February 11, 2019 BH S10.E03: You Better Work
Since Now Wear This has been closed ever since that homicide Kelly inconsiderately committed in it, the time has come for a big, splashy grand reopening -- which, due to reasons we never learn, Donna and Kelly have not decided to peg to the launch of Donna's menswear line. But never mind: "the buyers" from "New York" are coming four days early, so Donna's going to have to sew like she's never sewn before. Meanwhile, Gina is still holding a grudge against Princess Kelly, messing with her and Matt by "forgetting" to pass on Kelly's messages. Matt makes them agree to be civil for his sake, but Kelly makes that difficult by not learning her lesson and leaving a message on Matt's office answering machine about her growing doubts that running Now Wear This is where her career passions really lie. Obviously, Gina hears this before Matt does, and just as obviously, she "innocently" relays the news of Kelly's itchy feet to Donna to mess with their personal and professional relationship. Donna and Kelly are so desperate for extra hands that they can't refuse Gina's help after Matt has drafted her to assist in the menswear launch, and so dumb they don't foresee any potential issues in leaving her alone with a whole box of fashion show invitations. When Gina keeps the most important one and sets it on fire, a very predictable series of calamities ensues, culminating in the worst disaster of all: the gang dudes walking Donna's runway in open-toed slides. Dylan makes good on his pledge to Lucy, applying to resume his studies at CU. Unfortunately, CU thinks he is bullshit, and Dylan finds admission isn't something he can charm, bully, or buy his way into. After avoiding Janet for several days, Steve's exposure to nature documentaries convinces him that he is willing to father his child. He then proceeds to freak out, then overcompensate, and generally make Janet long for the days when he wasn't letting her down in her presence. We talk about all of it in our podcast on the disappointingly RuPaul-free "You Better Work"!

February 04, 2019 BH S10.E02: Let’s Eat Cake
Steve has noticed that Janet's busting out of her bodices while also spending less time with him, and jumps to the conclusion that she's acquired some breast implants in anticipation of dumping his ass. Eventually she gets sufficiently annoyed with his hostility to admit that she's pregnant...whereupon Steve disappoints both Kelly's expectations and ours by acting like a real dick about it. It's also David's birthday, and for obvious reasons, Donna's left Gina off the guest list for the surprise party she's planning for him. (One suspects that Donna's come up with the idea of a surprise party at the club in order to force Noah to talk to her about logistics, if nothing else, but he's as sick of her shit, and her apologies, as we are.) When Gina finds out about the party, she assumes Dylan will also be sitting it out, and is stunned to learn that while the gang is punishing for boning him, they're not punishing HIM for boning HER. She develops a scheme to derail the party plans, which we assume Dylan wouldn't twig to even if he weren't caught up being a sponsor (lol) to Lucy, another current drug abuser who grew up in the hotel. Matt is still trying to reassure Kelly that he doesn't feel different about her since her rape, without seeming to understand that she feels different about her, and therefore that sex with him is not at the top of her to-do list (as it were). We discuss it all in our podcast on "Let's Eat Cake"!

January 28, 2019 BH S10.E01: The Phantom Menace
Time for the payoff of the Season 9 finale cliffhanger: yes, some of the bullets Kelly shot actually ended up in Joe, and he is dead. Everyone springs into action: Matt starts defending Kelly against possible homicide charges; Dylan starts getting defensive, somehow, about his choice to give Kelly an unlicensed, unregistered firearm that went on to be used to kill someone; and Steve and Janet start bickering about whether Kelly's rapist really deserved incarceration or death. The drama surrounding Kelly's arrest hasn't distracted David from his anger at Dylan, which leads him to kick Dylan out of their house and back into the Beverly Royale Hotel -- you know, where we all remember Dylan living in high school? When everyone sees Gina on a TV news report referring to Kelly as her roommate who killed someone (which is...literally what Kelly is), Donna adds that to her resentment of Gina for sleeping with Dylan again -- way to tattle, David -- and kicks her out of the beach apartment. Does Kelly get charged with murder? Does Dylan let Gina move into his phat hotel pad? And what is making Janet so moody? We discuss it all in our podcast on "The Phantom Menace"!

January 21, 2019 BH S09.E26: That’s The Guy
Kelly continues pushing down her anger and fear following her sexual assault, though it apparently helps her cope to keep the gun Dylan gave her in her purse. (And let's face it: if a mishap took out a Peach Pit After Dark patron, would it really be the worst thing?) At least Dylan and Matt are managing not to hold their pissing contests about which of them is better qualified to help her through this ordeal in her presence. Dylan's efforts at helping track down Kelly's assailant are interrupted by his conflicted feelings about the closeness growing between Gina and David, which he handles as expected, which is to say, poorly and immaturely. She doesn't exactly cover herself with glory either, but she does cover herself with...something! Noah finally figures out that Donna's hiding something from him and dumps her ass. While she's ignoring his calls, Wayne makes himself available, and one lobster dinner later, Donna's putting a third notch on her bedpost. The next morning, she's barely had a chance to come to terms with the news that Wayne is still leaving town as planned when Noah shows up to discover her with an unbuttoned Wayne and throw a shit fit about it. Finally, learning that the Beat is in the black only revives Janet's doubts about whether she's shaming the field of journalism by working there. We'll take you through all the explosive events of the Season 9 finale in our podcast on "That's The Guy"!

