Sam and Victoria then walk in as Brooke tells her to stay away from Victoria as that is what she wants as a mom, to keep her out of harm’s way. Sam gives Brooke coffee and tells them to play nicely and as she leaves, Brooke tells Victoria to stop whatever she is up to as she does not want a vulnerable girl like Sam to attach to her and be disappointed. As Victoria argues that she does not intend to disappoint her, Brooke says she never does. Just then, a mail man walks in and Victoria snatches the post off him. As Brooke tells her to stop being so mean, Victoria says she can never win with Brooke as Brooke agrees with her, reminding her that their situation is strictly business and that includes Sam.

Haley brings Peyton a new issue of B. Davis magazine and as she walks in, Peyton drags her to the bed and tells her the number of turns her fan does every minute. Haley realizes that Peyton is not doing so well being locked up in her room as Peyton tells her that the baby is doing very well. Peyton tells her that the record company have rang her and they want to buy one of her songs as an artist is looking to record it. Haley admits she has never considered selling music as Peyton says that the company is raving about it so she should.

At training, Nathan walks past Devon who is begging Bobby to be back on the team. He tells Bobby that the team is full and that he cannot give him a place. Devon shakes his hand and sees Nathan before walking off. Bobby compliments Nino and Nathan on their work together and tells him the scouts have noticed his behavior and seem to be potentially interested in him. Victoria reads a letter addressed to Sam. She finds out it is her birth mother looking to make contact with her and shocked begins to shred the letters.

Brooke then yells across for Victoria to stop talking to Sam. As she does, Sam and Victoria laugh.

Mia finishes playing Peyton her new song as Peyton compliments the music and tells her how she loves Chase for inspiring her. Mia tells Peyton that her inspiration is due to Chase being such a good kisser as Peyton agrees he is a good kisser. Mia is shocked as Peyton explains it happened once or twice but to make Lucas and Brooke jealous.

Nathan is told that he has received an offer from a European team and should be grateful for the two year deal as many NBA players are leaving for Europe. Nathan is not so impressed and asks for a spot in the NBA instead. He thinks about it as Bobby says he has until tomorrow to decide.

Brooke catches Sam and Victoria bonding.

Sam and Victoria are walking down the street as she asks Sam to go into a shop, but Sam says she cannot as she has shoplifted from the store before. Victoria is shocked and tells Sam that Clothes Over Bro’s lost millions of dollars because of shoplifters and that makes the clothing prices so high. She tells Sam that if she is a part of the Davis family and needs to stop doing ‘common’ things such as shoplifting. She then takes Sam into the store.

Mia tells her that it is Brooke Davis as Haley says that she is Mia Catalano. She admits she feels stupid as everyone else knew but Haley says that she can relate as she found out Nathan lost his virginity to her sister, and Mia tells her that she wins. She tells her that Chase never said anything as he is too in love with her to think of anyone else and sends her to record some more.

Lucas reads a road map in the comet as he remembers Peyton attempting to read the map and having difficulty. They laugh at how she cannot read a road map as she tells him that she has a surprise for him too. She tell him that she sent copies of his book, An Unkindness of Ravens, to New York publishers and laughs at how she done what he once done to her. He thanks her as he wanted to do it, but was too afraid as Peyton understands and reminds him that someone once told her that her art matters. As Lucas thanks her, Peyton asks for more than a thank you and says that she wants a hot actress playing her in the movie when the book becomes so successful. As they laugh, the car tire busts and they are forced to pull over at the side of the road.

In the shop, Sam is telling Victoria about Julian being in L.A. and how Brooke secretly wanted to go as she did too. As they shop, Victoria notices the sales manager behind them. She tells her that she cannot be serious by following her as it is someone else they should be watching and points out a shoplifter. She makes Sam apologize and tells the sales manager to go and be useless at her job again. She storms out as Sam follows her. Sam asks why she is such a bitch as Victoria says that she gets a high from it. She says that if she could give up shoplifting, maybe she should give up being mean.

He tells him that he is there to talk about both of these and asks if he thinks he is good enough to make it to NBA.

Skills and Jamie are sat in Skills’ apartment as Jamie wonders what Chuck has that she does not. Skills tells him not to let Madison ruin the dance for him as Jamie says that he is not going but Skills says that someone’s first dance decides the reputation that will follow them through school.

Meanwhile, whilst Peyton is in the livingroom going crazy, Lucas is fixing up her car. He remembers eating in the cafe with Peyton and worrying with the amount she was eating that she was eating for two, but Peyton assures her that when she does get pregnant, she will eat so much more. She reminds him that he said the trip was their last hurrah so they had to stop for "the worlds best pie." She tells him that when her car leaves for L.A. tomorrow, she officially becomes an adult and then can no longer be spontaneous. Lucas offers to do it in style as Lucas suggests a dine and dash. Peyton reluctantly agrees and rushes out as Lucas pays the waitress and tips her if she runs out screaming after them.

At the dance, Jamie and Skills are regretting coming as Skills tells Jamie that there are plenty girls who he could be spending his time with, as a girl beside him coughs very obviously.

Nathan gets home from practicing basketball as Haley tells him about Jamie before the dance. He sits down next to his wife and tells her about his deal in Europe and tells her that he is seriously considering taking it.

Victoria tells her that Sam’s birth mother made her mistakes when she had her chance and it is too late for her to show up now. As she says this, Brooke is shocked and asks if she is kidding. Victoria tells her that she never abandoned Brooke as Brooke says that she did not physically and that might be worse. Victoria tells her that she knows how much Sam meant to her and shredded the letters for her, but Brooke refuses to believe it as she has never done anything for her.

As Nick finishes recording, Haley compliments Nick and tells him that he can record it as long as she can produce it.

Brooke gets home and gives Sam her letters, but Sam refuses to read it as her birth mom gave her up so does not want her. As Sam guesses what it says, she says that she could have said it in the coffee shop and did not realize it was her daughter so missed out. Brooke reminds her that she has been going to the coffee shop for months so obviously wants something from her, even if it is closure. Sam agrees that she wants to know why she was not good enough, why she was not loved enough, why she got thrown away. Brooke tells her that she may needs to tell her why it was so difficult to give it up, but had to.
