What's the drama: Lucas heads to Abby's house to talk to her about the shooting, but someone meets him at the door and tells him no one named Abby lives there. As Lucas walks away, he spots Abby in the window upstairs, peeking out at him.
When Coach Whitey arrives at school the next morning, he's met by a group of reporters who ask him about the allegations of point shaving and illegal activity and he adamantly defends his players as the best group of boys he's had in 35 years of coaching. They're not cheaters. They're champions. Meanwhile, Nathan admits the truth to his wife, and they discuss the possibility of him not having a future in basketball.
On the other side of town, Peyton can't even get through a shower without visions of Evil Derek haunting her.
What's up with Brooke: Chase approaches Brooke at school -- he wants to know if she's okay after the "whole stalking thing." She plays it cool, but later she tells Peyton that her heart's been ripped out. Brooke still has real feelings for Chase. Peyton admits that she "saw" Psycho Derek in the shower that morning. Brooke assures her that he's really locked up this time, but Peyton feels that she'll only rest easy after she sees him behind bars for herself.
What's up with Peyton: Peyton pays a visit to the pen to see her Psycho Stalker. He tells her that he knew she would come -- he's been in her head. She asked him to come into her life. She starts to doubt herself. But later when Peyton admits to Brooke that she feels that she let Derek "AKA, Ian" know her through her podcast and all, Brooke tells her they'll get to know him a little as well. They discover that Ian had a girlfriend in high school who died… and she looked exactly like Peyton.
What's up with Nathan: Nathan comes to Dan, asking for advice about how to handle the point shaving situation. Dan tells him what he thinks he should do -- which ends up being advice that he is currently taking in order to lay low about Keith's murder.
What's up with Lucas: Knowing he's found the home of Gina "Abby" Bavero, Lucas returns to the home where the woman told him otherwise. He waits for the woman to leave, and then he sneaks in. He finds Abby in one of the rooms and asks her if she remembers what she saw that day. He asks her if Jimmy Edwards killed Keith. She shakes her head, no. Just as Lucas thinks he is making headway, Abby's mother walks in and explains how much Abby has been traumatized by that day -- the day of the shooting. She then asks Abby if her name is Abby. The girl shakes her head no, just as she did when Lucas asked her the question about Keith. Lucas leaves the house, more confused than ever.
What's up with Haley: As if Lucas's evening hasn't been bad enough, he's greeted at his house by Haley who wants to know his opinion on the whole point shaving thing. Lucas explains that Nathan probably won't go to jail, but he probably won't go to Duke either.
What's up with Whitey: Lucas knocks on Whitey's door in the middle of the night to let him know that he missed the freethrows on purpose -- it was all him. He wants to let him know that he is responsible for it all before he hears it from the press conference he's holding the next day. Whitey is disgusted and tells Lucas that he only took a chance on him because of Keith. Later that night, Whitey watches the tape of the game and catches a look between Nathan and Keith that tells him the truth.
What's up with Dan: Dan decides that someone knows the real truth about him, and he decides to purchase a gun in order to protect himself from it. Meanwhile, Abby confronts her mother and tells her that she's tired of playing crazy and wants to go public with the truth. Her mother protests, and as Abby heads toward the door, she follows. Abby opens the door, and Dan is there.
How does it all wrap up? When Brooke and Peyton head to the prison and confront Ian about the "accident," his girlfriend was in on prom night, he comes clean. He caused the accident that resulted in her death. They tell him that she forgives him -- and they forgive him too. And they'll never see him again.
When Dan confronts Abby and her mother, Abby's mother tries to keep the secret going, but Abby tells Dan she knows the truth and hopes he burns in hell. He tells her he hopes he does too. And he leaves.
Abby heads to Lucas's house to tell him that she came back after Jimmy Edwards let her go. He asks her who killed her uncle, and she tells him it was his father, Dan Scott. He was there. He picked up the gun and he knows that she's right. He knows in his heart that Dan picked up the gun. Lucas pleads for her to tell someone and she tells him that she did; she told him.
Nathan decides that he'd rather come clean and lose everything he has worked for than to have Lucas take the fall for him. That day, Nathan tells Whitey that he lied to him and he's sorry. Whitey tells him he's sorry too -- more than he'll ever know. Nathan holds a press conference to tell the truth. Haley stands by his side.
On the other side of town, Brooke recreates Peyton's room for her in the new apartment. And Dan comes to tell Karen the truth. But instead, she thinks he's having some kind of revelation regarding his past, and she gives him a passionate kiss. At the same time, Lucas (who is ready to come tell his mother the shocking news he's just learned from Abby) sees the whole thing and decides to keep quiet.
