Plot summary

Lucas tells Nathan that he wants to get to know Dan and spend time together. He notices Dan is quick to have mood swings but Dan offers Lucas a drive in his new sports car and Lucas accepts. Haley and Nathan struggle with money when Haley wants Nathan to buy a car to get to work, but instead he buys her a piano. Karen starts college and her new teacher, Andy, likes her ideas and singles her out. Karen and Deb decide to start a bar. Brooke mistakes her new neighbor, Felix, for a pool boy with no English.

Felix later challenges Lucas to a car race while the latter is driving the new car with Dan. Brooke learns that her family is broke. Peyton wants to start a club for her under-21 friends and the manager for a popular band invites her to snort speed (or coke) to 'seal the deal'. Nathan and Keith work on fixing a car together. Karen asks Peyton to run an all ages night (primarily for under-21s) at her new bar and club. Andy approaches Karen outside class and flirts with her.

Felix saves Brooke from arrest while shop-lifting and they flirt as Felix predicted ('we fight, we flirt') with Brooke possibly warming up to him. Dan offers the car to Lucas but Lucas refuses as he sees it as being bought. This episode is named after a song by The Rolling Stones.
