This week on 90210, Borianna runs back into the loving arms of Drama, Jen outsmarts Liam and vice versa, and Dixon digs himself into a deeper hole. In other news, Jen finally bought chapstick...with Naomi's money, of course.
Fancy Restaurant. Borianna and Navid feed each other some ice cream. What was that I mentioned before about baby weight? Navid snaps his fingers and some goons with dessert trays come over to their table.
So Borianna picks the covered tray and underneath is a yellow tennis ball. She turns back to Navid and Simi smiles back. He has a treat of the 6-pack variety...and then Navid, who I'm pretty sure doesn't have a 6-pack, wakes her up.
The Blaze Staff is working overtime. Silver makes a smart comment about working on the weekend but I'm distracted by Rumer's presence and Leno-esque chin. Does it get it's own credit? Damn. Some nerd brings in Mr. Chow for lunch. Rumer will continue working weekends if Navid keeps ordering from there. Oh and P.S., Borianna, your BF is awesome. Low standards much?
"Napa". Dixon and Toothy listen to Goapele's "Closer" in bed. Well, so much for liking that song. There's a shot of Dixon's hairy stomach, then teeth, then I think I saw some tongue. Ew. We're fortunately interrupted by a call from Navid, that rings for what seems like 5 minutes without going to voicemail. Toothy leaves for the shower so Dixon can take the call.
Navid's been checking his credit card charges online and it looks like Dixon charged a couple's massage to it. Dixon's living the dream. More like my really annoying recurring nightmare. Navid reminds him it's all a lie. Dixon knows and will come clean, eventually. Fall sweeps, maybe?
Dixon appreciates everything Navid has done. Lending him the car, renting the hotel room, lying to Harry and Becky. Navid warns him that he better be in school tomorrow, because if he runs into Harry he'll give him up. Toothy calls him into the shower with her and he's off like her dress on the first date!
Beach Club. Naomi runs into Liam who's waiting for Simi. He reiterates for the 4,393,349 time that he didn't sleep with Annie, that what she said (while awesome) was a lie. She has to trust him. Wipe that hurt puppy dog look off your face Naomi, cause here comes Jen to tell you how to think!
West Bev. The Blaze Staff sits around trying to find news stories online. Rumer finds some info on Annie's roadkill from last season. He "just" donated $100K to the school. From the grave? Silver wonders how a homeless man has that much money. I'm guessing he wasn't born homeless, but I'm not an ace high school reporter. Navid assigns Silver to report on it and Rumer to produce the piece.
Borianna's. Hey Borianna's mom, Constance, is back! Last time we saw her she had turned a new leaf and started to be the mom a court appointed parenting class teacher would be proud of. Let's see what Connie's been up to, shall we?
She checks Borianna's hands to see if they've been injured since she hasn't called her agent in two weeks. As Borianna stated many times in the season premiere, Connie, she's not going to be doing the professional acting thing now. That gets a snotty "whatever" from Constance and a sarcastic "welcome back, Psycho Mom!" from me. Borianna got an audition for a mid-season pilot and if she doesn't show up to the audition her agent will drop her for good.
"Napa". Dixon and Toothy oversleep. He's late for school. It's the "Power of Love"! Dun dun...
West Bev. Annie roams the hall. She gets a "good morning, skank" from Naomi, an invitation to hang out from What's His Name and an "I made a mouse pad out of your topless pic" from some nerd. To each she responds with a sassy comeback. Brava!
She walks over to Rumer who tells us that Joe Homeless was a West Bev alum and he donated money to the school in his will. Also, his nephew is a current student and is being interviewed by Silver. Maybe removing the "I did it" sign from Annie's furrowed brow will keep her secret safe? Maybe not.

HAHA! When I watched the episode my exact thoughts on seeing that kid skate through the hallway were "WTF why is Ricky Vazquez here?" By the way it was My So Called Life....

prettyprettyprincess: yeah, i know rickie's from MSCL. i have every ep permanently seared into my brain. i was just remarking on the fact that he was in roller skates at school a la tootie on the first season of FoL...i wondered if referencing 2 different shows in a paragraph would elicit that reaction...now i know :-)

Hey Mones,
I got both pop culture references. No need to separate 80s and 90s allusions into separate paragraphs ;)

I thought the same thing about Aunt Becky hugging Dixon at the end. I know it was to move the plot along BUT if I was his mother I would have smacked him first!! I mean, wouldn't you have wondered where your 17 year old son was for the WHOLE weekend? If Harry didn't seem to know where Dixon was then it wasn't like he lied and said he was hanging with Navid. Anyway, great recap as always!!!
