OTH: All These Things That I've Done

Another cracking episode of One Tree Hill, the seventh in season 4, which sees a lot of action in a short space of time.
Peyton is still freaking out about her stalker and can't even fathom going to school. Her half-brother Derek tries to toughen her up and has a go at Lucas for `babying' her.
Rachel is up to her delicious tricks and outs Brooke's affair with her teacher to the principal.
Haley tries her hand at babysitting and Deb gets arrested for trying to buy several prescription drugs with a forged script.
Mouth, easily one of the best characters, prepares for his date with the surprisingly appealing Gigi and then is faced with a dilemma when invited out for a date with a model.
The centre of the episode, though, is Nathan's involvement in a gambling scam designed to eliminate his debt to a rather unsavoury acquaintance. Nathan asks Lucas (pictured) to do the unthinkable and help him rig the game, which he reluctantly does but vows `never again'.
The season 4 finale airs this week, I'm still a way off that and it's really hard not to look ahead out of turn. But knowing a full 22 episodes of season 5 have been ordered helps ease the urge to rush.
The networks (and a heck of a lot of people who watched shows like The O.C) don't know what they are missing.
