They walk in and Donna starts taking off her shoes. You know, living in Japan and all. She asks Silver how she's doing. Silver says she's been better, she's been a lot worse, but she is very happy Donna's there. She tells Kelly she's not too happy, so there's no need to worry. Donna's happy to be there. All she's wanted to do since she heard was go to LA and hug her. Kelly asks if the Japanese fashion world will collapse in her absense. Never fear, Special K. Skype and email will save the day.
Now that Donna stopped by (unannounced) to hug Silver, she'll take Ruby, her daughter, and go to a hotel. Sammy's conveniently visiting Dylan so Kelly offers them his room. Question: Does Kelly ever spend time with that whiny brat? Donna, Japanese resident, says she'll make some tea to have their very own Japanese tea ceremony. Kelly is impressed with Donna's worldliness, or more correctly, her Japanliness. Donna says the French have Jerry Lewis, the Japanese have equally goofy Donna Martin. Before she can tell Kelly and Silver about her harajuku life, Kelly sends a disappointed Silver to bed.
Desert Highway. Annie figures that they should call the 'rents in an hour and 45 minutes to tell them they made it to Palm Springs. Dixon is impressed with Annie's craftiness. I'm impressed she can speak in complete sentences. Annie is amazing. Dixon makes a stink about the first song of a road trip, even though they are obviously already out of the city and driving in the desert. Dixon wants "No Sleep till Brooklyn", Annie chooses "Seasons of Love". Dixon's rules of driving state that the driver controls the songs, the passenger manages the snacks. He asks for a refreshment and we get a nice shot of a cooler full of Dr. Peppers. He can enjoy his tasty beverage once she "hears the sweet sounds of the Rent Soundtrack.
Cocina Wilson. Harry wonders how he and Becky will pass the time now that they're alone. He makes room on the kitchen counter and suggests sex. Lots of stinky, ugly, messy sex. Becky has to line up a nude model for her photography class assignment. Harry thinks it's time for him to watch his wife work her photog magic again.
Casa for Humanity. Matthews addresses the volunteers as Naomi saunters up to Liam. "Play your cards right and maybe we'll get some alone time together." Liam informs her that's an oxymoron. Matthews tells the students that they are in Chumash country so to bring any found artifacts to his attention. Some random idiot in the crowd hopes to find some ancient Chumash weed. Liam asks if he's talking about peyote, which the "Native Americans used to expand their minds and open themselves up to revelations". Actually, Professor, he was talking about WEED. Thanks for the history lesson though.
Naomi runs over to Ethan and makes small talk. Ethan's feeling good to be out of his comfort zone. While he was doing that, Naomi had a little exchange with Liam that she needs deciphering. Like what did he mean mean. She tells him about her fling with Liam and how cryptic he is. What does he think? Ethan thinks first it's talking about boys, next shopping together at the mall. He tells her she should talk to someone else about it. Who? The girls on the trip are smelly granolas and not one of them has complimented her on her cute shorts. Ethan laughs (at her). Naomi gets a better idea, Ethan can talk to Liam for her! He flat out refuses. She's happy he'll think about it. He's totally gonna do it. Pussy.
Rodeo Drive. Kelly and Donna cruise around in a freakin' Rolls Royce. Donna chats on her cell to Japan and stops to pick up the name she dropped. Kelly reviews recent California driving laws with Donna. She hasn't been behind the wheel since forever. BTW, public transit in Tokyo is amazing. Kelly can't picture Donna on public transit. Sorry Kelly. Some cities provide a decent public transit system so that their residents don't have to depend on ozone destroying cars.

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
