My God, this episode was SO well written. SO well acted. Jimmy Edwards broke me. He hurt me in my soul and shattered me. I felt his pain so much to the point that even now, on my 4th rewatch of this episode, I'm sobbing so much. Every scene he was in, I could relate to his pain and loneliness. I think most of us can empathize with Jimmy. We've all been in that dark place. I've never had the urge to get a gun but depression was a real thing. Started when I was 12 and hasn't gone away. The actor portrayed his pain so well. Did he get an Oscar for this episode? He should have gotten an Oscar. I think we definitely should feel empathy for Jimmy and sympathise with him. He wasn't a psycho. He was an extremely bullied kid who just wanted it all to stop. God, I'm too sad about him. This episode just broke my heart and that ending always just pissed me off. Fish you, Dan (not a typo)!!

2021-11-29 21:20:33 +0000 UTCLove this episode so much. I've seen so many people dismiss this show and comparing it with crappy teen dramas that came before and after, and I would say even if you put entire shows's worth of moments against this episode alone, One Tree Hill would still come up on top. Anyone who doesn't feel for Jimmy doesn't have a heart IMHO. You could look at it from any point you want (detached, calculated, etc), if Jimmy doesn't make you cry (at least with the end speech) you don't have a heart. I cannot explain how perfect this episode seems to me. The music subtle cues, the acting (especially Jimmy and Mouth), the directing, everything was perfect. Jimmy was so lost this episode, and no one should compare this episode to any school shootings (if there is a lesson to be learned that would be to treat people with respect, don't be a dick, depression is a dark and deep disease and realise that violence is never the answer).

2021-08-02 01:15:58 +0000 UTCSo a few things, this is probably one of if not the best episode of the show. It is executed to perfection, from its theme, story ideas, pacing, direction, and acting. Looking back on it, there are parts that come off as a bit preachy but its such a raw episode that deals with a hard subject. I feel bad as well for Jimmy. Hardcore bullying wasn't really in my school too much but social ostracizing and behind their back comments were really popular. To see someone lose their way and regret it all was so believable. And while it doesn't match the villainous nature of school shootings that we know, it does pose a question if some school shootings or attacks are really someone's one bad day. All I will say is that this is Dan's lowest point. And he's still an important character going forward. He has a long way to go and it will be interesting to see what you think about his role in the show in later episodes and seasons. In a way, this was Dan's one bad day too. But the show will go into that.

2021-07-31 01:31:40 +0000 UTCOh, Sofie, I held my breath during this entire reaction. I almost screamed in your last reaction when you mentioned that you fear that something like a school shooting would happen and that Jimmy might commit suicide. And your bad feeling that Dan would try to do something to Keith. All your very smart intuitions heartbreakingly happened this episode. You said a lot of what I have been thinking. I struggled with how much Jimmy was humanized in this episode as a school shooter, but I think, regardless, it was written well, acted well, and directed well. From the very first second of the episode, I knew that something was off and that this day would change Tree Hill forever. I think everything that needs to be said has been said about the tutor center scenes. I want to touch on the Lucas + Peyton scenes. This season for me has been about Lucas and Peyton reconnecting with one another and learning to lean on each other in their toughest moments. Their scenes in this episode highlight all of that. Lucas is always saving Peyton. He has to. It's simply his nature. Peyton saying that he loves him, just in case she doesn't make it out of there - truly heartbreaking. Then, there's the kiss. I refuse to be upset by it. I refuse to criticize it. I simply see it as a beautiful moment, a moment of true love between two friends in the most dire of situations. Finally, FUCK DAN SCOTT. Like, I am absolutely serious. I have always hated him, but at least I could still find his character fun throughout these three seasons. I don't care if he thinks Keith tried to kill him. The fact that he would enter a school where a kid JUST killed himself, fully knowing that the son he chose to care about was still in the school, and murder his brother in cold blood? That's absolute insanity. To take advantage of this awful tragic day, to take away another life? I knew he was a paranoid psychopath but I did not know that he had this much HATE, this much VITRIOL in him that despite everything that happened that day, he would choose to do that? Just absolutely disgusting. Keith's face when Dan holds up the gun to him says so much.

