OTH 316 Ending w/ Darkness Poem

One Tree Hill's school shooting episode with Lucas Scott's Darkness poem.

[@aimal666]

The single most powerful scene I've ever seen. It's always stayed with me after all these years.

[@heidos7]

I still can't believe they didn't win an award for this episode. It was so well done, from the writing, to directing, to the acting.... The whole cast blew me away and Colin Fickes in this scene, it broke my heart. It made me feel for him and understand why he did what he did, things aren't always black and white. This will always be one of the most memorable ep. for me and always just as sad and emotional. Also, I kinda forgave Dan by the end of the series but seeing this again makes me remember why I hated him so much.

[@lileyfrye5544]

totally agree this was the most powerful scene in one tree hill period it will always stay with me.

[@Starnerdz]

heidos7 - Murderer's do not deserve to be forgiven, time makes people forget the pain they caused, but Keith will never get a Second chance, so why should Dan? Because Dan is still alive?

"I wanted them to leave me alone... I wanted them to like me." Such a heart-breaking, relatable truth

[@geoffbruce8605]

So much. The way that he starts off trying to sound angry and independent, like, if everybody just at least ignored me, it would be fine. But then he confesses, in tears, to both Keith and really to himself as well I think, that he didn’t want to be ignored, he wanted to be liked. It feels weak to admit that you care what people think about you, especially at that age, but it’s something that everybody does care about at a level much deeper than they might even realize. It’s like Jimmy has been trying to hard, ever since Lucas and Skills and Mouth stopped hanging out with him, to pretend like he doesn’t need anyone. He lost his best friends, so he didn’t want to make new friends, because he didn’t want to make himself vulnerable to people to leaving him behind again. But in the end, we always need friends. It’s all that he wanted, and he’s finally accepting that.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

@@geoffbruce8605 he also just admitted it to Dan. Idk, I think what hurt more was when Keith said that "he knows Jimmy and he's a good kid" when talking to Dan and Dan said "well he is now." I don't think he was a bad kid, just a troubled kid who was scared, angry, and upset at everything. I've been there before. I almost made a similarish mistake (wasn't a gun) while at school. Not a day goes by that I don't forget that moment where I almost made a mistake that I couldn't take back.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

I feel like what also helps you to sympathize with him is that Keith had known him since he was little and knows that he's not a bad kid just a scared and lost kid trying to figure it all out.

[@HenshinHeroesMedia]

The show fleshes out gun plots involving kids and school. Unlike 7th heaven that made the stance on how violence in media/having bad parents equals future shooter (while a future episode did better), this one shows why things like this happens and doesn't make a shooter a one note villain.

[@xmariaht]

I so wasnt expecting Dan killing Keith. Or Keith getting killed off in general. It was so heartbreaking. Then the way that they added in Jimmys story was amazing, but such a tragedy at the same time. This episode was truely amazing

[@Starnerdz]

I think many people can empathize with jimmy, people can be mean and cruel, only thing we can do is learn from it and start treating others better.

[@vamosrafa8841]

empathize ? I'm sorry but we all have problems, that does not mean we take a gun and start traumatizing people. Being bullied is bad, I agree, but there are people out there who go through worse, who die of hunger or because of war and would fight every day to stay alive. And the thought of people like this boy thinking they have the right to take the precious life of another human being makes me so angry.

[@90srapfan37]

VamosRafa we all have problems but that doesn't mean we should trivialize them. I'm pretty sure there are people in this world that have it worse than the people you just mentioned but does that make their problems any less important? I feel like if Jimmy had the right guidance or people to help him through this hell he wouldn't have done what he did. Thats where the "empathy" comes from. People are so quick to label other people as monster's without considering what got them to that point. This episode did something that most close-minded people with a black and white viewpoint don't do, they considered the perspective of the shooter and showed the human side of him and showed that he's just like us but just went down the wrong path. I'm not excusing school shootings but it pisses me off whenever people dismiss bullying so easily but then get all bent up and surprised when a victim retaliates. And then the dead automatically get deemed as "innocent" just because they died. That makes me mad

[@grassman5819]

VamosRafa You also understand the thought of not being loved nor wanted. Nor thought about. You feel a certain way. You feel unchecked no guidance no nothing. Just sadness and despair. like he said a whole in his heart. But some people just dont deserve too live im sorry. Some people are hateful gorror. They are undignified etc. So i understand where he comee from. People or bullys are the usual reasons for school shootings am i right?

[@Starnerdz]

@VamosRafa - Your comment concern's me, many kid's go through what jimmy has gone through, i was one of those kid's and i alway's befriended those who had similar path's. No, i never thought about shooting up a school i was just strong enough to get through it, but not every situation or person is the same either. Jimmy didn't want to actually hurt anybody if you actually watched this episode, he just wanted to reverse what he has been going through onto the people who been making his life a living hell in school, to make them feel what he felt. If you had any understanding on psychology, and what can push someone to go over the edge, you would empathize, but it is because you don't understand in why you lack empathy for jimmy. We are a social species and we need eachother, without support a person can break, hurt themselves and/or hurt other's. Maybe you should think about that the next time you see a kid being bullied, instead of thinking atleast it ain't you, offer them support, you might be surprised how much that will be appreciated and how much it can change another person's life.

