3:21: Over the Hills and Far Away

Always and Forever | A One Tree Hill Podcast

It took longer to edit this episode than it took Brooke to make Haley’s wedding dress, so we hope you enjoy it! In One Tree Hill S3E21: Over the Hills and Far Away, Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Karen (Moira Kelly) return home to Tree Hill as the gang prepares for Nathan (James Lafferty) and Haley’s (Bethany Joy Lenz) wedding day. And Brooke (Sophia Bush) is somehow able to organize a rehearsal party (with skits!), make TWO wedding dresses, fight with Haley about the dresses, and go shopping with her bff Peyton (Hilarie Burton Morgan). Actually…are Brooke and Peyton still bffs? Jake (Bryan Greenberg) and Peyton break up after the two realize that she still has feelings for Lucas, which Peyton confesses to Brooke. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!? In other news, Rachel (Danneel Ackles) is upset that Cooper (Michael Trucco) isn’t returning her phone calls. Also, Marcus (Marcus Coloma) returns and shows the gang that he has changed since the day they were taken hostage in the tutor center. Seeing that a jerk like Marcus could change inspires Haley to invite Dan (Paul Johansson) to the wedding.

We can’t believe we’re at the penultimate episode of season three! Below are some topics and hot takes from our episode:

• It’s a shame that Marcus didn’t get to have more episodes (and the actor would’ve been a much better Felix).
• Lucas and Karen’s road trip.
• Was Deb (Barbara Alyn Woods) a little too mean to Rachel?
• Why does this show love non-linear storytelling so much?
• The reasons for Jake and Peyton’s breakup are not good enough reasons to end a relationship (not to mention this storyline feels forced).
• Kaitlyn, the pod’s #1 Leyton shipper, also doesn’t like the Jeyton breakup!
• One host has future plans for a Naley-style rehearsal party.
• The skits at Nathan and Haley’s rehearsal party, which Kaitlyn finds to be awkward and Jeremy finds to be amazing. What do you dear listeners think?
• Kaitlyn squeals and unpacks her love for the Leyton clip show toward the end of the episode.
• Why was Haley the one who got to go on this arc that ended with her choosing to invite Dan to the wedding? Wouldn’t it have made more sense for Nathan to have gone through this journey?
• Who do the princess and the boy represent in Jake’s storybook?
