  Episode Quotes  
Lucas: (closing voiceover) Some people believe that ravens guide travelers to their destinations. Others believe that the sight of a solitary raven is considered good luck, while more than one raven together predicts trouble ahead.
 
(about Haley and Nathan spending the night together)
Lucas: It's just, well, I thought you were going to wait until you got married.
Haley: We did.
Lucas: What are you talking about?
Haley: We got married last night.
 
Haley: Nathan, you're soaked! What are you doing here?
Nathan: I just went for a run to clear my head, I guess this is where I ended up. Look Haley, the picture of Peyton didn't mean anything, okay.
Haley: I did to me. Clearly you still have feelings for her.
Nathan: I saved that picture back when we were still dating. The other ones too. You can go back and look. Her webcam hasn't even been in her closet for months.
Haley: Why didn't you tell me this last week?
Nathan: Because I should have deleted those images a long time ago. I just ... I felt bad because I didn't do it. Besides Haley, I don't want Peyton. I want you.
Haley: Is that it?
Nathan: You know, my pride says "yeah, that's it. Just walk away and let Haley deal with the fact that she's clearly threatened by a sexual relationship". But my heart says "just forget about ur pride you idiot. You love this girl. And even if your going to catch pnemonia, your ass is gonna stand out here in the rain until you convince her to forgive you." So come on Hales, just meet me half way here.
Haley: Why should I?
Nathan: Because I'm sorry. Because I love you. And Because your looking really hot standing out here in the rain and I'm thinking, I have to kiss you.
Haley: Well, If you have to.
 
  Episode Goofs  
During the episode, Lucas' hair changes from being short, to being long again, then once again being sort.
 
After the scene with Nathan and Haley in the rain, Haley takes off her wet top twice.
 
The timeline of Nathan and Haley getting married doesn't fit within the episode. At the school before they get married, Haley tells Lucas that she's going to spend the night with Nathan. Haley then gets into Nathan's car and they drive away. However, Nathan then visits Lucas at the rivercourt, which doesn't allow much time for Nathan and Haley to get married in the middle of the night.

  Episode References  
The undergarment that Haley is wearing when she takes off her shirt after making up with Nathan in the rain is what Nathan bought her at the lingerie store on their first date during "The Search for Something More".
 
  Analysis  
The flashback filled format of this episode is a format that the show will use in future episodes, mainly in season premiere and finale episodes. As seen in this episode, the flashback format of the episodes allows the writers to skip ahead in time, but allow for blanks to be filled in during the episode.
