After last week’s explosive episode, this week, A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene’ was a major letdown. I mean, majjjor letdown. I didn’t like it at all.  I expected an epic fight between Mouth and Millie. Instead, they got drunk separately and she decided to leave town quietly. I have officially lost all respect for Mouth.

He worked his whole life to get a shot like the one he had in Omaha then gave up his career to be with Millie. He messed that up by contemplating sex with an ex and pushed Millie away. Ok, he’s not all bad. Granted, he was a saint for sleeping in the same bed as his virginal girlfriend but it’s not like she tricked him into it. The whole thing makes me think he was too afraid of leaving Tree Hill once he achieved his dream. His return had more to do with that than with love otherwise he would have never had his head turned by Gigi and he would have fought harder to keep Millie.

In what was barely a whisper, everyone found out Peyton is pregnant. There were no fireworks.

Just Brooke crying because her second (very tight) attempt at Peyton’s wedding dress was down the tubes. This is Peyton and Lucas’ baby people. It is a very big deal! They are the foundation of the whole show, the couple that everything revolves around. Accidentally letting Haley know or Sam letting it slip to Julian, well, I felt cheated that these weren’t bigger moments.
