Nathan (James Lafferty), still mad at Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), tells her he's leaving for camp, while she would make amends with him and continue their relationship.
Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Peyton (Hilarie Burton) have spent the whole summer together, growing closer again and forming a great friendship by hanging out, sharing mutual secrets and intimate things, resulting in their bond becoming stronger than it has ever been.
Peyton feels like her mother lied to her by not telling her she was adopted, but her father, Larry, promises her they planned to but couldn't as she died.
Brooke tells Lucas she’s thought they could have a sort of non-exclusive fling, being able to see other people: he hesitantly accepts, pretending to be satisfied although he would try again to be together with her for real.
As he says this, motives and images of Jules, Lucas, Nathan, Haley, Deb, Karen, Whitey, Keith, and Andy flash across the screen.
