When the star basketball player at Tree Hill High is tragically murdered for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, everyone has to learn how to cope.

Lucas and Skills have to break the horrific news to the basketball team, while Nathan and Haley tell their 5-year-old son his newly-found mentor friend is not going to be around anymore – what a tearjerker.

Brooke’s still recovering from her robbery assault while continuing to keep it a secret and shutting her friends out.

Message for Peyton: Try talking to your best friend for more than 30 seconds and you might find some stuff out.

Dan (Nathan and Lucas’s dad) attempts to escape from the psychoex-nanny – who’s holding him hostage – when he falls on a grave exposing her secret. Deb (Nathan’s mother) comforts Skills at the funeral, uncovering their secret relationship for all to see. Do I smell a theme of exposing secrets? Maybe it will be Brooke’s turn is next.

Can’t wait to see how Nathan reacts to his mom and his best friend’s romance.

“One Tree Hill” airs on the CW Monday at 9 p.m.
