Michael Grubbs

Nathan tries to help Haley and Jamie confront Lydia's (recurring guest star BESS ARMSTRONG - My So-Called Life, Boston Legal) seemingly hopeless situation, while Brooke and Julian navigate their volatile relationship in the midst of a hectic movie shoot. Meanwhile, Clay and Quinn spend some time apart, and Miranda (recurring guest star INDIA DE BEAUFORT) tries to prove to Grubbs (recurring guest star MICHAEL GRUBBS - of the band Wakey!Wakey!) that she's the right person to produce his album. The episode was directed by series star Bethany Joy Galeotti.

In an episode dedicated to the memory of the late writer/director John Hughes, chaos surrounds an '80s-themed alumni dance at the high school - Haley's birthday is forgotten, Jamie is left home alone and Nathan and Clay are stranded 200 miles from Tree Hill. Meanwhile, Brooke's appearance at the dance with Alexander (recurring guest star MITCH RYAN) forces Julian to relive his dorky adolescence.
