Always and Forever | A One Tree Hill Podcast

2.07: Let the Reigns Go Loose

In our episode on S2E7: Let the Reigns Go Loose, we discuss the opening night of Tric and all of the drama that ensues!

0.02: John Tucker Must Die (Patreon Clip)

Welcome to Baker Soundstage! In our very first episode, we analyze and dissect the heck out of John Tucker Must Die starring a lady you may be familiar with: Sophia Bush! In this movie, Sophia and three others (Brittany Snow, Ashanti, and Arielle Kebbel) seek revenge against serial cheater John Tucker (heart throb Jesse Metcalfe, whom we thirst over plenty in this episode) in a series of hilarious (and problematic) pranks! We unpack the reason why Kate (Snow) wants to help the girls seek revenge against John Tucker, Sophia basically playing a dumbed down season one Brooke Davis, Kate's complex relationship with her mom (Jenny McCarthy), our love for the "other Tucker" (Penn Badgley), John's character motivation (or lack thereof), several of the funniest scenes, and our different interpretations about the movie's ending. Jeremy even suggests a John Tucker Must Die TV series and Kaitlyn calls out the Lucas Scott/John Tucker equivalent moment!

2.08: Truth, Bitter Truth

In our episode on S2E8: Truth, Bitter Truth, we freak out about the girls’ slumber party (and even reminisce about our own slumber parties as kids!) and dissect the important conversation the girls have about the double standard. We also discuss Haley’s lie to Nathan, how this episode explores Lucas and Nathan as brothers, and Andy surprisingly giving Karen an A on her paper.

2.09: The Trick Is to Keep Breathing

In our episode on S2E9: The Trick Is to Keep Breathing, we unpack the Naley and Chris drama, Peyton’s downward spiral (and the fact that she desperately needs therapy), how shocked we are that Deb decides to stay with Dan, Lucas’ honesty with Anna, and why Brooke should be more mad at Felix than Mouth! We also discuss our love for the Brooke and Lucas beach scene where their friendship starts to develop. And Kaitlyn and Jeremy produce quite possibly one of the longest spoiler segments so far in Always and Forever history!

2.10: Don‘t Take Me for Granted

In our episode on S2E10: Don’t Take Me for Granted, we discuss The Scarlet Letter and its connection to the episode, Nathan and toxic masculinity, Karen as a scary momma bear, and the different scenes Lucas has with Brooke and Peyton. We also question Peyton’s LGBTQ allyship and how the storyline was handled in the show. And most importantly, we unpack ALL of the twists in THE FREAKING CODA, both in the regular episode and spoiler segment!

2.11: The Heart Brings You Back

In our episode on S2E11: The Heart Brings You Back, we unpack the heck out of a lot of things, including Hurricane Taylor’s arrival, Peyton and Jake’s growing chemistry, Lucas finding out about Jules’ secret, and Brooke setting a boundary with Felix (we are so proud!). Kaitlyn feels passionate about how unnecessary the Karen and Andy storyline is in this episode. Jeremy provides their perspective about Anna’s coming out experience and shares their own coming out journey as well. We also discuss queer representation in media and OTH’s attempts at diversity this season.
Correction: During the spoiler segment at 1:14:06, Jeremy refers to a certain plot point as happening in the season six finale. It actually occurs in the penultimate episode of season six.

2.12: Between Order and Randomness

In our episode on S2E12: Between Order and Randomness, we discuss Brooke’s job at Carl’s Crab Shack and real-life federal worker laws (courtesy of Jeremy’s research!), Anna and bisexual representation, Haley and Taylor’s connection as sisters, and the fact that Dan gaslights Lucas (and even us as the audience!) about Jules.

2.13: The Hero Dies In This One

In our episode on S2E13: The Hero Dies In This One, we cry a lot about Nathan and Haley but we don’t spend too much time in tears…because we are joined by Jess Koehler from the Alias rewatch podcast, A Simple Alias! We discuss Mouth and Brooke’s friendship and the many inconsistencies surrounding this plot line, Lucas’ hero complex and decision to move in with Dan, and we swoon over Michelle Branch! Jeremy even speculates why Haley left her Cracker Jack bracelet behind and not her wedding ring. And we of course grill Jess about whether she’s Team Brucas or Team Leyton (aka Team Jeremy or Team Kaitlyn)!

2.14: The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

In our episode on S2E14: The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows, we discuss Nathan’s character development and how we aren’t happy about the old Nathan returning, Brooke winning student body president, Dan’s ongoing scheme, and also The Call of the Wild reference in Kaitlyn’s Lit Crit segment! We also unpack the heck out of the JEYTON KISS! Kaitlyn shockingly loves it and Jeremy is shockingly unexcited about it?

2.15: Unopened Letter to the World

In our episode on S2E15: Unopened Letter to the World, we chat with Bree Leach from the Alias rewatch podcast, A Simple Alias, and find out that we have another Brucas shipper on our hands! We discuss Brooke’s layers and her new sense of independence, Lucas’ decision to move in with Dan, and how time has absolutely no meaning on One Tree Hill. We also delve into Anna’s reasons for rerecording her time capsule video and Mouth’s decision to watch Brooke’s video!
