It's the last episode of the year before the holiday break and in TV high school dramas it can only mean one thing: Winter Dance Episode. And, being that it's West Beverly Hills High School, that means hiring dancers to choreograph and perform a short ballet to announce the dance.

Annie grabs a snowflake invitation. She's sporting a new 'do. I didn't know highlights started 5 inches away from your scalp now. Jazz-Hands creeps up to make fun of all the stupid conformists and their conformist dance. Annie, on the other hand, misses her old life of going to dances and having fun. Jazz tries to get out of it by reminding her that Harry will chaperone so they couldn't go if they wanted to. Harry, conveniently, is at a principal conference with other principals basking in the glow of their $100K+ salaries. She excuses herself to the bathroom.

Naomi runs into the bathroon behind Annie. She admits to making a huge mistake by not listening to Annie about Liam and apologizes. Showing real growth, she tells Annie that it was her insecurities and issues with Ethan that made her treat Annie so bad. I don't know what Annie's problem is but she doesn't forgive her. Naomi put her through hell. The same hell Annie's going to for running over someone? Time will tell.

West Bev Rumpus Room. Navid bitches and moans that he can't go to the police without cold, hard evidence proving Jazz-Hands pushed him down the stairs. So instead, he'll use his hard-nosed journalist skills to prove Jazz is a drug dealer. Right, because he wasn't trying to do that before he fell down the stairs. To aid Navid in his quest to take down one of seventy the most ruthless drug dealers on campus is Lila, his "star reporter".

Lila seems to be having trouble getting people to admit on the record that they've bought drugs from Jazz. Navid, having reached Zuckerman-esque levels of zealotry, won't rest until he finds someone.

Lunchtime. One of the ballet dancers from earlier spins down the hallway and hands Liam an invitation. Straw-Hat pretends she doesn't care about the dance when you totally know she wants to go with Liam. Liam continues to be oblivious about her feelings as ever.

Simi spots Silver across the cafeteria. She's getting people to sponsor her for a 5K run to benefit cancer research. She's a Warrior in Pink in honor of Jackie. Aww. She's also heading down to St. Bart's with Naomi after the dance. That reminds me of this one time in high school where I didn't go anywhere for Christmas break because we didn't have any money. Fun, right? Simi asks her to the dance. She laughs off his invitation and hands him a sponsor form instead.

Speaking of rejection, Liam ditches Straw-Hat to go talk to Naomi.

Naomi tells him she wanted to thank him after everything went down...but then she thought about it. She's angry that he could have ended everything months ago if he had just told her. He didn't think she would believe him over Jen. Naomi ain't buying it, but is she over it?

The answer is no. Naomi & Silver have a little pow-wow in the bathroom. She's not over Liam. Silver thinks Naomi should tell him how she feels. She can't. He should have told her the truth and he didn't. So she won't tell him the truth about her feelings? Now they're even, I guess. She also mentions seeing Liam and Straw-Hat kiss at the races so there's no point in telling Liam anything. She'll just distract herself with a guy in St. Bart's. They leave the bathroom and Straw-Hat walks out of a stall all pouty. See pic above. She also doesn't flush the damn toilet.
