As Halloween approaches in Tree Hill, Brooke and Julian get an unexpected visitor, and Nathan begins a new career. Meanwhile, Clay and Quinn struggle with life back at the beach house, and Haley and Mia host an open mic night at Tric.
Clay is released home from the hospital, but he is still physically unable to handle his clients. Nathan provides moral support and considers approaching those clients as a fellow locker-room insider. Even Super-Dad can't prevent Chuck Scolnick from vindictively scaring Jamie away from a "ghost house" on Halloween. Julian's domineering mother brings embarrassment for him at a costume party in Chase's bar.—KGF Vissers
