EPISODE 2.09: A Trip To The Moon

• Previously on: Jackie has cancer, Annie accuses Jasper of being a drug dealer, Sasha is pregnant and keeping the baby, Liam and Ivy hook up, Debbie finds out Sasha isn’t pregnant, Dixon hears Sasha has a miscarriage, Teddy tells Silver his mom had cancer, Jen and Liam threaten each other, Adrianna goes back to drugs which are given to her by Jasper
• This is the second episode of the sweeps period.
• Harry tells Dixon he got him back on the surf team
• Dixon says he won’t rejoin–he missed practices so he’ll face the consequences.
• Dixon regrets fighting with Sasha instead of helping her.
• Harry says she probably just wants to move on alone.
• He’s tried calling her but she won’t respond. He assumes she’s devastated about the miscarriage.
• He says he can’t go on with his life while she’s suffering.
• Harry tells Debbie that Dixon seems miserable.
• Debbie says he’ll be more miserable if he knew Sasha lied and manipulated him.
• Debbie tells Harry to trust him–he’ll snap out of it soon and they can all move forward.
• Apparently it’s been a few days since the last episode.
• Silver is giving Jackie medication and going over her “schedule”–nurses, doctors, medical tests, etc.
• Jackie looks a lot worse. Sad.
• Silver has a binder organizing everything. Wonder if she made it.
• Ha. Jackie asks her how she got so organized.
• Silver says she was always organized, and recounts how in 5th grade, she set up a class trip to the zoo.
• Jackie isn’t remembering.
• Silver then says she’s organized in order to stage manager, which she’s done since like 7th grade.
• Jackie still seems surprised.
• I’d like to point out now before we go further that the original 90210 ended with Silver as 8 years old and Jackie being a great mother since the day she was born. So if they claim any badness happened before she was 8, that doesn’t work and would just piss me off.
• Silver is now at school with Naomi.
• I wish we got more history on those two.
• It’s almost Silver’s half-birthday (?) but she doesn’t want to do anything because a lot is going on.
• Jamie has asked Naomi on a date.
• They are happy to see Adrianna in school.
• She says she’s doing better and she’s sorry she’s such a mess.
• Naomi says she understands why she was so upset and Silver says she’s glad to see her better.
• Really, Adrianna just looks numb. Must be the drugs.
• Silver leaves and Adrianna asks Naomi how she is.
• Naomi says how Silver doesn’t want to celebrate but they’ll get her a gift anyway.
• Adrianna says she’s “low on funds” so Naomi gives her $150 for the gift. But we know where that will go…
• Liam tries to tell Ryan that Jen is psychotic but he won’t listen.
• Ryan instead suggests that maybe Liam’s father was right–he’s just a bad kid.
• Ivy comes up all happy and joking but Liam is brooding and tells her to “back off.”
• Q1: You’re not my girlfriend.–Liam
• Naomi is still trying to convince Silver to celebrate her half-birthday party.
• Teddy comes up, as Naomi brags about the dress she got for the party.
• She leaves and Teddy says Silver doesn’t seem the type to make a big deal about birthdays.
• Silver says it’s a long story and Teddy says it’s a long walk to class.
• She says it was her 10th birthday that was going to be in the backyard overnight with stars and a tent but Jackie got trashed and they couldn’t have the party.
• 10th birthday–okay, that works. So sometime between ages 8 and 10, Jackie fell off the wagon. Hmm.
• Ever since then, Silver says, she’s learned not to expect much.
• Q2: If you don’t have high expecations, you can’t get let down.–Silver
• Teddy jokes about what to get for a half-birthday gift: half-DVD, half bottle of champagnge, half-bikini.
• Adrianna sees them together and is not happy.
• Silver notices and becomes unhappy too.
• Navid is watching footage of Gia doing the news report on drugs.
• Jasper comes in, introduces himself, and then point-blank asks why he told Annie he was a drug dealer.
• Navid explains he heard from a friend of a friend.
• Jasper says he should’ve checked his sources, just like he does with his stories.
• Jasper says he’s not a drug dealer–he’s just unpopular with no friends so people like to spread rumors and gossip.
• He adds that it “feels crappy” and leaves.
• Navid is speechless–because he believes him or because he doesn’t?
• Annie happily goes over to Jasper, who is just as glad to see her.
• He tells her he has big news: he showed his father clips of the movie who showed it to an industry guy who liked it.
• Annie’s excited but there’s more.
• There’s a Shia LaBeouf movie that his dad is producing and he got Annie an audition.
• She freaks out–in a happy way.
• Jasper makes her promise she won’t forget him when he’s famous.
• She jokes that she’ll still need someone to get her coffee.
• Ivy asks the guys if Liam is coming to lunch and Teddy says he’s in a bad mood and bit his head off earlier.
• Ivy tries to smoothly ask what was wrong with Liam but the guys aren’t giving answers.
• Dixon says Liam isn’t the type to talk about his feelings but Ivy questions if something is really wrong.
• The guys continue to joke and Ivy accuses of them of not being good friends.
