  • Sip — Peyton Sawyer draws something in her sketchbook during a personal crisis
  • Sip — Brooke Davis calls someone a bitch in a way that is clearly affectionate
  • Sip — Dan Scott manipulates a situation to ensure Nathan stays focused on basketball
  • Drink Twice — a flash-forward or time jump reshuffles the entire social hierarchy
  • Drink Twice — someone is hospitalized in Tree Hill for something that could have been avoided
  • Drink Twice — Haley James Scott stands in front of a microphone and decides to sing
  • Shot — Dan Scott's heart condition becomes a major plot point in a locker room scene
