PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL

JULIAN: This glove once belonged to Roberto Clemente. Thought Jamie might like it.

NATHAN: Are you sure about this, man?

JULIAN: That glove belongs on the hand of someone who loves the game. Me, I used to stand out in right field and chase butterflies.

CLAY: What if I told you there was a college prospect who threw 98 miles an hour accurately?

NATHAN: There must be a reason he doesn't have an Agent.

CLAY: Well, what if I told you his name was Kellerman? As in Professor Kellerman's son.

MOUTH: Oh, wow. I love it.

MILLICENT: It's to wear with your gray suit when you get that reporter job at the station.

MOUTH: Thank you.

MOUTH: Oh, it's the station. It's for you.

JULIAN: I think we should adopt.

BROOKE: I want that so much, and I want it with you. But are you sure we're ready?

JULIAN: Yeah. We're ready.

Quinn is looking at a picture of her sister and her.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Brooke prepares baby-shower party for Haley.

OUTSIDE

Nathan ans Clay are waiting on a bench.

JAMIE'S BEDROOM

Jamie is sitting on his bed.

MOUTH'S APARTMENT

Millicent wakes up for her first day at work.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Brooke practices for the interview at the adoption agency.

BROOKE: My parents? I'm so glad you asked. My parents are the two most supportive people on the planet. Mm. If I could wrap my childhood up in a bow and give it as a gift, I would.

JULIAN: What, with the mother in prison and the absentee father?

BROOKE: I just want it to be perfect.

JULIAN: I know, but just try to relax. It's only our first interview.

BROOKE: And it could be our only. Do you know how crazy it is that we got a call so soon? We need to prepare.

JULIAN: We need to prepare to be ourselves?

BROOKE: Trust me. I have been through this before. It takes some couples years to adopt. You don't get an opportunity like this every day. It's like all the stars aligned for us.

JULIAN: You know, maybe we should trust the stars, then.

BROOKE: Just promise me that you'll follow my lead today.

JULIAN: Okay. Okay, you're the expert.

OUTSIDE

Clay and Nathan are still here.

CLAY: All right, that's it. Time's up. I can't believe Ian just blew us off. Well, I guess that the Kellerman apple doesn't fall far from the douche-bag tree.

NATHAN: I would've pulled this move, too, back in the day.

CLAY: Yeah, and I wouldn't have signed you.

NATHAN: And you would've regretted it.

JAMIE'S BEDROOM

Haley-dressed in baseball garb-tells Jamie she's going to be at his game with a whistle.

HALEY: Hey! Are you sure you're not gonna regret me staying home today?

JAMIE: W-why are you wearing that?

HALEY: Because I'm so excited. I've got a new sport to watch. I got new lingo to learn and new plays to call and new cheers to cheer. Uh, uh, we want a catcher, not a belly scratcher!

JAMIE: There's no whistles in baseball, mom.

HALEY: Oh. Well, there is now.

JAMIE: Then the answer is no. I won't regret you not being there.

HALEY: Oh, boo. Get out of here, you.

JAMIE: No whistles!

MOUTH'S APARTMENT

Millicent is ready for her new job.

MILLICENT: Okay, here I come.

MOUTH: Wow. Millicent Huxtable, field reporter. I'd watch you all day long.

MILLICENT: Stop.

MOUTH: I'm serious. You look great.

MILLICENT: Well, I feel bad. This job should be yours, Marvin. You're great at your job, and I'm just some silly girl pretending to be a reporter.

MOUTH: Hey, they liked you on the audition tape, and so did I, and they were right. And the best part is now we'll be able to afford a whole muffin. Ooh, maybe even those green pistachio ones.

MILLICENT: I love those, but they're...

MOUTH: So expensive. Do it for the green pistachio muffins, Millie.

MILLICENT: Are you sure?

MOUTH: I'm sure. You're gonna do great.

MILLICENT: Thank you. Okay, here I go. I love you, Marvin McFadden.

CLINN'S HOUSE

Quinn talks to Clay about the brush she wants to give Haley for the baby.

CLAY: Is that for brushing or paddling?