2021-07-30 15:52:07 +0000 UTCOh, this episode is so heartbreaking but so good. The structure was so so good. From the very first scene, the first bullet gets shot, setting up for the entire episode. With each character being separated, the suspense is built. Nothing feels forced. The fact that Nathan went in for Haley and Lucas went in for Nathan, and then Peyton makes total sense. Then the final few minutes, the second bullet gets shot, killing Jimmy and wrapping up the storyline for the episode, giving impact to everything that happened. Lastly, the third bullet gets shot setting up for the rest of the show. This episode will leave an impact on this show forever, but that last bullet especially. Haley's character is so underrated in this episode, the way she tries to truly talk to Jimmy and understand him, also her subtle gestures to try and block Jimmy from doing anything to Nathan (Like when she holds her hand over his chest) Bethany's acting is killer again for me in this episode. I Also LOVE Brooke in this episode. Telling that horrible woman about herself (there was a deleted scene of her giving a speech to the woman but I like that they cut it because at this moment I don't think Brooke would have the energy for that) Her also lying to Glenda's mum to pretend she knows Glenda, just so she won't look bad to her mother then being so filled with guilt because of it. Shows so much maturity and love in her character. I don't even want to go into Jimmy's character because he utterly BREAKS ME this episode. I feel so so bad for him, all he ever wanted was to be liked and have friends. Yes, he is also partly to blame for not keeping in touch but I feel like we've all been in a situation where we feel like our friends are pulling away but we don't say anything because of the fear of rejection. Especially since Mouth was gaining more friends it may have looked from Jimmy's perspective that mouth was moving on. The kid just kept being dealt raw deals in life, like with the bullying, his terrible father, the time capsule, and there is no excuse or justification for what he did but there definitely is an explanation, whether you understand it and forgive him for it is up to you. And I'm one of the people who forgive him. Also considering he showed numerous times throughout the episode how scared he was, the fact that he was constantly pointing the gun just proves that. Overall I love this episode, it's the best in the series for me, and there's so much to talk about but you pretty much said it all. It was so well directed and written. There has never been a school shooting episode done almost perfectly in my opinion, and if any new teen dramas decide to do one then I hope that they use this as a blueprint.

2021-07-30 12:47:48 +0000 UTCThere's so much to say about this episode! I'll start with the obvious... FUCK YOU DAN! Ugh, you can see that heartbreak in Keith's eyes as he watches Dan point the gun at him. That realisation of how bad his relationship with his brother has gotten, the realisation that he's not making it out of here... Dan is an awful human being and I hate him! I agree that he's irredeemable. I feel awful for Jimmy though. He was clearly not okay, and he clearly needed proper help. I think it's really good that they made us feel sympathy for him too. It shows us what bullying does to people, and it showed us with a character that was clearly just hurting a lot, not a psychopath or anything. And Mouth. God, I feel HORRIBLE for him! He didn't mean to drift away from Jimmy, he was his best friend but life got in the way. And learning that he'd attempted suicide before and he hadn't even known. He's gonna be feeling that guilt for the rest of his life. It's NOT his fault. Like Rachel said, Mouth shouldn't feel guilty for living his life. But of course he's going to. He was his best friend. And now he's dead. Something else I think about often is Nathan's part in all of it. We know that before he and Haley got together, he was not a nice guy. Yes, we understand why and we sympathise with him, and he's changed, but before that he WAS a bully. So that moment where Jimmy's asking whether any of them have ever treated anyone like crap and all that, it must've hit him so hard! Like, it's possible he did something to Jimmy in the past. In fact, it's pretty likely. Something else I think about with him is the text. It was him sending that text to Dan that set Jimmy off into the hallway saying that the next person to walk through the doors would die, then suddenly he's gone and there's a gunshot. Now, we know that was him killing himself. But they heard two gunshots, they don't know Dan came in and picked up the gun after Jimmy already used it. So imagine the guilt he must feel about sending that text and thinking that's the reason Keith is dead. It breaks my heart. Lucas and Peyton. Yeah, I really can't blame them either. Should they have kissed? No, he's in a relationship with Brooke. BUT, they both were scared and thought Peyton was gonna die and emotions were running high and so she kissed him. It was more a "Goodbye" kiss than anything. And Brooke. I feel so bad for her too! She, like Nathan, wasn't the nicest person before and so it must've really effected her too. Her being so upset she didn't know Glenda was so sad. Like you said, not everyone knows everyone. And to have an ADULT tell her she should be ashamed for not being friends with someone. That's so messed up. That reporter really should be ashamed.

2021-07-30 07:54:28 +0000 UTCMy heart still aches for Jimmy Edwards even after all this time 😣 This episode was executed perfectly, it felt so real and authentic which led to anxiety for 43 minutes. From Nathan running in to save Haley , Lucas running after Nathan and saving Peyton , then Brooke , this episode had me on edge. This is really where One Tree Hill gets on another level with real life events and is to this day one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. Dan killing Keith at the end was like a sucker punch to the gut to say the least. The tissues were well needed for this reaction Sofie and do keep them handy from now on. Looking forward to you reacting to the rest of the season ❤️
