90210 Recap: That Which We Destroy
Last night's episode of 90210 was filled with lessons about family and friendship which, as with anything 90210-related, are more complicated than usual.
When we left off last week, Annie and Naomi's brawl was interrupted by a surprise appearance from their half-brother, Sean. The two girls stop arguing long enough to bring him into the house to introduce their new brother to Harry, who looks like a deer caught in headlights.
Annie and Ethan are taking their relationship to the next level and making out in the hallways. Ethan goes as far as saying, "We're so together we're like Siamese twins...except not related. And sexually attracted to each other." When Ozzie comes over to taunt Naomi, he sees the new couple making out and tries to offer comfort but Naomi basically tells him to get lost.
Harry has told Kelly about the events that took place at Annie's birthday party and wants Naomi and Annie to talk about their new brother. When the discussion turns to how Annie and Ethan went behind Naomi's back, Kelly tries to tell the girls not to let a guy come between them. She is, after all, an expert on the matter. "Girlfriends are like plants and guys are like cut flowers. They're pretty and smell nice...but they don't last," which is a moot point with these girls. They weren't friends for all that long to start with and let's face it, Naomi is a bitch.
In the cafeteria Annie takes on some of Naomi's worst qualities and decides to hit her where it hurts - the Ugg boots. We're sure there were plenty of girls watching last night who weren't thrilled to hear Annie call that fashion statement a thing of the past. With her only friend sitting at Annie and Ethan's table, Naomi tries her luck at sitting with the "Blendids". They seem like the poor girl's version of Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf and her minions. We couldn't help but wonder why Adrianna didn't get up to sit with her bestie. In order to sit with this elite (debatable) trio, Naomi needs to prove herself to them during a weird hazing. She doesn't eat lunch, only drinks Blendids twice a day, and must get some for her new friends. When her maid arrives with the drinks, Annie attacks her by asking if Naomi's Dad boinked the maid as well. When Ethan sees this he asks what's wrong with her - she has definitely changed from the girl who had just moved from Kansas.
As part of the hazing, Naomi must also ask Ozzie for help getting reservations for the girls at his family's restaurant. He says ok but when they show up, he plays hard to get. Finally giving in, he tells Naomi she owes him big time. We're not sure why she cares so much about impressing these girls anyway - the mathletes seemed like more fun.
Kelly goes to see Brenda (yay Brenda is back!) in her play but Brenda seems distant and hasn't been answering any of Kelly's phone calls. They make plans for lunch the next day anyway. Lunch doesn't go very far because Brenda basically breaks off their friendship. She says the two have grown apart and she's tired of fighting over guys. Kelly should've given her the same plant speech she gave to Annie and Naomi but instead tells Brenda to go live her life and Brenda obliges by picking up and leaving.
After Grandma Wilson convinces Debbie to be there to support Harry, she joins him, Tracy and Sean out for dinner. Tracy monopolizes the conversation and has been housing Sean during his stay but Debbie decides to ask Sean if he wants to stay at the Wilson home for a while. He jumped at the chance, most likely because Tracy seems like a bit of a nutcase.
While hanging out with Silver, Annie wonders aloud if she has changed for the worse - which she has. Silver is the voice of wisdom and tells Annie that no one is stopping her from getting back to the person she wants to be. Apparently she wants to be a school mascot.
The lacrosse championships are here and everyone makes it to the game. Silver and Adrianna make a rare appearance but we're not sure Adrianna made it for the whole game. The smell of a hot dog makes her throw up - is it possible she's preggers? Harry brings Sean to watch the game so they can spend more time together. Dixon has been getting progressively more jealous of Harry's new father/son relationship and feels like an outsider in his own family. He lets it affect his game and after getting pulled out he lashes out at Harry, telling him to screw himself.
Ozzie comes to collect on the favor Naomi owes him. He says he wants a kiss - and they share a nice one - but he says he wants Naomi to kiss Walter the Wildcat - who happens to be Annie. It doesn't go over very well for either of the girls but the Blendids are impressed by Naomi's willingness to do what it takes to be in their clique.
Kelly had to leave the game early after receiving a phone call saying Brenda had an accident and was in the hospital. What she didn't bargain for was Brenda telling her that she had slept with Ryan. This upsets Kelly to the point where she leaves in tears. Seriously though - she can't call dibs on every guy she dates and dumps. Also, Ryan really gets around!
Harry finds Dixon in the locker room and tries to reprimand him. Dixon is the one who ends up teaching Harry a lesson, though. While Harry has been doing what he can to make Sean feel comfortable, he hasn't done anything to make Dixon feel loved or wanted. Harry vows to try harder and make things work for everyone. They both go back to the game and the Wildcats win! Everyone is happy - Dixon even tells Sean to stay and celebrate. There's just one problem, the episode ends with Sean making a phone call that leads us to believe his intentions aren't all that great with the Wilson family. Is he just using them? Who was on the other end of the call? Do you have any predictions? Let us know in the comments!