[@trips347]

@@brendanprimus3211 Counseling doesn’t help with anything. It’s just the psychologist listening to you and then telling you what you already know you have to do, and you have to pay for that. The best is to work on yourself. If you’re over weight work on your weight. If you’re getting bullied learn to bully back, don’t give a shit what they think. Learn to not be so emotional, cuz the strongest survive in our society, just like in the animal kingdom.

+Royals You're right. It doesn't "get" better. Never. You have to *MAKE* it better! It's sad to say, but out of all the characters and stories in this show, Jimmy Edwards is the one I can relate to the most. I sometimes watch this episode and this scene in particular whenever I'm in one of my emotionally turbulent/self-loathing/self-pitying states. I'm 21 and I'm only just now starting to have a -satisfying- social life. It's not just school. If you were a shy, lonely, socially incompetent left out loner in high school, you'll be a shy, lonely, socially incompetent left out loner in college and/or you'll be a shy, lonely, socially incompetent left out loner at work. Unless you do something about it. I had to fight like hell to get where I'm at now, and I'm still a f*cking disaster! I'm a kissless virgin, never been to a party(not counting family ones), never had a real girlfriend, and I'm horribly lonely, as I always have been. I was/am often left out(or I feel as if I am-I know a lot of times I leave myself out), and when I want to talk to someone, a lot of the time, I have no idea what to say. I'm so indecisive. Even in my own head, I can't decide what to think or feel or do. It's hell. The hell I put myself through. I want out(I think) but I don't know what else to do.

No-one really knew Dan was in there but they would've been able to see his finger prints on the gun if they had analyzed it which idk if they would've even done because only one person witnessed him in the building with Keith.

This is the first episode of One Tree Hill that I saw all the way through on its original air date. and I've been hooked ever since. so Powerful...

I still have to skip this episode. My whole body hurts when I watch it. I know the pain they were trying to get across with jimmy. The pain that so many teens face everyday. Such a sad episode. But so beautifully done. The actor nailed it.

That's the pain I felt sometimes in middle school and high school. Even elementary school.

This has stuck with me for so long. It helped me cope when my uncle took his life. And its helped when I was so close to taking my own. I am thankful Mainstream media is at times able to address such real and intense emotions and feelings.

This was nearly two decades ago and still gives me chills

[@isaiahsturgis5037]

As as person that was dealt with bullying and loneliness in the past, I felt sympathy for Jimmy and had I actually not gotten the help I needed the acceptance that I desperately wanted, I would’ve been in the same position as him, this go for show that you should always be with your people that suffer from loneliness and depression no matter how annoying and clingy they may be

[@evernevermore-ci2so]

This is such a powerful episode. Poor Jimmy. He didn't really wanna hurt anybody. He was just scared and hurting so badly. And when Dan aimed that gun at Keith my heart stopped. I didn't think he'd really do it. "Surely to God you're not that much of a monster Dan. Please no." Devastating episode. Amazing acting from everyone

[@MsFriendsfan4ever]

this is by far the saddest episode ever in oth, and Keith's death was the saddest moment by far

[@marineaudouy8223]

"I wanted them to like me" god i felt that, same for "it always hurts" Colin Fickes gave such an amazing performance I'm speechless

[@larissatuena]

I CRIED SO MUCH ON THIS EPISODE ... i still cry every time a watch it

[@BeautiXo]

rewatching this show for the second time and i just saw this episode and it hurt just as much as it did the first time. it still got to me especially because Keith was such a good guy, one of my favorite characters. he didn’t deserve to die at all, with finally being with the love of his life and was even going to adopt Lucas. this episode was by far the most memorable and the cast did such a good job. RIP Jimmy Edwards and Keith Scott you’ll always be in our OTH hearts

[@gmc3317]

Haley's face at 2:38 is the bit that always makes me cry. Just to think what would go through your head at that moment is unimaginable!

“Did it steal into out lives or do we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us?”

[@blandrat]

One of the most heart touching episodes in Television history... We see the pain that one goes through. We see that life is precious and that it’s fragile. It can end in only one moment....

[@Mellowhype503]

Keith, the man everyone should aspire to be like

[@Tgrimm20]

Jimmy omg this scene will forever break me 😭🥺💔 poor kid deserved so much better.. I hate that people feel that type of pain 😢 then what Dan to his BROTHER HIS OWN BROTHER says something!!

[@jrcolacola]

This episode has so many layers... mostly this scene. From when Keith came in until when he was killed.

[@sarahxo2317]

One of the saddest episodes I’ve ever watched. Jimmy’s pain is heartbreaking to watch and it’s even more heartbreaking that situations like these are happening all the time today.

[@catherinespratt8753]

I loved this episode. it's so powerful. this and 2 other episodes made me bawl so hard and that tells you how good and powerful they were. miss this show

[@W3KWAR]

How do you not get chills seeing the beautiful acting in probably the show's best episode?

[@acerivera5464]

Just watching this scene brings up the moment where I first watched this and learned that “it gets better” my dad died in 2003 and searched for the better and almost 17 years later I can say it’s hard live without him but I do see the better. Keith was an amazing character another great tv dad

[@DonnaThomas1978]

No matter how many times i watch this episode i still cry when Jimmy hits his chest and says it hurts it always hurts, and the look of betrayal on Keith's face breaks me, he knows what's coming and can't quite believe his brother would pull the trigger 💔

[@NickJTerry]

Everything about this scene, from the acting to the music, was amazing. Still makes me cry 😭
