  • Too much Andrea and for that matter Brenda

    "Fair"
    There's really nothing worse than when Andrea gets romantically involved with someone. Unless, she gets into a mini-love triangle with Brenda. Acting class is winding down, and Andrea and Brenda both find themselves with a big crush on their acting teach Mr. Sutor. They both try and impress him on the little tour of LA. After they drop Brenda off at home, Mr. Sutor and Andrea share a kiss. Brenda of course is jealous, and slaps Andrea for real during their final skit together in acting class. Just brutally bad. Andrea thinks Mr. Sutor is wonderful, until he reveals that he's moving out to LA, and has a girlfriend. Saving the episode from complete absurdity, is the fact that Brandon finally has enough for his Mustang, which according to him is supremely yellow. He of course never bothers to test drive it and it turns out to be a lemon. Making matters worse, is Jim just rubs his face in his misery at every turn, even brutally embarassing Brandon in front of the returning Dylan. Cindy scolds Jim for acting that way, and the next day, Jim surprises Brandon by getting the car out of the impound, and replacing the engine. Very cool father-son moment.

    • When drama teacher, Chris Suiter, drives Andrea home, it seems odd that she is not paranoid about him finding out that she lives outside of Beverly Hills.

    • When Brandon finally buys the dream car that he's been working towards all summer, he picks it up at a used car lot that he says has been holding it all summer for him. However, when he first mentioned the car in Beach Blanket Brandon it was at a garage, and the mechanic was the one holding it for him.
