Recap & Review: Another episode of 90210, and this week we see the return of Kelly Taylor to Beverly Hills. She left a few episodes back to go see Dylan in Wyoming. This left Silver alone in the house to cause all kinds of chaos, which we saw her do. Dixon was always there, and then we have last episode’s party. Fans of Tori Spelling are still wondering if she will make an appearance on the new 90210, and they have a small glimmer of hope. She will be appearing on another CW series, Smallville. Could a 90210 appearance be far behind. We’ll have to wait and see.
Last week, Naomi found Ethan and Annie kissing in an empty classroom, and this is the exact moment where we pick up. The buzz around school is all about Ryan and Kimberly. He has been let go on paid leave after one of the students tried to blackmail him. When Naomi sees everyone talking, she thinks everyone knew about Annie and Ethan but her. She quickly learns this isn’t the case though, and she keeps the information to herself. She’s going to play a little game with Annie. She even takes Annie out for a little retail therapy cause she also finds out her parents divorce is being filed that day.
With Kelly’s return, she is left to wonder about Ryan and Kimberley. She finds it hard to believe that Ryan slept with a student after she dated him herself. She questions Harry, and she even calls in Kimberley for a counseling session, but she doesn’t get any closer to any real answers. As for Harry, he has taken over Ryan’s class for the time being, but the main focus of this episode is away from school as Annie turns sixteen. Naomi interferes and somehow gets Annie’s ex from Kansas to come to Beverly Hills for Annie’s party. This is a shock for Annie to say the least.
Naomi also plans a dinner party for everyone so Jason can meet all of Annie’s friends. This becomes an awkward affair not long after it begins. Jason is looking at colleges in Los Angeles, and this sets Ethan at a steady boil. He wants Annie to tell Jason she is taken, but Annie points out the double standard. He didn’t want Naomi to know about the two of them. Later that night, Jason tries to rekindle things between he and Annie, and she puts on the stop sign immediately. She tells him the next morning that she has moved on.
The party wraps up the episode. Everyone is there for some karaoke fun. Grandma busts out with the Pat Benatar. Ethan arrives to the party late. He was upset when he heard about Jason kissing Annie, and it looked like he might not even show up. However, he gets over it, and he and Annie plan to come clean to both Naomi and Jason. However, Naomi once again catches them kissing, and she shows Jason. This leads to the two of them making out upstairs, and the tables turning on Annie as she catches the two of them.
This leads to a huge fight with Annie and Naomi. All she had done was one huge game. One that played out just like she wanted, but she is trumped by the arrival of Sean, Harry’s son with Tracy. This is where the episode ends. As for Ryan, he is finally cleared as Kimberley makes her bust on the drug dealer supplying West Beverly. Kelly comes to him, but he is on his way out of town to clear his head. Kimberley also shows up, and we see a short awkward moment.
This episode shined a bit for me. It had a lot going on, even more than I spoke about. Navid and Adrianna’s relationship is also blooming. Everyone seems to be paring up in this series. Next week seems to be even more exciting as we see the return of Brenda to shake things up. Kelly and Brenda once again share the same man! Why am I not surprised?
