Just when we though we had the field narrowed, we learn that Lindsay is rejoining "One Tree Hill" characters Brooke and Peyton in the "who Lucas could have called at the end of last season" game. Entertainment Weekly reports that Michaela McManus, who plays the plucky book publisher Luke almost married, will be back sometime next season.

Thankfully, Michaela has been given the blessing of her new bosses at "Law & Order: SVU" to return to Tree Hill and tie up some loose ends. Among the things we'd like to see her resolve: exactly how Chad Michael Murray's Luke (not to mention all his high school friends) became a titan in his field by age 22. Because we could use some of that sauce, you know?

How do you think Lindsay's exit will go down?