QUINN: Very funny. It's for Haley. My mom had it engraved for me when I was born, and since she's having a girl, I thought she'd like it.

CLAY: You don't want to keep it?

QUINN: It'll mean a lot to her, and she deserves it. Haley's such an incredible...

(Her phone is ringing)

QUINN: Damn it! She will not stop calling me. She's been stalking me all morning to hang out, and I have to go to Brooke's and help set up for her surprise shower, and I'm running out of excuses.

CLAY: Easy. Tell her you have to rotate your tires. No one ever wants to help with tires. It's an inferior part of the car.

QUINN(at phone): Hi, Haley. Oh, no, sorry. I had my phone on silent by accident. Oh, I can't. I have to, uh, rotate my tires. No, that's not a euphemism. Oh, really? Great. Yay. See you soon.

(She hangs up)

QUINN: Guess what Haley knows how to do and offered to help me with right after we watch "Love Actually"?

CLAY: Honestly, you haven't rotated them in a while. That lying thing's a tangled web.

ADOPTION AGENCY

Brooke and Julian meet with Chloe about adopting her baby.

BROOKE: I was a great student, honor roll, that sort of thing. And now we're homebodies. A cup of green tea and a movie is us in a nutshell. Organic food.

JULIAN: Love the organic food.

CHLOE: Okay, uh, that sounds nice. So, um, do you guys mind if I ask you what you do for a living?

JULIAN: Oh, well, actually...Ow.

BROOKE: Actually, Julian is a pretty big-time film director. He used to live in Hollywood. And I am a clothing designer. Do you know Clothes Over Bros?

CHLOE: Oh, no, I don't really follow fashion.

BROOKE: Oh. That's good. That's good.

CHLOE: Okay, so, um, what about your parents? Would there be some supportive grandparents around?

JULIAN: Define "supportive." Ow!

BROOKE: Dear. Honey. Our parents are wonderful people solid, even-keeled. Wouldn't you agree, honey?

JULIAN: Mm-hmm.

Julian and Brooke leave the room and talks in the hall.

BROOKE: That went better than I expected. We sounded like the perfect parents.

JULIAN: We could've been a little bit more ourselves, but I'm sure she loved us, whoever we were in there.

BROOKE: Trust me. I've been through these kinds of things before, and that was an a-plus interview.

JULIAN: Yeah, I guess you're right. How could she not love us? Look how adorable we are.

BROOKE: You know what I think? I think we might be getting a baby, baby. Mm.

ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Brooke jumps on the bed.

JULIAN: Brooke? What's that sound?

BROOKE: We're getting a baby. We're getting a baby.

JULIAN: Brooke Penelope Davis Baker, you break that box spring, you're sleeping on the floor.

BROOKE: Ooh, daddy's mad, but there isn't a box spring.

JULIAN: Well, even so, you get over here before you mess up and I have to raise that baby alone.

BROOKE: Oh, yeah?

JULIAN: I gotcha, you crazy tigger-y thing.

BROOKE: Mm, I like it when you get me. I'm happy to be gotten. Mm. I love you, you know that?

JULIAN: Nice to know, since I love you back. So, what time's the shower?

BROOKE: Oh, whenever Quinn gets Haley here.

JULIAN: If.

BROOKE: What do you mean, "if"?

JULIAN: Surprise things never work out. There's always stress and telling people white lies by people who aren't even good at telling white lies, and it's always a mess.

BROOKE: Well, this one's gonna be great.

JULIAN: Okay.

BROOKE: So, I was thinking we...Oh. Are you getting undressed?

JULIAN: Yeah. Is that okay?

BROOKE: Yeah. Go ahead. I'll watch. Or we could try to break the box spring.

JULIAN: There isn't a box spring.

BROOKE: Even so, get over here. Oh! Aah!

(Julian jumps on the bed)

JULIAN: You're right. This is fun. We're getting a baby! Whoo! I'm gonna be a father!

NALEY'S HOUSE

Haley prepares some food for Nathan.

HALEY: Hey, hey. Big day, coach Scott.

NATHAN: Yep.

