This is the first appearance of Barbara Alyn Woods (Deb Scott).

Ratings: 2.6/4

This is the first episode to not end with Lucas narrating a literary quote.

In the photos at the beach house Deb is wearing the same clothes as she is wearing during the basketball game and when she is talking to Dan in the den.

(while washing Lucas' hair in the sink)
Lucas: Okay, how is this funny Mom?
Karen: How is this not funny?

(during the game)
Whitey: Dammit! This is a team, not a Chinese fire drill!

Karen: So, are you excited?
Lucas: Why? Because we won?
Karen: No, because there’s running water in the locker room. We’re going to be roughing it until tomorrow.

(while looking around Nathan’s beach house)
Haley: Well, I bet their plumbing works.

Brooke: Lucas, come play.
Lucas: What’s the game?
Brooke: I never...
Vegas: And yet apparently, you have.

(while playing “I Never”)
Nathan: I never had a dad that wished I was a stain on the bed sheets.
Lucas: Then you’re welcome to mine.

Peyton: How's the tutoring going? You're tutoring Nathan right? It's okay. He tells me everything.
Haley: Yeah, you know, he said he needed some help.
Peyton:: Maybe you could teach him to stop being such a jackass.
Haley: I will put that on the lesson plan.
Peyton: Just be careful, okay?
Haley:Yeah, sure.
Peyton: Does Lucas know you're helping Nathan? (Haley gives her a look) You know, you say a lot when you keep your mouth shut. It's okay. I'll keep mine shut too.

Lucas: So, I’m confused. You want to be anonymous and you let the world watch you on a webcam.
Peyton: The world isn’t watching me. But I guess you are.
Lucas: Okay, the point is, you want to express yourself but you don’t want people to know it’s you.
Peyton: I guess I’m just a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a bitch.

Brooke: What are you doing?
Peyton: Just wondering if we’re all going to end up like Karen.
Brooke: Who is Karen?
Peyton: That’s Lucas’ mom.
Brooke:: Not without proper birth control we won’t.
Peyton:That’s not what I meant. She was our age when that tape was made, Brooke. In a lot of ways, we’re just like her. Don’t you think it was awful how she just let Nathan’s dad treat her like crap?
Brooke: Yeah. But honey, that doesn’t mean we’re like her. Maybe it means you’re like her.

(to Nathan after he drops her off at her house)
Haley: Yeah this is my house. Um ... we're staying here while we renovate the mansion.
Nathan: It’s not like I was trying to show off.
Haley: Isn’t that your default setting? Sorry.

Karen: Hey. You tell Dan that if he wants to spy on me or threaten me or whatever the hell this is, he can come down and do it himself.
Deb: Dan didn’t send me. I came on my own.
Karen: So it’s a coincidence.
Deb: No, I wanted you to know, everything that happened between you and Dan, I don’t carry that weight around and I don’t care to. Frankly, it looks to me like you’ve done a wonderful job raising Lucas. I’ve seen the two of you together and quite honestly, it makes me a bit jealous. Look, our two families – it’s really awkward. I’m not diluted enough to believe otherwise. I know how it is with you and Dan and our two boys. There’s a lot of history there, but it doesn’t have to be our history.

Peyton: It’s not about the car. It’s about you. I finally saw you clearly for the first time last night. The way you treated me, the way you treated Tim, the way you treated your brother.
Nathan: Don’t call him that.
Peyton: And the way you’re playing that girl.
Nathan: What? Are you talking about Haley? Is that what this is about? Peyton, she means nothing.
Peyton: Okay, if that’s the case, then you’re an ass. And even if she does mean something, you’re still an ass and what’s really sad, Nathan, is that you’re too stupid to get that. So thank you for being such an amazing son of a bitch last night. You really made this a no-brainer.
Nathan: I’ll call you when you’re not so PMS.
Peyton: Don’t bother. I mean it -- we’re done. So get the hell out. I mean it! Get the hell out!

Lucas: So, if anything were going on with you … anything important or weird, or confusing. I mean, you could still be honest with me about that, right?
Haley: Yeah, of course.
(Lucas hands her the hat she was wearing at the party)
Lucas: You left that in Peyton’s car.

In previous episodes Tim has had no distinguishable accent, but in this episode he speaks with a southern accent.

When Lucas is outside digging, Karen comes out and shuts the door, but in the next shot the door is open again.

Episode Title: Crash into You

"Crash into You" is a take on the Dave Mathews Band song "Crash Into Me" from the album Crash Into Me.

Haley: Can we make like a tree and get out of here?

Haley is quoting a line from Back to the Future spoken by Biff Tannen.

Visual: Peyton drawing a stop light.

Peyton drawing a stop light foreshadows the events of "All That You Can't Leave Behind" in which Peyton deals with the anniversary of her mother being killed in a traffic accident.

This episode is a prime example of how different Lucas's and Nathan's lives are at this point in the series. During the episode, the Ravens have a party at Nathan's beach house and the scale of his house is contrasted with the plumbing problems that Lucas and Karen are having in their smaller home. Also, this episode shows how different Lucas and Nathan's personalities are as well. Though they aren't on the best terms, Lucas tries to be nice to Nathan but Nathan, on the other hand, uses every opportunity he can to berate Lucas.
