'90210': Champs and chumps

Adrianna gets her big break in the form of a chance to write a duet for herself and Latin heartthrob Javier. The only snag is that she has to do it in two days. Cue massive freak-out, shockingly with no drugs. Progress? Instead she seeks solace in Navid. Lila is shockingly cool about it, having overcome her insecurities about Navid and Adrianna's relationship. Wouldn't you know -- as soon as Lila gets too comfortable and stable as a girlfriend, Navid realizes he misses the challenge of a wackadoo junkie girlfriend who'll undoubtedly leave him for John Mayer the minute she hears her own song on the radio.

Also, a girlfriend who likes boardwalk carnivals! Yep, that's where Navid inexplicably takes Adrianna to inspire her to write a duet for her and Javier. Perhaps cotton candy is a suitable substitute for speed after all, because Adrianna finds her songwriter's voice -- and that voice is Mandy Moore. Her song is chosen, Javier delights in her incisive lyrics, and a new amor has bloomed.

Also feeling the amor are Teddy and Silver. Teddy makes up for keeping Silver from his father by inviting her over for family cookout where she can humiliate herself herself, thank you very much. She insults iconic actor Spence Montgomery on everything from his grilling skills to his film choices. Somehow he still manages to find her charming, then summarily tells Teddy to drop her like a hot potato because he needs to focus on his burgeoning tennis career. Teddy considers it for a full match, but then he wins and realizes that his victories are nothing without Silver.

And as for the hate? Well Naomi has that covered. She enters the episode shattered by the news that Jen's back in town. Despite Liam's incredibly empathetic, kid-gloved approach to her weak-sauce dilemma, she ends the episode straight-up seething. And how? Basically, Jen's gotten back together with cheating hubby Olivier and convinced him to buy not only the beach club but also Naomi's house. Jen coldly tells the Perma Donna that she has 29 days to vacate, during which time Jen will be bringing in as much noisy, life-destroying construction equipment as possible. Jen turns on a dime just hours later, promising Naomi she can have the house. For anyone whose brains hadn't been addled by curl-enhancing chemicals, it would be a clear signal that something is up. But this is Naomi we're talking about.