HALEY: Your son is very excited about Little League tryouts and surprisingly confident.

NATHAN: He should be. He's a Scott boy.

HALEY: What about the off-chance that he doesn't do so well? You gonna go all Dan Scott on him? I'm kidding! I just know how competitive you are.

NATHAN: I am not that competitive. Okay. That's fair.

HALEY: Here.

NATHAN: There's no whistles in baseball, Hales.

HALEY: Yeah, so I've been told.

NATHAN: Oh, and, Hales, my dad could never really get over who he thought he was supposed to be. But I'm just fine with being Jamie Scott's dad and Haley James' husband and father to...

HALEY: To?

NATHAN: Little...

HALEY: Nice try.

NATHAN: I gave it a shot.

HALEY: Actually, I-I do have an idea, but I kind of want to run it by somebody else first. Is that okay?

NATHAN: Of course.

HALEY: Have fun! Go, team Scott! Whoo-hoo!

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Quinn helps Brooke to prepare the shower.

BROOKE: Hey, Haley's calling you. Do you want me to get it?

QUINN: No, don't! Don't answer it.

BROOKE: Oh!

QUINN: Oh, she's driving me crazy. I need another excuse. Think.

BROOKE: Um, you could say...

QUINN(at phone): You're smothering me!

BROOKE: Really?

QUINN: Yeah, I'm not...not good at this.

BROOKE: No.

Julian is here.

JULIAN: All right, I'm headed out. I told Nathan and Clay I'd help coach Little League.

BROOKE: You're gonna help coach?

JULIAN: Just because my area of expertise is more in the butterfly-catching aspect of the game does not mean I will not be an asset. I'll give them a pep talk during intermission.

BROOKE: Intermission?

JULIAN: Halftime?

BROOKE: Seventh-inning stretch?

QUINN: There's only six innings in Little League.

BROOKE: Then I got nothing.

(Quinn's phone ring)

QUINN(at phone): Hi, Haley. Oh, sorry about that. No, no. Um, I'm actually already on my way, so I'll just. I'll see you soon. Yay! Ohh. Now I got nothing. I'm sorry. Can you finish this by yourself?

BROOKE: Yes, I'll be fine. Just make sure she gets here on time.

QUINN: I will. Bye, Julian.

JULIAN: Innings.

BROOKE: You got it.

BASEBALL FIELD

Chuck trains for the selection.

CLAY: You got it, Chuck. All right, come on, now. Stay in front of it. Keep your eye on the ball.

CHUCK: It took a bad hop!

CLAY: It's all right. No, not the shoes.

CHUCK: You guys suck!

Ian and a girl come in.

NATHAN: Jamie.

CLAY: A little late.

IAN: Uh, sorry, man. I had this, uh, thing. Do me a favor and get her name.

CLAY: Hey. I'm Clay. You must be...

KATE: Kate.

CLAY: Hey, Kate.

IAN: Yeah, Kate here loves baseball.

KATE: Players.

CLAY: Yeah.

NATHAN: Ian, I want you to meet my son. Jamie, this is Ian Kellerman. He's gonna be the next big thing in the major leagues if we have anything to say about it.

IAN: What's up, little man?

JAMIE: Hey.

IAN: Dude, nice glove.

JULIAN: That glove belonged to Roberto Clemente! Ooh, butterfly.

IAN: So, you got tryouts today, huh? Want to know a secret?

JAMIE: Sure.

IAN: All right. When you're getting up to bat, really take your time getting into the batter's box, right? And then right before the first pitch, make eye contact with the pitcher. Stare him down.

JAMIE: Like this?

IAN: Ooh, that's strong. Good. Then, right at the last second, smile at him. Really freaks them out.

JAMIE: Sweet. Thanks.

IAN: No problem, man. All right, guys, I got to run. I got to get Kate here home. Hey, uh, thanks for that, man. Let's get together later, say, uh, 3:00?

CLAY: Sure.

IAN: Let's go, Kate.

NATHAN: Ian. 3:00 means 3:00.

IAN: Hey, I said I was sorry, all right?

NATHAN: All right.

