Over the last eight seasons, One Tree Hill has had its fair share of drama, heartbreak, death and crazy plotlines (the dog ate Dan’s new heart!). As we prepare to say goodbye to the long-running CW series, TVGuide.com caught up with the cast as they shared with us their favorite episodes.

Austin Nichols (Julian Baker)
Favorite Episode: ”Darkness on the Edge of Town” ( Season 8 )

“It was really challenging to watch your [on-screen] fiancé almost die in front of you. That was hard and satisfying in the end, but it’s scary to go to those places. Plus: It was action-packed, and I’m a guy!”
