One Tree Hill 5X16: Cryin' Won't Help You Now (Patreon)

I'm glad to see that pretty much everyone's reaction to the news that Dan is dying, is that he's lying. Lol. That said, it probably means it true. And that said, I'm sure he won't actually die. Grrr.

While, I'm not sure there is any right answer, I really hope that Jamie doesn't wear Nathan and Haley down and get them to agree to let him see Dan. Honestly, from Jamie's perspective all he sees and understands is that the grandpa he loves, he isn't allowed to see and he's too little to understand why. But, as we saw at the end of this episode, Dan still has a hell of a temper when he doesn't get his way, and it's just not safe for him to be around Jamie, especially unsupervised.

(If I believed in a hell, I might be going there for how giddy I often get when I think about Dan dying. I cannot believe I ended up using this thumbnail, but I was so unexpectedly happy!)

But, seriously, Haley, bury that thank you card. Why would leave it on the top of the trash? There is zero chance Jamie is not finding that!

It been interesting watching Dan this season. In all honesty, sometimes, I do feel for him a little bit. But most of the time, I'm still horrendously angry at him. I was mostly the latter in this episode and scream a lot when he's on screen. (And cheer when Nathan turns him down).

In other news, Brooke somehow manages both the baby and the meeting at Macy's at the same time, since Milly went to help Mouth with his on air nervousness. It seemed like it went very well. I'm not sure what the demographic for those onesies are though. I think part of the appeal of onesies is that they are cute, not trendy and fashionable, but I've never had a baby, so what to I know.

We've got a new Raven's strategy thanks to Jamie (well sort of). Q comes back and all is well.

I'm not entirely sure what it means that Peyton is crying over this manuscript. Do we think it's because she now thinks (like everyone else) that Luke was writing about her? Or is it simply because she was moved by this epic love story? Or does she just like Luke's writing? I have to assume it's the first, right?
