Lucas voiceover: The truth can be extremely powerful. Most of the time it can be difficult to accept as it can evoke all kinds of emotions.
Peyton is seen walking down the road on her way to Brooke's.
Pain.
Brooke is seen sitting on the floor in her room drinking from the bottle of vodka in her hand.
Regret.
Dan is seen sitting at his office desk reading the text message Mouth sent him earlier, "I know what you did, MURDERER" visible on his screen. He deletes the message and looks at a picture of him and Keith in his wallet.
Anger.
Lucas is seen pulling up outside Dan's office in his car.
Love.
Nathan and Haley are seen lying together in bed asleep. Nathan's arm wrapped around Haley's waist.
It can tear people apart.
Lucas appears in Dan's doorway. He glances up to look at Lucas, surprise registering on his face.
"Lucas?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"
Or bring them closer together.
Peyton knocked on Rachel's front door. She waited for a moment but no one answered. Peyton tried the handle and found the door unlocked.
Peyton entered the house quietly and started to make her way slowly up the stairs, searching for Brooke's room. At the end of the corridor she noticed that a light was coming from beneath a closed door.
"Brooke?" Peyton called out as she headed towards the door. No one answered her.
Peyton placed her hand on the door handle and turned it, pushing the door open as she did.
Once inside the room she spotted Brooke sitting on the floor in between the beds. She ran over to her, kneeling down beside her closely. On the other side of Brooke, Peyton could see an open bottle of vodka.
Peyton closed her eyes and felt a tear slide down her cheek, When she opened them again she looked at Brooke.
Brooke looked up at her friend, tears lining her face. Peyton could see the pain behind her eyes and felt herself go numb inside.
The truth can be hard to hear, and even harder to share.
"I'm so scared Peyton." She sobbed.
Peyton leant forward and pulled Brooke close to her, hugging her tightly.
"I know," she said stroking the back of Brooke's head gently. "I know."
Brooke cried in Peyton's arms as she comforted her, tears also running down her face.
And you can try to hide the truth, but in the end, the truth will always come out.
"I know Jimmy Edwards didn't kill Keith." He said coldly.
Dan looked at him confused.
"Lucas, we talked about this." He started, but Lucas cut him off.
"I know he didn't kill Keith, Dan, because Jimmy Edwards wasn't a murderer."
Dan was still looking at Lucas and about to say something when he spoke again. When Lucas next spoke his voice was dead calm and flat.
"But you are." He said, "And I won't rest until you pay for it."
Lucas held Dan's gaze for a moment before turning around and walking back out of the door. Dan looked after him apprehension on his face.
