I may have been one of the last people in my friend group to start the Netflix series One Tree Hill, but I don't regret any of the moments I stayed up just a little too late to watch just one more episode. So here are a couple of moments we shared with the characters and our hearts broke just a little bit more.. but we just couldn't stop watching.
1. The whole entire shooting episode.
From when the first shot was fired to when Dan killed Keith, I know all of us OTH fans were sitting on the edge of our seats holding our breaths.
2. When Karen found out that she was pregnant.
We were all rooting for Kieth and Karen but now Keith is gone and Karen is carrying his baby.
3. When Haley kissed Chris Keller and THEN went on tour with him and Nathan was heart broken.
We hated Chris Keller for talking in third person and for playing with Haley's feelings but we also kind of liked him.
4. When the opening scene of season 5 appears and Nathan is bearded and in a wheelchair.
This had to of been OTH's bigges 'WTF' moment.
5. When psycho Nanny Carrie kidnapped Jamie.
From the moment that she started to flirt with Nathan I knew she was no good.
6. When Brooke got attacked in her own store.
I truly thought this was the work of her mother. I mean she was Queen of Evil and she wanted to take over the store so bad. It had Mama Davis written all over it. But I'm kind of glad it wasn't her, I ended up loving her towards the end.
7. When the same guy to attacked Brooke also shot Quentin Fields.
He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. RIP Quentin.
8. When Peyton started bleeding after the wedding
I think I cried during this whole episode.
9. When Katie shot both Clay and Quinn
And when they woke up in the morning we were all convinced it was all just a dream until they both started to bleed. And Haley walked in on the scene and they both happened to still be alive. So we waited about 3 episodes for Clay to wake up.
10. When Brooke and Jamie get trapped in the car and we all thought Brooke was going to die.
Brooke was not allowed to die in that scene. Not after everything she had gone through in her life.
11. When Haley's mom passes away.
All of the bad things happen to the best people!
12. When Julian was go excited to have a client that he forgot his child in the car.
This episode broke my heart. He was such a good dad and I'm still confused how that happened.
13. When Nathan was kidnapped.
But also, what was the mafia doing in Tree Hill, North Carolina?
14. When Keith forgave Dan and came to take him from earth.
After all of the terrible things that happened between the two, Keith comes for Dan and forgives him. That's what big brothers are for right?
15. And finally, the ending scene.
They totally could have made one more season. So many questions were left unanswered. When did Millie get pregnant? What does Jamie grow up to look like? Do Clay and Quinn end up having a child of their own? Is Skillz finally back with Bevin? These are important questions.
But like all great things it had to come to an end. It was a show that connects with its audience and although it was a roller coaster of ups and downs it was everything that makes a T.V show great. Thank you Mark Schwann and all of the actors and actresses for making it the show that people still watch 4 years after its season finale.
