Brooke (Sophia Bush) throws a beach party to celebrate the last summer before senior year. She still only wants to be non exclusive with Lucas (Chad Michael Murray), who pretends to go along with it. Nathan (James Lafferty) returns to town and still wants nothing to do with Lucas and won't talk to Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), who wants to be with him and is sad he won't talk to her. The fire at Scott Motors is ruled an accident.

Peyton (Hilarie Burton) learns from Ellie that she tried to visit her when she was ten and her father hid it from her. Peyton angrily confronts him about this but he swears it was for her own good. Ellie tells her father that her situation has changed.

Dan (Paul Johansson) has been having blips of memories return from the night of the fire and confronts Karen (Moira Kelly) about who could have tried to kill him, proposing Keith or Andy. Karen tells him to leave her alone and remarks that it's a shame that if someone wanted him dead, they failed.

Lucas spots Ellie in town seemingly making a drug deal. Haley talks to Nathan who didn't tell her he was back and refuses to speak to her, and she tells him he's changed. At the party, Peyton feels depressed as she feels bad for ignoring Ellie and Lucas ends up telling her he saw her making a drug deal, while Haley is sad as she hoped Nathan would show up and he doesn't. Lucas confronts Nathan and says he can hate him, but if he hurts Haley he will hurt him. This causes Nathan to showp up and tell Haley that he doesn't want to hurt her, but he's just not ready to figure out what they are now to each other yet. Lucas tells Brooke, who is messing around, he's the guy for her and one day she will realize it.

Peyton confronts Ellie about the drugs. Dan comes to the beach, and seeing Lucas by the bonfire triggers a memory from the night of the fire, in which he remembers Lucas in the dealership.
