Plot summary

It's the state championship and Whitey's final game. Lucas tells Skills that Nathan will throw it so they need to keep the ball to themselves. Lucas does not take his meds. Karen is driving Deb to the game but when she sees she's taken pills and passed out, she drives her to a rehab clinic. Haley has abdominal pain and is taken to the hospital where she discovers she is ok and the baby is a boy. At half-time Nathan asks Haley whether it would be 'enough' if this was his last game.

She says yes, so long as he is a good husband and father. Nathan goes on court and plays to win. Afterwards everyone celebrates and Brooke asks Lucas who he would want by his side as his dreams come true. He finally realizes it is Peyton and he and Brooke split amicably. After hugging, Peyton tells Lucas she'll be seeing him, just like he told her in the Pilot, prompting him to confess her she is the one for him, then the two share a long-awaited kiss in the middle of the court, getting together officially.

Back in Tree Hill, Nathan walks into the road with Haley, and Daunte's car dives towards them. Haley shoves Nathan out of the way and is hit. Nathan runs to the car which has crashed and drags out an unconscious Daunte. He punches him, but Dan intervenes, finding him dead, and sends him away and punches his own fist into the road to cover for his son. Lucas collapses - he has suffered a heart attack. This episode is named after a song by La Rocca.
