EPISODE 2.15: What’s Past Is Prologue

• Previously on: Ade kisses Gia to make her ex jealous, Jasper has photos of Annie’s accident, Silver and Teddy seemingly get together despite trust issues, Dixon wants to see his birthmom Dana, who shows up at the house
• I like the ep title. It’s clever. And feels kind of foreboding.
• Annie is jogging. At night. Never a good idea.
• Sure enough, she sees Jasper drive by and gets spooked.
• Debbie is introducing Dana to Harry. Apparently this picks up right where we left off last week.
• Everyone seems nervous.
• Dana explains that Dixon e-mailed him about wanting to visit.
• She thought about responding but everything she wanted to say sounded better in person.
• He’s very happy she came.
• Annie walks in.
• Dana and Annie are happy to see each other.
• Debbie and Harry are shocked. They don’t know about last year.
• Now Dixon and Annie have to explain. Dixon does the talking.
• Dana apologizes. She thought they knew.
• Dixon says he didn’t tell them because he didn’t want them to be upset.
• He confesses that he never got out of the car because he wasn’t ready. But now he is. He thinks this is great.
• Everyone else still seems nervous.
• Dana says she’s sorry to intrude and there’s a hotel nearby she can stay at.
• Dixon says Dana can stay with them.
• Harry says absolutely. Debbie hesitates and then agrees.
• Awkward to hear Dixon calls Debbie mom
• LOL Teddy says the whole point to being in a relationship is to share two dishes at dinner.
• They’re about to kiss when two girls come over and say hi. She’s turned off.
• Then his phone rings. Some girl named Amy.
• He says the girl programmed it in.
• She says she gets it.
• The waitress comes over…who, of course, knows him.
• Overkill, folks! Overkill.
• Silver purposefully orders what Teddy doesn’t want. LOL
• Now Dixon and co are about to have dinner.
• Dana asks to say grace.
• Dixon volunteers.
• I just noticed 3 Ds. Dixon, Dana, Debbie. Hmm.
• Dixon says he hasn’t said grace in a while but it just came right back. They used to say it when he was a little.
• Dixon says he doesn’t have a lot of memories of their time together but sometimes it comes back out of the blue.
• Dixon seems so happy.
• He recounts a memory but Dana changes the subject, asking when they moved to BH.
• Debbie says how Harry grew up here.
• Dixon says it was huge culture shock but Annie counters that Dixon fit right in, especially since he’s an athlete.
• Dixon recalls how he used to play little league and Dana says it was a long time ago.
• Looks like she doesn’t want to revisit the past.
• Now we’re at Navid’s house. Presumably his home theater. Lila walks in.
• He is watching anti-drug PSAs because he has to make one, as per Principal Harry.
• Why is Lila visiting him at home?
• Oh, to give him the new edition of the Blaze.
• She warns him that it includes Naomi’s first segment.
• She admits it’s worse than awful.
• He hits play. (I can’t believe this is what the Blaze has evolved into.)
• Naomi starts out by calling everyone West Bevers. LOL
• She says her segments will be hot and spicy, and immediately goes into a blind item about a new couple at school.
• And then a rant about hooking up in public. (Um, didn’t she used to, too?)
• The segment is supposedly 7 minutes long. Navid and Lila agree to put an end to it.
• Cut to Silver complaining to Naomi about Teddy.
• Naomi says how Teddy is a player.
• Silver says she needs to get comfortable with Teddy’s past.
• Naomi says Silver is stronger than her because she would always be wondering about when he’s going to cheat.
• She suggests Silver monitor his cell phone and e-mails, and follow him occasionally. LOL
• Annie is putting out the trash when she hears a noise.
• She looks around, sees nothing and goes inside.
• But the camera pans around to Jasper, in his car, playing with a lighter.
• 10 minutes in and I haven’t picked one quote yet. Hm.
• The promos tell me Carter from The O.C. will be on Melrose Place tonight.
• Dixon says dinner was the worst ever. Annie says it wasn’t that bad.
• He says this was a mistake. Every time he tried to connect with his mom, she changes the subject.
