Synopsis[]
The girls go to New York for Brooke's Rogue Vogue
Brooke is on the road to New York for Rogue Vogue with Peyton and Haley, intending on flying to Charlotte for the cheerleading competition the next day. As they drive, Peyton tells the girls she has vowed to live life to the fullest like Ellie asked. Meanwhile, on the school bus to the Classic, Whitey gives the Ravens and the cheerleaders a lecture on not having a repeat of last year and announces an 11pm curfew. He also make a point of saying that the curfew applies to the chaperones, referring to Karen and Keith who are blissfully in love. Back at the car, Brooke leads the girls in a car game where they ask a question and tune the radio for a song to give their answer. However, they quickly abandon it when they see the skyline of New York City.
At the hotel, Rachel is giving the cheerleaders instructions and they are shocked as she is stricter than Brooke. Meanwhile, Brooke arrives at the fashion show and is amazed at her surroundings. However, the staff inform her that the schedule has changed and she will be presenting her designs the next day. Brooke panics because now she can't compete at the cheerleading competition but Haley and Peyton encourage her to stay and wish her luck before departing. Back at the hotel, Karen and Keith settle into their room and look forward to a romantic night together but Whitey informs them that Keith is sharing the room with him as to set a good example for the children. Lucas and Nathan get in their room but are dismayed to discover it is a double bed, instead of two twin beds. Lucas wins a round of rock, paper, scissors and wins the bed. A knock on the door reveals Tony Battle, Nathan's friend Tony Battle from High Flyers camp and rival for the Classic. After hearing that the boys have curfew, Tony invites them to an "early wild night", which the boys agree to.
Rachel teaches the girls the cheer routine.
Bevin pretends to be ill to get rid of her cheerleader roommate out the room as Skills has come to see her. At the fashion show, Brooke is overwhelmed until her model for the show, Solaris greets her. Solaris reveals that she too is a teenager and she and Brooke bond over being "kids" in an adult industry. Solaris invites Brooke to a club. Tony takes Nathan and Lucas to dinner at his house while Rachel continues to put the cheerleaders under pressure as she teaches the routine. Haley and Peyton finally arrive but Rachel ends practice and insists they all get some rest. Haley rushes off to see Nathan so Rachel invites a lonely Peyton to her room to share tequila.
Solaris
In New York, Brooke joins Solaris at the club. Solaris refers to a model in her 20s as old and washed up, which worries Brooke that the New York may be too fast paced for her. Back at the hotel, Rachel and Peyton share a drink when Bevin calls. Bevin informs Rachel that there has been a switch in the rooms--Haley is now sleeping in Nathan's room so Lucas has been moved to Peyton's room so Peyton is free to sleep in Bevin's room as Bevin will be out all night with Skills. However, Rachel lies to Peyton and claims Bevin was just leaving a message so Peyton will spend the night with Lucas. On her date with Skills, Bevin invites Skills to go swimming but he admits that he can't. Bevin offers to teach him and tempts him with her bikini.
At Tony's house, Lucas and Nathan eat dinner and discover that Tony's father, Chuck, also played basketball but quit for his family. The two brothers compare their father's ideas to his and Tony's father insists every father hopes for the best for their child, even a man like Dan. Whitey interrupts Keith and Karen's romantic date to coerce Keith into going bowling with him. Back in New York, Brooke finds Solaris in the V.I.P room, passed out after using heroin. As she tries to revive Solaris, a creepy older man tries to hit on Brooke even after she informs him that she is only seventeen. Disgusted and terrified, Brooke leaves and grabs a cab.
Lucas gets eye shadow applied
Peyton talks about Ellie while having another drink, but Rachel refuses to be a shoulder to cry on. Haley knocks on Karen's door and asks to hang out until Nathan returns. Karen and Haley agree to watch a movie but accidentally put on porn, much to their embarrassment. Meanwhile, Nathan and Tony play basketball as Lucas puts on make up with Tony's younger sister Aliyah. On the taxi ride home, Brooke calls Lucas and cries as she tells him how much she misses him. On her way to the hotel, she asks the taxi driver, Daoul, to turn on the radio, playing her road trip game to help her decide what to do. A Hindi song "Mere sapno ki raani" plays and Daoul explains the song is about a girl who is torn between two men, one offers her wealth whereas the other man offers her familiarity, relating to Brooke’s situation. Brooke asks for his advice and Daoul tells Brooke to take her opportunity with the fashion show because it might be her only chance at success.
Still doubtful, Brooke goes to the fashion walk hall where a staff member tells Brooke that the show could jump start her career. However, Brooke decides that she still wants to do high school things like cheerleading and quits.
Nathan returns to the hotel room to find Haley in the bath. He jumps in the bath as they kiss happily. Meanwhile, Rachel walks Peyton to her room who drunkenly sings a song that reminds her of loving Lucas, but pretends she meant to say Jake's name. Rachel drops Peyton off at the room, where she is surprised to see Lucas. He notes she is not managing her grief well. Peyton asks if everything is going to be all right, which Lucas assures it will be.
Peyton goes to the competition seriously hung over
The following morning, Peyton wakes up seriously hung over next to Lucas, who tells her about how he took care of her all the night, and then goes back to sleep, with Lucas telling her he will wake up her in time for the competition. As Lucas finishes getting dressed Brooke walks in. She sees Peyton in bed and assumes Peyton and Lucas slept together, so she storms off yelling as always and Lucas follows her, then the two end up having another argument because of his increasingly close relationship with Peyton and Brooke being insane jealous of her. At the cheerleading competition, Peyton scolds Rachel for getting her drunk and knowingly leaving her in Lucas' room. Brooke interrupts their argument to surprise them but Rachel protests that she can't be in the cheer. However, the rest of the team is happy to have Brooke back and welcome her. Peyton goes to sit outside and finds a photo of Ellie and her as a baby in Ellie’s jacket. Lucas joins her and tells her not to live her life alone and she should let people in, unlike what Ellie did.
Brooke and Peyton break into spontaneous dancing as their cheer goes wrong
At the cheerleading competition, the girls get prepared to go on and as Rachel stresses to win, Brooke tells them to have fun. They go on stage as the boys cheer them on. The routine begins successfully but Bevin bumps into Peyton, causing the whole routine to be thrown off The girls are all mortified and disappointed they have lost their chance to win but Brooke takes center stage and begins doing the robot. Haley and Peyton join her goofy dancing and eventually the rest of the team does too, with the exception Rachel who storms off. The Ravens, who are watching in the crowd, also join in. Skills also joins in whilst telling Lucas that he pretended that he couldn’t swim to get Bevin to sleep with him. In New York, Solaris is scolded for her drug use and finds out Brooke has pulled out of the fashion show. She smiles, knowing that Brooke is enjoying being a kid. Back at the competition, Keith assures Karen if all his days are like this, he will die a happy man. Karen asks him to marry her. Keith protests that he was going to propose and they kiss. The rest of the cheerleaders in the competition also storm the stage and join in the dancing.
