• Good time for a commercial break…assuming you hadn’t read spoilers and were shocked about this.
• 90210 promo.

• That is sooo not who Brooke is anymore.
• Haley just called Miranda a bitch.  So true.

• Alex just called Brooke plus-size.  I liked Brooke’s response: “I’m normal-sized.”
• Brooke just did another “that’s what she said” joke and Alex doesn’t get it.  Kind of funny.  Kind of awkward.
• Barney reference.
• Alex just failed at her own “that’s what she said.”  Now that was kind of funny.
• Glad Brooke hates Alex as much as I do.  And this is a regular character?  Intolerable.
• Jamie apparently stayed with Quinn and David for a whole week at some point.
• Lauren is completely burned because Jamie left her there for so long!  So hysterically sad!

• Q23: Who’s the bitch now, bitch?–Haley to Miranda
• Millie takes responsibility for suggesting Alex.

• Alex comes back out, wearing one of Brooke’s dresses.  Saying how much it means to her.

• Quinn insinuates that, like the actors and musicians they saw, she did what she had to do for her heart.
• Quinn says there’s no “big important reason” why she feels this way.

• No Naley scenes yet this episode  They’ve got six minutes to give us one.  Will it be Nathan telling Haley wasn’t going on?
• Julian’s dad says he thinks it’s wrong to put Brulian before J’s career but admits that he was wrong for focusing on fictional characters instead of Julian.
• Julian’s dad admits he doesn’t remember J’s favorite day with him.  But says he’s proud of him.
• Q24: You go live your life.  Be happy.  And whatever you do, don’t be like me.–Julian’s dad.
• His dad just reminded me of another parent-child relationship on another show.  Can’t think of what/which though.
• Nathan meets up with Clay.
• Clay reminds him of the party, and says they were both “pretty wasted that night.”  It was 3 months ago.
• The photo in the envelope is a sonogram.
  Q25: She’s 3-months pregnant fake.
• Brulian watching the movie from the beginning. It’s just as annoying as Alex is in “real life.”
• Brulian just had a sappy moment out of nowhere.  Did not like it.  At all.  Which is weird.  For me, anyway.
• Ah, here’s why we’re watching the movie!  Alex took what she said to Brooke from the movie!  See, I knew it wasn’t genuine.
• Back to the homeless guy.  Dan brought him food.
• Homeless guy he read the book…and sold it.
