.co.uk Review
-------------
The third season of the small town soap begins with the blaze
that ended the second ("Like You Like an Arsonist"). Dan (played
by Paul Johannson) makes it out alive, but vows to seek vengeance
on the perpetrator -- even if that person happens to be estranged
son Lucas (Chad Michael Murray). In the following episode ("From
the Edge of the Deep Green Sea"), Dan's preferred offspring
returns to Tree Hill. Will Nathan (James Lafferty) and his wife
Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) reconcile? It is her deepest desire,
but Nathan has his doubts. Further changes are afoot. Haley and
Brooke (Sophia Bush), for instance, move in together...which
wouldn't seem so strange if they were in college rather than high
school. Brooke and Lucas also try a "non-exclusive" arrangement
(her idea, not his). When sexy schemer Rachel (Danneel Harris)
joins the cheerleading squad, Brooke starts to regret her
decision. Meanwhile, the delightfully odious Dan runs for mayor.
Just when he thinks he's got it locked, Lucass mother, Karen
(Moira Kelly), throws her hat in the ring. But those developments
are minor compared to the school shooting in episode 16 ("With
Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept").
Guest stars include Nada Surf ("Return of the Future") and
season two favourites Fall Out Boy ("An Attempt to Tip the
Scales"), while recurring characters include Peyton's birth
mother Ellie (Sheryl Lee, who was Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks (
/gp/product/B000071IYQ/ )), and smug singer/songwriter Chris
(Tyler Hilton, who plays Elvis Presley in Walk The Line (
/gp/product/B000BPCV0Q/ )), with whom Haley collaborates again.
As in the previous year, the finale ("The Show Must Go On") is a
cliffhanger. Special features include commentary, deleted scenes,
and a featurette about the making of "With Tired Eyes."
