On tonight's episode of the CW drama ONE TREE HILL, entitled 'Last Known Surroundings', actor Chad Michael Murray returns to the show in which he began his career in a guest starring appearance. Austin Nichols will direct the special episode.

In the episode, Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) seeks help from Lucas (guest star Murray) as Nathan (James Lafferty) makes an escape attempt. Brooke (Sophia Bush) comes face-to-face with Xavier (guest star Devin McGee). Juliain (Austin Nichols) uncovers evidence that assists Dan (Paul Johansson) in his search for Nathan.

The series stars James Lafferty as Nathan Scott, Sophia Bush as Brooke Davis, Bethany Joy Galeotti as Haley James Scott, RoBert Buckley as Clay Evans, Austin Nichols as Julian Baker, Shantel VanSanten as Quinn James and Jackson Brundage as Jamie Scott.
