Nathan Scott and Haley James were a big part of what made One Tree Hill so popular as a show. During the show's 9 season run, the two found each other and, although they married absurdly young and even separated twice, their love for each other never went away.
The chemistry between James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Lenz was remarkable as they made it quite easy for fans to get behind Nathan and Haley's relationship. They had a lot of great moments on the show but for those who don't have time to watch all 9 seasons' worth of episodes, there are 10 episodes from One Tree Hill that are a must-see for those re-watching the show because they miss 'Naley.'
Are You True? (1.03)
This is the episode where Nathan gives Haley the iconic bracelet from the crackerjack box during their first tutoring session. Even though the two officially met before this episode, this serves as the beginning of their story, as it is the moment they both started to shift their perception of each other.
Nathan might have gone after her as a way to get to Lucas but that tactic was shortly abandoned when he realized he actually into the smart funny tutor. This episode is great to re-watch to see where it all started.
The Games That Play Us (1.22)
The couple has many notable makeout sessions in the rain during the show, all of them memorable in their own way. The one that starts it all happens during a storm that hits Tree Hill. Due to Nathan's dating history, the couple gets into a fight after Haley begins to worry about whether they could go the distance.
After spending some time apart, Nathan weathers the storm to go to her house and apologize and his bold move paid off with Haley forgiving him and the two locking lips in the rain. In a shocking twist, the finale ends with Lucas finding out the two had got married. For months, fans were on tenterhooks to see how everyone would react to the news.
The Desperate Kingdom Of Love (2.01)
This season 2 premiere answers a lot of questions fans had after the surprising season 1 finale. Through flashbacks, fans get to see Nathan's proposal, the two getting permission from Haley's parents, and the actual nuptials they shared on a beautiful beach. In the present day, the two were also seen settling into the apartment together.
While there were a few people doubting their relationship, Nathan reassured Haley that they didn't make a mistake by reminding her of the vows they just took. It also saw the introduction of their iconic catchphrase, as Nathan tells Haley he really does mean the words "Always and Forever."
When It Isn't Like It Should Be (3.18)
This is the second proposal between the two and it beats the first one in a few ways. This time the two took their time to get back to each other and knew for sure they wanted to be married. After everything the two went through between season one and this episode, they became stronger as a couple and it only made sense for them to renew their vows and be married again.
The episode is sweet and humorous, as Nathan enlists the gang to steal her ring from her so he can use it to repropose. After some mishaps, he's finally able to ask her, making Haley not only ecstatic but also relieved that she didn't lose the ring after all.
Over the Hills And Far Away (3.21)
The episode starts with Haley upsetting Brooke when she doesn't like her over-the-top wedding dress concept. But Brooke proves she's a great friend, moving past it and throwing the two a rehearsal dinner in a way that only Brooke can. Brooke turns the night into a reenactment of the couples top moments, all performed by their friends and family.
One of the best Naley episodes by far, it is a great look back at their story and all the moments that led to them being the couple they became. It's hilarious to see everyone act out their most significant moments, like Fergie and Bevin acting out their first tutor session, or Deb and Junk re-enacting their "first hurdle." The episode ends with the two returning home to realize that Brooke has turned their bedspread into a beautiful wedding gown that's perfect for Haley.
The Show Must Go On (3.22)
In this one, the two finally get their dream wedding, with all their family and friends there to celebrate the union this time. It's a beautiful ceremony and the reception was great. However, a spanner was soon thrown in the works when a drunk Rachel ended up stealing the limo the newlyweds were supposed to leave in at the end of the night.
Meanwhile, Lucas finds a positive pregnancy test and his mother reveals her own pregnancy, but the test isn't hers. The drama-filled night ends in Nathan diving into the river to save Cooper and Rachel, leaving Haley and fans screaming, worried that all characters involved may not make it out alive. Thankfully, the next season revealed that everyone ends up fine and everybody eventually learning that it was Haley who was pregnant.
All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone (4.21)
After Haley goes into labor during her Valedictorian speech in the previous episode, season 4 ends with Haley giving birth to her and Nathan's son, Jamie. The episode has some stressful moments considering it's also the episode when Karen goes into labor as well and has complications.
But as far as Naley goes, it's a great episode for the new parents, who also share some adorable and funny moments as the two later attend a party two weeks later to celebrate the end of high school. As it is the first time away from their newborn, whom they left in the care of Nathan's mother, the two both have trouble completely letting loose and spend the night checking in with Deb.
You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three Tonight (6.17)
This is a sweet reminder of how far the couple has come, with this episode taking place during the couple's 7th wedding anniversary. Due to Nathan's basketball career, he is unable to make it home to Tree Hill for the special day, and since the two have never spent that day apart over the years, Haley surprises him by coming to Charleston.
Here, the two reminisce over their high school days and talk about their future, which pointed towards moving out of Tree Hill. Thankfully the two were not gone for long and go to grow old together in their hometown.
Quiet Little Voices (8.18)
This episode marks the birth of the couple's second child Lydia Bob Scott, named after Haley's mother. It is a heartwarming episode, with everyone gathered together at the hospital awaiting the birth and Haley.
The episode features a lot of flashbacks as everyone reminisces on their favorite moments over the past couple of years, prompted by a curious Jamie. Fans will love the highlight reel of the last 8 seasons, which shows why the couple's relationship continues to go from strength to strength.
One Tree Hill (9.13)
It's fitting that the show ended with one final rain kiss for the couple. The finale wrapped up everyone's stories and for Nathan and Haley, it's a poetic end to their story. Nathan cooks Haley's favorite meal (mac and cheese) and gifts her with a crackerjack box. This one also contains a bracelet but a much nicer one than the emblematic plastic one from the first season.
In a serendipitous moment, it begins to rain, and the two run outside and dance before sharing their most memorable rain kiss. The episode ends with another 5-year jump into the future, with everyone gathered at their son Jamie's high school basketball game, where they remain together, stronger than ever.
