Lucille pours herself a drink that Harry doesn't think will help. He also wonders what the economic situation is. Last I checked, he was your kid and you were a high school principal. Do the math. Lucille's stocks haven't been doing well so she can't help. (Current events. This show is like real life.) In fact, she's thinks it's time for her to start working again. Oh man, she better not be "on location" for the rest of this season. I just started this gig. Anyways, money's only part of it. She misses acting, "Digging into the script, arguing with the director, canoodling with my costars...it's a calling". It really is all in the delivery. She leaves. (tear) Harry thinks that maybe they should borrow against their retirement and the kids' college funds. He thinks they need to do something. Becky thinks that Tracy should be included in all this. Harry will call her tomorrow. Nice save, Becky. How about you go make Annie some mac & cheese or something. You should fatten her up so her body has something to live off of when your husband succumbs to stage one of Stupid Bitchism: giving money to a man you barely know.
Bathroom. Annie walks in as Dixon is brushing his teeth with some Clorox, baking soda and lemon. Annie asks Dixon what he thinks about Sean. She's never felt completely comfortable around him and, he got a local call. In the tiniest display of comedic chops, Dixon sarcastically over-reacts. Well done. So...? Annie wonders who would be calling him since he said he didn't know anybody in town. Dixon proceeds to name off the people in town he does know Naomi, Tracy, and offers that maybe it was a wrong number. Seems reasonable to me. He adds that when Sean showed up, he freaked out and that it hurt Harry a lot. He grabs her by the throat and tells her not to put everybody through that same shit again. Or he should have grabbed her, I forget. He kisses her good night as she grabs her butt.
WTF, freak?!
Brenda's House. Brenda opens the door. Hey, it's Kelly! What's up, Special K? What part of "I don't want to be your friend because I slept with the guy you didn't know you were really interested in until after you went to see the father of your child who happens to be both our ex-boyfriend" don't you understand? Brenda didn't answer her calls because she didn't want to deal with all the Ryan drama. Kelly says that maybe she should have thought of that before she slept with him. Meow! She tells Brenda about Adriana who sees her as a mother figure. Well, Brenda didn't ask for that. She can't make it. Kelly asks if it's because she asked. It doesn't, conceited. Kelly wants to know why? Wouldn't Brenda want help if she were reaching out for it? It's probably why she was reaching out in the first place, Kelly, duh. Brenda kicks Kelly out. Kelly knew Brenda was selfish but thinks this is unforgivable.
"Bitch, I'm Brenda Motherfucking Walsh. I will cut you!"
Peach Pit. Christina arrives for a quick breakfast and finds Dixon there. Nat needed help with the breakfast shift. Nat has a knack for roping in the suckers from the mid-west, don't he? Did he listen to the CD she gave him? He did, it reminded him of Prince. She adds with a little middle period Curtis. Kurtis Blow? No Curtis Mayfield. OK, we get it, Christina. You're Black! Geez. She invites him to this shindig her dad throws once a month, gospel choir, BBQ, industry peeps. Gospel choir? BBQ? Gospel BBQ? He should go, unless Silver has issue with it. No woman tells him what do to! He'll go. Go 'head, D! Get yo' gospel BBQ on!
Principal's Office. Harry, Becky and Tracy discuss Sean's situation. Tracy thought they were close, what with the mother-son watsu. Harry tells her it's not her, it's him. Him being Sean, who didn't want anyone to know. Tracy states that Sean needs their help and frankly, she has the means that Harry and Becky don't. Becky thanks her for her generosity. Heh. It won't be easy, with the divorce...Becky says anything she could do would help.
Crazy Bitchism is fatal.

Great recap!

So I am not the only one who saw Annie grab her own butt! What was that about?
If you notice,when he gets close,she is grabbing it.
Then they cut to the next shot of him walking away from her and suddenly her arms are crossed in front of her.
This could not be possible because she would of had to recreate space between them which was not shown.
Love the recap!

Thanks Mones! This show is SO terrible...I hate it, but I can't look away. Seriously, why is Naomi so mad at Annie...it's not her freakin' fault. Though no one on this show can act at all. Squinting, moving your eyebrows and flaring your nostrils (Annie and Naomi)is not acting. One more thing...wasn't there something a bit incestuous about Naomi and the pictures with Sean. he's your "brother", they kind of inappropriate.

thank you for calling out the "kelly can't have kids" storyline from the original. when brenda revealed she couldn't have kids, i screamed outloud "YAY! plotline recycling!" and was wondering when kelly was going to be like, "well...they told me i couldn't have kids either, but low and behold, dylan's super sperm knocked me up!"
that being said, i'm a 90210 purist who still enjoys the new series, because it's light and fluffy enough to fill an hour on tuesday. i just wish they'd start fucking with more than one character besides audrianna. let's have some stuff go wrong with annie!

Cherie - thanks! i'm so happy/exciting to be here!!
hoxharding - yeah, i totally had to rewind that. she also moves her hands around A LOT when she talks. her acting choices are, to say the least, questionable. i'm a 12 yr. old girl so i know her from degrassi TNG and i don't remember her being so shitty.
Yanksfan24 - again, their acting choices are questionable. i'm really surprised the director hasn't done anything about it yet. the pics were hysterical and totally obvious. also, harry went surfing, too, so...he TOOK those pics??? ewww.
baymenxpac - yeah, the existence of kelly's kid (who was totally MIA this ep) bugs me. it's total contrivance and really dumb since he hasn't been a major part of the story. so, why invent him, you know? "super sperm", heh. is adriana gonna be this generation's kelly? what's next, burn victim, cult member, drive-by victim, etc, etc, etc.

To answer your question: abortion isn't an option because society is trending toward the opinion that it's just plain mean when the mother has all the money she'll ever want and neither she nor the child has a medical problem.
