This week it’s all about the hero dads of Tree Hill. Dan Scott steps into full action-hero mode to save Nathan, but not without the help of the unlikely “Avengers” team-up we never saw coming. The Queens also dig into why Brooke’s storyline left them frustrated, and Sophia sadly reckons with the truths of dealing with a stalker onscreen l versus off.

Has Dan Scott ever looked so hot?!? And of course, there’s an emotional twist that reminds us why these fatherhood arcs hit so hard.
