What's the drama: Rachel is loving her new status as a Clean Teen because she gets extra attention from the fellas when she wears her T-shirt. Brooke isn't too interested in her new club until she meets its newest member -- the hot virgin Chase. But she discovers that it's not so easy to talk to a hot virgin.
Dan has paid off Nathan and Haley's debt, but in order to remain debt-free, Nathan decides to get a job. But Skills has a better easy money plan. The local strip club is hosting amateur night and it's a thousand dollar prize for the winner. He wants to enter with Nathan, but the young Scott has no interest in taking off his clothes for a bunch of drooling women. And speaking of drooling women, Deb barges into Karen's Café and goes off when she sees Dan and Karen hanging out together. She can't believe a smart woman like Karen would spend time with the man who abandoned her and her son and furthermore, Keith would roll over in his grave if he knew his woman was spending time with a cad like Dan.
What's up with Brooke: Turns out that cheaters do prosper -- at least in Brooke's case. She scores an A on her calculus test by cheating, and when Hot Virgin sees her good grade he asks her to tutor him. Before she remembers that she has no math skills, she agrees. He tells her he'll cook her an amazing dinner in return.
What's up with Peyton: Peyton finally introduces Lucas to her mother and while she spends some time with her mother, Lucas visits Keith's grave. It's at that moment that bits of Lucas' coma dream begin to come back to him. He makes the sudden realization that Jimmy did not kill Keith.
What's up with Haley: Pregnant and on crutches, Haley isn't exactly looking forward to prom. And with their lousy financial situation, prom isn't really an option at the moment anyway.
What's up with Rachel: Rachel gets kicked out of Clean Teens for being a ho. But her problems run deeper than that. Tests are missing from the Tutor Center files. Principal Turner asks for a list of all the students who are currently being tutored. Whoever stole the tests will be expelled... or worse. And Haley has a feeling that Rachel is the guilty party.
What's up with Lucas: Lucas tells his mom about his dream, starring Keith. It seemed so real, and in it Keith was kneeling over Jimmy's dead body. He doesn't think that Jimmy killed Keith. She tells him that it was just a dream and advises him to just let it go and be happy.
What's up with Deb: Dan tells Deb that Karen was the love of his life but he was too proud to tell her. He never loved Deb; he settled for her. She tells her ex that she and Nathan are so much better off without him. Dan reminds her that Nathan cut her out of his life long before he did. A quick disastrous visit to Nathan and Haley's apartment reminds Deb that Dan was right. She's hit rock bottom.
What's up with Nathan: Turns out that there's not a lot of competition at amateur night. Nathan's ready to go, but Skills gets a bad case of stage fright. The show must go on -- so Mouth takes his place. After Bevin makes her way backstage, Skills has a change of heart and soon it's a threesome out on stage. And they're not too shabby. That was an easy grand.
What's up with Dan: Karen runs into Dan at Keith's grave and invites him to dinner at her place. He's on his way when he gets a call from Deb -- she wants him to take good care of Nathan. He realizes that she's OD'd. He takes care of her and gets her off to the hospital but still manages to make it to Karen's for dinner.
How does it all wrap up? Turns out that Case is more than just a hot virgin -- he's a really nice guy. On their study-session-turned-date, Brooke learns that they have a lot in common and he tells her that he wants to meet a nice girl who will be truthful with him -- someone he can trust. She realizes that this Chase guy is one of those really rare, good guys. At the end of the night they kiss... and that's all.
Meanwhile, Nathan takes his stripper winnings and buys his wife a maternity prom dress. Who knew they made those? Across town, Karen and Dan have dinner. She tells him that earlier that day Lucas told her something very unsettling…that he doesn't think that Jimmy Edwards killed Keith. When he hears that, Dan freezes in his tracks.
