The following days show the progression of the Tree Hill friends and family going through the stages of grieving.

Denial. As everyone departs, Karen and Lucas are the only two left. Karen breaks down in tears. Nathan and Haley go back to the Scott household to get changed and go to Karen's, and he tells her he never wants to come that close to losing her again and Haley promises never to leave before they kiss and make love. At Karen's house, people reflect on Keith's life. As they all remember, Mouth brings up Jimmy Edwards' funeral on Tuesday as Lucas walks in. He tells Mouth not to talk about Jimmy in his house. Dan is driving home as he stops as he thinks he sees a young Keith in front of the car. Back in the house, Larry and Peyton come in and Larry thanks Lucas for saving his daughter as Brooke talks to a distant Peyton. Haley and Nathan are still at their house in bed and declare themselves officially the worst friends/family ever. Nathan tells her his mom is coming home and the two tell each other how much they love each other. As the students go back to school, they find themselves faced with metal detectors for safety. Lucas stands in front of Jimmy's locker as Brooke finds him. There is a small collection of dedications from students. He approaches it and kicks it to pieces before walking to class.

Anger. Haley gets into Brooke's apartment to find her going through material and she is told it is Karen's wedding dress material she ordered. Trying to make her happy, Haley tells her that her and Nathan are going to be a proper couple and she will be moving out. Brooke is happy for her telling her that life is too short to not be in love. Meanwhile, Larry is helping Peyton do everything. He cancels his next trip as he hated receiving that call, as he has had two now, and that was too many. As he goes in the cupboard he finds Ellie's records that she can't bring herself to play. Lucas gets a text to meet them at their highschool and he does to see Rachel, who takes him inside. As he goes in, he finds a party in the school. Brooke tells him she has set up a party for everyone to be together like they should, as a school. She offers her support as Lucas is actually angry with her seeing a party exactly where Keith was murdered and then sees Peyton through the crowd and immediately chases her. The two share an intimate moment as Lucas, thanks to her, finally finds some peace from his pain and is able to distract himself a bit from the whole dramatic situation. He teases her about what happened in the library and, as Peyton takes everything she said back, the two laugh it off pretending that it meant nothing, then Lucas tells her that while he does love her, he’s now with Brooke. Peyton is relieved to hear that and checks they are ok, which Lucas agrees to. She tells Lucas to let Brooke in as he asks her how she knows he and Brooke aren’t able to get each other and she responds she knows him because they are the same way. As Peyton leaves, Lucas apologizes to her because he thinks he was not there enough for her after Ellie’s death, but Peyton reassures him it’s okay. Back in the hallway, Lucas loses his temper with a boy and throws him against the wall asking for respect. He storms out as Brooke chases after him, but Lucas says she won't understand as she wasn't there, but Brooke assures him, she was. As he argues that someone died in that hallway, Mouth argues back that two people died in that hallway.

He receives the cold shoulder. She gives him a hard time about not caring enough as Dan says he could mend his mistakes through Lucas as he is old enough to make his own decisions like going into the school and pulling him out the dealership. Karen is shocked by his revelation. She walks into Lucas' room and asks, to which Lucas confesses to. As they begin to argue about his stupidity, Lucas blames himself and apologizes, but Karen says sorry won't bring him back, much to Lucas' shock.

Guilt. Mouth is putting back the dedications to Jimmy as Rachel approaches saying it wasn't his fault.

Depression. Nathan and Haley go to see Lucas in the cafe who tells Haley he withdraws his prediction as it won't happen without Keith. As he tells her that Karen blames him, Haley tells him that she is wrong, that Keith would have went in after Jimmy no matter what. Nathan tells him that if it wasn't for him, they would be at Peyton's funeral so he did the right thing going in. Haley tells him that not all his predictions won't come true as his first one was to try again with Brooke. So, Lucas goes to the school in search of Brooke, only to be caught by Whitey, who lets him off as he wants to talk to him, but he has been too upset. He tells Lucas that Keith has always been his dad no matter what and Lucas confesses he just wants him back. Whitey then confides in Lucas telling him how dark his life was when his wife died. But it was one of his students that stopped the darkness and helped him, the student was called Keith Scott. Whitey admits there is no answer but he has to be the man Keith taught him to be. At Keith's grave, Dan hears and sees Keith around the graveyard asking why he done what he did. He tells the ghost that he doesn't care as it was Keith that started the war, he finished it.

Haley and Nathan get back to the apartment to find it done up by Brooke, including a new duvet made of Karen's wedding dress material. Haley wishes it would rain, but Nathan says he can help that. Peyton gets home to find she has a guest waiting for her, Larry shows her to a limo where Pete from Fall Out Boy is waiting for her. Delighted, Peyton goes to see him.

As he tells her this, the sprinklers come on in the football field where they sit and they kiss happily after Haley's wish for rain. Lucas gets in to see Brooke in his bed and apologizes for yelling at her. As they lie together, Brooke wishes it was her Lucas rescued and she knows it is selfish but she wanted to and Lucas tells her it is ok. Brooke then goes to see Peyton and apologizes for leaving her. Peyton tells her the only thing that helped her in the library was knowing her best friend was safe as Brooke thanks her, but says that it was Lucas and that he clearly loves her and both know it’s true. Peyton is then forced to defend Lucas and still be in denial about how the two of them really feel about each other saying how much they both love her and not each other and Brooke is relieved to hear it, then she cries as Peyton hugs her. As the girls get upstairs, Larry has made Peyton shelves for her music from Ellie. Peyton is shocked and asks where her bed is. Larry tells her they are getting two singles, one for Brooke as she is moving in. As they celebrate, Peyton tells Brooke about Pete from Fall Out Boy and that she made out with him, but Brooke feels sorry for her lying about it. Karen cuts herself on the plate and starts bleeding, as Lucas comes behind in a suit to go to Jimmy's funeral. As Karen forbids it, Lucas says it is what Keith will have wanted and walks out with the river court boys. As they arrive, Jimmy's mother is the only one attending and is delighted to see them.
