'90210': Ethan wants to find himself... in Silver's pants. Hey-o!
Previously on "90210," I Moan was scammed by her sister, Adrianna and Navid rethought their married with children nonsense, Silver asked Dixon to prom and Liam kept kind-of hitting on Annie. Tonight is Sophomore Prom, woo hoo!
The Wilsons
Principal Harry (with Annie's help) gives a PSA entitled "Zero Tolerance" about after-prom parties and the subsequent suspension if you get caught at one. Principal Harry and Kelly also have to threaten Liam with military school (via Liam's stepfather) if he doesn't put forth some effort and get involved.
Harry also asks Annie to be his snitch about the prom after-parties. Man, you can't do that to your kid! Low, Harry, low. At the actual prom, Harry overhears about a party stocked with booze and makes an announcement about how he'll be at the party with the police. *Cringe* Everybody thinks Annie snitched.
Silver & Dixon
Silver picks out a strapless pink princess prom dress and she looks
beautiful, even if it isn't very "Silver." At the actual prom, she
freaks out and won't leave the limo, but Ade talks her down, saying
they'll hardly notice Silver next to an 8-months pregnant girl. Snerk.
The Prom King and Queen are announced as Dixon and Silver (as a write-in) and I hold my breath that a bucket of pig's blood is going to come cascading from the ceiling. I wouldn't exactly cry if Silver used her mind to lock the doors and burn the place to the ground, though.
No pig's blood, surprisingly, and Silver's acceptance speech (about how much she hates proms) is awesome. Dixon looks stunned and Ethan looks lovestruck. When Silver removes her crown, I Moan takes it and puts it on her own head, which is also awesome.
Silver tells DIxon she's ready to come back to West Bev but he is totally pissed at her because he's a "zombie, prom-loving loser." Ethan compliments her right on the heels of Dixon's exit and she looks thoughtful.
I Moan, Sneaky Sister and Liam
When I Moan goes prom dress shopping, her card is declined. The ensuing confrontation with Sneaky Sister has Jen coming clean about her financial woes (she's still not completely honest, though). I Moan takes it really well and is more hurt by the lying than the money fraud.
After prom, I Moan takes Liam on the Paramount backlot. They run into Kelly, who spills the beans about his stepfather, and I Moan puts it together that he only asked her to get involved in stuff. I Moan berates him about how much she likes him, then realizes he looked on her Facebook page to find out she likes black orchids for her corsage. Awww.
Sneaky Sister and Skeazy Teacher
Ryan the Chaperone (should he really be around dressed-much-older high schoolers?) takes Jen Clark to prom. They talk to Kelly and it is revealed that Jen had her as a guidance counselor. Ouch. In the bathroom, Jen reveals that she slept with a guy from the registrar's office at Yale and got to read her letters of recommendation. Kelly's letter wasn't terribly nice because Jen was a conniving, term paper-thieving narcissist. I hope Kelly beats her ass to a couture pulp.
Kelly tries to tell Ryan what Jen is actually like and he accuses her of being jealous. Maybe those two narcissists deserve each other. Meanwhile, Jen talks to her husband Olivier on her cell phone outside.
Annie & Ethan
Totally boring this week. Annie goes to prom with a theatre geek to
prove to Liam she's a nice girl, but ends up hurting theatre geek in
the process. Ethan turns down lacrosse camp this summer in order to
visit his dad in Montana and find himself. He clearly wants to have
1000 of Silver's babies after her big prom speech.
Adrianna & Navid
Navid picks a fight with Ty, which sends Ade into labor. I'm guessing they get better stuff next week.
Prom
There are photographers and a red carpet at the SOPHOMORE PROM. Gag me with a silver spoon.
What did you guys think of prom? Was it all you hoped for and more? Was it magical? And was it just me, or did Harry and Kelly have a MOMENT at prom? Hmmm. More of Andrea's writings can be found at her Chicago TV blog.
I'm waiting for Ethan to get slugged by Dixon, all that pent up frustration has to go somewhere no ?
Liam and Naomi was sweet, Navid and Adrianna please break them up. And is it me or does Kelly have a thing for Harry ?
Jen + Kelly = Best.storyline.ever!!!
I loved that scene they had in the bathroom. I see why they don't have the older characters on every show, because they always steal the episode
I loved Silver's speech. Best part of the episode!!!
I was waiting for Silver to flip out during that grrl speech.
@ Maria- no, I got the fluttery look in Kelly's eye too. Maybe good cop/bad cop was a little too fun?
"There are photographers and a red carpet at the SOP****RE PROM. Gag me with a silver spoon."..... It was a "Hollywood" theme prom. So I get the red carprt and photogs.
Of course Kelly the Ultimate Slut will go after Harry! Why not? The fact that Harry is married would never bother Kelly.
Andrea - your references to Naomi as "I Moan" are getting so old. Seriously.. move on, let it go, find something new.
Now, to a few comments about the episode/storylines: Was anyone else bored and disappointed over the episode? First of all, why is Silver buying a prom dress in some dress shop? Her sister inlaw Donna is a designer with her own dress shop - why would she not be getting her prom dress there? Lack of continuity in story writing. Second, Naomi was a little too quick to forgive her sister for spending all her money. That seemed a little unrealistic. Third, and finally, give me a break with that sucker punch Navid delivered to Ty? Where did that come from and why? I usually root for Navid, but seriously, for that, Navid needs the snot be out of him (by Ty).
To Layne: All good points. Of course, you are correct about lack of any continuity. I really don't think this show knows yet what it wants to be. A remake, a new show, a sequel which half-involves original cast, should the old cast members' stories occur off-camera or partly on, etc. They really need to decide and soon.
Thanks Ann... I totally agree with you.
Ok Ethan is getting better looking and they are going to dump him? I would like to see him and Silver together, but I'm guessing his trip to MOntana is his exit cue from the show...best of luck to him in his future endeavors!
