When I first saw this, I cried like I never have while watching the show. Little Logan is the cutest. And when he says "Where are you going? Clay?" it gets me every time. One Tree Hill was one of the greatest shows.
I love that One Tree Hill created such a storyline because this is real life stuff that happens. I appreciate that the writers aren't afraid to go to those darker places because people can relate to that stuff more than you might think.
@@mariamzare4731 I like One Tree Hill more, just a lot more relatable. I actually like how when they did Clays dissociative fugue disorder storyline they didn't make him a crazy psycho unlike Clay in 13 Reasons Why.
@@trinitylivingston1286 He didn't became a psycho it was another him let's say and I'm just saying OTH is real good but for dark places there is better that's all.
So many people don’t realize how realistic this actually is. Maybe because I’m a Psych Major I found this storyline PERFECT and it was such a shock when we found out.
So this thing actually happens? A man can repress the thought and memory of his child due to emotional trauma like the death of a spouse and then have episodes until such a realization occurs??
Yeah I was young when this originally aired and I thought this was so unrealistic was pretty much the main reason I didn’t like season 9..... so can this be a genuine thing???? (Although I loved the kid, easily the cutest little one they had throughout the whole show)
luna love I think it is believable as they wrote it. Because losing his wife was a massive trauma that took him ages to get over and that’s on top of a crazy stalker who looked EXACTLY like her and shot both him and Quinn at point blank range, came back and nearly killed Quinn. That’s A LOT of psychological trauma pilled on top repressed memories of Logan. I think when he has the conversation with Quinn at the end of season 8 it just means that he has finally let go of all the trauma that was ultimately blocking his mind from remembering his son. That’s my take on it, and what we see in season 9 is his subconscious taking over as it attempts to recall those memories. I have always been fascinated by the mind, psychology, metaphysics etc so I have done a lot of research and I think makes logical sense that Clay didn’t start subconsciously remembering Logan until AFTER he moved past Sarah’s death and all the other trauma he went through as a result of moving to tree hill.
i love how long it took for us to fully know clay and his backstory. from his first introduction in season 7, we just know he is nathans agent who sleeps with random girls from time to time and that lost his wife years ago. and over time little bit and pieces of his past come up and when its the big reveal its like whoaaaah
I don't think a OTH scene has ever hit me as hard as this one. It literally took my breath away, made me cry, and broke my heart all at the same time! :(
This is absolutely beautiful, just pure amazement! and it literally breaks my heart that there is only 5 more episodes until OTH finishes!! One tree Hill is just pure love, and I think that nothing else can even compare to this!
This Logan kid is TOO adorable!!! Like somebody said: "he is even cuter than Jamie"; i LOVE this kid!!! It's the second time that Clay walk away from his: the first time was when Clay left the "hospital" (1st time) and Quinn brought him back!!! Oooooooooooooooooh, poooor Logan
its crazy because just last week i was like "aww it would be so nice if clay and quinn adopted him so he won't have to be in that place alone anymore" HE'S SO F.CKING CUTE!!!
My heart broke in this scene. Logan is the cutest child ever. And what a great performance by Robert Buckley (Clay) I could just see the pain in his eyes and it broke my heart. Great Acting.
i’m suprised everyone is saying this stiry is garbage.. this storyline was the only one that made me cry and the scene when he and his son reconnect was the most powerful thing i’ve ever seen.
see when Lucas and Peyton left, I was so upset and I didn't like the new characters just because now yes some of the new characters still piss me off for example Chase, I think he just takes up screen time but I really love Clay and Quinn. This storyline is seriously one of the best this season, Logan is the cutest kid in the world and this scene was so sad. I was crying and I am so upset that this show is ending because its my favorite and this season has been amazing!
he reminds me of that kid from the polar express billy yeah cuz u feel bad for billy and i feel bad 4 logan as he call for clay and clay just walks away
definitely one of oth's best scenes! i hope nathan will be back next episode and clay and quinn will accept logan into their lives so the last few episodes will make the best happy ending ever.
Honestly, it’s not that far-fetched that Clay forgot that Logan existed. I mean, most of us don’t remember significant moments in our lives, like when we took our first steps or said our first word. There’s, more often than not, no particular trauma linked to us forgetting those things; we just don’t remember them. I think that he was so overwhelmed by how unexpectedly Sarah died and all, along with grief from it, that his mind just went ‘ I need to deal with this now. ‘ and, subsequently, kicked Logan out of it.
