'90210': Kisses, kisses everywhere!
Last time on 90210, I Moan got arrested because she took the wrap for Adrianna’s drugs, Principal Wilson hired a narc to 21 Jump Street the school, Tracy Clark wanted to find her and Principal Wilson’s illegitimate son and Adrianna OD on drugs.
We open with the happy Wilsons looking at Papa Wilson’s high school year book. Mama Wilson can’t get over how Tracy looks exactly the same and says, “Maybe I should pay a visit to Dr. Make it Tight.” Ooooh, burn! Annie is busy studying for her learner’s permit test. How old do you have to be in Cali to get a learner’s permit? In Iowa it is 14 and I do not think Annie Wilson is 14 years old. Dixon is dismayed that his parents are chaperoning the homecoming dance.
At school, Silver says of course Ethan is going to ask Annie to homecoming. When Dixon asks Silver, she cannot believe he wants to go. She says it’s a popularity contest with music, which is… apropos. Dixon is obviously disappointed, but agrees to take care of her when she gets her wisdom teeth out the next day.
Ryan Mathews approaches Narc Girl and she shamelessly flirts with him. He tells her to knock it off, but I don’t buy it. If they aren’t doin’ it by episode’s end, I’ll be very upset. Elsewhere, Ethan tells Annie that he wants to take her to homecoming but that he can’t because of I Moan’s feelings. Hmm. He does say he’d like to dance with her at the dance, so he says they should just happen to show up at the dance sans dates. This ought to end well.
Principal Wilson and Mr. Mathews bring I Moan into the office to tell her about Adrianna’s OD. Her gobsmacked face ushers us into commercials. When we return, I Moan is distraught. Principal Wilson says she won’t be facing charges because Adrianna did confess to the drugs being hers. Since it’s her first offense, they give I Moan afternoon detention for the remainder of the semester because she lied about the drugs being hers. Meanwhile, Adrianna and her scary mom check Adrianna into a fancy-schmancy rehab facility.
Annie finds I Moan to inquire after her welfare. I Moan thanks her for being so nice, then invites Annie to go to homecoming as part of her Girls Only group. Annie gets her Guilt Face on and accepts. Ethan is a little weirded-out when she tells him, but says they still have to dance together. I Moan reports to detention and makes a huge production out of being there. She immediately gets chatted up by a sexy delinquent named Ozzy. Now this could be interesting.
Annie and Mama Wilson have a driving lesson in which Mama asks about Ethan, they banter about Annie’s car and then Mama Wilson asks her what kind of job she’s going to get. Heh heh.
Navid pays a visit to Adrianna in rehab, looking for her inside scoop for the student paper. She is unresponsive, borrowing his phone to text I Moan and then sending him on his way. When I Moan gets the text asking her to come visit Adrianna, she deletes it. Adrianna goes to her forced therapy session and is fairly snotty to the therapist. She does express guilt over what happened to I Moan, though.
The next day, drugged-up wisdom-toothless Silver babbles to Dixon about hating homecoming. He sits next to her sleeping form on the couch and looks sad. At the Wilson house Annie brandishes her new learner’s permit and comments that in two weeks she’ll be 16. Oooh, I hope there’s a good birthday episode! She runs off to get ready for the big dance.
Rehab. Navid visits Adrianna. She must be pretty lonely to put up with him and his psychedelic David Bowie shirt and purple pants. He isn’t doing the story anymore, he’s just visiting her and brought her a care package. Awww! Adrianna begs him to bring I Moan to rehab so she can apologize.
I Moan’s mansion. The Girls Only group gets all dolled up for the big dance. I Moan, Annie and two nameless I Moanettes bond over make-up application. My sound then cuts out, but I think all that happens is that I Moan lends Annie some [redacted]-me shoes. Navid then drops by and asks to speak with I Moan.
Mama and Papa Wilson get ready for the dance too and then Grandma makes an appearance! Woo hoo! Tabitha advises Debbie to lay down the law with Tracy Clark, saying, “Look… I could squash you with an eye roll. But you can take on Tracy. When it comes to class, brains and beauty she’s no match for you, dear.” Awesome.
Big Dance. I Moan and Annie cast their homecoming court votes. Of course I Moan and Ethan are both on the ballot. I Moan then runs into Ozzy the Delinquent. He flirts with her and looks yummy in a porkpie hat. Back in drugland, Navid comes back to rehab and lies to Adrianna about I Moan not coming because she’s sick. Adrianna knows he’s lying and decides to do something.
Annie calls Silver from the dance and spills the beans to her about how badly Dixon wanted to go to homecoming. Silver looks thoughtful as Ethan sneaks up on Annie. He flirts, she flirts, it’s kind of gross. They then start dancing and I Moan looks nauseous. Ozzy the Delinquent comes up to her and asks her to dance in a pretty aggressive, sexy way. He leads her out on the floor and proceeds to kind of lambada with her. Not gonna lie… It’s pretty hot. I Moan can’t stop staring at Ethan and Annie, though, and heads off to confront Annie.