Julian whistles once.

JULIAN: All right. Let's get this audition started.

NATHAN: Julian, there's no whistles in baseball.

CLAY: Or auditions.

NALEY'S HOUSE

Quinn and Haley are sitting on the couch and talk.

QUINN: Oh, Brooke invited us over later, so I told her we'd have second half of girl's day over there. I hope that's okay.

HALEY: Nah. I don't think so.

QUINN: W-what?

HALEY: Well, I...sorry. I just haven't had the house to myself in so long. I kind of was looking forward to sitting on the couch and doing nothing all day, except for rotating those tires.

QUINN: Great.

HALEY: Actually, there is a reason I invited you over.

QUINN: Okay, fine, I will French-braid your hair, but you've got to learn to do this yourself. You're having a daughter, you know.

HALEY: A daughter that I really want to name after mom. I remember you told me once that you wanted to name your first daughter Lydia, so I just wanted to check if that was okay with you.

QUINN: You know what I want? I want a niece named Lydia. And she's gonna be beautiful, just like her mom. And just like our mom.

BASEBALL FIELD

Chuck and Jamie try out for the little league team.

CHUCK: You guys better move 10 feet back out there. You're about to get the Chuck special. Man, I got hosed!

CLAY: Jamie Scott, you're up.

JAMIE: Next time, just point to the dugout.

CHUCK: Chuck! No fair. Coach's son!

MOUTH'S APARTMENT

Millie shows Mouth the pile of work she has.

MOUTH: Hi.

MILLICENT: Hi. Can you believe all this?

MOUTH: Well, yeah, sort of. I did used to have that job.

MILLICENT: I didn't know I had to write my own stories. I don't know how to write my own stories.

MOUTH: I'm sorry. I should've told you that.

MILLICENT: I should go. I have to get to Haley's baby shower. What's so funny?

MOUTH: Um, you might want to leave that stuff here, unless you're planning on doing a story about the shower.

MILLICENT: Sorry. See you.

BASEBALL FIELD

Nathan and Clay pick the players for the team.

NATHAN: All right. In no order of importance, talent, or favoritism, we have Madison.

CLAY: You see that? Fortitude. Strong.

NATHAN: Okay, Steven. All right, Steven. Next is Daniel.

CLAY: Daniel. Daniel.

NATHAN: Clyde. Uh, Jamie Scott. Uh, Chuck.

CHUCK: Mvp! Mvp Chuck!

JULIAN: Oh!

NALEY'S HOUSE

Haley sets up an ice cream party.

QUINN: What's this?

HALEY: Ice-cream party for Jamie.

QUINN: Uh, no, we have to get going because Brooke's expecting us, remember?

HALEY: Oh, Brooke can wait. Ice cream is the best part about Little League.

Guys and the team eat ice-cream.

JULIAN: Mmm. Eating ice cream is the best part about Little League, except for maybe catching butterflies.

CLAY: Mmm.

QUINN: Okay, I'm supposed to get Haley to her shower, so please help me out.

HALEY: Hey! Who wants sprinkles?

CLAY: Sprinkles are good.

NATHAN: Yeah, and whipped cream.

QUINN: Please.

HALEY: Thank you. Okay. Quinny, I made some ice cream for us, too.

QUINN: Oh, yay. Eat. Eat your ice cream. Eat. Let's go. Go. Okay, mmm. I'm done. We can go.

HALEY: Quinn, there's no rush.

QUINN: We got to leave and go to Brooke's.

HALEY: Why?

QUINN: Because we're throwing you a surprise shower today! Ow. Brain freeze.

HALEY: You guys are throwing me a baby shower?

QUINN: Yeah. Please act surprised.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Quinn and Haley arrive.

GIRLS: Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

HALEY: Oh, my gosh. What do you guys mean, surprise? It's not like it's my birthday or anything. That too much?

QUINN: Yes.

HALEY: Hi!

BROOKE: You told her, didn't you?

QUINN: Totally.

BROOKE: Oh, yay!

ON THE DOCK

Nathan, Julian, and Clay meet Ian on the dock.

