Background Info

Brooke kept in touch with Lucas while she was away for the summer and when she came back from California; she started by taking it slow.She and Lucashave been dating ever since. She is still living at Lucas's house…in Karen's room after she left for New Zealand. She was able to forgive Lucas and open up her heart again…she found what she really wants. Peyton was right, she has found love and wouldn't trade or regret it for anything.

Jake went to the court hearing after he got out of jail and the judge ruled him custody of Jenny, because when Nicki didn't show up, it proved her irresponsible. Since then, the police have tracked her down, and placed a restraining order so that she would stay away from Jake and Jenny. They are living with Peyton at her house again and, together, they couldn't be happier. Elizabeth, who showed up at Peyton's doorstep and claimed to be her mom, turned out to be her birth mother. Her "mom", who died in a car crash, was her dad's second marriage, Peyton's step-mom. When Peyton was born, Elizabeth left and only now, has she ever come back. Since meeting each other, Peyton and Elizabeth have kept in touch and having a mother figure around to talk to when things get rough has been helpful.

When Haley arrived at Nathan's doorstep in the season 2 finale, they went for a walk together along the pier to talk…about following their dreams…. and following their heart. Haley went back and finished the last leg of her tour (another 2 weeks) and then returned to where she belongs… Tree Hill. She re-decorated her and Nathan's apartment and started working at he café again…with Brooke, who also picked up her job there when she came back after the summer. Nathan went to High Flyers and then, also, came back to his home…with Haley. They still have their problems, but have forgiven each other and are willing to do whatever it takes to work things out. The scouts from High Flyers are trying to talk Nathan into going to College in L.A. so that he can eventually play for the Lakers. Haley's manager is willing to set her up with a record deal, also in L.A., if she records a demo at home. With the help and encouragement of Nathan, she has already started composing…everything is falling into place.

Karen moved to New Zealand with Andy, Dan is dead, and Deb is running Karen's Café. She is slowing learning how to finally be happy again.
