Once upon a time, at her first fashion show in Japan, there was this evil twig who wouldn't wear the shoes Donna had picked out for her. Donna fretted for she thought the twig was out to ruin her magical show. That is until Donna herself tried on the shoes and fell flat on her face.

Does Silver smell what Donna is cooking? She smells it. Kelly and her should walk in each other's shoes...the prob, Kelly's shoes suck. Is it me, or was she totally channeling Valerie Malone with that line reading? I mean, she totally looks like her.

Do you know where your child is?

AZ. Annie drops Dixon off at his mom's building. She tells him to give her a shout when he's done, she'll be exploring. He sees his mom walking out on her lunch break. Annie tells him to go to her. He can't; it's too painful. He wishes he could go apologize to her, but he's just not ready yet.

Annie walks up to Dana and introduces herself as Dixon's sister. She tells her that Dixon wanted to see her and talk to her but got too nervous. He wants to apologize. Dana wonders what for. She tells her about the choice Dixon made. Dana, the only person learned in the laws of parental rights, tells Annie that the choice was actually hers. She thought Dixon would be better off getting adopted. Annie assures her she'll tell him and turns to leave. Dana asks her if Dixon's OK. He is, how is she? She's doing OK, too. She's happy Dixon finally got the sister he always wanted and shares some of her Baby Dixon memories.

I got a strong Waiting to Exhale vibe in this scene. Was it the Angela Bassett look-a-like that played Dixon's mom? The lighting? The fact that it was supposed to be Arizona? Discuss.

Peyote Pines. Ethan asks how long until the peyote kicks in. Liam tells him to "look at a fixed point in the horizon and start taking deep breaths". It's just a little something that Hunter Thompson taught him. Fascinating. He "guides" Ethan through some breathing exercises. There's a rustling in the bushes and Ethan spots a coyote.

Liam tells him to close his eyes and to picture his own face and go into the image of it until he's looking into one of his eyes. What is the expression on the face within your face? No seriously, that's what he says. I am not making this up. Liam is surprised when Ethan says that it's frowning. Ethan continues that people don't see him that way. But that's the face within the face, get it? Ethan's tired of hiding his true self, of not wanting to cause trouble for anyone. He's tired of being a phony. A coyote howls in the distance. A nation rolls its eyes.

Premiere. Donna fixes Montana's dress and tells her how good she's making it look. No, the dress is making her look good. I vote for "none of the above". Montana gives us Old Skoolers hope by telling her she should open a store in LA. "Seriously, we need you here." Meta. She gets rushed off to the red carpet with Donna attached to her back, finishing some last minute deets.

Kelly's. Silver and Kelly watch the premiere on Extra Access Tonight. Montana gets stopped for an interview and they flip out when they notice Donna behind her. The interviewer asks about her dress and Montana introduces Donna. She freezes, says hi to the camera and runs off.

"Hi Ruby, remember me?!"

Kelly and Silver, scream and laugh. Kelly notices they haven't laughed like that in a long time. She knows how Silver feels about her, but they can't forget what happened. Silver can't; her tat reminds her everyday. She doesn't want her whole life to be about that. Kelly starts to re-tell Donna's story, but Silver tells her she already heard it. Silver concedes Kelly was right, but she still needs a little excitement in her life. Like maybe some late night face masks, baked cookies and horror movie? Kelly, ever the tease, offers up 2 out of 3.

LNNC92:

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 :)

winks523:

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?

hoxharding:


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!=)

DaffyMaiden:

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!

leia labiblia:

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,

mones:

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.

leia labiblia:

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