Before she can, though, Adrianna shows up. Uhh, how did she bust out of rehab? She says she got a night pass to attend homecoming and asks I Moan if they can talk. I Moan brushes her off, but Adrianna begs for forgiveness. I Moan says she can’t take being friends with Adrianna anymore because it’s just too hard to watch her self-destruct. She leaves Adrianna standing there, crying.
Mr. Mathews comes across Narc Kim doing a drug deal and drags her off. Probably to have naked time. In another school hallway, Tracy and Papa Wilson argue about their son. When Mama Wilson charges up, Tracy touches Papa’s arm and oozes all over him. Punch her, Mama Wilson! But instead she tells Harry that they need to tell their kids before they hear it from somebody else.
Mr. Mathews charges up with Kim and Principal Wilson takes the drugs and dismisses Mr. Mathews. They argue in front of Kim and it is… very professional. Kim finally spills the beans about being an undercover cop. Outside, I Moan and Annie talk about Adrianna. I Moan says she likes Annie as her friend because she’s so stable and drama-free. Of course, I Moan then uses that as her way to guilt Annie into not hanging out with Ethan. It’s a crappy, passive-aggressive, under-handed tactic. I love it. I Moan then says, “Boyfriends come and go, but friends stick together through everything.” Ugh.
Taylor house. Silver has donned a shiny blue... is that a pirate shirt? It’s Silver’s version of a homecoming dress. She tells Dixon they are going to homecoming and then asks him not to be afraid to tell her stuff. At the dance, Mama Wilson confronts Tracy Clark at the dance and Tracy is smarmy and snotty and gross, so Mama Wilson responds with, “I will hit you in the face so hard, I will knock your teeth out.” HA! Awesome. I wish that would actually happen, though.
In the parking lot, Adrianna sidles up to her drug dealer (he just hangs out in the parking lot?) but Navid comes riding in on his white horse to drag her out of the drug dealer’s car. He starts yelling at her that he likes her but she would never notice. He says he’s liked her since middle school, back when they were friends, and he gets a little melodramatic, but it’s sweet nonetheless. They hug and he says he’d do anything for her. She then realizes he paid for her to get into the rehab facility because there’s no way she could have afforded it. He says he wants her to get better as I Moan walks up and the girls hug. Hmm. I Moan kind of ruined the nice scene between Adrianna and Navid, in my opinion.
Ethan finds Annie and she tells him they can’t be together because of I Moan. He kisses her anyway and it’s not bad. I wouldn’t kick Ethan out of bed for eating crackers. This kicks off our Musical Montage of the Night, where Silver and Dixon dance and kiss, Narc Kim and Mr. Mathews flirt out by the football field and he asks her how old she is. When she says 25, he grabs her and kisses her. Dayum!
I'm sorry but i don't remember there even being a scene with Navid & Adrianna before last night's episode. The writers probably thought hmmmm who's not getting it on with another character on the show & lets throw them together even if it doesn't make scene.

Dory | Oct 29, 2008 5:55:12 AM | #Don't watch anymore... because I can only watch one show and DVR one other. And NCIS and HOUSE are the priority in this time slot. I used to watch 90210 when they ran it again during the week. The CW has so many mediocre shows... surely we could give up a 'Will and Grace' rerun in order to do an encore of a new 90210 show. Hear's hoping that someone in charge gets the message... DO something... maybe change the time slot so it isn't up against 2 of the most popular shows on TV... before they have to cancel this possibly enjoyable show because of poor ratings! Ops I forgot this is the CW the land of poor ratings!!! Hmm only one other viewer comment... see what I mean!
jim | Oct 29, 2008 6:44:14 AM | #The driving age in Iowa is 14?!? Guess there's nothing to hit but a bunch of cows in that state.
Marisa | Oct 29, 2008 7:42:04 AM | #I thought the permit was 16 is last night's episode, but then again, I might just be thinking that b/c thats what it is here.
I knew that teacher was going to kiss the undercover cop. Too funny when he asked her what her age was. LOL
Danielle | Oct 29, 2008 8:12:18 AM | #kelly and dylan???
Navid and Adrianna together? I don't know about this. Navid hadn't been on the show for about two weeks straight and then he comes back and now they reveal that he has had a crush on Druggie Adrianna since middle school. That just caught me by surprise; it's so random, especially since I always assumed that Navid was gay. Dude even got his dad to pay for her expensive rehab.
Annie/Ethan/Naomi's never-ending love triangle. I don't think I can take much more of this. First of all, Annie's acting is still painful and Naomi is, just ugh.
"If you go out with Ethan, you'd have to tell me everything. That's what best friends do! Y'know? Best friends are forever."
"Uh, you totally ditched Adrianna when she needed you."
