"Great"

By InaSimes, Sep 05, 2010

90210 is definitely getting better, the history behind this episode shows how the subjects is taking different ways. That makes me very happy, because I wasn't believing that could be a great series after the first season. This episode start showing something that we haven't seen yet on 90210 that is the idea of their school future, with Naomi and her plans. Also put in doubt the beautiful love of Adrianna and Navid. Brought Silver's mom back and a little bit of the old 90210. The romance between Dixon and Sasha doesn't make me very happy, also Annie and her new friend makes me think when she will tell him the truth, I thin that murderer fact is not being well worked. Finally I loved Mathew trying to make Liam in a good boy, I love both of them and I think their characters are growing up at the series.
I'm sorry for my bad English!moreless

Naomi tries to get into CU.

7.0

"Good"

By Canogaparkcindy, May 09, 2010

A solid episode from 90210 this week. Finally, we get a three dimensional plot with one of the characters. Silver's mom comes stumbling back in to town, and wants to mend fences with Silver. She even resorts to buying Silver a car so Silver can forgive her mother for being so terrible. By the end, Silver's mom is dead to her, after she tells her mother off in front of all of AA. Silver also confronts Adrianna on what she saw that night in which Adrianna was kissing Teddy. Adrianna manages to be completely rude to Silver, and tries to shut her out by saying it's none of her business. Adrianna hopes the crush will go away, but quite the opposite happens when Teddy invites Navid & Adrianna to a double date, which brings back feelings that aren't supposed to be there as they kiss while on the double date. I liked how they were playing the jealousy game, but I'm still disappointed in Adrianna for what she's doing to Navid. Naomi's dreams get shot down when her qualifications don't allow her to go to her dream school: California University. So she wears sweat pants to school, which is apparently a big deal since everyone was freaking out about it. Naomi concocts a plan to get in to CU. She will date the dean's son, which she successfully does. Liam tries to find the right time to show Naomi the voice message of Jen saying she slept with him, but things almost always get in the way. For example, Liam getting his phone taken away in class by Ryan, I enjoyed the teacher/student friendship they had: Ryan & Liam. Ryan even covered for Liam when it came down to it. Liam is also becoming more of a three dimensional character, since we know he's good at writing essays. Liam fails to show Naomi the message when he thinks she has moved on when he sees her kissing the dean's son. Stupid Liam deletes the voice message, now he has no proof whatsoever. He could have at least kept it on his phone just in case. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait a while longer 'till Naomi finds out about prom night, since all the characters are moving on with different plots. Sasha finds out that Dixon is in high school, and wants nothing to do with him. Dixon tries to win her back, and in the end, he succeeds. Apparently they have sex one more time to "say goodbye." But you know they're back together. Annie & Jasper's friendship develops, not much Annie development, but we get to see them together. I'm craving some more Annie vs. Naomi scenes! In the end, we find out Silver's mom has cancer and the episode ends bluntly in cliffhanger fashion. Will Silver's mom still be dead to her when it turns out she's actually dying? Guess we will have to find out. Some dumb decisions were made in this episode, but it definitely was entertaining. Good episode, nice twist with Silver's mom.moreless

Silver's mother returns

9.5

"Superb"

By vicky24c, Nov 08, 2009

In this episode of 90210, the following happens. When Silver goes with Adrianna to an AA meeting, she gets a shock when she sees her mother is there. Her mother tries to re-build bridges with Silver, and even gives her a car. But it's all too little too late, and Silver ells her that she is dead to her. As we end the episode, we see Adrianna telling Silver that she spoke to her mother and that she has cancer and is dying. Is this the truth or a cruel lie in order to get her daughter speaking to her?
Ryan calls in Liam's parents when he starts acting out, but after seeing his step-father and his attitude towards Liam, he changes his mind, and tell them instead how well he is doing. Naomi gets an idea of how to get into her dream college, and when she starts dating the Dean of admin's son, she soon sees that his roommate is much cuter and much more her type. Dixon and Liam go to out and see the band "The Script" (Who are amazing by the way!), and when they get there Sasha and her friend are there. By the end of the evening, Sasha and Dixon are spending the evening together. Navid and Adrianna go on an awkward double date with Teddy, which doesn't end well, when he and Adrianna end up kissing again.moreless