• He says he doesn’t know want to call her either.
• Annie suggests spending time alone with her. She says he has to try because he’s waited too long not to.
• Debbie asks Harry about the saying grace thing from the night before. She wants to know if Dana was judging them.
• Harry says no.
• But Debbie says they’re not coming off like good parents because they didn’t know Annie and Dixon took the trip last year.
• Harry says they probably didn’t want to make them feel threatened. And they’re not. They have to let Dixon know they’re comfy.
• Debbie sorta kinda agrees.
• Teddy, Dixon and Liam have just finished surfing.
• They’re joking around when Dixon notices his car is totally missing from the parking lot.
• Ade and Gia are in the car. She starts singing along with the radio or whatever it is they’re listening to.
• A song about some girl named Joleen. Jolene? Joline?
• Gia says Ade has an amazing voice.
• Ade ignores that and says if Gia has stuff to do with the Blaze, she’ll wait for her.
• Gia calls her out on wanting to see Navid.
• Ade admits it’s true. She says it’s because Navid almost got expelled for her.
• Gia wants details.
• She explains how she spoke to Navid and Navid said how he planted the drugs to take Jasper down.
• And, she says, he wants to take Jasper down because he was selling her drugs.
• Q1: How the hell am I supposed to get over a guy like that?–Ade
• Gia says she’ll get over it when she meets someone else. Gia says that happened to her.
• Ade is shocked and pleased to hear Gia has a crush and wants details but Gia isn’t divulging.
• Now the guys are at school. Dixon is upset about his car still.
• Navid comes over. They’re happy to see him back.
• Liam says being suspended is like a vacation.
• Q2: My mother says I urinated on the legacy of my ancestors.–Navid
• Navid says he’s happy to be back because he can’t “destroy” Jasper from home.
• The guys say it won’t be fruitful.
• Navid says he needs to get Jasper back for dealing to Ade.
• He then back tracks and tries to say it’s also about revenge for Jasper pushing him down the stairs.
• Q3: Maybe this is less about Jasper and more about the feelings you still have for Adrianna.–Dixon
• Navid says that’s not true.
• They point out he hasn’t even looked at another girl since he and Ade broke up months ago.
• Navid swears he’s going to ask someone out soon.
• Silver is doing work with Teddy beside her.
• She accuses Teddy of copying her and asks what she’s getting in return. He kisses her.
• But then he says BRB, leaving his computer.
• And of course some girl IMs him. Or e-mails, sorry. It’s Amy. Saying she can’t wait to see him.
• Silver X-es out right before Teddy comes back. And gives her another kiss.
• He seems kind of adoring.
• Still at school. Navid and Lila are having fun editing Naomi’s segment. They’re piecing her words together (ala what Clare, David and Donna did in season 5 of BH90210) to create new sentences.
• Navid asks Lila if she wants to have dinner sometime. He’s adorably awkward.
• She’s taken by surprise but agrees. Just as adorably awkwardly.
• Gia shows Ade a flyer for auditions for a lead vocalist for The Gloria Steinems.
• LMAO at the name.
• Gia says the band is made up of students and they are “rad.”
• Gia says Ade has a great voice and needs something to help her over Navid.
• Ade agrees she does need to get over him but a band won’t help. She thanks Gia for trying and calls her a great friend.
• Gia looks disappointed.
• Debbie is finishing yoga. With Kai.
• He offers water. What, she didn’t bring her own?
• Q4: Can I get it with a shot of tequila?–Debbie
• Kai asks her what’s wrong.
• And she immediately opens up! What?! Who does that?!
• She explains how her son’s birthmother came home.
• He asks how it’s going.
• Debbie explains she’s not true how Dixon is going.
• But Kai meant how is she doing.
• She says she’s trying not feel threatened.
• Kai asks her point-blank if she is.
• SHe admits she is a little bit.
• Kai says those feelings are valid.
• And how would he know? Background would help. Fleshed-out characters would help.
• Silver is telling Naomi how she just started dating Teddy and already it appears he’s dating.
