ann_gillespie.jpgTonight on "90210," Jackie Taylor reaches out to her daughter Silver... because she has cancer.

Silver & Jackie
After spying her daughter at an AA meeting (for Adrianna), Jackie reaches out to Silver in the form of a car. Silver shows up at Jackie's AA meeting to humiliate her in front of all her peers and storms out, telling Jackie she is dead to Silver. Which leads Jackie to call Ade and tell her that she has cancer, which Ade relays to a stunned SIlver.

Annie & Creepy Nephew
The creepy nephew of the guy Annie hit with her car is still hanging around, talking to her about "Metropolis" and taking her to see a band. There is obviously a romance brewing, which is totally interesting, but not enough of the plot this week to dwell on.

Liam, Naomi & "CU"
Naomi desperately wants to go to "CU," a fake university in California. I guess "90210" doesn't have the clout the "West Wing" had to use a real university's name. Anyway, Naomi befriends the Dean's son because her test scores aren't good enough to get in there and Liam thinks she has moved on, causing him to delete the audio file of her sister Jen admitting she slept with Liam. Wuss.

Ade, Navid, & Teddy
Navid is King of the World after having slept with Ade, which he does not hide from Teddy. Teddy then stages a double date with his good buddy Navid and kisses Ade when they both go use the bathroom. Nice. Ade doesn't know what to do and Silver knows about the Teddy kiss

Dixon & Statutory Rapist Sasha
Sasha follows Debbie to her mani/pedi and learns that Debbie is Dixon's "mom." HAHAHA! She then is charmed by underage Dixon and ends up sleeping with him. Classy.


Thoughts & Tidbits
  • Liam deleted the audio file? Are you kidding me? This has gone on long enough. Ugh.
  • Navid's  "I just had sex" walk through the school halls is priceless. I wish it had been set to "Stayin' Alive." What a pimp.
  • I love love love Teddy, Navid, Dixon and Liam hanging out together and being buddies. If we could just get Naomi, Annie, Silver and Ade together I'd be all set it. It would totally be vintage "90210."

Dixon & Statutory Rapist Sasha

I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at those words. But this is so true.
And I love me some Dixon/Liam scenes, loved the 4 boys hanging out too. Silver she's your mom!, Ade WTF?, Teddy is a jerk, Annie he's going to kill you.


ITA re Statutory Rapist Sasha! When Dixon showed up w/pizza and was trying to woo her back - I yelled at the TV something to the same effect. {Although, the age of consent in my state is 16, in California it is 18. And if a person/perpetrator is more than 3 years older than the minor, they can be charged with a felony and spend a year in prison!).


My only other comment is, WHere the Hell is Kelly?? Silver sees her mom at AA; her mother asks her to come to a meeting; then Silver later finds out about the cancer...And Kelly is nowhere to be seen - or even mentioned?! I get that the show is trying to focus on the younger crowd, but that was just bad. You know Silver would've gone straight to Kelly and asked her if she knew Jackie was in AA, was dying etc?


Oh, Andrea! Do you know anything about 90210 history?!

CU is from the original series, a staple of 90210 lore, if you will. It makes perfect sense that 90210 2.0 would bring it back.

What DOESN'T make sense is filming at a different campus so there's no visual continuity at all. Plus, they decided to go with real fraternities and sororities, instead of KEG and Alpha. Why bother referencing old-school 90210 if you're going to do it half-assed? It's insulting to long-time fans.

Furthermore, the potential death of Jackie Taylor is highly upsetting and unacceptable. It was bad enough they had her go back to drugs and sever her relationship with Kelly & Silver. But now they're going to kill her, too? What right to they have to kill a character that isn't even theirs!

teendramawhore, you are SO right! I had completely forgoten that's where they sent the first batch of 90210 kids. For shame.


Yeah, there'd better be a miracle cure for Jackie, because her presence on the screen is always epic stuff.


ok, my comments have already been covered - but bear repeating. the originaly 90210ers went to C.U. and yeah, where the hell IS Kelly if her mother's been diagnosed with cancer? don't tell me she told Adrianna before telling anyone else? Dixon's hats, btw, need to go ... and when is Silver ever going to mention her brother, David???


Ok, where IS Silver living? In Kelly's garage?

Love the guys hanging together too....


Dave, that box on Dixon's head need to go as well. You guys were screaming statutory rapist Sasha, I was screaming Pacey Witter ad Ms. Jacobs at the screen. I can't stand Dixon this season nor his egg head father, but GOD I LOATHE RYAN MATTHEWS more than anything! What is his purpose again?


Jeez, what's with the Snow White act? Come on, I was there. I know what you’re really about. What do you think I'm hanging around with you for... your brilliant freshman repartee?"


I know it's been said before on here, but c'mon enough with the spoilers in the friggin' HEADLINES of articles! Especially with shows that have such high DVR viewership! At least don't make a huge plot point obvious in the headline itself. Perhaps even be mysterious so people would want to read your article!