JULIAN: So, tell me again who this kid is.

CLAY: Oh, he's a douche.

NATHAN: He's a potential client.

CLAY: He's a douche-y one.

NATHAN: Yeah. Well, this is it.

JULIAN: We're meeting him on a boat? Sweet.

CLAY: Now I can say "I'm on a boat" when I'm actually on a boat.

JULIAN: Hope you brought your flippy-floppys.

NATHAN: Uh, how do we knock?

JULIAN: Maybe just rock it a bit?

CLAY: Too late.

(A girl leaves the boat)

IAN: Take care, Tracy. Her name's Tracy.

JULIAN: So, you live on a boat?

IAN: No, I party on a boat. It's my dad's pride and joy, so I like to trash it now and then. You guys in?

NATHAN: Maybe we should just go to a bar.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Haley is the princess of the day.

BROOKE: Okay, one more thing.

QUINN: Ooh.

HALEY: Oh, my goodness. I am the queen.

BROOKE: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

HALEY: Okay, is this from your bachelorette party?

BROOKE: Reuse, recycle.

ALEX: So, when's your big party coming?

QUINN: For what?

ALEX: Oh, shut up. You know you're totally getting a ring soon. You lucky bitch.

QUINN: No, no, no, I'm not getting a ring.

BROOKE: Are you and Clay getting engaged? I need to hear stories. I'm having postpartum wedding blues. Please tell me everything.

QUINN: All right, let's get this shower officially started. These presents aren't gonna open up themselves.

ALEX: Nice dodge, ring-getter.

BAR

The guys talk about their relationships with their fathers at the bar.

CLAY: That was nice.

IAN: Finally.

CLAY: So, Ian, how come your dad hates Nathan?

NATHAN: What he means is he and I got off on the wrong foot and never really got back on the right one.

IAN: That's funny. Had a similar experience with the old man.

JULIAN: Well, maybe you can fix it. You know, there was a time when I barely spoke to my dad, but it's good now.

IAN: It's not gonna happen, dude. My dad cares about three things books, his dog, and that boat.

NATHAN: Well, you have to admit, the dog is pretty cool. He rides skateboards.

CLAY: A skateboarding dog?

JULIAN: That's pretty cool.

NATHAN: What about your mom, Ian? Are you close to her?

IAN: Well, I was, but my mom was a smart woman. She had the good sense to divorce my dad and die before he could make her anymore miserable. Are you guys sure you don't want to go back and trash the boat?

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Quinn gives her present.

QUINN: So, even though we come from a big family, Haley and I have always been close. You know, you've always been there for me, my little sis someone to believe in, someone to share all my secrets with, and now...Jamie's getting a little sister, and I know that he's gonna love her as much as I love you. And you're gonna love your daughter as much as mom loved us.

HALEY: Quinn. This is yours. Mom gave it to you.

QUINN: I know, but now I'm giving it to you.

HALEY: "My girl." Thank you, sis.

QUINN: You're welcome. I love you.

HALEY: Oh.

BAR

Guys talk about brothers.

IAN: So, you guys have any brothers?

NATHAN: Mnh-mnh. I have a... Yes. Yeah.

IAN: So you guys understand, then. It was just me growing up, so all my dad's hopes and dreams were pinned on me.

NATHAN: I might have had a brother, but that didn't save either of us from our dad's failed dreams.

IAN: So you get it.

NATHAN: I get it.

CLAY: Oh, he gets it. Trust me.

IAN: I'll be right back.

CLAY: Dude, you have been zen all day today. What's going on with you?

JULIAN: Just taking in all the dad talk because Brooke and I are going to adopt. Yeah, we had our first interview with a birth mother this morning, and it went great, so we'll see.

NATHAN: That is news worth celebrating.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Girls drink champagne.

LAUREN: Ooh, thank you...

BROOKE: Mm-hmm.

LAUREN: For the champagne and for possibly saving my life.

BROOKE: Well, I'll drink to that. Cheers.

Haley can't drink alcohol.

HALEY: Oh, I miss beer.

ALEX: Get someone to drink it for you. The buzz isn't as good, but the hangover's better.

