The official write-up for the March 21 episode of One Tree Hill seems to heavily imply that Dan will be the character to die… does anyone else get that impression from reading this? The description definitely sounds like a swan song to me.
Here are the new spoilers straight from The CW:
DAN RISKS EVERYTHING FOR NATHAN — The search for Nathan (James Lafferty) becomes increasingly dangerous, and Dan’s (Paul Johansson) life hangs in the balance. Brooke (Sophia Bush) is surprised when her father (guest star Richard Burgi) returns. And Clay (Robert Buckley) and Quinn (Shantel VanSanten) reconnect with Logan (guest star Pierce Gagnon). Austin Nichols also stars. The episode was written by Mike Herro & David Strauss and directed by Joe Davola (#911).

This was a great episode. And I have to say, this season is a definite turn around from last season. It’s a great rap-up to the entire series. I’m so happy that I stuck around for the ending. It’s really worth it. And although I love Keith and know his death will never be justifiable, I also think Dan has come a LONG way!!!!
P.S I loved the way they brought back old sayings and things from previous one tree hill seasons. Things like:
-“always and forever”- haven’t heard that from Naley in awhile
-the Rivercourt in general- that is where everything started
-unkindness of a raven- excited to see what they’re doing with this
-the part where Haley says “when Lydia grows up and asks about her Grandpa Dan, i’m gonna tell her how…..” which was originally a hate saying by Karen to Dan about Lily not growing up with a father. Love the switch
-and there are more I just cant think of them right now!
Some great and touching scenes:
1. Of course Naley reuniting
2. The whole ending scene with Dan and Nate
3. The whole Dan and Keith scene
4. Dan and Deb scene
5. And one scene I boo-hooed on was the scene where Brooke and Julian were talking about how her dad doesn’t love her. For some reason that scene was really touching. I really felt the emotion from Brooke and the wisdom from Julian.
6. And my last and favorite scene of this episode was the Haley and Dan scene. Just the fact of her bringing up Lucas was very realistic, because we all know Lucas is never gonna forgive Dan. And it was just an all around unexpected scene. Haley’s relationship with Dan has been so complex and I think she’s finally come to terms on how she wants to perceive Dan. When they showed her crying during his death, that actually touched me the most because I was just imagining the things that were going through her head.
OVERALL GREAT EPISODE! sad to see one tree hill go (and Dan), but I’m glad they’re going out with a BANG!
also, this was a nice tribute to Paul Johansson’s (Dan) mom who died from cancer recently. This is a really good time and a great opportunity for people to get involved in Relay for Life and support cancer patients!
