Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210

Now that Alycia has succeeded in pushing Bobby out of the company, Peter (whose injuries from that four-foot fall over the railing in the previous episode were not serious) is ready to part ways with Alycia: there's nothing left to scheme about and they don't really like each other. But she isn't ready to let him go, and informs him that buying his way out of both the cable company and their sham relationship will cost him $2 million. Maybe the vodka creep, whom Billy's still sniffing around, is interested in investing in this sector? Meanwhile, Peter spitefully presses assault charges against Bobby, and it falls to Sydney to bail him out and continue hanging around him despite his clear requests that she knock it off. Jake finally finds out about Jane's part in Richard's fashion show disaster and gets drunk and vengeful about it with a random woman he meets at a fashion-industry event...or is she? Kimberly continues to lose time to an increasingly angry Betsy; when Kimberly confides in Peter (still not a psychiatric professional), he agrees to help her cover up her new issues and prescribes something. Is it stronger than Betsy? And that notorious photo of Matt and Alan outside the dance-athon resurfaces in a tabloid story outing Alan, but WHO LEAKED IT?! Sit down somewhere comfortable -- and safe -- and listen to our podcast on "The Burning Couch"!

053: Let’s Read About Shannen Doherty In Her December 1991 Seventeen Cover Story!

We dig into a ShanDo cover story from late '91, plus whether BAG is funny, which of us tried it with "winter shorts," who's cheating on Sassy with Seventeen, charity basketball, drugstore perfume, and our results on the best-friend quiz.

028: Let's Watch Jason Priestley In Dear Christmas!

The former Brandon Walsh stars in a Lifetime Christmas movie in which his love interest is A PODCASTER. Obviously we had to watch it. Was it a stocking full of joy or a cup of curdled egg nog? Listen and find out!

It's not only that Billy continues to be the absolute worst -- which he absolutely does. It's that Amanda keeps coming right up to the edge of shutting him down and then doesn't, because even though he's a pig, he's a pig who's bringing work to the agency. This time, his risky gambit is to take a vodka client he and Alison are pitching to get a true "American" experience at a strip club with mud wrestling, and then try to close the client by letting the guy mud-wrestle Alison. And when he steps to Amanda's own marquee client? ...Well, maybe we can forgive her for not reprimanding him since she's got other things on her mind, which we'll get to. The plans for Alan and Val's wedding cause tension between Alan and Matt, which only rises when Alan's doting parents show up, so relieved that the boy they'd been worrying about is not actually Funny or That Way that they're throwing themselves into the wedding festivities with near-evangelical fervor. Matt's attempt to seek comfort from David, apparently his only friend, only complicates matters. Things have been going so well for Kimberly lately that it's time for her to start experiencing a new mental health issue. When Amanda accepts Alycia's framing of Bobby's legal difficulties, Bobby takes his disappointment out on Amanda's door frame. And Richard reaches rock bottom, but maybe Jane shouldn't gloat too much about how he got there. We bring no mercy to our podcast on "Ruthless People"!

Christmas In Palm Springs

This plot to bring down Bobby's cable company is turning out to be a real drag for everyone behind it! First Alycia has an attack of conscience about making Bobby look like a mobster when what he wanted most was to go legit. Then Peter hears from Amanda that she's on the company's board of directors, so if Bobby goes down, he might drag her down with him. Will Peter be able to get this scandal train off the tracks before it crushes his beloved?! After Alison sleeps with Billy and THEN tells him she's finished with him as a boyfriend prospect, Billy has nothing but time to launch his own schemes at D&D: he tricks Amanda into agreeing to a gigantic raise if he can successfully pitch an airline client, then bones an employee from a rival agency to find out what they're going to be presenting. And would you believe there's even MORE workplace sabotage on the docket this week? After Jane abandons her own collection, having seen all her inspiration purloined by Richard, she takes advantage of Jo's extremely extra runway design to bring Richard's fashion show to an abrupt halt. Finally, Sydney settles uneasily into her new role as the Burns & Mancini office manager, and Matt continues fuming about Alan's upcoming sham nuptials. Don't walk to our podcast on "Run, Billy, Run"!

You know how when you have one ex-wife working for you and then pick back up with the ex-wife you actually haven't divorced yet and this one lets you know she wants you to fire the other one? Well, Michael does! After Kimberly uses her wiles to convince Michael to let Sydney go, Sydney fires back with sexual harassment lawsuits Peter and Michael are kind of forced to take seriously. At the same time, Peter is firming up his relationship with Alycia and getting her further onto his side and against Bobby by telling her the real (or is it) story of his grudge against the Parezis. With Jane and Richard still bitterly fighting as they each prepare for interviews on a fashion TV show, Jo sort of tries to stay above the fray by bringing Jane some of her work from the office...and then accidentally leaves with more than she came with. Billy has apparently exorcised Brooke's spirit, but his bad attitude toward her is still present, and now he's just directing his excessively confident dickishness at his boss, his closest colleague, and even his clients. And Alan once again catches Matt being chastely friendly with David and flies way off the handle, only to end up with a much more serious entanglement by episode's end. We hope you don't have any dispute with our podcast on "The Circle Of Strife"!

As we probably all assumed after the last episode, Brooke is not coming back from her fall into the pool. Billy does his best not to let his estranged wife's sudden passing affect his life at all -- with a funeral to plan two days after her death, why wouldn't he still go to work and continue trying to get Alison to sleep with him? -- but it's not up to him: Brooke's restless ghost simply will not leave him alone. Michael, having determined that Kimberly is the right woman for him, won't take any of her many "no"s for an answer, and keeps pressing for them to resume a real relationship and not just keep having sex. Meanwhile, one of Michael's other ex-wives, Jane, turns up the heat with Jake while also soliciting Alison's advice on a pitch to a buyer. Jane then gets so smug about her success that Richard feels obliged to interfere with her deal. Matt is anxious about Alan's new love interest Val (Jeri Ryan!), particularly since Alan's producer has told Matt in so many words to quit being so gay around Alan in public. And Amanda, Bobby, Alycia, and Peter still aren't sure how much their entanglements with one another are about romance or friendship and how much is pure gamesmanship. Slip into something comfortable (and dry) and join us for our podcast on "Devil In A Wet Dress"!