• She can’t bring it up to him because it would reveal she was snooping.
• Naomi suggests they send someone he doesn’t know to the coffee shop to spy.
• They see Gia and tell her they need a favor.
• Cut to Gia acting suspiciously awkward at the coffee shop, hiding behind a magazine.
• Not The Peach Pit, mind you.
• We know it’s “Amy” there because the barista calls her by name.
• She’s kind of hot.
• Gia texts Silver that there’s good news–no sign of Teddy.
• And then he walks in. Of course.
• They enthusiastically hug.
• She calls him “babe.”
• Uht oh. Another sister?
• Gia is still eavesdropping. She sits at the next table.
• Amy tells Teddy he’s been AWOL.
• And her parents are out of town and their house is available.
• Teddy explains he’s dating someone.
• She says she’s not going to tell and he doesn’t have to tell.
• Q5: I really like this girl. I want to give this whole monogamy thing a try.–Teddy
• Amy asks why he came then.
• He says it was a mistake and gets up to leave.
• She says she can try monogamy but it’s not who he is and it won’t work.
• He’ll says we’ll see and leaves. She’s kind of dumb-founded.
• Navid is at the Beach Club waiting for Lila.
• He is wearing a red and white striped shirt and a blue and white checkered tie. Umm…
• He tells Lila she looks great. She’s wearing a blue cheetah print.
• What is going on, Frank Helmer?!
• They go to have dinner.
• They start to bond over the things their parents made them do: cotillion, the Quadratic equation (er, forumla, folks) and learning the Fox Trot.
• Apparently they were Fox Trot partners. But Navid doesn’t remember.
• They laugh it off.
• Q6: So, I guess, technically, this is our second date.–Lila
• He agrees with a smile. They’re kind of cute. I think I like her.
• Dixon is at a sports bar with his mom. They’re watching basketball.
• She asks what the score is.
• He asks if she’s into sports. She says Celtics and Pistons.
• She admits she gambles online to make the games more exciting.
• Dixon is taken aback. He says he’s surprised.
• She says they’re getting to know each other.
• Q7: Do you want to get to know me?–Dixon
• She says of course. Why else would she be there?
• He says that last night was weird, with her changing the subject.
• She says she remembers everything from the past.
• She explains how one of the memories he brought was actually a product of one of her manic episodes and that’s why she didn’t say anything. She didn’t want the Wilsons to think she’s a worse mom than they already do.
• Dixon says they wouldn’t think that. She couldn’t handle it and gave him up to someone who could.
• Dixon says his parents are probably glad they have him.
• Q8: ‘Cause, you know, I am quite the prize.–Dixon
• Post-dinner, Navid and Lila are still hanging out at the club. They are joking around in a flirty-way about Navid’s poor dating skills.
• He wants a chance at a third date.
• Q9: Prepare to be swept away.–Navid
• She confesses that when he asked her out, she thought he was doing it to get over Adrianna.
• He admits that was motivating him. But now he realizes he likes her and wants another chance to go out again.
• She’s sold.
• And they kiss. It’s really innocent and sweet.
• Ade and Gia are walking on the beach, giggling and whatnot.
• Ade has 20 questions to guess Gia’s crush.
• But the fun ends when she spies Navid and Lila kissing.
• She’s very upset.
• She asks what’s wrong with herself. She knew this would happen eventually.
• She repeats that she has to get over him.
• Gia points out that the band auditions are still going on.
• Ade says she’ll try anything now. (Not drugs, Ade. Not drugs!)
• Gia puts an arm around her and they walk off.
• No Ivy so far. And no Naomi and Liam together. And I am so okay with that.
• Ade is now auditioning. I don’t know what song it is. Is that bad?
• She’s singing a capella and killing it. She is talented.
• Oh, it’s that Joleen song. Jolene? Joline?
• Gia is there. As are two other band members. Female, obviously. (Gloria Steinems and all.)
• She finishes. Gia says she was good and they start to leave.
• The band members stop her. They say they won’t hold call backs because she’s in. She blew them away.
• Annie and Silver and Naomi are Crumbs. I love Crumbs!
