Brenda runs into Rick at a video store, as he has transferred to UCLA. She goes out with him and continues to pretend that she is French. He is understanding when she finally reveals the truth. The SAT review board accuses Dylan of paying someone to take his test. He annoys Brenda by refusing to re-take the test. After Dylan confesses that he had a summer fling, Brenda suggests that they take a break from their relationship. He immediately visits Kelly to ask her out, and they kiss passionately. Steve learns that he tanked his SAT, and convinces computer expert Herbert to help him access the school's grade bank. They use the legacy key to break in, but have to flee when the security breach is detected. Brandon, Nikki, Donna and David are interviewed by Rosie O'Donnell at a televised AIDS benefit. Donna seeks her priest's advice about pre-marital sex. She tells David that she wants to wait at least another year. Andrea suffers two broken legs when she is struck by a hit-and-run driver.

  • On 5 Nov 92, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling and future 90210 cast member James (Jamie) Walters "hosted" the Fox Thursday night line-up, introducing each show and speaking during commercial breaks. This was an unsuccessful attempt to boost ratings for the Aaron Spelling drama The Heights, which starred Walters. Walters also sang the show's theme song, "How Do You Talk to an Angel?" (which had considerably more success than the series). edit »
  • Dylan explains that he had a lower score the first time he took the SAT because he left early to visit Brenda in the hospital, but he did not take the exam in It's Only a Test; it was Brandon who left early. edit »