HALEY: Okay, chug that beer for me.

QUINN: No, have -- have Brooke do it. She's the expert.

BROOKE: What?!

QUINN: Come on. Oh, Brooke!

HALEY: Yeah, Brooke, chug a beer for me.

BROOKE: No way.

HALEY: Come on. It'll be like a designated driver, but a designated drinker please?

LAUREN: Listen to the pregnant lady.

BROOKE: I so should not have saved you.

GIRLS: All right. All right.

HALEY: Oh, that looks so refreshing.

BROOKE: Okay.

GIRLS: Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Brooke chugs a beer while Chloe shows up on her doorstep. She invites Chloe to stay for the party.

BROOKE: I'm so sorry...I-I didn't know that you were stopping by today. It's totally okay, of course. We're just throwing a baby shower for my friend.

CHLOE: Okay. It's okay. I understand. Um, I-I just came by to bring you these a little thank-you for meeting me this morning. I know it was last-minute.

BROOKE: You didn't have to do that. Do you want to come in and stay a while? Julian's not here, but you can meet some of our friends.

CHLOE: No, I-I should go. I don't want to crash.

BROOKE: No, honestly, stay. I'd love it. Um, just one thing I hope this isn't weird. We haven't told anyone about this, that we're trying to adopt. I just didn't want to get my hopes up in case it didn't happen, so...

HALEY: Hi.

CHLOE: Hi.

BROOKE: Haley, uh, this is, um...this is...

CHLOE: I-I'm... I'm Chloe. I-I came by to bring you guys some cookies for your baby shower.

HALEY: Thank you. That's really sweet of you. Everybody treats you so nice when you're pregnant. How far along are you?

CHLOE: Um, about to pop, far along.

HALEY: You must be starving. Feel free to have some food. And just, you know, don't eat my ho ho cake.

BROOKE: Um, Millie, will you show Chloe around? She's a fashion student and a friend. Okay.

MILLICENT: Okay?

BROOKE: Haley.

Brooke and Haley isolates in the kitchen.

BROOKE: I need to tell you something.

HALEY: Do you have any pickles?

BROOKE: Haley!

HALEY: What?

BROOKE: Julian and I only met Chloe this morning. She's putting her baby up for adoption, and she met with us.

HALEY: Oh, my...

BROOKE: Shh! Nobody knows yet.

HALEY: Oh, sorry. Oh, my God, I can't keep this in.

BROOKE: We might be moms together. But it's only if she likes us, and it's just the interview phase.

HALEY: How could she not like you?

BROOKE: Really? Do you think so?

HALEY: Are you kidding me? There's no way that girl can spend any time with you and not think you would be an amazing mother. My God!

Alex talks with Quinn.

ALEX: So, how does it work? Does he just guess what you like, or do you guys talk about it beforehand? I mean, that seems less fun, but then you at least get the ring that you want.

CHLOE: Oh, are you getting engaged?

QUINN: No, I'm just dating.

MILLICENT: They're in limbo. They're more than dating but not yet engaged. I am, too limbo.

QUINN: No, we're not in limbo. I just don't feel the need to rush into anything. I mean, maybe if I got pregnant, but...

BAR

Guys talks about children.

IAN: I can't imagine having kids, man, until I'm like 40, maybe.

NATHAN: Kids are great. You'll see. And hopefully Julian will be seeing very soon.

IAN: Well, dude, if it does happen, don't be a dick.

JULIAN: Okay.

IAN: I'm just saying, like, don't try to make your kid be you. My dad never got me, ever, not when I was 5, not now.

CLAY: You ever try talking to him about it?

IAN: No, man. I stopped trying to talk to him right about the time he stopped caring if we ever really spoke.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Brooke offers a drink to Chloe.

BROOKE: Hi. Here you go.

CHLOE: Oh, thank you.

MILLICENT: Brooke, I was just telling Chloe about my new job.

BROOKE: Oh, I forgot to congratulate you.

MILLICENT: Don't worry about it. At this rate, I could join you in the unemployment line by the end of the week.

