One Tree Hill: Episode 5.13 "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace" Recap

buddytv · 04-14-2008, 04:27 PM

When we last left the world of One Tree Hill, Lindsey decided not to marry Lucas after figuring out that he's still deeply in love with Peyton. In addition to the wedding disaster, Brooke randomly declared that she wants to have a baby, and Dan made his presence known by rescuing Jamie from the evil clutches of nanny Carrie. It's been a long time since the show's 100th episode, but tonight it's finally back with the first of six brand new installments.

In "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace," Lucas and Nathan welcome their dad home with hugs, teary eyes, and a giant party thrown in his honor. Nah, just kidding. Their reaction to Dan's return is a lot more violent than that.

Had it not been for Nathan, Haley, Jamie, and Dan's scenes, I would've fallen right to sleep watching this episode. I loved Nathan talking about how he fell in love with Haley and that feeling of being vulnerable. I actually got all teary-eyed watching that scene. I think the marriage counselor gave some great suggestions...Nathan and Haley got married and had a kid so young that they had to grow up quick. It'd be nice to see them get a chance to enjoy being young again, especially since they're only 22. And I'm actually into the idea of them attempting to follow their dreams...they've always supported each other and cheered each other on so this will just bring them even closer together. I just wish their sex scene could've been steamier 'cause it's like 13 eps into season 5 and they haven't been together in that way in like 5 or 6 months, but I'll take what I can get.

Dan was actually scarier to me trying to act normal, lol. He wouldn't shut up about Jamie and I started wonde

I started wondering if Dan had lost his mind. Either way, hopefully the next episode is better than this one.

Okay, so we spen d FOREVER trying to get rid of Lindsey, and now Lucas wants to bring her back into the show? I think not! The actress does a great job with her character.... But I hate Lindsey.......

I loved this episode! We learned a lot about the characters, what they're like this season. Probably some people thought that nothing really happened in this ep, but I'd choose an ep filled with character development over an action-packed one anyday.

boring episode ,,,,,,,,,,,bring on excitement

I wasn't as offended by the boringness (I watched all 9 weeks of In Treatment after all), but by the shameful pop psychology and the self-consciously pretentious storytelling. This was, I guess, OTH's idea of "Conversations with Dead People," letting every talk out their feelings to move the plot to the next level. Peyton was dull, Brooke is in no way fit to adopt (her entire reasoning is selfish), and Nathan and Haley are the worst. When the therapist asked what the most reckless, careless thing they've done recently is, and I shouted out: "Teen marriage and pregnancy." The only awesome thing was Grandpa Dan, the best character ever (luckily, I'm not burburdened by four seasons of appaently him acting awful and evil).

Ha...comparing this episode to "Conversations with Dead People" is hilarious, though I can see the similarities in structure, if not quality. The stuff with Jamie and Dan was great. The rest was pretty much sleep inducing.

It wasn't the best episode ever- i agree, BUT, remember what the last episode was? Lucas left at the altar, and the return of Dan. You can't just go back to normal after that. I think in a sense they needed something a bit low key after last episode. The reason I think people are disappointed is because we've had to wait so long and we want to get more involved in the bigger storylines.

I think next week will be a lot better and this will blow over like any other episode.
