She did, but as consolation, she says, "Welcome to Tree Hill. I dare you to find a guy who didn't lose his virginity to Brooke Davis."

The session is interrupted by the arrival of ... Nick Lachey!

He's the one who wants to use one of Haley's songs on his next album.

Mia repeatedly calls him "Nick Lachey" because both first and last names are a thing they do in Tree Hill.
