Brooke tells her that it is her store and her clothes so she can do what she wants and she is having a sale, everything is free. Peyton asks if she wants to talk about it as Haley told her about her and her mother having problems. Brooke turns around and angrily tells her that she does not want to talk about it.

She tells him she has a new plan as now Jamie will come to her as Grandpa Dan’s dying and his last wish is to see his grandson.

Brooke tells her that Victoria wants the line so badly that she can have it. She tells Peyton that life is too short as Peyton goes to show her something. She shows her all the clothes she threw out that Peyton had to wrestle some women for. Brooke tells her she can keep them, but Peyton tells her that life is too short, to fight and be miserable. She tells her not to let the bitter ones ruin how awesome she is. In the school, Haley is sitting at her desk. She looks up and stops the class from working and tells the class that last lesson they asked what is the point in school, literature and everything else. She tells them it was a lie as she does not know yet. She tells them not long ago she sat in their seats wondering the same things. She tells them that she still wonders why awful things happen. Haley tells them to put away their work and get out a pen and paper. She tells them how important literature is and that one of the points is to show they were there. She tells them to write about Quentin Fields. She tells them that through their words they may find clarity or peace. She begins walking round the classroom as she sees someone has written ‘we miss you’ on Q’s desk. Haley asks who did it and a boy owns up. She takes their marker off them and signs the desk with a quote from ‘Les Miserables.’ She then asks the class to sign the desk and they all get up except Sam.

Brooke tells him she wishes she could do something for them today, but Nathan tells her that they were wondering if they could do anything for her.

Voice-over[]

“Quentin Fields was a basketball player. He was also a son. A brother. Somebody's teammate. Somebody's friend. I didn't know Quentin Fields and I guess now I never will. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you weren't you anymore? If you were suddenly gone, how would your world react? Whatever you imagined is wrong. There's nothing romantic about death. Grief is like the ocean. It's deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night.”
Sam Walker (opening voice-over)
“Quentin Fields was a basketball player. He was also a son. A brother. Somebody's teammate. And somebody's friend. I never knew Quentin Fields and I guess now I never will. Grief is like the ocean; it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night. Quiet. Persistent. Unfair. Diminished by time and fate and love. I didn't know Quentin Fields, but I'm jealous of him. Because I see how his absence has affected the people who did know him. So I know he mattered to them. And I know he was loved. People say that Quentin Fields was a great basketball player: graceful, fluid, inspiring. They say on a good night it almost seemed as though he could fly. And now he can.”
Sam Walker (closing voice-over)
