90210: I Hate You Then I Love You

This week on 90210, we are introduced to a new character. It's just like that episode of The Simpsons with Poochie.

"Ruff, ruff! I'm Poochie the Rockin' Dog!"

Beach. Liam crushes some righteous waves. Cowabunga. Big Kahuna. Gnarly. Etc. He hops in the General Lee and as he pulls out he gets by a big ass Ford truck. Ford tough! Some straw-haired, Daisy Dukes wearing betty gets out of the car and laments the broken fin on her surf board. Liam thinks the big ass dent on his car is the bigger tragedy. Guess neither of them has heard of Darfur.

Speaking of tragedies...

Straw-Hat offers up some cash to quit his bitchin', but Liam would prefer an apology. He gets neither and some makes a comment she deems a sexist insult. Do we really have to endure a whole episode of this crap? Just make them a couple already and get it over with!

Looks like someone has a cru-ush!

CU. Naomi and Richard settle in for movie night. Jungles or caves? Naomi picks the one that's shorter...more time for post-movie discussion. Hee. She wonders of Richard's mom is a big tree hugger, too. She's not. Naomi suggests they "double team" her. Why does that sound sexual/gross?

Just before Naomi can lose another chunk of her soul by kissing Richard, in walks Jamie, football stud/campus hottie/Richard's roommate. Jamie invites them to the Pi Phi Crush Party. Richard declines. "Watching people drink out of red plastic cups kinda makes me wanna barf." Usually it's the people who are drinking out of them that do the barfing. Naomi tries getting Richard to "double team" his mom again but he doesn't think that will work. What will work, for Naomi at least, is Jamie walking out to his room in a towel.

Oh AnnaLynne, I'll miss you when you think you're too big for this show and leave.

Toothy's. She flips through some take-out menus trying to find something to eat. Dixon tries to suggest going out to eat, but she squashes that suggestion quick. People can't see them together; she could get laughed at in trouble. He doesn't want their whole relationship to take place in her apartment. Where's her roommate, by the way? Toothy reminds him that they can't go her his place because he lives with his parents and she's not going through the window "Katie Holmes style". The reference is lost on him.

This reminds me of the time that my prom date and I were at his house watching Showtime at the Apollo and there was a flashback clip of Salt-N-Pepa singing "Push It". I made a comment about owning that tape in 5th grade when it came out. He remembers dancing to it at his senior prom. Awkward.

Casa Wilson. Speaking of awkward, Becky's still not over Harry calling her Kelly. He's apologized and it happened two days ago. Oh Harry. Simple, beautiful, stupid Harry. It could have been 2 years ago. She'll never get over it. He claims the only reason he did it is because he had work on his mind. If I recall correctly, he was drunk out of his mind and hadn't been talking about work. Becky buys it this load and agrees to meet him for lunch at the school.

West Bev. Silver's on the phone trying to get her mom's prescription refilled. GIVE HER MOTHER THE SHOT PILLS! Kelly sneaks up to check up on her. She tells Silver she looks tired. Of course she's tired their mom has CANCER. Remember? Or does your cold black heart erase your short term memory, KELLY?! She remembers. She also doesn't think that living with Jackie is making Silver happy. It's not really about that. It's about the fact that Jackie's dying and Silver is her daughter. "At least one of us is acting like it."

I was wrong about Silver. Kelly's the asshole.

Morally superior and taller.

Beach. Liam, Simi and their pectorals discuss Dixon's continued absences. He's missing practice to get some booty and eat take-out? Stupid, stupid bitch.

They spot some "gnarly" guy out on the water. The coach tells them that it's the winner of last year's Amateur 16 and Under OP Pro...and the newest member of the West Bev team. And would you look at that. It's not a guy at all. It's Straw-Hat! Now don't you think they would have recognized each other from school before?

Really CW? This is supposed to be a woman? Luke Perry's surf stand-in was more believable.
