95% of the time there isn’t a moral, or a victory, or a silver lining. Take it or leave it but if you leave it then you’ll miss that other 5%. Your mistake.” Elsewhere, Haley gives in: she’ll be Nathan’s tutor. Only if Nathan will leave Lucas alone.

It’s Burning Boat Night in Tree Hill. Time of decisions. While bad karma is burning on the boat, Karen apologized with her old schoolmates and lets them know she’ll do her best to give them the benefit of doubt, because she does want to move on. Indeed, she looks pretty happy seeing her old cheerleader sweater burning. In the meantime, Lucas, also, lets Nathan know he had better to accept that Lucas is part of the team, now, and that he’s not going anywhere else. Good news: at Peyton’s, the editor leaves a message on the answering machine. Yep, he did accept her drawings. Anyway, the night is almost done and Lucas catches up with Haley. She tells him she has been tutoring for the whole morning, but when Lucas asks her if it’s anyone he knows; she hesitates a bit but her answer is negative.
