In one of the first episodes of the second season, Brooke is talking to Peyton about Lucas, and she says "love triangles are so last season". In the first season, Brooke, Peyton, and Lucas were in a love triangle.

Near the end of the episode, Brooke rips up the photo with Lucas and Peyton next to her. She is in the middle and in feng shui (which Brooke believes in), it says never to have a picture in your room with 3 people in it, as the person in the middle will be separated from the other two, which happened; Brooke was separated from Peyton and Lucas.
