90210 Recap: By Accident

Adrianna is preggers with Ty's baby!

Oh CW network, you are so tricky with your new ad campaigns! We think you're going one way and then you go somewhere completely different! Last night's episode of 90210 gave us further proof that Kelly Taylor thinks the world revolves around her, Naomi's bitchiness is what makes us love her, Annie is a whiner and hot teacher Ryan is the hottest commodity in West Beverly.

The show must go on even if Brenda Walsh is no longer able to direct! A new hotshot director from New York (they couldn't find one from L.A.?) is casting the students in the next school production: Antony and Cleopatra. Annie thinks she was just made for this part and tries to convince Ethan to try out with her. This way, she says, they'll be able to spend more time together. Being the jock that he is, Ethan is reluctant to take a dip into the theatrical pool. It isn't until Annie's former stage/theater partner (who was once in the running for taking Annie's virginity) Ty shows up that Ethan decides to try out. Was it just us or did Ty look kind of unattractive last night? Maybe it was just the attitude he was giving off when trying to make Ethan jealous and insulting Annie's audition.

Mr. Matthews is back and has got a foxy new angst going on. All the women in the building can smell it from a mile away and are drawn to him like I am to a can of Pringles. Kelly approaches him and tries to make small talk about him coming back. She even suggests a lunch plan to catch up - which he turns down immediately. Of course, if she were paying attention she would know that Ryan's new, manly cynicism isn't all about the way she crushed his hopes of being Mr. Kelly Taylor. He is jaded and feeling like his attempts at being an impactful teacher were all for naught. He is coming back to a classroom of students who believed he was capable of being a child molester. Silver posted terrible things about him all over her blog - it's not so shocking that he would feel uncomfortable getting back into the swing of things.

Mr. Matthews transfers Silver out of his class without notice and continues his day doing the best he can to teach without making an impact on his students.

Silver is upset with Ryan's decision to move her out of his class and talks to Dixon about it. Actually, it was more talking at Dixon about it. She just can't understand why he would be so upset with her. Dixon does his best to show Silver where she went wrong and uses his own experience to tell her she can sometimes hurt people with her words. While it is painfully obvious for us all that Dixon is really talking to her about his feelings -- which she took a blowtorch to -- Silver is completely oblivious. Instead of working on her relationship with Dixon, she vows to write the best paper Mr. Matthews has ever read.

Kelly sees Silver working on her paper later that night and finds out she was kicked out of the class. This prompts her to confront Ryan, who FINALLY puts Kelly in her place and tells her the world doesn't revolve around her. He didn't kick Silver out because he and Kelly used to date. It wasn't even really due to her slandering his name across the internet. He's planning on collecting his paychecks and checking out at the end of the year. Still, Kelly convinces him to read Silver's paper.

Naomi comes home to find a barefoot blonde standing on her dining room table. She's a realtor that her dad hired to sell the house. What I'd like to know is, do realtors usually take off their shoes and stand on expensive tables to check out the crown molding? My guess is no. So it is here when Naomi finds out the hard way that her mom has been seeking refuge in New York (not Paris) and isn't sure when she's coming back. And oh yeah - the house is up for sale! Her dad tells her to pack her things and move in with him and his girlfriend Gayle at the beach house. Naomi's parents are close to being the worst - only rivaled by Adrianna's mom. Since they are the most hands-off parents ever, it's actually kind of surprising to see how nurturing Naomi is with her friends.

Adrianna has been feeding her fetus a non-stop diet of granola bars and coffee. Even without all of the drug and alcohol abuse she put the baby through, she'll be lucky if she doesn't give birth to something that resembles Woody Allen. Naomi and Kelly try to talk to her about her options but are too pushy - which leads Adrianna to run away. She drives all night long and only stops to turn around after a near-death experience. When she makes it back to Beverly Hills she arrives just in time to force the play's director to watch her audition. Of course she chooses the suicide scene and does an eerily convincing job with it.

Naomi goes home to pick up a pair of her favorite jeans before going back to the beach house and discovers her dad can't keep it in his pants yet again! He and the realtor are missing more than just their shoes and Naomi uses this as leverage to tell her dad what a bad parent he is. She rents herself a hotel room and gets herself out of her dad's den of lies. Later that night, Adrianna finds her on the beach and tells Naomi all about the drive, near-death experience and going to Planned Parenthood. The choice to keep or abort the baby was made for her. She can't have an abortion because she is too far along.

The following morning, the play parts are announced and Annie is not too thrilled with her supporting actress role. She launches into whines and moans and overall just annoys. Ethan ended up trying out for the play too and landed a small part - which we have to admit, is pretty cute since he did it to spend time with Annie. Adrianna landed the part of Cleopatra playing against Ty's Antony. This normally wouldn't be a big deal but we find out that the only person who could be the baby daddy is Ty. Awkward!

The cast and crew for the new production are all going to an Egyptian restaurant to celebrate the show. Annie acts like a diva and ends up not going even though Ethan tries to convince her and goes by himself. Dixon goes to talk to Silver but she won't let him get a word in because she's too excited that her plan to get back into Ryan's class worked. When he finally blows up, he tells her that he understands she is a moody person but it's too much for him to deal with. Just like that, my favorite couple on the show is donezo.

Debbie and Harry go into Annie's room to cheer her up and convince her to suck it up and go to the cast party. Excitedly, she calls Ethan and tells him to turn around to pick her up. He's so psyched he doesn't pay attention to the stop sign he's supposed to stop at and all we and Annie hear is a huge crash on the other end of the phone.

Now we have to wait two weeks to find out what happened to poor Ethan! It looks like it's going to be a great episode. Silver flips out about being in love, Ty gets the news about being the baby daddy and doesn't take it very well, and we get to find out what happened in the car crash.

What did you think of last night's episode? Are you as annoyed with Annie as we are? Were you shocked to find out about Ty? Let us know in the comments!

Adrianna is the perfect Cleopatra. Annie just has to get over herself already! In the end she probably will get the part AGAIN cos Ad will be pregnant etc..

Annie was annoying in this episode. Seriously! Ty became a jerk but him giving constructive criticism to Annie i don't consider as a jerk. Annie just needs to suck it up and not think she's perfect. Hot teacher Ryan can be my teacher any day. I have gotta say i didn't see Dixon breaking up with Silver coming at all. Kelly has jumped on the annoying train. And i have to admit, Harry Wilson is the hottest dad on the CW. Very manly, and handsome. Rufus Humphery looks like a year old jello next to him. Actually, he looks like that next to anyone. But enough of that, wrong show anyways.
I loved this episode better than the last.

This is the worst show, and yet I can't look away, it's like a train wreck. Annie has always been whiny and miscast. Ryan has never been hot (to me). Naomi is nurturing yes, but so callous (a platinum speculum? This isn't a joke, this is a teen's life here!) I don't think Kelly is selfish - Silver never told her WHY Ryan kicked her out. She and Dixon are the only reasons I watch, and I hope Dixon hooks up with Christina now because she made him show promise with the singing. Until the next episode, I'll comfort myself with Netflix DVDs of the original, thank you very much.