BROOKE: Oh. I'm not unemployed.

MILLICENT: Okay, to-ma-to, to-mah-to. You lost your company. Um... So, anyway, about my new job, they gave me so much work to do, I'd have to start doing coke again just to get it all done. I'm joking.

BROOKE: She's joking.

MILLICENT: I can joke about rehab now.

BROOKE: Good.

CHLOE: Wait. You're unemployed? I thought you said you designed clothes.

BROOKE: I do. Well, I had a clothing company, a very successful one. We just got into some trouble, so I don't have that anymore. But I'm figuring out what I'm gonna do next with all my...

Victoria enters in the house.

VICTORIA: What? Really?

CHLOE: Who's that?

ALEX: Brooke, your bitch of a mom's here.

BROOKE: Mother.

VICTORIA: Why don't you return my calls?

BROOKE: This is really not a good time.

VICTORIA: I thought we were good after the wedding. Apparently someone goes to prison and you don't cut them a break?

CHLOE: Wait. Prison?

VICTORIA: Yeah, prison. Get used to it, everyone. I went to prison. It's not that big a deal. It happens.

MILLICENT: Victoria, have a Martini and calm down. Nobody here is ashamed about jail time. I mean, I went to jail, and I am not ashamed to say it.

ALEX: Honestly, who hasn't been to jail? I remember my visit very fondly.

BROOKE: Okay, can we all stop saying "jail"? Haley?

HALEY: Yeah. Let's just be rational and stop over exaggerating. Jail is so not that big of a deal.

QUINN: Well, you would know. I mean, you've been more than any of us.

CHLOE: Okay, wait. You've all been to jail?

LAUREN: Ooh, no. I haven't. Yet. I haven't yet.

CHLOE: Okay, you know what? I'm gonna go.

BROOKE: No, it's...

HALEY: I wanted to make a toast to my amazing friend Brooke for throwing this party and for...saving my son's life, because if she hadn't risked hers to save Jamie, I would not be standing here, with all of you, happy. Brooke, there is a reason why you are Jamie's godmother. And I'm thankful every day that you are. So, here's to my best friend, Brooke Davis. There is no one else to whom I would trust my child more.

Brooke apologizes to Chloe for lying and explains her desire to be a mother.

BROOKE: You almost forgot this.

CHLOE: Thanks.

BROOKE: Chloe, wait. There's something I need to say to you before you decide that we're not the right parents for your baby, starting with I'm sorry. I know I said a bunch of things to you this morning that weren't true, and I left out some things that maybe I shouldn't have, like losing my company and maybe my mom going to prison. But I did that because I was worried about what you would think of us.

CHLOE: Brooke, I'm 19 and pregnant. I kind of get the whole passing-judgment thing.

BROOKE: But I'm not 19, and I know that I should've been honest with you.

CHLOE: So be honest now.

BROOKE: When I was a teenager, I was a mess. I was popular, but I had no idea who I was or what I wanted. And I started a clothing line, and it became more successful than I could have ever dreamed. But even at the height of my success, I always felt like something was missing. Love. A family. And then I met Julian. And he is an amazing director, but he's an even more amazing man, and I know that he's gonna be the most amazing father. So there was a time when I didn't know who I was or who I wanted to be. But I've known for a long time now. I want to be a mom. And I want to see Julian be a dad. And I want our child to feel loved and protected, even when they're struggling, like I did, like -- like we all have.

CHLOE: You look really wasted here.

BROOKE: I was. I have better ones if...

CHLOE: No, it's...it's okay. Thank you for telling me the truth. I'll think about it, okay?

BASEBALL FIELD

Ian makes some throws.

NATHAN: You can't have an open bottle on the mound in the pros. Think you got to pour it in a cup.

IAN: You know how you spent the day today with your kid, just all the coaching and tryouts? To this day, my dad's come to one game one. And I pitched right here on campus.

NATHAN: I'm sorry, man. That's crazy.

IAN: It's okay, though, 'cause this is the only place in the world that he can't get to me right here on this mound. I guess he doesn't understand it. But you want to know a secret? Neither do I. And I don't want to know. I throw the ball, they swing, they miss. I don't want to know why or how. There's kind of a...a beauty in that, you know?

