So, I actually LOVE that Nathan told Haley not to come home. He has spent ages being absolutely broken hearted over her leaving and just wishing that she would come back to him and choose him and just wanting her back, and here he is in the Hospital after trying to kill himself and he's telling her NOT to come back. He's not using this as a way to get her back, he's not trying to make her feel guilty about it. He's telling her to keep following her dream. He just tried to kill himself, and a big part of that was because she left him. He basically had her back. But he realised that no, she needs to continue with her music and he needs to work on basketball. He realised that he doesn't want them to resent each other because they gave up their dreams for each other. I also love the scenes in the Hospital with everyone. First when he woke up to Lucas. I love that Lucas was there and I wonder how long he'd been in the room. Probably a while. Tbh, I somehow doubt he left the room at all since he was allowed in... (Plus, it parallels Lucas waking up after his car crash in S1 to Nathan sitting in the chair next to him...) Then Lucas calling him little brother and being assuring and just being there for him and calming him down. And I LOVE that when Nathan told him about his dream with Dan choosing Karen over Deb and all, there was NO judgement from Lucas. He knows he had the better deal when it came to Dan, and he understands why Nathan would wish Dan had just ditched him. And then Lucas trying to start the conversation about what happened when Nathan crashed. I love that it was almost the first thing he asked, he didn't try to avoid talking about it, he knew it was important to ask and he did. Unfortunately, he didn't really get an answer because Deb walked in... And I loved Nathan's talk with Deb too. She's messed up with him a lot, and hurt him a lot. But she's also been put through a lot by Dan and Nathan recognises that and he does still love her. She needs to work on herself, and there is still hope for their relationship. And then Lucas, Brooke and Peyton all staying in the room until visiting hours were over! I LOVE that! I love the friendships between all the main characters. But all three of them just being there for Nathan is just so sweet and I love it. And then Karen trying to reach Keith. And the fact that both Karen and Whitey were also at the Hospital, even if they weren't in the room. And Karen getting to break down to Whitey about Keith was sweet and so sad...

But honestly, what would've been best for EVERYONE is if Dan had just abandoned all of them. Decided he didn't wanna be married to either Karen or Deb, didn't wanna father either Lucas or Nathan. And he just left. Then Keith found out about Deb and tracked her down, introduced her and Karen and the three of them just raised Lucas and Nathan together. With no Dan. Both boys could've had a good upbringing and grown up together. Karen and Deb could've not only been away from Dan, but also had someone who understood them from the start. And everyone could've been happy. Also, I would totally watch a show about that...

I also liked that he told her not to come. Obv she was going to come home after the accident, but Nathan telling her not to, basically forced her to make the decision for herself. I know everyone wants her to come back and is mad that she's not, but it really does have to be her decision. She left because she didn't know what she wanted and felt she needed space from him to figure that out. On some level, she feels like they were too young (imo, they were!) and made a mistake getting married. Her coming back now would have been out of obligation and most likely she would stay. She needs to get there on her own.
