==Synopsis==

14 months have passed since Lucas and Peyton left town for good, but the intertwined lives in Tree Hill has undergone major changes: new faces arrived, while new challenges await those who stayed
==Overview==
A year has passed since Lucas and Peyton left Tree Hill. A scandal threatens Nathan's career in the NBA; Haley goes back on the road, but suffers a family tragedy that causes her a very intense battle with depression. Rachel and Dan return to Tree Hill and Brooke hires a new model (Alex) for "Clothes Over Bros" that in turn threatens her relationship with Julian. Mouth and Millicent's relationship is also threatened when Millie decided to become a model, but suffers serious self-image and develops a mini drug problem . Newcomers Clay and Quinn settle in Tree Hill and soon fall for one another, only to have their own personal lives to fix. While old romances, Mia and Chase seem to struggle, new ones form, Miranda and Grubbs, give in and begin a relationship, while Victoria and Alexander decide to take their professional relationship to the next level.
