Rebel With a Cause

Episode Number: 63    Season Num: 3    First Aired: Wednesday November 11, 1992    Prod Code: 2192062
Kelly and Dylan go on a date, as Brenda insists that Dylan is free to see whomever he wishes. Brenda explodes when she and Rick run into Kelly and Dylan at a restaurant. Kelly denies that she is a bimbo and Brenda responds, "I was always told that if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck…." Kelly believes that Dylan is on the rebound, so she pushes him away. Brenda breaks up with Rick because they have little in common beyond their initial attraction. After the SAT board denies his appeal, a frustrated Dylan decides to leave town. Steve provides assistance to the wheelchair-bound Andrea in the hopes of curtailing her investigation of the computer break-in. Cindy suspects that Jim's beautiful new secretary is attracted to him, and Jim finds himself fantasizing about the woman.

Quotes

add »
Kelly: You screw up a few times, everybody thinks that's who you are, all you'll ever be. Even when you try to do the right thing. It just makes you wonder if it's all worth it. (edit)
Dylan: Sometimes when you care about someone, honesty isn't necessarily the best policy. (edit)
Kelly: I am not a bimbo, okay?
Brenda: Whatever you say Kelly, but I was taught if it looks like a duck and talks like a duck... (edit)

Trivia

add »
Kelly complains about the fact that everyone is still considering her to be a tramp and that it is unfair to judge her on past events. If she really wanted people to stop considering her "easy", wouldn't it have been a good idea to not hook up with her best friend's boyfriend? (edit)
