Meanwhile, Dan finally gets a chance to make a 'run' from the intended death bed Jamie's would-be kidnapper-'mother' Carrie tied him down on.

So many great episodes on this list, in my opinion at least!

3x22 - Always a favorite!
3x16 - Such an emotional, well-done episode </3
9x11 - I never would've expected to be so emotional over watching Dan dying!
4x09 - This has become one of my favorite episodes!
4x21 - A great season finale! I loved pretty much all of this episode.
6x24 - LP get their happily ever after, Nathan achieves his dream of making it to the NBA & Brooke gets the guy. This honestly would have been a great series finale.
9x13 - I was pretty happy with the series finale. Of course, it would have been much better to have Lucas & Peyton come back, but I loved it overall - especially all the Naley!
4x13 - Just a fun episode in my opinion. I really enjoyed the pairings for the assignment.
6x03 - A sad, but a well-done episode.
8x11- Meh, this is definitely my least favorite of the list. I wasn't a big fan of a lot of seasons 7 & 8, Naley was the main reason I kept watching. This episode really made me dislike Julian even more than I already did.

where the fuck are my favorite episodes in all of these, ugh :’(
