This week on 90210, Mones resents having to watch this show instead of the series premiere of V. In other news, her cable reception was acting up and many scenes have no audio, are blacked out, fuzzy, or all three. FUN!
We open on a cheap imitation, English language Fellini film. No wait, it's a Jazz-Hands Joint. Annie's crying. It's black and white. It's all really tragic.
The scene pauses and we're in the AV room at West Bev. Jazz-Hands fawns over his lady love/muse. He sees something in her eyes. Eye boogers? No, something full of pain, something real. Crusty eye boogers? She jokes that's it's her contacts bothering her. He warns her that she shouldn't joke about her "talent", unless she thinks his movie and he himself are a joke...he will not be ignored, Annie! They continue to blow smoke up each other's asses and then kiss. Blach! They need to knock that shit off.
Motherfucking Rumer Willis and the rest of the Blaze staff interrupt the physical expression of teenage love. Navid apologizes and tells them they can finish up what their doing. Jazz-Hands doesn't want to get in the way of "Woodward & Bernstein". Is Rumer Woodward and Navid Bernstein?
Navid gets down to business. He wants to run a story on prescription drug abuse among teenagers. Yawn. Isn't there a football game shooting going on somewhere in LA? Rumer's all for it but she thinks that Navid shouldn't have let his best source walk out the door. What's this you say? Apparently, her soccer player turned cracked-out friend gets her drugs from Jazz-Hands.
New power click, Liam, Simi and Straw-Hat, who must have gotten some notes on her diction, shove their burgeoning friendship in people's faces as they talk surfing, trash talk and joke with each other. Liam and Straw-Hat share a moment when Straw-Hat pours salt in Liam's drink. It's all fun and games until someone gets heart disease.
Navid, as he is wont to do, spoils the fun by coming up to them. He must be near-sighted cause he doesn't notice Liam sitting there until he's at the table. Awkwardness ensues. Liam leaves. Straw-Hat mentions that it was less awkward than their last encounter. Shut up, Straw-Hat. You just got here, OK?
Navid cries some more about having his heart broken. You know what's broken? That record of yours. Liam thinks it's best to be single. Girls in the world ain't nothing but trouble. Straw-Hat resembles resents that remark. No need to worry, Straw-Hat. Liam doesn't think you're a girl anyways.
Toothy's. Dixon arrives just in time; Toothy made chicken a la crazy bitch. She also rented a movie so they can't eat then watch, watch while eating, anything that makes it seem like they're a couple and not broken up, I guess. Dixon just kinda stands there with his mouth agape...like in every other scene. Dixon wants to talk. Toothy wants to talk without moving her mouth. Why the hell does she do that? More importantly, why is she on TV and I'm not?
Anyways, Dixon's wants to talk about the pregnancy and she suspiciously doesn't. He thinks they need to talk before time runs out. Time? Like say three months? Toothy's offended that he wants her to get an abortion. He wants to keep it real. (Yeah, now he does.) He's only a junior in high school and she's a grown ass woman. He mentions something about her having a career. Really, Dixon, now's not the time to joke around. She's keeping the baby. Her roommate will love that. Where is her roommate?
West Bev. Navid films a plate of sushi for what I'm guessing is a piece on school lunches. He gets distracted by the sound of guitar strumming in the distance. He walks towards it and it's...Borianna serenading him. My laughter drowns out some of the lyrics, but basically she's begging him to forgive her and take her back. Navid doesn't laugh at her but stares at her earnestly, which is even more comical. He calls her out on her bullshit and tells her to suck it. The countdown to relapse begins...
Matthews' Apartment. Jen walks in rambling on and on about her stupid, ugly shoes and fails to notice Matthews' date, the bartender from last episode. A couple snide comments, an evil look and Jen leaves.

Thanks for the recap, even though it was painful! Yeah, that Homecoming Float thing better be GOOD. I don't know why, but I still like this show. It's the perfect show to watch the afternoon after when all is quiet!
Borianna surely didn't try very hard to win Navid back. She really thought a lame song and a flowy white dress was gonna do the trick? Having her turn back to drugs was a lame plot line...I know, I know...most of them are...but seriously...
Jazz Hands is a creepy dude. And the drug dealing has nothing to do with his creepiness. Annie has he worst intuition EVER!

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that Dixon was on season 4 of The Wire. He did a great job on that show...just proves that it's really just the writing in this case!

borianna's flowy white dress was cute, though :-) re: the actor that plays dixon, i agree. he was great in "the secret life of bees" even if he did look like he was molesting dakota fanning.

Oh yeah, and 90210 was featured on The Soup this week, too. They made fun of the lip syncing scene with Borianna. :)

I always forget that Annie is a so-called actress...it hit me when they were looking at the shots on that computer and Jazz hands said she's a great actress. Now it makes a little more sense why Annie wants to be in his movies.
I completely disagreed with Becky's decision to not tell Dixon. She could have taught him a lesson about dating crazy girls.