Well, yeah. The comparison is a bit far-fetched, on my part. But still. If our minds can store so much information, who’s to say that some of it can’t be taken away, too?

Its is impossible it could have been six years in the story the series started in 2003 , season 4 ended after 3 years in high school to 2006 , and four years of college 2010 , two years after 2012 the time jump of fourteen months 2013 and the last three seasons making it to 2016 . Logan was shown a baby right before Sara died , and that was when Clay decided to have Nathan as his Client , and the doctor said it had been six years but according to the time jump , it had been barely three years and Logan was born in 2006 .
I cannot understand the whole blocking out his own son. Maybe I just need to do more research on Fugue state as a social worker to try to understand this storyline. But I can't comprehend how he can forget his own son.
Laura Schoenborn when you go through something traumatic (Clay watching his wife die unexpectedly) your mind can oftentimes force you to forget and block out important parts of your life. it's apart of PTSD.
This storyline and Nathan’s kidnapping both felt really out of place imo. I honestly don’t like the ninth season that much, it kind of felt like a different show.
@867- 5309 I actually found Julian leaving his son in the car believable. I agree he 100% was not that dad, but he was also sleep deprived as hell that day so wasn't paying attention, so I don't find it all that unbelievable. I also think it was nice as it gave Austin something meatier to work with (I feel like they kind of went overboard with the 'soft Julian' stuff in s8), even if it was only for a few episodes. I agree on the Logan stuff though. I would've preferred if they'd just adopted a child if they didn't want to have their own/do another pregnancy storyline, but I guess thats not enough drama...it would've been a nice throwback to Peyton (or Sam if they did fostering) though, since Brooke didn't end up adopting.
@@michelleb9884 I think the Nathan kidnapping thing they only did because James wasn't interesting in signing on for the full 13 episodes, so they had to explain him being away for the other half.
It’s weird, but my parents and I oddly agree that( while not in these words ) the best plot twists happened in season seven and onward. Like how Clay’s wife was actually dead, Clay and Quinn were really in a coma, and Logan being Clay’s son. I don’t mean to get into a whole spiel about this, but I was so reluctant going into season seven because I don’t like change and all the new characters that were being introduced kind of intimated me, but I actually ended up really enjoying the last three seasons.
Oncer Girl Yeah, some people didn’t even give the seasons a chance, JUST because Lucas and Peyton were no longer in the show. They didn’t get to experience the new characters and great storylines! For example, Clay and Quinn, Brooke and Julian, and, as you mentioned, the great plot twists, etc.
Logan,s birthdate was shown to be 2006 , but that was when Nathan graduated highschool , but Clay signed to be his agent when he was still a baby that means it was around 2006 and 2007 but Nathan was in college and not in the NBA at all . And the time jump and season 7 and 8 show three years not six and sarah,s death must have been in 2012 because that was when Nathan joined the NBA , but that would mean Logan would have been six then but he was till shown a baby .
Damn I stopped watching this show because peyton & Lucas left but I started watching because this season is really good aside from the season of them in school like season 6 was really good. But watching this clip made me forget about all the good music OTH has.... Time to go to itunes
I found out before Clay that it was his son!!! :) Logan is so adorable but i agree Clay should have been really messed up to erase his son of his memory, how is it possible?
Severe trauma can do that. The day my infant daughter died, I made a phone call to one of my best friends. It's been 15 years, & I STILL have NO memory of that phone call, but my BFF has told me about it numerous times.
dencod18 that was weird but in a way it makes sense. It was still blocked out, b/c he was grieving Sarah still, and even if there were hints he wasn’t ready to hear it. However, when he is finally moving forward with Quinn, he’s ready to listen to it.
Sorry for saying this but I don't understand why didn't know his own son I watched this show just season 7 episode 7 I saw clay just completely fine he doesn't lost his memory
His wife died from an aneurysm and it stressed his brain out so much that he blocked out the painful memories and that included his son. That's why in the begging of the season he was sleep walking to random pool places places where you would take your child to. His brain was trying to remember
Can that really happen? Someone blocking out a whole human being cause of one traumatic even. And have conversations with them and not remember them from the past?
@fianle Ah ok.. Wow, it's still so messed up but in an awesome way now ! Poor Clay, realizing that you had forgotten the existence of your own son.. I remember thinking, when Sarah died, "Oh it's so sad they don't even have the child they talked about !" Well, Mark is a genius !
I absolutely hated Clay he was a horrible and annoying character and so was his girlfriend, also everything after season 4. I loved Brooke so much, she deserved a better love story then how it ended.