NATHAN: Yeah, I do know.

IAN: Which part?

NATHAN: All of it.

IAN: So you guys want to do this, be my agents?

NATHAN: We do. But I got to warn you, it might upset your father a little bit. You okay with that?

IAN: Perfect.

NATHAN: Welcome to Fortitude.

MOUTH'S APARTMENT

Millicent goes home.

MILLICENT: I'm home. What is all this?

MOUTH: I wrote a couple stories for you. I-I thought it might help. And I set up the camera so we can practice them together. When I went on the air for the first time, someone I love gave me this great advice, just pretend you're talking to me.

MILLICENT: Someone you love.

MOUTH: Yeah.

MILLICENT: Best roommate ever.

MOUTH: You ready?

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Julian and Brooke cleans up the house.

JULIAN: Well, that doesn't sound that bad.

BROOKE: It was that bad. There's no possible way she wants us as the parents after today. Millie basically told her that we're destitute while joking about her drug problem, and then my mother showed up yelling about prison.

JULIAN: Hey, look... I'm sure we can explain it.

BROOKE: I tried that. She still left.

NALEY'S HOUSE

Nathan is home.

NATHAN: Hey.

HALEY: Hey! Oh, come here. Mm.

NATHAN: Oh. What was that for?

HALEY: That was because Jamie said he had a great day, and his dad was a big part of that.

NATHAN: Well, how was his mom's day?

HALEY: It was good. It was great, actually. Um, and I think Lydia really enjoyed it, too.

NATHAN: Lydia.

HALEY: Yeah. I didn't want to get my hopes up until I talked to Quinn, but what do you think?

NATHAN: Nathan, Haley, Jamie, and Lydia. It's perfect.

HALEY: Yeah?

NATHAN: Mm-hmm.

HALEY: Mm.

CLAY'S CAR

Clay and Quinn go home.

CLAY: So, was it good, the shower?

QUINN: Huh? Yeah.

CLAY: Hey. Where's your head, Quinn James?

QUINN: Just thinking about something the girls said today. Wait. Pull over.

NALEY'S HOUSE

Jamie is dressed like a baseball player.

HALEY: Hey, look at you! That looks awesome! High five. Ha-ha.

JAMIE: Thanks. Did you have fun at your party?

HALEY: I did. I missed you, though. And I think the baby did, too.

JAMIE: Yeah, dad said you were gonna name her after grandma.

HALEY: Mm-hmm.

JAMIE: I think that's pretty cool. I made her a present.

HALEY: You did? "To Lydia. I can't wait to play catch with you. Love, your big brother Jamie." She's gonna love it. And she's gonna love having you as a big brother. Come here.

GARDEN

Quinn feels that she was already came here.

CLAY: Quinn?

QUINN: There's something about this place. It feels so familiar. Do you feel it?

FLASHBACK, GARDEN

Quinn and Clay already came here when they were in the coma.

QUINN: Beautiful.

CLAY: I was gonna take you here.

GARDEN

CLAY: Yeah. Have we been here before?

FLASHBACK, GARDEN

CLAY: Promise me that you'll go back here someday.

QUINN: We'll go together.

GARDEN

QUINN: No. I just want you to know that I love you. And I love us just where we are. You're perfect with me.

CLAY: I love us, too. And just where we are is my favorite place to be.

(They kiss)

BRULIAN'S HOUSE

Somebody knocks on the door, it's Chloe.

JULIAN: Oh, hey, Chloe.

CHLOE: Hi. Is Brooke here? I need to tell you guys something.

JULIAN: Yeah.

BROOKE: Yeah. Hi, Chloe. I'm here.

CHLOE: Hi. Um, so, I've...I've thought a lot about today and about everything, really. And, uh, it seems like you guys have a lot of baggage. The thing is, I-I want two people who are gonna love this baby, who can care for this baby, and who will understand when they make a mistake. So I think it's okay that you guys have, too. And that's the reason why I want you guys to be the parents.