• Silver mentions the Santa Anas affecting her. Interesting because Kelly always said the same thing. It was a big motif in the original for her and Dylan.
• She’s having lunch with Adrianna and explains that she and Teddy are just being friends since they bonded over moms with cancer.
• But she says she’ll end the friendship if it bothers her.
• Adrianna said if this is what it takes to help her deal, then she’s fine with it.
• Silver is thrilled.
• Ade excuses herself to go the bathroom. While there, she’s takes a few pills and stares blankly into the mirror.
• Silver is at home and on the phone, looking a bit stressed.
• Teddy comes over, bringing her her homework and coffee.
• Why doesn’t she have her homework?
• Silver explains that someone needs to stay with Jackie but she needs to run an errand for Jackie.
• Teddy says she’ll stay with her. He has experience.
• She thanks him and leaves.
• Dixon tells Navid he wishes Sasha knew how sorry he was.
• Wasn’t sure Dixon was going to tell anyone what happened.
• Navid sees Jasper and ditches Dixon.
• He watches afar as Jasper gets into Adrianna’s car.
• Adrianna wants to buy more drugs but she only has $20.
• Jasper says she can’t buy some–she needs to buy old.
• She takes the money meant for Silver’s gift and buys the drugs.
• Navid watches as Jasper gets out of the car, counting the money, and Ade drives off.
• And again we go into commercial with Navid scowling…
• Silver comes home to see Teddy and Jackie laughing and having fun together.
• They are playing cards together.
• Aw, Teddy can be really charming sometimes.
• Adrianna is her room, completely in a fog.
• But she gets happy when she sees that Navid is calling.
• She’s happy to hear from him and he cuts to the case.
• Q4: Ade, I saw you buying drugs today.–Navid
• He asks why she started using again and she denies it.
• He says he saw her in the car with Jasper and she tells he’s wrong.
• Q5: Why do you even care?–Adrianna
• She hangs up on him.
• Dixon tells his parents that he’s going to Sasha’s to apologize to her and make sure she’s okay.
• Debbie is alarmed, of course, because she lied about the miscarriage.
• She tries to cover by saying Sasha doesn’t want to him now.
• And Dixon attributes that to his behavior and that’s why he wants to apologize.
• Harry covers saying it’s dinnertime and Dixon says he’ll go later.
• So Debbie says she has something to tell him.
• Q6: Sasha didn’t have a miscarriage. She wasn’t pregnant.–Debbie
• Dixon is, understandably, confused.
• Debbie says she was suspicious, went to see Sasha, and caught her in lies. She then lied about the miscarriage to “save face.”
• Dixon is shocked that she wasn’t pregnant and his parents knew all along.
• Debbie says it’s her fault. Harry wanted to be honest but she didn’t.
• Q7: I didn’t want you to get your heart broken and not trust women.–Debbie
• Dixon has a good reply but I missed it.
• Annie and Jasper are rehearsing for her audition.
• It’s interesting that we have 2 characters that want to be actresses.
• Jasper is complimenting her and says he’s so lucky to have found her.
• He gets back to work and she blurts out…
• Q8: “I love you.”  “That’s not your line.”  “I know.”–Annie and Jasper
• She apologizes when Jasper is silent, saying she shouldn’t have seen it.
• Q9: “No, Annie. It’s just that I wanted to be the one to say it first.”–Jasper
• They start making out.
• Promo for 90210’s partnership with Warriors in Pink, in honor of breast cancer.  They’re running a contest to win a car. Hmmm.
• Back at school, Navid passes Jasper.
• Q10: “You scumbag.” “Good morning to you, too.”–Navid and Jasper
• Navid tells Jasper he saw them make a drug deal.
• Jasper tells him he loaned her lunch money and she was paying him back.
• Navid almost looks like he’s believing it but then tells him to stay away from her.
• Jasper says again that he’s not a drug dealer and if he was, he wouldn’t be the type you want to mess with.
• Liam is on the beach with Ivy and Teddy but is still all POed.
• He’s not nice to Teddy so Teddy asks what’s wrong but he claims nothing and walks off.
• Teddy shrugs and tells Ivy he tried.
• Silver comes home and finds her mom in a room themed according to the planets.
• Jackie say she wants to make up for the birthdays she missed.
• This is supposed to be for her 7th birthday when she wants to be an astronaut. Um, THAT DOESN’T WORK PEOPLE!
• Now they move to a different room that’s decorated like space.
• Not quite sure how Jackie is well enough to be walking all around like this with enthusiasm.
• Next room is 80s-themed for Silver’s 12th birthday. That I can (grudgingly) accept.
• Silver asks Jackie how she did all this and she said Teddy was the biggest help.
• Just occurred to me that this isn’t even the same house from the original show (I guess I can’t expect it to be) and they haven’t explained that.
• Debbie apologizes to Dixon again. She says her intentions were gone but “obviously I was wrong.”
• He walks out and she still tries to talk to him.
• Harry steps in but Dixon isn’t having it.
• Q11: Whatever. It’s not like she’s my real mom.–Dixon
• Cut to a stunned Debbie and cue the commercial!
• Silver and Jackie are now doing a “camping” party, roasting marshmellows in front of a tent.
