Gawd, Emmanuelle Vaughier was hot tonight! Hope she sticks around a bit now that the writers dropped 2 bombshells on the viewers:

1. Nikki is the mother of Jake's child.
2. Deb had a fling a few summers ago

Now, using the show to push Sheryl Crow's Greatest hits album got a bit too thick towards the end.

Lucas is da man! Hitting it with Nikki on the first night! Of course, it's gonna get complicated if/when Lucas puts 2 and 2 together as far as Nikki and Jake are concerned.

Keith is an idiot for getting involved with Dan, and is going to pay a heavy price for signing that deal with Dan the devil.

Wow, I didn't see that ending coming with Nikki being the mother of Jake's kid. Lucas is the man for not only getting it on with Nikki on the first night but on a Merry Go Round.

Dan and Keith in business. Whoa. You never go into business with family. Duh!!!

I liked how Brook and Peyton are somewhat bonding again. It'll be interesting how the love triangle gets resolved. Hopefully, some couple ends up back together since I really like the banter between Brook and Lucas and Lucas and Peyton.

Nikki must like banging high school boys. Wonder how old the character is (and whether statutory rape is in effect...)

Patman, Lucas was in a bar that he knowlingy entered into knowing that he was under age, but all Nikki sees is a lone male sitting at the bar.

Nikki cant be touch (at least here in OR where 38 year old NYPD cops can bang HS juniors and be found not guilty) for her role in the 'act' in the mall.

Well, Nikki figured out Lucas was still in high school, plus her former boyfriend is also in high school. So how old is Nikki anyway?

That bartender didn't even ask either Peyton or Brooke for their IDs.

Brooke was great this episode. She is so damn easy to look at. I enjoyed when she kept giving Payton shit in the bar. That was pretty funny.

to Mrs. Lex Luthor making any appearance. She looked excellent. Interesting twist in regards to her and Jake.

Damn, I thought Deb had a coke problem or something a little more interesting than cheating on her douche-bag of a husband.

Keith is dumb.

Is Emmanuelle Vaugier making the rounds on the WB shows? Not that I mind, since she's as hot as hell !!!! Most will remember her on "Smallville" as "Dr. Helen Bryce" but she was also on "My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star" as "Sarah Nelson" and an episode of "Charmed" as "Dr. Ava Nicolae".

Good episode. Dan screwing his younger bro, that happens alot in real life.

She (Vaughier) was also in "Second Hand Lion" (DVD released last month).

And the guy who played Lindsey recently on Angel was the young Robert Duvall.

(Vaughier) was also in 40 Days and 40 Nights

I felt just the opposite. He is behaving like an ass. Hope he wore a condom while being with that skanky looking thing.
