90210: If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right

This week on 90210, Kelly wins Daughter of the Year, Jen wins Sister of the Year and Borianna doesn't win caca cause she's a lying skank. In other news, Annie had really good hair this ep.

Ancient Chinese secret, huh? Wait, that's not right.

Silver's Room. Silver reads up on the stages of breast cancer. Thanks HomeOncologist.com! Now I don't need that second opinion! Kelly bursts and thin-lippedly yaps about cilantro. Nice to see you, Kel. How was your vacation? You weren't on vacation? Well, where the hell were you when Silver was telling her mom to drop dead at AA and finding out she had cancer?!

"Well?"

Sorry. Where was I? OK, so Kelly thinks it's all very sad and tragic that Jackie has cancer, but really, no es her problema. Jackie = Drama. Kelly + Silver + Kelly's Phantom Child = No Drama. It also equals No Fun, but I ain't no mathmahtishun. Or English teacher. Kelly makes Silver promise to not get sucked back in to Jackie's alcoholic, cancer-stricken world.

West Bev. Jazz-Hands spazzes out about the current state of cinema. "Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bunuel. I mean, where are these masters today?" Well, Kubrick's dead, so...

Annie finds his "passion" charming, even if it's the reason he has no friends. But who cares what everyone thinks (I do, I do!), she's impressed (I'm not, I'm not!). She weasels a movie date out of him. She got over killing his uncle pretty quick. Teenagers are so resilient.

"Hey, look at me being all resilient and charming!"

What's His Name and 2 football goons spot our happy couple from across the parking lot. The goons give him shit for getting dumped by Annie for "Mr. Columbine" aka Jazz-Hands.

Fancy Rich People Stables. Jen grooms a horse as some oil money rich foreign guy invites her to "stay for breakfast". Wiiiink...I'm talking sex here. Jen coyly plays hard to get. She's not that kind of girl. What's wrong Jen? This guy too ethnic for you? Her eyes bulge out when she spots a horse in the background. His name is Continental Accent and he's a potential gold mine. And I'm sure that's the last we'll be hearing of that.

Anyone else getting a Balky Bartokomous vibe from this guy?

Naomi and her afro stroll up and scare Foreign Guy off. I wonder if she ever gets mad that Jen got the good hair...

Now on horseback, Jen tells Naomi that she's started divorce proceedings (thanks to Naomi's advice) and she'll just be needing a little over $100K to retain the lawyer. $100K retainer? Is that all? Did you want fries with that?

Naomi thinks that's a little steep. Well, Jen thinks it'll take a good (read: expensive) lawyer since that darn ol' pre-nup she signed is pretty solid. Pre-wha? If the lawyer can prove Olivier committed adultery then they can show that Jen is entitled to part of his assets. It's so simple, Naomi. Duh.

Naomi worries that if the lawyer can't prove it then she's out $100K. It's her money; someone has to be responsible. Jen doesn't need any financial or, for that matter, relationship advice from a "trust fund brat" who couldn't even keep her "high school James Dean happy".

"He's more of a Corky Thacher and you know it!"

Beach Club. Navid and Borianna discuss menus options. How about a Mega-burger and fries? No? OK. Navid blabs on and on about shrimp. He always gets shrimp. "Does that make me boring and predictable?" It's really no fun when it's that easy, Show.

There's some awkward silence between the two. Navid acknowledges the weirdness between them and how it's OK. She's back at school and put acting on hold. It's a big shift for her. He drones on and on about their "solid" relationship, but she seems to get a little distracted by Simi in the background.

And by "little", I mean "a lot".

Then, I guess, the guilt of her woman-simian love finally gets to her cause she breaks up with Navid. The last two months for her have been a blur. Maybe he's right, it's been too much. She's not acting and lost her agent. She's overwhelmed. Yes, going to high school and not acting on TV or films can be very stressful for a teenaged girl. She needs to figure herself out before she can be Navid's girlfriend. Well, who the hell has she been for the last year?

Heyy Mones just thought I'd let you know that you do a great job with a terrible, terrible show.

dani2526:

Thanks for another great recap. I know it's bad, but I really like this season...maybe it's because I'm on bed rest and it's fun and cheesy...don't know...but I'm thoroughly enjoying the season so far. Last season was much worse. Right? Right?!

Where'd you get the nickname Simi, by the way?

Anonymous:

aww, shucks...thanks!!!

dani2526: last season was worse. the show seems to be getting it's act together, but there are still shades of awfulness in there. hidden gems, if you will.

re: simi...well, i kinda think sometimes he resembles a monkey, like curious george. it's wrong but there are some shots were his ears are backlit and his eyes are wide open and it's undeniable. so, it reminded me of "strangers with candy" and how jerry would call her friend, orlando that :-)

ohionancy:

I completely forgot Kelly even had a child until you mentioned it here. Where's that kid been???
