Auditions. Ty and Annie are up. Geri Bonham Carter likes what she saw. Annie thinks it went well. She reminds Ty that she's with Ethan now. And why wouldn't he know that? They go to the same school. Ty is cool with it, but kind of surprised she's with a jock. He says they'll keep things professional. They'll make West Beverly theatre history...you know, once Annie gets her shit straight. Whuh? He means that she wasn't always giving emotion, which made it hard for him to find some of his beats. Instead of telling him that a good actor would have already worked out
his beats while preparing/telling him to shove it, she takes it and doesn't say anything.
Ryan's Class. Kelly barges in and asks what his problem is taking out a personal grudge on a student? He shouldn't punish her sister because they couldn't get together. "You know what? West Beverly High doesn't revolve around Kelly Taylor's love life." Remember when it did? Good times. Kelly thinks she's the one that should be pissed. "Brenda? Really?" Really. Really? Really. His decision had nothing to do with Kelly or "them". Then what? He had a lot of time to think in South Dakota. Um yeah, what the hell else was he gonna do? His conclusion: he's burned out. Kelly thinks 23 is too young to be burned out. I think they should have gotten an actor who, at least, looks close to that age. He cries about people thinking he molested Kim and about what Silver wrote. Kelly excuses Silver's behavior; she's just a kid and got carried away. That makes it ok? Wow.
Ryan can't be the same teacher he was all that half a year between getting his credential and now. He's done teaching at the end of the year and then he doesn't know what. He tries to hand Kelly Silver's paper. That's not the Ryan Matthews she knows. Well, maybe Kelly doesn't know him. Maybe she doesn't want to. Nuh-uh. Does to. She knows one thing (that's one more than I thought she did), he's a good teacher, and what kind of teacher doesn't read a paper from a kid who busted her ass to write it. Well, one who isn't persuaded by a self-righteous blonde tart in a tight skirt. Ryan Matthews isn't one of those teachers.
Auditions. Pregs shows up late. She's sorry, she had a doctor's appointment. Geri Bonham Carter tells her that auditions are over. Pregs pleads with her, she knows the whole play. She asks to do the suicide scene. GBC scoffs, "This is not how we do it in New York, honey." Is that why you're "doing it" as a high school drama teacher. Shut up, GBC. Pregs does the scene anyway. GBC watches pensively, then smiles.
Naomi's House. She walks up the stairs and sees a trail of clothes leading to the bedroom. She overhears Christian telling someone, "I trust you won't tell Gayle about this". A woman replies "I trust you won't tell the other brokers".
Casa Wilson. Becky thinks Dixon would like to invite Silver over for dinner. It'd be nice at some point. She's never been invited for dinner? Well, I guess she doesn't get that skinny by eating. Becky notices the pained look on Dixon's face and asks what's wrong. He relays the "I Love You" incident and Silver's subsequent freak out. Becky asks if they've talked about it. He says they swept it under they rug. Umm, if I recall correctly, YOU swept it under the rug and you DID try to talk to her about it, albeit, indirectly, but she's too much of a self-centered bitch to realize what you actually meant. Details, details. Becky relates a real boring story about Harry and flowers. The point is, Silver's not a mind reader, or a good listener, so if he's upset, he has to tell her.

Wait, why am I trying to make sense of this show? Thanks for a funny recap Mones!
