'' She continued to play the part of Jamie 's fun aunt, playing a game of football with him and his friends, hiding the pain and lack of direction she was really feeling. She at first avoided telling Haley the truth about the breakdown of her marriage saying that David was simply off making a documentary but she later revealed that she left David because he was n't the same person she fell in love with and she refused to spend her life with a complete stranger. David then started to contact Quinn, ringing her nonstop, forcing Haley to question why she actually left him. That night, Quinn told Haley about the day she decided she did n't want to be with David anymore. Quinn started to settle into life in Tree Hill and returned to working when Brooke Davis recruited her to photograph Alex Dupre in a Clothes Over Bro 's photo shoot.

After the shoot and trying to console Haley while at TRIC, Quinn ran into Clay and they talked until Clay left with Alex, prompting Quinn to ask if he is ' that guy '. Quinn continued to avoid her husband 's call but was stunned when David arrived at TRIC, saying she had to talk to him eventually. David then asked Quinn to come home, but she said she needed more time to think about it. Quinn met with David later and asked him for a divorce, saying that they could n't save their marriage. At the fashion show, David arrived drunk and tried to persuade Quinn to talk to her, but Clay intervened and punched him. Quinn then talked to David again, and asked him to leave Tree Hill and to let go of her. Leaving David, she saw Clay and got into his car asking to go back to his place. After going back to Clay 's house, the two did n't sleep together and instead spent the night talking. The morning after, Clay and Quinn had breakfast together and continued to bond. When Quinn returned to the Scott house, David showed up wanting to know if Quinn went home with Clay the night before. When Quinn said that she did David told her that she had found a way to make him give up hope on them. He then said goodbye to her and left Tree Hill.

In need of emotional support, Quinn turned to Clay but he decided to respect Nathan 's request to leave Quinn alone. David returned all of Quinn 's belongings, but he threw them all over Clay 's driveway, forcing Quinn to go to his house to gather all her things. While going through her belongings, Quinn reminisced about her time with David.
