    By wilezrules, Jul 17, 2009 Report Abuse
    Brandon submitted one of Andrea's articles for an award, and she won. Only problem is the guy that interviews her has serious doubts that she lives at her grandmothers house, and suspects that she leaves out of district and should not be attending West Beverly. So she quickly moves into her grandmothers, and with help from the other girls makes over the living room to seem like she actually has lived there. Her main problem though is that her mom and grandma had a falling out and do not get along very well at all. The side-story is much more compelling as Steve meets some gold-digger that only likes him for his money. When Kelly points it out to him, he gets very defensive and mad at Kelly. Turns out Kelly was right and saw right through the bimbo. Kelly consoles Steve and even takes him out to a movie. Nice way of escalating that friendship, which would be another bedrock for the series in the future. Anyway, not a terrible effort, but really, it's more filler. MVC: Steve (10), Kelly (9), and Andrea (6)moreless
