Episode 5 Ch.5 The Great Unknown
Nathan pulls away from Ava. "I can't do this."
"What?"
"I'm married."
"But not happily." Ava informed him.
"I'm gonna change that."
"Nathan…"
"I think you should leave if you are only here for me, but if you are here to get to know your other family then you should stay. That is completely up to you. Now I have to go."
Ava couldn't believe it. She thought she had Nathan right where she wanted him. She had only come to Tree Hill because she saw Nathan on TV and realized that they were family, and she looked like his dead wife. It was the perfect plan all she had to do was get rid of his wife and she would never have to worry about anything ever again. Her plan had failed.

Brooke pulls away from her kiss with Julian. "No…"
"Brooke I know we have a connection."
"I can't do this Julian. I'm married." She had tears in her eyes.
"But he's never around."
"That doesn't concern you Julian. You are a great man, but you can only ever be my friend…You can't be anything else to me…Only my husband can do that." Brooke has tears in her eyes. "Yes we are lost and confused, but I will always love him, and I want my marriage to work. We have kids to think about and once upon a time ago we built something really great together. I should...you should go...I've got to find my husband."

Lily and Spencer are just staring at each other. "I'm here so what did you want."
"I want you to look me in the eye and tell me that Aidan is the man of your dreams and that you can't imagine your life without him. I want you to tell me that you are happy and that being with him is what you want."
Lily looks down. "I'm happy."
He touches her chin and pulls her head up so that their eyes meet. "Look me in the eye."
"Aidan is the perfect man. He has always loved me Spencer. And I know that I told you that we could be together if I was in Tree Hill and things were different, but I love Aidan. He makes me happy and he is the one for me."
Spencer closes his eyes and then opens them to look at her. "Then there's my answer. All I have ever wanted is for you to be happy, and if he makes you happy then there is nothing left for me to say."
"I…I should um probably go. Aidan is waiting for me."
"Yeah…just promise me that you'll always try to be happy."
"I will…you have to promise me the same thing."
"I'll never be happy without you." Spencer gave her a kiss on the cheek and then walked out of the boat house.
Lily kept telling herself that she was happy with Aidan and that was all that mattered.

Daniel and Isabella are lying in bed together. He strokes her hair. "I've missed you so much."
"This shouldn't have happened."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm dating someone else now."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know."
"Do you love him?"
Isabella nodded. "He's been really good to me and…"
"And nothing Isabella…You know I thought you were with someone else, but when you didn't say anything I thought that we could be together."
"I'm sorry."
Daniel shakes his head. "You are not the same girl that I fell in love with. You are not the same girl that saved me. And you know what I'm not the same guy that you saved. You made me a better person but somewhere along the way you lost yourself." Daniel stood up from the bed. "I'm gonna take a shower. I'm guessing you will be gone when I get out."

Summer, Chase, and Drew sit down to dinner. They are all laughing like a big happy family.
Jeremy watches on from the window and realizes that Summer and Drew don't need him. They already have everything they ever needed.

Lucas and Peyton are sitting on the couch together. "You know we have a beautiful house, but I am so sick of it."
Peyton laughs, "I know but the doctor said that you aren't ready for that much freedom."
"I know, but I just need a change of scenery."
"Well now you will get to spend sometime with your granddaughter."
Lucas smiled, "I can't believe that we are grandparents. It is a wonderful feeling."
"Yeah…I look at Elizabeth and she is just so happy, and I thank God for that everyday because I worried about her so much."
"I know. I did too, but Elizabeth is stronger than all of us. She's a good kid."
"She's a young woman now." Peyton and Lucas smiled. Their little girl was all grown up.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Elizabeth and Noah admire Emma. Noah kisses her. "Thank you for letting me be apart of this. I promise to be a good father to her."
"I know. That's why I'm letting you be apart of it." They continue to stare at their baby. "I can always count on you and so can Emma."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Aidan is still waiting on Lily. She walks in. "Hey I thought maybe you would just go back to Lucas' and Peyton's."
"I thought about it, but I need to tell you something."
"Okay…what's wrong?"
"I love you."
He smiled, "I know that silly. I love you too."
"But I need to tell you something that I don't think you're going to like."
Aidan just stared at her. She seemed really upset.
"You remember that when we were in Tennessee we broke up for a while."
"Yeah I regret that decision. I was so stupid."
"Yeah well Spencer came to see me right after it happened, and I slept with him."
Lily can tell that Aidan is hurt by this new piece of news. "I'm sorry. I know I should have told you, but we were broken up. I know you probably hate me…"
"We were broken up."
"Huh?"
"You slept with him while we were broken up. That has nothing to do with our relationship now. We have a good relationship, and we are strong together."
"Yeah…"
"I love you Lily, and I'm not going to be mad about something that you did while we weren't together."
"Okay…"
"And I still want to marry you Lily Scott."
"I want to marry you too. I just wanted you to know the truth."
"I'm glad you told me. But that is all in the past and all I care about now is our future together." He kissed her. Lily couldn't believe that he wasn't mad at her. He should be mad, but he wasn't. That's what was so good about Aidan. He was just a good guy.

Brooke walks into her house to see Nathan waiting on her. "What are you doing here?"
"I live here."
"I know. I just you are usually out or asleep when I get home."
"Yeah well we need to talk."
"Okay…" Brooke walked closer to him. "We've been needing to do that for a long time now."
"I've made a lot of mistakes Brooke."
"We both have Nathan."
"I kissed Ava."
"Oh…" Brooke was about to tell him that she kissed Julian but he interrupted her.
"But it didn't go any farther than that and it was only one time."
"Why didn't go any farther? Do you have feelings for her? I mean she does look like the woman that you loved for so many years."
"She may look like Haley, Brooke, but I didn't let get any farther than that because she's not you. Yes I loved Haley with all of my heart, but you are the woman for me now, and Ava could never add up to you no matter how much she looked like Haley."
He wipes tears away from Brooke's eyes. "I haven't been a very good husband or father lately, but that is going to change. I love you and I love this family, and I'm choosing you. I want to make things better between us. If that is what you want."
Brooke nodded her head. "I've made mistakes too, Nathan. I kissed Julian, but I couldn't do anything else with him because he wasn't you. He made me feel good again, but he wasn't you."
"I'm so sorry…I should have never let any of this happen to us. I should have been a better man."
"This is a start…we can start over…"
He kissed Brooke for the first time in months. The touch of his lips against hers felt wonderful and perfect in everyway. They had a lot to work on but this was a step back to normal for them. He just held her in his arms for as long as he possibly could.
