[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Lucas is lying in a coma and everybody feels terrible about this. Karen is shattered, especially when she finds out Keith was drinking before he drove Lucas. Peyton would love to stay near Lucas but she is uneasy because of Brooke, so she rushes out the door. Brooke assumes Peyton is acting like that because the whole situation reminds her when her mother died. Anyway, Haley is having a tough time. She doesn’t want to see Lucas because they got into a fight before the car crash. Besides, the girl dumps Nathan as soon as she finds out he started to hang out with her in order to upset Lucas. Later, Karen meets Brooke for the first time and she doesn’t seem that impressed. It’s clear she prefers Peyton all the way. Meanwhile, Deb stops by the hospital and tells Karen she doesn’t have to worry about the cafe. It turns out Dan has news for Deb, too. He is not going to agree to a divorce.

The basketball team and other Lucas’ school mates does not want to leave Lucas alone, so they start drawing on the river court with chalk. All together for Lucas. Haley asks Peyton: “Why am I not surprised Nathan isn’t here”. Peyton doesn't answer anything, at the moment, but then she shows up at Nathan's. It's pep talk time. Meanwhile, Brooke asks Karen if it’s enough for her that she is crazy about her son; Karen assures her “that’s more than enough”. Touched by Peyton's words, Nathan goes and sees Lucas in the hospital. In that moment, Lucas wakes up: Karen is really happy, also because “now I can kill you for that tattoo”. Nathan catches up with Haley and, when he tells her he went to see Lucas since he knew she couldn’t, they make it up. Even though Karen told Keith to stay away from her and Lucas, he pays Lucas’ hospital bill because he does know Karen can’t afford it.

“I shall believe” – by Sheryl Crow - is playing in the background. Peyton is drawing a large heart with the “3” in it on the river court; Karen stops by Dan's dealership a thanks Dan, since she found out he did save Lucas’ life. Someone else decides it’s time to come in Lucas’ hospital bedroom. Haley. Lucas’ first comment is “Hey buddy, I missed you”. Haley can’t help but nod and cry in his arms.
