90210: Cause It's A Bitter Sweet Symphony, This Life...

Bonjour Gasmii! 90210 is back after an unannounced week off. Well it could have been announced but I really wasn't paying attention. I recap it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it...or care. What I have been paying attention to, though, are the on set pics of Donna Martin, or rather the on set pics of her without Brenda. Sad face. Not having Donna, Kelly and Brenda on screen together on a show called 90210 is just not right. Which reminds me...

This is AnnaLynne McCord's belly button.

Previously: Basically, this.

We start today's ep with Annie, Becky and Harry rushing down a hospital hallway looking for Ethan. Annie solidifies my utter contempt for her skinny ass by not changing out of her pajama pants before leaving the house. There's a reason you find those in/by the lingerie section. Ethan comes out and Annie almost tackles him. He's just bruised and shaken but he wants to wait until the girl in the other car gets out of surgery.

Restaurant/Cast & Crew Party. Naomi, who's Native American name must be Broken Record, tells Pregs she has to tell Ty about her oven bun. Pregs is waiting for the right time. Naomi starts ranting about how there's no time, there's never any time, there's no time to study, she'll never get into Stansbury. Or she orders her to waddle her now suddenly eating for two ass over there.

Pregs walks over to Ty and asks to talk to him. "My queen..." Shut up, Ty. She says there's no easy way to say it but eventually tells him he got cast as the lead in Pregs' Baby Daddy. He does that awesome guy thing of reacting badly and saying that he thought she was on the pill. She was, but it was that fool-proof cocktail of birth control, uppers and downers. He thinks she should get it taken care of. Oh Ty, plot contrivance isn't on your side. Medically speaking, she can't. Pregs walks away disappointed, possibly at herself for believing that Ty was a man.

I let this dick knock me up?

Hospital. Ethan frets over missing the stop sign and breaking California law by using his cell phone while driving. Annie says that she shouldn't have called. Yes, Annie, it's all about you your fault. Shut it, OK? Grown folks are talking. A doctor comes out and asks for Rhonda's family. He tells them that she has a collapsed lunch but will make a full recovery. Damn. I wanted her death to trigger Ethan's inner-Dylan suicidal guilt. The Wilson's leave cause now that Rhonda's OK they can stop pretending to care. Ethan stays to wait for his mom, but really it's to figure out how to apologize.

And, hopefully, to rethink his taste in women.

Casa Wilson. Dixon's sulking on the couch as the less pigmented members of his family arrive. He asks about Ethan and thinks there's something in the air tonight. Who did Dixon watch drown? Harry asks if he's gonna tell them or they have to play charades. Please God No! He tells them the great news about breaking up with Silver only he's acting all sad about it. He doesn't want to talk about it so he wishes them good night. As Harry watches him leave, we see a black and white pic of a young Lucille. Come back to us!!!

One minute it's there...

The next, it's not. Who is that?

Who's house? Pregs' House. Pregs and Naomi sit Indian style on Pregs' bed and eat mac and cheese. Mmmm. Naomi explains that Ty's brain, being male, matures slower than that of a female. Pregs doesn't know what she expected. Well, expect Naomi to tell her that she has to tell somebody about her pregnancy. This time her mom, the same woman who Naomi referred to as a nightmare, who could surprise her. Pregs would be surprised if she didn't kick her out. She won't be able to serve as her mother's personal ATM once she starts to show and not book jobs. She wonders what will be worse, her mom finding out or the privileged brats at school. She just got done being Rehab Girl and now she'll be Pregnant Girl. Don't worry, it's just a rape, cult and a jump to Self-Righteous Girl. Psycho Mom walks in and is all bitch face to her and asks her about the toothpaste commercial. Pregs didn't get it but if it's any consolation she got the lead in the non-paying school play. Psycho Mom isn't please with Pregs' dismal effort. "Laying around eating mac and cheese. That's a recipe for success." Umm, yeah.

alex_w:

Awesome recap but agghhh the typos! The typos!

preppyboy:

great recap! lovvvvvved the saved by the bell reference. probably the best episode of SBTB ever.

everytime Ouisy is on the screen it just reminds me of Phil of the Future, she played the mom, and that reminds me of how dreamy phil diffy is. oh phil.

mones:

thanks guys!

alex_w: teh tipoes hav bin fixed. sorrry! ;-)

preppyboy: something about teen dramas always brings me back to SBTB. that ep and the one with casey kasem and the dance contests are my favs.

smolls:

This show is one of my guilty pleasures and I LOVE it!!
HIGHlarious recap -- loved all the random show & movie references (especially the "Jessie speach" from SBTB -- man I used to throw that out there every chance I had back in the day)...and the GBC abbreviation only because I use that as a Green Bean Casserole abbr. all the time so now I'll think of this show whenever I use that which will make me think of Annie's sad-I-suck-at-acting-face which I also love.
I can't stand Annie/Shenae (character/actor-same difference) and hope things keep spiraling downward for her....please oh please writers, make her an after school special, please...she needs something serious to shake up her shallow world and more than a stupid break-up with whatshisname...