"STFU, n00b."
Now, Ryan the teacher and Kimberly the undercover cop together, that's a story line that I can get into. Looks like next week, Ryan gets sent packing by Harry because of his fling with Kimberly? Who knows what happens, but if they stay together, we need Kelly to come back and get in the middle of this.
I also still can't get over the fact that a 25-year old cop can somehow pass off as a 16-year old high schooler. Isn't it slightly creepy that Ryan kissed Kimberly? Obviously, Ryan liked Kimberly from the start, so he was having sexual thoughts about a supposed 16-year old student of his, even before he found out that she was 25. Yeeeeah.
Harry's illegitimate child... out with it, already. I'm also hoping that Tracy and Debbie get into a huge catfight.
Dixon: slightly disappointing this week. You're alone in an empty house with your beautiful girlfriend who is totally into you and what happens? You fall asleep on the couch. Man-card revoked. But I still like them despite Dixon being pussy-whipped (only not getting any pussy from her).
Christopher | Oct 29, 2008 10:17:30 AM | #Christopher Re: Dixon's sex life - Vulgar much? LMAO! But I agree...
Is it just me or does Ryan Matthews need to be bitch slapped? HE is wearing my nerves every week and I am sick of his smart ass mouth. He says he knows the kids, but he is so clueless that it's not even funny. I have dubbed him Mr. Irrelevant since Adrianna won me over last night and shedded her Ms. Irrelevant image. Speaking of Adrianna...
I agree that the love affair between Navid and Adrianna was left field. I guess that since Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna) has been upped to a series regular that they had to pair her with someone and since Navid wasn't getting any screen time it was a perfect match. The backstory is plausible though and there isn't anything that could really contradict it. I'm going to roll with it.
I need to see Debbie get as equally bitchy with Tracy. Their feud would be much more interesting if she did, IMO.
Tracy is such a flip floppy character and I am scared that she is headed to a Lily Bass from Gossip Girl figure and I don't like that.
Is it me or are the adults on the show WAY more interesting than the teens (minus Silver, Ozzy, and Navid - who are all pretty cool). Bring back Kelly, Brenda, hell bring back Donna!!!
Navid is definitely the new iteration of David Silver. Adriana is so not Donna. I think Ozzy can be the new Dylan, since Ethan is SO not!! Kelly is so much better than I Moan. But Annie is way cuter that that evil nutjob Brenda. And she doesn't seem homicidal.
Andrea, totally dig you, but missing Kim calling Ryan a dumbass - best part of the show! LOL
Silver and Navid are definitely the coolest kids on the show.
BRING BACK KELLY, BRENDA, HELL, EVEN STEVE!! And what ever happened to Andrea's kid that appeared in the first ep?
Questions I am left with... Did Silver go to dentist dad for the wisdom teeth extractions? How did Papa Wilson get the principal gig (or Dixon, for that matter) with a drug conviction after an OJesque police chase? And these tech savvy kids haven't posted it on YouTube? that's just crazy talk! LOL Love having 90210 back - never psynched to begin with!!
Michelle | Oct 29, 2008 4:59:07 PM | #This show is crap, this is the last episode I can stomach, that Annie Character is just repulsive. None of the characters are likable, and to be frank, after what, 8 episodes now, I have no clue what these characters are about, much less care what happens to them. And without Shannen or Jennie, or anyone else from the old show, its just not worth watching
Ron | Oct 29, 2008 7:35:36 PM | #Jim: The show re-runs on Wednesday nights
DD | Oct 30, 2008 9:57:19 AM | #The problem is that the last time we heard about Navid, he was asking Dixon if he could ask Annie out for some dance, no? Or was that just my imagination? And now he's been liking Adrianna since he was a kid.
Christopher | Oct 30, 2008 6:59:57 PM | #You have to be 15 1/2 to get a learner's permit in California. At least that's what I recall.
Is Ozzy going to be the new Dylan?
Anyone else a bit creeped out by the Mr. Matthews/Kim thing? I know he didn't make a move until he knew her age, but clearly he wanted to when she was jailbait.
Is it strange we never found out who the homecoming king and queen were?
DougOLis | Nov 1, 2008 12:01:26 PM | #Reruns don't play on Wednesdays no more. Stylista is now on at that time.
Mark O. Estes | Nov 2, 2008 1:37:31 AM | #Random thougths:
This last episode really made me notice Annie and all of her weird faces and squints -- to the point were it was distracting.
Ozzy may be the most promising of the male characters so far.
Adrianna looks better without her bangs so heavy (when she had it pulled back or something at Rehab).
Seemed kinda ironic that Mom snarks on Tracy and going to plastic surgeon when it looks to me like Lori Loughlin has had some work (or some Botox) herself.
Allie | Nov 3, 2008 8:14:52 AM | #i so wish i lived in US. Here in England driving is 18 and there is a rumour it might be raised to 21
