Here is the episode description from TV.com:

Electrifying revelations stir up trouble this week as the teens of West Beverly come clean to each other. Adrianna reveals her secret to Naomi and Navid, who handle the news differently than expected. And when Dixon reveals the depths of his feelings to Silver, their relationship takes a surprising turn. Meanwhile, Tabitha surprises her grandchildren with an unexpected gift, and Annie and Ethan escape from Beverly Hills to the desert beauty of Palm Springs.





Tuesday Night Reaction

7 01 2009

90210

  • Naomi’s interactions with Sean/Sean’s interactions with Naomi are so creepy–regardless of whether he’s her brother.
  • Again convinced Dixon and Silver are one of the best things about the show.
  • The Pictionary scene was pretty cute.
  • Still weird hearing “Ms. Taylor” and “Miss Walsh.”
  • Interesting they chose to reverse Dixon and Annie’s rooms from what Brandon and Brenda had in the original.
  • Liked the incorporation of some realism with Tabitha’s comment about the market.
  • Couldn’t the part about why Sean needs money be true?  Again, regardless of whether he’s who he says he is.
  • Brenda said she “burned bridges.”  What’s happened to her relationships with everyone else?
  • Loved Kelly telling her off, but hated her hair!
  • How/why does Brenda have such a nice house?!
  • I will never accept a new Peach pit.
  • Enough with the Dr. Pepper references.
  • Brenda’s semi-apology at the rehab center was kind of nice.
  • So was Sean really beat up and by who?
  • Strange that they’re going with a Brenda can’t have kids storyline when Kelly had the same problem.  At least they sort of mentioned it.
  • Brenda and Kelly patched things up way too quickly.
  • Since when do they give medical results in a waiting room?!
  • So did Adrianna sleep with Navid or no?
  • If Christina isn’t interested in Dixon, why kiss him?  (Even on the cheek?)
  • That’s a lot of pressure to be asked to sing like that!  I was very impressed with Tristan Wild’s voice.
  • Where was Navid?
  • Who knew $200,000 would be such a huge deal to Beverly Hills people?
