One Tree Hill:

Are You True?

After a particularly spectacular basketball game, Lucas quickly supplants Nathan as the team's most popular player. Sexy cheerleader Brooke immediately sets her romantic sights on the new star athlete. Frustrated by Lucas' success, and goaded on by Dan, Nathan rallies his teammates and begins a hazing campaign against Lucas, including trashing the outdoor court where Lucas practices. The pranks escalate until Nathan and the guys abduct Lucas and order him to quit the team before something terrible happens to him. But one player, Jake, defies Nathan and supports Lucas. Nathan seeks the ultimate revenge on Lucas by attempting to seduce Lucas' best friend, Haley, persuading her to tutor him and then flirting relentlessly. Haley agrees to help Nathan with his homework only if he will stop harassing Lucas, but even she finds it hard to resist Nathan's charm, and she keeps the entire arrangement secret from Lucas.

Meanwhile, Peyton becomes upset with Lucas because he submitted her drawings to a hip magazine without her knowledge. She also wonders why she continues dating self-centered Nathan, who barely acknowledges her ambitions. When the publication expresses interest in printing her work, Lucas is the one who encourages her to dispense with her doubts and pursue her dream of being an artist without compromising her ideals. Also, Karen confronts her rival from high school, who is now the stepmother of one of Lucas' jealous teammates.

This episode is named after a song by The New Amsterdams.
