Season 1, Episode 1 — "Pilot"

Memorable Quote: "First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, you don't know me." —
Peyton Sawyer

Let's start at the beginning, shall we? Most fans love the first episode of the teen drama because it set up central storylines of the show. Lucas and Nathan's rivalry turned friendship, Leyton's will they/won't they romance, and of course, the central theme of how sports can bring people together.

Season 4, Episode 20 — "The Birth and Death of Day"

Memorable Quote: "Because life doesn’t owe us anything. As a matter of fact, I think that we owe something to the world. And if we can just believe this… I’m sorry, I have more… I just think I’m having my baby." — Haley James Scott

Honestly, this list wouldn't be complete without a shoutout to the episode where the students at Tree Hill High finally graduate! And, it wouldn't be Tree Hill without a little drama aka Haley going into labor during her valedictorian speech.

Season 3, Episode 16 — "With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept"

Memorable Quote: "When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?" — Lucas Scott

This storyline is arguably the most profound storyline on the show. When a student brings a gun to school, all of the characters are forced to confront the worst parts of humanity. OTH was able to be a part of the gun violence conversation in a meaningful way.

Season 8, Episode 12 — "The Drinks We Drank Last Night"

Memorable Quote: "Everyone shut up about their stupid mouths! I lost my engagement ring." — Brooke Davis

What happened last night? That's what everyone was asking in this The Hangover-like episode. Viewers were entertained watching the all-grown-up ladies run around Tree Hill trying to figure out what exactly went down at Brooke's bachelorette party.

Season 4, Episode 10 — "Some You Give Away"

Memorable Quote: "Hey Peyton. It’s you. When all my dreams come true, the one I want next to me. It’s you, it’s you Peyton." — Lucas Scott

When fans think of legendary episodes, this one always comes to mind. Not only did the Ravens win the state championship (a dream come true), Lucas finally chose Peyton. Of course, that wasn't the end of Leyton's tumultuous relationship but it was a step in the right direction.

Season 3, Episode 22 — "The Show Must Go On"

Memorable Quote: "That feeling that everything is going to be okay, and that there's gonna be someone there to help make sure of that. So here's to Nathan and Haley. Here's to hope. And here's to hope that will not alter." — Brooke Davis

A wedding. A limo crash. A pregnancy. And a completely gut-wrenching moment between Lucas and Brooke. The Season 3 finale delivered on all fronts. If you ask us, this episode had everything a OTH episode should have: love, drama, and a heck of a cliffhanger.

Season 3, Episode 18 — "When It Isn't Like It Should Be"

Memorable Quote: "So hot girl quotes me to me, is that wrong if that turns me on?" — Pete Wentz

We can still hardly believe that Pete from Fall Out Boy actually showed up to Tree Hill. Even if Peyton's fling with the musician was short lived — it sure was satisfying.

Season 4, Episode 13 — "Pictures of You"

Memorable Quote: "We're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead. But when you're young one hour can change everything." — Lucas Scott

Think OTH meets The Breakfast Club. The seniors of Tree Hill High are all tasked with the job of spending time with another classmate for a class period. During that time they ask each other questions in an effort to learn more about themselves. In the end, the characters realize they're much more than a simple label like "jock" or "prom queen" — and fans learned so much more about them in the process.

Season 3, Episode 13 — "The Wind That Blew My Heart Away"

Memorable Quote: "I've given exactly two of these embarrassing speeches in my entire life and they've both been to you. I mean, that's gotta mean something right?" — Lucas Scott

Oh, Brucas. This episode was probably the height of Brooke and Lucas' romance. Plus, Naley fans were happy that Nathan and Haley finally got back together… for good.

10 of 10

Season 9, Episode 11 — "Danny Boy"

Memorable Quote: "No matter what you've done, you're still my father. My father, and I love you." — Nathan Scott

Dan spent most of his time on the show playing the villain. He killed his brother, abandoned his son, and was an all-around bad guy. But, before he passes away, he finally got a chance to redeem himself and experience forgiveness.