• Annie and Naomi are discussing how cupakes are so much betterthan cake.
• Silver is bummed.
• Naomi says she should be happy. Teddy didn’t cheat.
• Silver says but she did send someone to spy on him. She didn’t trust him. That’s terrible.
• Annie and Naomi say it’s done and they should move on.
• Annie says sometimes people mess upa nd they need to move on.
• She goes to throw somethin gout and spies Jasper sitting at another table.
• She tells the girls they need to leave immediately.
• Silver asks if he’s stalking her. Annie says she doesn’t want to talk about it. They leave.
• Debbie asks Harry if she should txt Dixon because he should be home by now.
• Harry says it’s fine.
• But Debbie says maybe she’ll wait. Give him and Dana timd.
• Phone rings. Bad news.
• Debbie assumes it has to do with Dixon.
• Not really. Cops found the car downtown, completely ruined.
• Dana and Dixon come in laughing.
• They apologize for it being late and say they had a good time.
• Dana is going to walk Dixon upstairs. Aw.
• Harry says to Debbie that all went well and she worried for nothing.
• She says that her feelings are “valid” and it would be nice if her husband understood that.
• Dixon is in his room. He goes on the computer to ByTheBookie.com. He clicks “Yes, I am over 18.”
• He seemed to know that site already. No Google search or anything.
• FYI all: Brandon had a sports gambling addiction in season 3 of Beverly Hills 90210, while he was in high school as well. It briefly resurfaced in season 6 while he was in college.
• Ade arrives at rehearsal. One of the other band members, not one from last night, is kind of punk-goth-y. She starts to give Ade grief but then says they’re cool.
• Lila walks in, late apparently. She is the bass player.
• Ade and Lila are introduced. But haven’t they met already? Awkward, anyway.
• Navid tells Liam and Dixon that he had a hot date last night with Lila.
• Q10: Cool enough for you to move off your whole Jasper vendetta?–Dixon
• Navid surprises himself and says yes. He realizes his vendetta did have to do with Ade.
• Ade is freaking out to Gia. She joined the band to get over Navid but now has to work with his new girl.
• Q11: Every day I’m going to be reminded of what I lost.–Ade
• Gia snaps. She doesn’t want to hear about Navid anymore.
• Ade apologizes for talking about him so much.
• Gia says that’s not it.
• Q12: I like you. The problem is I like you, okay?!–Gia
• She’s practically crying.
• Teddy and Silver are talking when she says she needs to tell him something.
• She admits she read his e-mails, the message from Amy.
• Teddy says nothing happened.
• She admits she knows that because she sent her friend Gia to spy.
• The brilliant Teddy says, “You spied on me?” Why do people always say that in these scenarios?
• Silver says his past was making her feel insecure and she didn’t know if she could trust him.
• But, she says, it doesn’t matter. She was wrong and it’ll never happen again because she knows she can trust him.
• Q13: That’s great. But the thing is, now I don’t know if I can trust you.–Teddy
• He says he needs space and despite Silver’s protests, walks away.
• I feel like we’ve see this way too many times on shows. It just seems like such an easy storyline to do.
• Jasper walks up to Annie and offers her a ride.
• She tells him to stop stalking her.
• He doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
• She says she’s seen him.
• Jasper says he’s just trying to help.
• He says he got rid of the one piece of evidence linking her to the crime. THE CAR!
• Q14: See, I’m just looking out for you.–Jasper
• Close-up on Annie’s freaked-out face.
• Fade to black.
• Preview: The voiceover says “The censors forbid us from exploiting this storyline” and it shows Gia and Ade looking at each other. “So if you can’t say this” and Ade says to Silver and Naomi “I’m having these feelings for a girl. Does that mean I’m gay?” Then  the voiceover continues, “Or if you can’t talk about this.” And Naomi says, “A little lady-lady action might be just the thing for you” and then Ade and Gia lean into kiss as the voiceover says “You’ll have to watch to see this.” So much for not exploiting! (I know, I know. It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.)

Those are my thoughts. What’s yours?
