  • Classic Dylan/Brenda-centric episode

    For anyone who ever doubts that Dylan and Brenda belong together, I suggest you watch this episode. Because it's seriously intensely romantic and charged with energy. Everytime Luke and Shannen share screentime, you're glued to the screen, because they just worked so well together. The scene in which Dylan runs after Brenda and emotionally breaks down, leading to their first and perhaps most highly charged passionate kiss ever, is extremely memorable and well acted. Their developing feelings for each other were extremely believable because the two of them together just oozed with sexual and romantic chemistry. The definitive Dylan/Brenda episode. The first and best, in my opinion. The beginning of a great tv romance.moreless

  • Absolute classic episode of the first season. Brenda and Dylan finally start their explosive relationship.

    This is one of my favorites of the show. You can't forget the first time you meet Dylan's dad and see Dylan lose his cool. The dynamic between Brenda and father Jim is perfect as well. You already start to see all the issues that will come up season's from now between Jim and Dylan. This is absolutly one of the most pivotal episodes of 90210.

  • Classic 90210. Brenda and Dylan succumb to their mutual attraction. Even though his reputation is that of a bad-boy, he is just a tortured teenager trying to grow up without parental involvement. Brenda on the other hand, is overly protected.moreless

    Classic 90210! This episode ranks as one of my all time favorites. Dylan and Brenda give into their passion, which is loaded with emotion. Luke Perry and Shannen Doherty give one of their best performances. I loved Dylan and Brenda, so this episode was great.
    I also like the way this episode juxtiposed the AIDS story with Dylan and Brenda. Brenda\\\'s struggle with sex and Dylan\\\'s initial pulling away, portrayed real emotions of teens, it was both relevant and realistic. I enjoyed the girl with AIDS giving the facts at a time when the majority of the 90210 teens were sexually active or at least thinking about it seriously. Teenagers need wake up calls like this. 90210, in its earlier episodes covered relevant issues in an accesable way; Though sometimes a bit over the top, its aim was commendable.moreless

    And the first long term storyline begins, as Dylan and Brenda hook up after teasing it in an earlier episode. Very historically significant episode for the obvious reasons. The Walsh twins finally are able to penetrate into Dylan's life as he trusts both of them. The flower pot scene will be replayed over and over again throughout the series. Most people love the Dylan-Brenda relationship. I like it for what it ultimately ended up being, a nice little high school relationship, that CLEARLY would not and could not be sustained as they both became adults. But this was what it was at the time, and most importantly, this was the first storyline where the writers really dove into what they had on there hands, and created a long term storyline which turned into other long term storylines. I also should mention this was a good "life lesson" episode about Sex, Aids, and STD's etc etc. Steve in particular does a nice job of illustrating it as he falls for the guest speaker who ends up being someone who was diagnosed with Aids. MVC: Dylan (3), Brenda (5), and Steve (3)moreless

    the best part of this episode is the sequence of scenes when Dylan takes Brenda to the hotel and his father is there...
    First he fights with his father and then he takes it out on Brenda, she runs away and he chases after her and they kiss for the first time... so sweet so awesome this is a defining moment for B and D!!!!
