Pregs' House. Constance (she's earned the use of her own name, I feel) walks into Pregs' room and apologizes. The one thing that Ouisy was right about was that she was a bad mom. Pregs says that she wasn't all the time, but lately she feels like all her mom sees her as is a cash machine. Constance says that it wasn't easy raising her on her own. Then Pregs started acting and booking jobs and it got easier. But that doesn't matter. They're in this together. Awww. For reals.
WBHS. Anthan walk out of the cafeteria as Annie blabbers on and on and on about her talk with GBC. She was insulted at first but then got over herself and filled out some applications for acting classes. We wish. Ethan, tired of her unceasing self-obsession, tells her that there's more to life than theater. She knows that but she loves it. Yes, but that doesn't mean that everyone does. He suggests that maybe there are other things to love. She doesn't want to love other things. Sigh. Work with him here, OK? He tells her about his chats with Rhonda and how he's on a "life is short" kick. The accident changed things for him, he doesn't want to live in a bubble. The bubble Annie's still in. Um, NOT ABOUT YOU! Plus I don't think drama geeks are included in the Homecoming Court/Jock bubble that Ethan's in. She leaves for practice...and the countdown to their break-up begins.
Party. Some band named Carolina Liar plays whiny white boy songs. You know the type. Remember when Color Me Badd went to the old school Peach Pit Original Flavor and sang to Donna. Now that was a musical guest star. Our Gang (Xtina, Dixon, Navid) rock out. Navid spots a lovely brown lady in the crowd who he says is pretty and not pregnant. Dixon's like "What?" It's nice to know that despite everything, Navid is a decent guy and still respects Pregs' privacy. The girl's name is Nika Raygani. They all accompany Navid. He introduces himself with "I'm really uncool". He tried to think of something cool to say but couldn't because he's not cool, blah, blah, blah. She takes this in and then seals the deal with a World of Warcraft reference. I fear Nika will be the Anna Stern to Navid's Seth Cohen.
Casa Wilson. Silver shows up asking for Annie. Becky smell the bullshit and coyly tells her that Annie's at some cheerleader's party, oh wait, that's Dixon. Heh. Suck on that Silver!
Rehearsal. Annie messes up an acting exercise because she's looking out for Ethan. Or rather, she messes up an acting exercise OVERACTING looking for Ethan who's not there...
Hospital. But is playing nurse maid to our sick nerd. She seems to still be in a lot of pain as he helps her into bed. He says that he'll be there for as long as it takes for her to get better. Then he leaves. OK. She notices the TV remote on a table across the room and she gets up to get it...and it seems, with a lot less difficulty than before. Hmmm...
Party. Navid and Nika (aww) stroll across the screen arm and arm (awwww). Xtina thought Dixon was the pro at picking up girls. Could it be that he's not over Silver? He wants to be. Xtina puts her hand on his arm to console him as Silver emerges from the crowd. "I knew you weren't a lesbian!" Is Anne Heche there? Silver thinks Xtina was pretending to get into Dixon's pants. I wish Xtina had beaten her skinny ass. But she doesn't. It's cool. Still not hating you, girl! Silver screams that Dixon dumped her "out of the blue" and she can't believe that he can go to parties like it never even happened. She bumps into someone and runs out. Ugh. They don't got no security at this party? Like a big dummy, Dixon runs after her.
Dixon catches up with her outside and asks what that trip to Crazytown was about. She can't handle seeing him with another girl. "This being in love stuff is making me crazy". The keyword there being CRAZY. Oh no! Dixon don't!! Get away from the crazy white girl!!! He deduces from her romantic screeching that she loves him. Her response? "Fine, ergo I do." Ugh, she doesn't even say the words. Dixon, you dumb bastard.

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.

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...
