Adriana and Annie are chatting about how her mother doesn't love her and how cool it was that Annie mentioned her to the agent. If I were present for this conversation I'd inform Adriana that it would be the worst time ever to tell her about the Ty lie but, alas, I wasn't. Adriana tells Annie the truth behind the genius shower (note to self: run shower next time you're trying to fool someone into thinking you've just finished sexing their boyfriend) and Annie is livid. Chillax Kansas, you could have been in on it if you weren't such a prude.
Naomi's father arrives and is none-too-happy that the open bar segment of the evening is over. Oh, and he's also pissed that Naomi lied about there being an emergency. When they spot Naomi's mom (how could you miss her, she's wearing a teal satin dress [gag]?) he rolls his eyes and reminds Naomi that the reason they're not together is because he found someone cuter and younger who hasn't popped out the spawn of Satan in the last 17 years. Some yelling ensues and Naomi is left flailing her nostrils in pity. The best part is Ethan is standing there the whole time staring awkwardly, because clearly this was sort of a private conversation.
Really more of a family-type moment...
Across the room, Silver is again approached by a slimy modeling agent. He talks her up for a while and I'm hoping she's not as naive as your standard high-schooler. Because the last thing anyone needs is for all those naked pictures of herself from that time she thought she "had what it takes" and took one too many Quaaludes with one too many shots before shooting to resurface. Trust me when I say, there's nothing like waking up naked in the cornfield of a neighboring state to dissuade you from modeling.
But I'm getting off-topic. Anyway, agent man gets even creepier and touchy-feely when Dixon steps in and shoves him, instructing him to get his hands off of Silver. Debbie runs over to diffuse the situation and tells agent that the "thug" that he is calling security on is her son. Agent raises one eyebrow and tilts his head back and forth the way I do when I'm making fun of smug people and asks "and who da baby's daddy?" Lame, do people still say that?
Regardless, Dixon has had enough and sucker punches the guy. They fight, which gets broken up by dad and Debbie's boss. As luck would have it, Agent is one of their biggest clients. He abruptly fires the photogs and takes off. Well, I can tell you one thing; Silver will not be welcome at the Wilson household any longer.
Me? Thug? Baby daddy? It's not like I'm the only.... ohhh shit.
After everyone calms down, Annie is hanging out in a corner when Ty comes over. Adriana felt so badly about what happened that she texted Ty and told him everything. I'm guessing the text was either really really long or really really confusing. Something along the lines of:
Ty: pretended to F U after play. Annie=PISSED. @ fashion show 2nite. <3
Anyway, they chat for a bit and ultimately decide to just be friends because Annie isn't really ready for sex yet. At least not with Ty. Ethan, on the other hand, is looking delicious these days, let's see what he's up to...
Ethan and Naomi are in his car getting ready to head out. He and Naomi talk for a while about her parents; which turns into a conversation about them. Ethan sees Annie leaving and gazes longingly while he tells Naomi some people aren't meant to be together. I'm not sure if this means he think that he and Annie aren't meant to be or that he and Naomi aren't because he wants Annie. Thoughts? Anyway, they break up amicably and I am grateful they are over.
When Silver gets home she finds Kelly waiting with bags packed. Oh, Silver, you've been rendered homeless again because of that fight you started. Sorry!
Actually, Kelly is taking 2 weeks off and taking Accident to see Dylan. She doesn't think he has really changed, but there's only one way to be sure. Silver says she will stay at Kelly's, meaning she'll have to come back. Kelly doesn't actually respond to that and its pretty sad, but agrees that she can stay. I know she's signed on for at least a few more episodes, and what about Ryan?

I guess we won't be seeing Kelly or McKid for a few weeks.
And I am so dumb!! Someone had to point out to me that Ryan is the son Tracy gave birth to in high school. Kelly even made a point of mentioning that he's ten years younger than her and Brenda, and it went right over my head.
They're definitely heading toward EthAnnie, or whatever their couple-name is going to be.
Mmm, ice-cream sandwiches...

Awesome recap and I'm totally with you on all your observations! NO ONE in my high school would have congratulated the leads of a lameass school production and rally around them cheering, and my school was, I'm sure, nowhere near Beverly Hills-level coolness/snob factor proportions. And I too wondered what the text Adriana sent must have said.
LMAO at Ryan's essay assignment. FIVE PAGES on something you might like to be when you grow up?! Knock off a few page requirements and you have a grade 4 level assignment at best.
As a big fan of the original (and far superior, though that goes without saying) series, I've always belived Brenda belonged with Dylan and Kelly with Brandon. Brenda and her antics MADE that whole show. Why isn't she causing any drama anymore!? It's like the writers are afraid to stir the pot. I'm not sure if her deleting his number was supposed to mean something, but I don't think Shannen Doherty's scheduled to appear on anymore episodes. So since she caused no drama and was no fun, her entire presence in this series seems like such a waste of so many awesome storylines.
Re: The musical episode where Annie was to lose her virginity. All I could think was if she EVEN loses her virginity to this dude in a hotel after the play, has a pregnancy scare, and takes a test which her parents later find in the trash I. WILL. LOSE. IT. So I was pleasantly surprised by the Adriana interference.
Agree with you on the Naomi plotline...completely idiotic. That chick is the worst actor of the bunch and that's saying something. I read that the kid who plays Dixon was great on The Wire. Does anyone know what kind of character he played? Because frankly in this show, he kind of sucks. Too bad if the kid is really capable of much better.
Sorry for the lengthy post!

I thought Tracy was Naomi's mother's name... I could be wrong... anyway, Naomi's mother and Annie's dad conceived a child whom she gave for adoption, and Ryan's the right age.

Great recap as always!!
I feel like there is one huge part missing though - where Ryan and Brenda "leave" together? I thought that was kind of significant (read: shady) of Brenda. I hope there's more to this storyline.
Also, I have to point out, in the scene where Ethan and Naomi are making out in her bedroom - she has her arms behind her head and it is so obvious she did not shave her underarms! I thought for sure there would be a screencap of that!
