What a disappointment. You’d think the return of Lukas would be an epic hour that would satisfy long-term fans. Instead, it was boring and unexciting. Why would they bring back Chad Michael Murray and not even let him interact with Sophia Bush or the rest of the cast? I get that Lukas & Haley are close, but even their airport heart to heart wasn’t that satisfying. And don’t even get me started on Nathan’s cringe-worthy kidnapping with the evil cop twist. The writers must be on something.
I thought Brooke’s speech was interesting and unexpected but I’m not sure how they’re going to explain Xavier’s release after that aggressive speech. It’s the only intriguing storyline nonetheless.
Finally, the less said about useless Chase and the rest of the cast the better. I really expected so much more after the hope that this show restored recently. Too bad.
