Synopsis[]

614 p worries about wedding

Peyton worries about her wedding whilst being pregnant.

As a policeman takes down the tape around his house, Jack watches as his phone rings. Sam leaves a message expressing her worry for him and asks him to call, but Jack ignores it. Julian goes to knock for Sam and asks how Jack is, and Sam admits that he is probably not doing too well and says she has not talk to him but Julian says that Jack probably needs her right now. Brooke walks in explaining to Julian that she has had too much going on to talk about costumes as Julian reveals a gossip magazine with her face on it. As Brooke tells him that she wishes the press would go away, Julian says that she should frame it for her actions, but Brooke would see it as a reminder that her attacker was the person who killed Quentin and if she had reported it, she could have prevented it. Julian assures her that her attacker was in a mask so the police would not have found the attacker. Brooke tells him that she knows but thinks it is sad. Julian asks her to work all day and will see her later that day, to which Brooke agrees and gets teased with by Sam as she thinks it is a date. Peyton is looking in the mirror with a big stomach as Lucas walks in admitting how fast she grew. Peyton drops out a basketball and says to Lucas that she just realized that she will be pregnant on their wedding day. Lucas asks what is really bothering her as Peyton reveals she is worried about telling Brooke. Meanwhile, Sam asks Brooke how she is going to tell Peyton about her date as Brooke denies that it is a date but a business meeting. Sam says that Julian called her ‘hot’ so she could dress sexy to impress him.
