When the Wagoneer hit Lauren's S.U.V.,
where was it coming from, north or south?
It was coming from the south, heading north.
We got the wrong Kellerman.
It wasn't August.
It was Ian.
But he confessed.
You said Professor Kellerman came to the Rivercourt
and said that he did it.
He lied.
The bottle I found in the Wagoneer was Phidian's.
And then tonight at the bar,
Ian ordered shots of bourbon to toast Lydia.
Phidian's.
Said it's all he drinks.
All right. So, maybe it's a family thing.
It doesn't really prove anything.
There's more.
At the Rivercourt, when Kellerman confessed,
he said he was coming from a dinner that night in Raleigh.
So?
So, he was coming from the south.
Raleigh's north.
All right, well, look,
don't beat yourself up over it just yet.
I mean, you could still be wrong. Maybe.

Hey, handsome.
Hi.
I turned down the job. In New York? Why?
When I was living there and running Clothes Over Bros,
my office looked out on this building nearby,
and on the rooftop was a playground
where all the grade-school kids would have recess.
And some days when things were crazy --
which was most days --
I'd look out, and I'd watch those kids run around,
and I'd think, "that's no way to play."
I mean, I love New York,
but living in constant fear
of losing the kickball over the roof of your playground
is kind of a rough way to grow up.
So you turned down the job
because the schools have playgrounds on the roof?
I turned down the job because I don't want our child
to have a playground on the roof.
Unless it's the roof of my store here in Tree Hill.
Tree Hill... Okay, you're losing me.
Chase had to take a drug test,
but a guy in Kid Cudi's posse made him take a hit of a joint,
so he asked Alex to pee in a cup for him because she's sober.
Except Alex isn't really sober
because she accidentally ate some of Quinn's pot brownies,
so Alex came over to ask you,
because her and Chase are getting closer,
and she wanted to be the one to help him,
but you weren't home, so Alex asked me.
And the lab called Chase and said that he's pregnant.
What?
So Chase told Alex,
and Alex told me,
and I took a pregnancy test.
We're pregnant.
