    Wow, this episode was so intense. I mean out of all the mental breakdowns Annie has had so far, I'm going to have to to say that this one was the best. After this episode, I totally love the Clark vs. Wilson game. So this is what happened, Annie's 16th birthday approaches, and in continuation of the last episode, Naomi saw Annie kissing Ethan. So she makes up this big game to screw Annie over and to ruin her birthday. Naomi calls Annie's ex from Kansas to come to LA for her birthday which causes problems with Annie & Ethan, but once things are resolved between them in the end, Naomi isn't satisfied, so she makes out with Jason, and Annie & Ethan walk in. All is revealed, and the heated argument was amazing. We get to see Naomi's true colors in this episode. On the sidelines, the second best plot is Kim's plot. She's catching the bad guys, and the drug case finally closes, while Matthew is still put on the outs for what he "did". Kelly returns hoping to get back with Ryan, only to find out he's with Kim. It was Kelly's fault on that one. I'm loving the Kim character, and I love her relationship Ryan. Adrianna & Navid get closer, once Adrianna meets his parents. Navid is revealed to be a virgin, which surprisingly makes their relationship stronger. Then a HUGE cliffhanger comes in to play. Sean, Harry's son, comes in the middle of Annie & Naomi's argument revealing his identity. The biggest cliffhanger yet. My jaw was on the floor. Amazing episode.moreless

    Naomi sees Annie kissing Ethan, and vows to get revenge on her. At Annie's 16th birthday party, everyone is surprised when someone from her past shows up unexpectedly. So another awesome episode, like I say on every review on this show. I just love it so much, I cant really fault it. And as I always say, I love the storyline, however, I wasn't much a fan of Jason, Annie's ex boyfriend, but still. I loved Naomi in this episode too, I really like her character. And, Sean is here, he will bring something good with him. Well, I can't wait to watch another episode of 90210, bring it on!moreless

    In this episode of 90210, the following happens. This episode picks up where the last episode aired. Soon word gets round school about Ryan and Kimberley and we then see him putting his stuff into his car, after the whole school learns about it. Then Kelly comes back and asks him about it and although he wants to tell her the truth, he knows he can't. When Annie returns home she is greeted by a gift and that is..... her ex-boyfriend Jason, who has come into town for her Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party. Later that night, after returning home from a meal, Jason kisses Annie. The day of Annie Sweet Sixteen party arrives. Yet again Naomi sees Ethan and Annie kissing and so she shows Jason. When Annie and Ethan go to find Naomi she finds Naomi and Jason on her bed making out. Just as her birthday cake is about to be lit, Annie takes Naomi outside, so they can talk. As they stand outside arguing, the son of Tracey and Harry turns up.moreless

    This was a good episode but without Shannen Doherty as Brenda Walsh i didn't enjoy it so much. Despite the fact that there was no Shannen Doherty it was a good episode at all. It was amazing when Naomi tried to hurt Annie's feelings. And the end of the episode was great too. When Sean meets Naomi and Annie at Annie's birthday and he tells them that he is their brother, its really great. I hope that Shannen Doherty will join 90210 for a lot of the remaining episodes of Season 1st. Jennie Garth is really good in her role..moreless

    Let me just start off by saying that I absolutely loved this episode. All of the story lines were great, especially Navid's. I loved his scenes with Adrianna. I really like them together. It was great to see his family in this episode and learn some more about his background. Silver was great in this episode too. I absolutely loved Naomi in this episode, even if she did some really awful things to Annie. It's great that Kelly came back. I really missed her. In closing, I thought that this was an extremely well written, well acted and well made episode of 90210 from everyone involved, and I can't wait to see more episodes of 90210 in the future.moreless

    • Continuity Error: In this episode, Annie tells Ethan that she and Jason started dating in junior high. But this doesn't match up with what her mother said to her in episode 1x05 Wide Awake and Dreaming, when she was having "the talk" with Annie. In that conversation, she made reference to the fact that Annie was a serial dater who fell in love easily, broke up quickly, and moved on rapidly. Edit
    • For a short period of time following this episode, viewers could call Jason's phone number (913-709-0409) and listen to the voicemail Naomi left for him, inviting Jason to Annie's Sweet Sixteen birthday. Unfortunately, the number no longer works. Edit
    • Annie's contacts: Ralphie 323-555-0169 (Interestingly, this same name appeared in Brenda's contact list) Dad - 323-555-0120 Dixon - 323-555-0177 Jason - 913-709-0409 It seems odd that Ralphie's name would appear first, since the rest of Annie's contacts appear in alphabetical order. It also seems strange that Ethan's number does not appear in Annie's contact list, after Dixon and before Jason. He is her boyfriend, after all, and most girls keep their boyfriend on speed dial.
