Heck yeah! It's the episode of 90210 we've been been waiting for...and by "we" I mean me and Tori Spelling's checkbook. Bear with me Gasmii. There's a lot of filler (Naomi, Liam, Ethan, Dixon, Harry and Becky) and nonsense (Annie). Luckily, they did give us enough good stuff (Donna and Kelly) to quench our thirst for the Old Skool. Sigh. I wonder what season Soap Net is playing this week...
Previously: People met, others broke-up, someone went crazy.
Kelly's. Dixon fills Silver in on the haps at WBHS. It's Spring Break time. Someone named Jake Olson is having a party on his uncle's yacht in the Greek Isles. For some reason, Keith Richards and a Pussycat Doll will be in attendance. Ahh, high school. Such an innocent time. Kelly interrupts to offer them low sugar cookies and to ask them to change the subject to something less stimulating...than Keith Richards. Dixon gets it and asks about Silver's day yesterday. It was a nice bland day filled with meals with Kelly, the taking of medication and consumption of non-stimulating media. Dixon thinks structure is good. Kelly agrees, so off you go Dixon. He offers to visit again tomorrow but Silver thinks he should take a break and enjoy his vacation. He'll think about it and tells her he'll call. Kelly, from a short distance, reminds him not to call after 8.
WBHS. Dixon meets up with Annie at her locker. She's not as excited about SPRING BREAK! as Dixon is. She thought she would be doing fun LA things with Ethan and shopping for her prom dress. Instead, she'll be alone, utterly alone, wallowing in post break-up funkitude. Dixon wonders how she feels about a brother/sister road trip. They haven't spent as much time together as they used to in Kansas, he misses her. But where would they go? Arizona, for adventure and water park fun. Annie doesn't think Becky and Harry will go for it. No, but they'll let them go to Lucille's house in Palm Springs. Sneaky!
Matthews' Class. Matthews tries to get more students to sign up for his Habitat for Humanity trip to build houses for victims of the California wildfires. One of the heirs to the Max Factor fortune says he'd rather hang with the drunks chick on South Beach. Naomi shuns his macho pig ways prompting Matthews to ask if she's interested. "Build houses for poor people; have poor people wait on me hand and foot in Cabo? Tough choice." To know her is to love her. Matthews goes for the hard sell asking if anyone wants to experience new things, learn something about themselves. Ethan does, to Naomi and Matthews surprise. As the sign-up sheet gets passed back to him, something catches Naomi's attention.
Hallway. Naomi runs out of class looking for Liam who has also signed up for the trip. Naomi thinks it's exciting to give something back to poor people. Liam doesn't feel the same. He cut Matthews' Sociology class a few times and has to go or fail the class. Naomi lies and says she feels his pain as she's also being forced to go by family. The same family that is letting her live in a 4 star hotel all by herself. Either way, they can spend some time together. He unenthusiastically gives her a maybe.
Kelly's. Kelly nervously knocks on a door looking for Silver who's was in the shower. Kelly wonders why it took an hour. Silver wanted some privacy. Well, enough of that nonsense, it's time for crazy pills and mood charts. Silver's current mood is irritated, level 6. Kelly asks how she wants to spend her time before bed. Would she like to journal? Silver would not nor would she like to use the word "journal" as a verb. She doesn't want to do anything, just sit in silence. Kelly looks at her nervously. Luckily, the doorbell rings. Who can it be?

Just so you know Mones...right now it's the second season of 90210 running on SoapNet. The other day I happened to catch the one where Emily Valentine slipped Brandon drugs at the underground club where they had to exchange an egg to get an address...it's right around the time that Donna & David started hanging out more and Brenda was with Dylan...the good old 90210 days :)

I'm so annoyed that Donna&David are separated. Just because he doesn't want to be on the show doesn't mean they have to break up. Doesn't he care about Silver?!?!? Do you think Donna & David have met up with the Cindy & Jim over there in Asia?

The Dr Pepper product placement frenzy has hit 90210 in full force!
It was blatant before and now-well,wow-no other words can describe.
I expected Silver to declare her love to a can of the soda and go screaming across the train tracks while chugging some down.(with label in full view)
I think Naomi had the scarf thing going to hide the actresse's neck brace.
I mean,I doubt even Naomi would be allowed to do construction with a scarf dangling about(safety first!)
Great recap!=)

They're only separated. They may not actually get divorced. But whatever they do, that little girl is going to hate them for naming her RUBY SILVER.
Aww, the McKid does see Dylan every once in a while!

How horrendously annoying was that Diablo Cody guest shot?! She acts like I'm sure she stripped. Seriously, not since Nancy Reagan on DIFF'RENT STROKES has a pop culture whore been so gracelessly wedged into a children's TV show. The scene in the restaurant gave me the douche-chills, but then Diablo's big overrated ass gets TWO MORE ENTIRE SCENES!?! Who is she, Dr Pepper?
Mones, consider yourself lucky to have missed JUNO. Take a gander at Diablo's vanity column in EW and you'll see she pulls off the difficult feat of being cocky AND cunty at the same time.
But who's bitter? Yes, me. To see just how bitter, please check out my HARPER'S ISLAND recap on this very site.
God Bless You All,

LNNC92: thanks! i'm glad i haven't missed the summer in paris!
winks523: i feel you. i don't see jim & cindy traveling internationally for david silver. dylan, maybe. after all, those walsh people are the only family he's got.
hoxharding: i was waiting for annie or dixon to take a sip of dr. p and saw "ahh" to the camera. also, we never actually saw naomi doing any manual labor, did we? hmmm.
DaffyMaiden: it's nice that they redeemed dylan a bit by having sammy visit him. i wonder if he sings "take me out to the ball game" with him too?
LLB: i find her whole shtick to be as annoying as her stupid hamburger phone. i read her ew articles on NKOTB and 90210. i couldn't actually articulate why i didn't like them, but i think you nailed it.

THANK you! If that muu-muu Donna designed is any indication, it looks like most of the hamburger-phoning Diablo's been doing has been to White Castle.
And while we're there, the Moldy Peaches suck moose ass.
XOXO
