The house is fixed up, and Steve decides to move in with Brandon. Donna finds Mrs. Korman's ring in Ray's jacket pocket. Everyone believes that he stole it (although he points out that he would have to be an idiot to leave the ring in his pocket for days, then let Donna discover it). The house's petty cash and Steve's gold watch turn up missing, and Steve blames Ray. Steve and Ray nearly get into a fight, and Donna decides to give up on Ray. Valerie exposes Ginger as the actual thief and orders her to leave town. Val pays off Ginger at the airport; they actually staged the entire incident so that Valerie could prove herself to the rest of the gang. Brandon tries to bring Kelly flowers for her birthday, only to find Colin in her bedroom. Colin angers Kelly by refusing to show for her birthday party; he later reveals that he spent the time creating a special painting for her. Donna gets drunk at the party and tries to throw herself at Ray. Brandon gives Dylan information about businessman Tony Marchette, his father's killer. Dylan follows Marchette into an elevator just to see how close he can get to him.moreless
  • Valarie and Ginger are cleverly sinister!

    This episode is mysteriously crafted. This keeps viewers glued to the screen in suspense. Even though the viewers are aware that Ginger is a culprit, Valarie isn't exposed as part of the conspiracy until the end of the episode. Throughout the entire episode Valarie does a fine job of keeping her secret hidden. Particularly why I especially enjoyed this episode. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. I rest my case. periodmoreless

    • Valerie: Come on, Ginger. We have to get ready for Kelly's party at the Greek Theater. Ginger: Uh, it sounds like its going to be so boring. There's no drugs, and not enough booze there. Why do you want to be with these people so much? You were the one who called them avocado heads. Do you want to be an avocado head too? Valerie: I have my reasons. Ginger: Most of all, why hang out with Brandon? He's nice and all, but he is so straight and moral. I can't stand people who are good, soulful and moral. But I'll bet that Steve Sanders has a wild side. Valerie: You'd like to hang out with him, wouldn't you? Mostly because he has a platinum card? Look, we need to make an impression on these people, regardless of how square they are. Kelly's 21st birthday is today and that means a lot to most people. Ginger: All that I know, when I turn 21, I'm going to get so wasted that I'm going to the nearest tattoo parlor, with a whole bottle of Jack Daniels. Valerie: That was your 18th birthday. I was there, remember?

    • Dylan: Dating schmucks seems to agree with her. Brandon: (to Dylan) She did look great when she was with you. (Dylan gives Brandon a withering look) Steve: You're both wrong. She looked her best when she was with me. Brandon: Sharp as a tack, that one. Dylan: Yeah.

    • Dylan: What kind of schmuck ditches a girl on her birthday?