• Jackie now looks sick again and is back in her PJs and no wig.
• Silver says she loves scary movies because it let her forget her problems.
• Jackie realizes she means their relationship was the problem.
• Silver says it was hard having her mom never there and never even knowing if she would come home at night.
• Jackie apologizes but says she knows it doesn’t make up for anything.
• Sorry, but this is exactly what happened with Kelly and Jackie in season 1.  And Jackie LEARNED from her mistakes. That’s why it would never happen again with Silver.
• I can’t stand that they are doing this again!  It just doesn’t work and it’s not fair to the original fans, writers, etc.
• Silver says that the apology doesn’t make up for anything but this (the birthday recreation) does.
• She says she always afraid Jackie would binge and die without them having any memories but now they have memories. She starts to cry.
• Jackie tells Silver to save her energy, since tomorrow is her actual half-birthday and all her friends are coming over.
• Teddy is happy to see Dixon back on the beach.
• They do a not-so-subtle plug for iPhone apps.
• Teddy asks Dixon what’s been wrong and he reveals Sasha wasn’t pregnant.
• So I guess Teddy did know. We never saw Dixon tell anyone, though. We saw him keeping it all a secret.
• They share a light-hearted moment until…
• They see Liam getting into a fight with another surfer and break it up.
• Liam is even more POed and storms off.
• They, with Ivy, catch up with him and demand to know what’s wrong.
• They say they are his friends and friends tell each other what’s going on.
• So Liam says someone (ahem, Jen) has been telling lies about him.
• He walks off again and they follow, asking who.
• He says Jen, Naomi’s sister is the one.
• Teddy makes a comment about Jen being hot but it doesn’t help.
• Liam says she told lies to Ryan, to his mom, etc.
• They want to know what about but he refuses.
• They say they’ll wait him out so he gives in.
• He explains that Jen tricked him into having sex on prom night, saying he was Naomi’s neighbor and baiting him.
• Dixon is shocked that it wasn’t actually Annie.
• Liam reiterates that he told him a while ago it wasn’t Annie.
• I hope Dixon apologizes to her.
• They all vow to help Liam get revenge.
• He’s pleasantly surprised.
• Jasper is working on his footage when Annie comes in.
• She’s upset because she didn’t get the part.
• He calls his dad an idiot and tells her she’s better than the other girls.
• He compares it to a guy losing the role of Tarzan to Clark Gable.
• Q12: You’ll get your part, Jane.–Jasper
• He calls her a star, “an old-fashioned star.”
• He lays on all the compliments again. The last one:
• Q13: And you’re Annie.–Jasper.
• Wow.
• I thought she was Jane? (Kidding.)
• They kiss and she tells him again that she loves him.
• Q14: I want my first time to be with you.–Annie
• Oh, Ethan. Where are you right now?
• He asks if she’s sure she’s ready and she says she’s “positive.”
• So they go for it…even though she seems nervous.
• But now she’s into it.
• Liam catches up to Ivy and apologizes.
• She say she understands now why he was in a bad mood.
• He says he’s apologizing for what he said at school–about her not being his girlfriend.
• She says it’s cool–she knows they’re just having fun.
• He asks her to grab food but she says another time.
• He leaves but then she calls after him.  She will go to eat with him.
• Navid is doing a search on Jasper Herman and finds out, what he already knew, that he’s the nephew of the guy died in the hit-and-run.
• Gia gets off the phone, saying her friend won’t help them nail Jasper.
• Q15: We have to bring this dirtbag down.–Navid
• Annie is her room, happily texting love notes with Jasper.
• Dixon comes in and Annie’s smile is gone.
• He immediately starts apologizing.
• She asks if it’s about him calling Jasper “sketchy.”
• And he says no, it’s not about that actually.
• Annie says she’s not surprised since Dixon clearly isn’t a “good judge of character.”
• Q16: “Your girlfriend faked a miscarriage. Sounds like a real winner.”  “Go to hell.”–Annie and Dixon
• Naomi is at the beach club, when Ade comes up crying and sad (drugged out?).
• She claims she was mugged–taking all her stuff and the money for Silver’s gift.
• Naomi asks if she called the police and she said yes but they can’t do anything because she didn’t call the guy.
• She breaks into tears and then Naomi hugs her. Great acting, Ade.
• Debbie looks in on Dixon sleeping. She’s crying.
• My heart is kind of breaking for her. And there’s tears in my eyes.
• Anyway…
• Silver and Jackie are sleeping in the tent when her phone rings. It’s Teddy.
• He’s the first person to wish her a Happy Half-Birthday.
• She thanks him “for everything.”
• They hang up and she goes to wake up Jackie…who won’t wake up.
• Okay, now I’m REALLY crying.  I knew it was coming but we know how I feel about this storyline–the character, the actor, the history.  It just SUCKS.
• Silver calls 911 and we fade to black.
• Preview: Annie tells her parents she’s seeing someone, Navid tells Dixon about Jasper being a drug dealer, Jasper comes over for dinner and meets Annie’s parents.

Those are my thoughts. What are yours?
