Plot
During a bright and sunny day in Tree Hill, Tree Hill resident Haley James is working at Karen's Cafe and is hearing rumors going around that former resident Jacob Davis is coming back but she refuses to believe the rumors. While on his way home Jacob tries to contact his friend and former employer Karen Roe and warns her not to tell Haley or Lucas so he could surprise as well as give them gifts. Brooke is chatting with her cheerleading squad at school when Haley and Lucas arrive while Nathan is acting like a jerk to Lucas as per usual. Eventually Whitey tells the basketball that an assistant coach maybe coming from out of state to help them much to the dismay of Dan Scott and his son Nathan. Over a few hours later just after school started Jacob stopped by the cafe and caught up with Keith and Karen just before going to the school about the new assistant coach job the school is offering. Back at the high school Lucas tells Haley there could be a possibility that Jacob may return but Haley still refuses and argues with Lucas and walks off only to have Jacob pull up into parking lot of the school in his 1972 Chevy Nova he has had since he was 16 years old and shocks Haley and the rest of the students.
