Lucas narrates the opening scene while Ravens are flying through the sky. The scene cuts to the playoff basketball game where Mouth is reporting for ravenshoops.com. Dan gives the team a pep-talk in the locker room before they head to the court.
Flashback to the river court. Lucas takes a shot and misses. Nathan tells him that all of his training for the playoffs will mean nothing if he can’t hit the shot. Nathan passes Lucas the ball and this time he hits the shot. He asks Nathan what’s bothering him, and he responds that Haley still isn’t talking to him.
Haley’s sitting on a bench outside of Tree Hill High looking through pictures on her picture phone. Dan walks up behind her and accuses Haley of manipulating Nathan. As Dan walks away, he comments on Haley’s tattoo.
At the basketball game, Mouth narrates before the opening tip-off. While Mouth talks, Dan glances up to the stands to see Karen sitting with Deb. The team warms up.

Back at the game, Nathan asks Lucas if he’s seen Haley. Lucas tells him no.
Flashback to Peyton dropping off Haley at home in the rain. Haley gets out of the car and sees Nathan on her front porch. Nathan tells her that he went on a run to clear his head and ended up at her house. Nathan explains that the pictures on his computer didn’t mean anything, and he didn’t tell her this because he was embarrassed that he didn’t do it a long time ago. Haley asks him if that’s it. Nathan replies: "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 your pride, you idiot, you love this girl, and even if you're going to catch pneumonia, your ass is gong to stand out here in the rain until you convince her to forgive you.'" Haley asks him why she should forgive him, and he responds that he’s sorry and he loves her and she’s looking really hot in the rain. They kiss in the rain.
Cut to the gym where Haley walks in and sits down next to Keith. Dan gives the team another pep-talk before tip-off. As they take the court, Dan yells at Lucas for not having a name on his jersey. Lucas turns around and tells him that he does have a name on his jersey. He points to the word “Ravens” on the front of his jersey.
Flashback to Lucas visiting Dan in Whitey’s office. Lucas tells him that he’s sorry for resenting him and how he didn’t know that Dan wanted custody. He apologizes for never thanking him for saving him the night of the accident. Dan tells Lucas he should be in the gym. Lucas leaves.
Back to the present where the teams line up for the tip-off. One of the other team’s players tells Lucas he better watch his shoulder. The Ravens win the tip-off as Mouth gives the play-by-play.
Flashback to Brooke at the bar. Nicki sits down beside her and Brooke tells her that the seat is reserved for her friend Peyton. “Friend?”, Nicki asks. “As far as she knows”, Brooke responds. Brooke tells Nicki she’ll tell her where Jake is if she buys her a drink. The scene cuts back to Brooke winking at Peyton as they cheer.
Mouth continues giving the play-by-play as the cheerleaders yell “defense”. A Masonboro dunks the ball over Lucas. Karen glances over at Keith.

Flashback to Peyton’s bedroom. Brooke tells Peyton that she can trust her. The scene cuts to the bar where Nicki and Brooke talk about getting Peyton to tell Brooke where Jake took Jenny. Cut back to the game. Lucas alley-oops to Nathan, who dunks the ball. The crowd rises to their feet as the team races to the other end of the court, but Karen remains seated.
Flashback to Karen and Lucas in his bedroom. Karen’s crying and Lucas comes over to comfort her. They talk about Lucas wanting to leave Tree Hill and how Karen isn’t ready to let him go.

Flashback to the bar. Brooke and Peyton are sitting together and Peyton tells Brooke that Jake took Jenny to Savannah. Brooke tells Peyton she’s glad that she told her. Cut to Nathan’s room where Haley and Nathan are talking about having sex. Haley worries that it would drive them apart, but Nathan assures her that it won’t change anything. They agree to be together after the game.
In the locker room, Dan yells at the team for only being up by five points. He points out each of the players’ weaknesses then goes to check on Lucas. The doctor tells him that Lucas can’t play. Dan ignores him and goes over to Lucas and tells him that the doctor said he’d be fine. Nathan overhears. Lucas tells Dan he’ll be fine and Dan tells the doctor they’ll get an x-ray after the game. Nathan comes over to check on Lucas and reminds him that “all this means nothing if you can't knock down that shot.”
Flashback to Nathan and Lucas walking to visit Whitey. They discuss Dan’s basketball career and how Dan benched himself during the state championship. They arrive at Whitey’s and give him a basketball autographed by all of the players on the team. They talk about practice with Dan and Whitey tells them to play with all their hearts, no regrets.
Second half of the game, and Masonboro is up by five. The clock ticks down and Mouth gives the play by play. Haley whispers “Oh man, I'm scared”.
Flashback to Haley walking through the cemetery. She shouts at Lucas and he jumps out from behind a headstone, scaring Haley. Haley smacks him in the stomach. Lucas tells Haley that he has to tell her something – after the game he’s moving to Charleston with Keith.

The ball bounces on the rim, but doesn’t go through. Lucas falls to his knees as the crowd sits down, stunned. Nathan pats Lucas on the back.
In the locker room, Dan yells at the team, telling them what a pathetic performance they put up. He tells Nathan to take off his jersey; he doesn’t deserve to wear it. Nathan takes his jersey off and yells back at Dan. He tells Dan that he put Lucas in despite knowing he shouldn’t have, but Lucas wasn’t a coward like Dan was.

The next morning, Lucas finishes packing. They sit on the bed and Karen tells him that no matter where he is, he’ll always be in the hearts of those who love him and that there is only one Tree Hill. They embrace before he leaves.
Brooke and Peyton are together in Peyton’s room and decide to do something good with the day. The camera pans to a letter taped to Peyton’s front door from Lucas.
At the beach house, Dan spins his wedding ring on the table before he signs the divorce papers. His phone rings and the screen shows a text message from Deb. As Dan starts to sign the paper, he grabs his chest and falls out of his chair to the ground. Dan seizes up and is unable to grab his phone.

Lucas knocks on Nathan’s apartment door. Nathan answers and invites Lucas in. Inside, Lucas sees Haley walk past the doorway with a sheet wrapped around her. She asks Nathan where his sweatshirt is. Haley walks into the room and Lucas tells her that he just wanted to say goodbye. Lucas looks uncomfortable as he tells Haley he’s okay with her sleeping with Nathan, but he thought that she wanted to wait until she was married to have sex. Haley tells him that they did wait. Lucas looks confused and Haley tells him that they got married last night. Nathan and Haley show Lucas their rings.
Keith and Lucas drive down the highway as the closing voiceover plays: ” 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”. As they drive, a flock of ravens fly over Keith and Lucas.
