Nathan remembers better times with Haley.

Anna gets home to an angry Felix. She finds out he has been expelled and tells her that no one even cared about the locker being vandalized, but Anna disagrees and tells him that Brooke will care if no one elses. As Brooke gets home, she finds a girl called Charlotte looking at her house to move into. The girl is not happy about moving and asks what they do for fun in the middle of nowhere. As Brooke tells her a load of lies pretending she is a hilbilly, Charlotte walks off, just as Felix goes to see her. When he asks who the girl is, Brooke says it is the new her. Lucas goes to see Karen and asks how Keith is doing. Karen promises him that he will get over it, eventually, but it will take sometime. He wishes he had told Keith, but Karen tells him that he had his heart in the right place. Changing the subject, Karen asks when Lucas is moving back in considering that the secret has been revealed, but Lucas says he isn't as he is Dan's only weakness and possibly the only way to stop Dan doing something like that again, so he wants to stay to protect the people close to him, Karen is not happy about it. Also in the cafe, Andy is talking to Jake about custody, he says he should go to court as it is the better thing to do, and much better than running all his life. He offers him a lawyer and Jake feels the need to reject it as it is unfair, but Andy insists, so Jake takes him up on the offer. Nathan continues his journey and calls his apartment, he smiles as he hears him and Haley on the answering machine and remembers when they recorded it together, as they do, Haley mentions that they can't answer as they are having sex, so Nathan jumps on her making them both fall off the bed as the machine records them.

Karen goes to see Keith to see how he is coping. Keith tries to close the door on her but Karen stops it and explains she had no idea about it until minutes before the wedding. She also tries to let him know that Jules did love him and that she would happily be with him for real. Keith tells her that he doesn't think they could get back together, but he still wants to know the truth. Karen gives him a file of 'Emily Chambers,' who Jules really was. She tells him that, much to Dan's dislike, she got the best thing in her life from him, Lucas, and maybe Keith could have the same thing if he goes and finds Jules. Peyton and Brooke are together and Peyton tells her that she doesn't understand how everyone's lives are being ripped apart in front of her, and she can't do anything to stop it. Brooke tries to comfort her, and then Peyton reveals that it was Felix that vandalized her locker. Furious, Brooke races over to Felix's house and bangs on the door, as he answers, she tells him they are done. She storms away and as Felix races after her apologizing, Brooke won't listen and breaks up with him, calling him a hateful scumbag and telling him to drop dead. Lucas returns to Dan's house to find him marking papers, when asked if he is leaving, Lucas reveals to his father that he is staying as Dan kept his promise not to tell Keith, even though he found out through Karen, and plus, he also needs his medication to be paid for. As Nathan continues his drive to see Haley, he remembers when they got home from their wedding. He carries her across the threshold of their apartment and apologizes for not being able to afford a honeymoon. As they walk in, Haley is shocked to see the apartment done up with petals and candles leading up to the bedroom door which has a poster on saying 'Honeymoon Suite, Do Not Disturb.' Haley is overwhelmed and drags him into the bedroom.

Nathan arrives at Haley's concert and gets in backstage as he tells the bodyguard that he is looking for 'Haley James' and that he is her husband. He goes in her dressing room to find her mirror with a photo of their wedding day on. As he looks at the other photos, he finds pictures of Chris and her laughing together and looking really close. Haley then walks in behind him. He turns around and promises that he is not going to give up on their marriage and that he wants to be with her for the rest of his life. He says he will wait and do whatever she wants him to do. Shocked, Haley doesn't know what to say and confesses that she thinks she rushed into marriage and wasn't prepared for music and her relationship to be too much for her to handle. Nathan then realizes she isn't wearing her wedding ring. She promises him that she isn't with Chris and she still loves him, but she doesn't know if she can be who he wants her to be, Haley is then called onstage and asks Nathan to wait so they can talk this through. Back at Tree Hill, Felix tells Anna he is being sent to military school. He is mad that he has protected Anna and she has done this to him, but Anna tells him that it is a hate crime and that 'dyke' is not just word, it is a label. She confesses to him that she is gay and that he has made her afraid to be who she wants to be and she refuses to be afraid anymore. She then asks if he still has her back, but Felix just looks at her with disgust and walks out the room.

Brooke and Lucas are walking down a street as she tells Lucas that she is constantly taking everything in as she knows that it will probably be the last time she will see all of Tree Hill. As they arrive at Lucas' house, he leads her into his old room and she finds that all her stuff is in his room. Confused, Brooke asks what is going on, and Lucas tells her that Karen has persuaded her parents to let her stay with Karen through the summer. Delighted, she hugs Lucas telling him that she is so glad as she wasn't ready to be lost. Jake goes to see Peyton and tells her that he is sick of running and won't do it as he has her now too.