January 14, 2019 S09.E25: Agony
A remarkable photo in the Beat draws the attention of the Chronicle's art critic. And since Steve is the photographer in question, he leans into his new status as an artist to impress Janet, ending up with more grass in his teeth than good shots on his film. Donna continues dithering between her lingering feelings of love (or obligation, depending on your perspective) for Noah and her burning lust for Wayne. But can she actually allow herself to try to separate sex from feelings? This is a question she keeps bringing to Kelly, despite the very obvious signals Kelly is sending that she is going through some serious shit right now. After taking herself to Cedars, talking to a detective, and going through a rape exam, Kelly tries to keep her assault a secret, but eventually cracks under questioning by Dylan. His efforts to support her only arouse suspicion from Gina, for obvious reasons, but also from David, who's now considering taking a run at Gina himself. The latest round of Dylan/Kelly drama distracts Gina from her efforts to get cast in a touring ice show, and pushing her bulimia to a crisis point. We discuss it all (...carefully) in our podcast on "Agony."

January 07, 2019 BH S09.E24: Dog’s Best Friend
As the Beverly Beat's mandate strays further and further from journalism, it seems Steve has stumbled upon a lucrative revenue stream: The Love Fisher, a computer program that matches singles with ruthless efficiency. First Janet gets curious about how much better the Love Fisher is at picking dudes for her than she is at picking them for herself; then it's Steve's turn to find out what kind of lady the computer thinks he should be with. Will Janet decide she's settled for a good enough guy, and will Steve cling to her for dear life? Noah has apparently transitioned into defending his dead father's reputation on a full-time basis, and is still being very snitty about it to Matt. Then Matt produces a fat environmental impact report which, when Noah reads it (lol, sure he does), convinces him that his father was a big scumbag after all. Speaking of scumbags: Donna is growing ever less certain that shacking up with Noah is the right move, so it's probably just as well that he has the lawsuit to occupy his attention. In the wake of his breakup with Gina, Dylan decides to take off for Vegas with David, who is soon disgusted by Dylan's willingness not to have a one-night stand with Mary but to lie to her about how serious a relationship the two of them might potentially have. Mary then clings, which David encourages, leading to an awkward moment on Dylan's doorstep when both his brunettes show up at the same time. Gina's got her own problems, which begin with a lost filling and continue through Mel's correct diagnosis of her bulimia. When Dylan can't convince Gina to give him a fifteenth chance, he calls Kelly with a threat to start using again, summoning her to a bad neighbourhood and into the path of a predator. We discuss it all (with trigger warnings, because: yikes) in our podcast on "Dog's Best Friend."

December 31, 2018 BH S09.E23: The End Of The World As We Know It
It's April 1999, so Steve has finally gotten around to knowing what the Y2K bug and spectacularly overreacting with his doomsday prepping. Is this a healthy response to a possible technological meltdown or, as Janet suspects, a pretext for putting off planning for their future together? Recovering sex addict Katie decides she wants to take her relationship with David to the next level after fourteen months of celibacy; David is so horny that he goes with it instead of considering the implications of what she's asking of him. An ex-colleague of Matt's dumps a toxic waste cancer cluster case on him, which Matt is able to pursue thanks to Dylan's generous backing -- even after Matt tells him one of the defendants is Hunter Oil & Chemical. Noah's pissed. Then a series of farcical events leads to Dylan and Gina watching a nannycam video of an oblivious Matt and Kelly getting it on. Dylan's pissed. Dylan's attempts to get over his jealousy by staging an over-the-top date for Gina leads her to accuse him of having boned Kelly in Mexico, which he doesn't deny. Gina's pissed. In the background, Donna taps a pro beach volleyball player as her menswear muse, though she should be less worried about his pants than hers, which get increasingly hot for him as the episode wears on. We discuss it all in our podcast on "The End Of The World As We Know It"!

December 24, 2018S09.E22: Local Hero
One of the most convoluted plotlines of the season encompasses the following: a legitimate chance encounter between Dylan and Kelly; the idiotic decision by Kelly, on the phone with Matt when Dylan rolls up, not just to say, "Oh hey, I just ran into Dylan!" and instead to say she's on her way to run errands; a tweaker trying to rob a pregnant woman in broad daylight at fucking Bristol Farms by taking her son hostage; Dylan's foiling of said robbery; Steve's decision to try to infiltrate a sex addicts' meeting to mine content for the Beat; Kelly's even more idiotic decision to tell a real reporter that when the mugger showed up, she was having coffee in her car with STEVE, who went on to save this stranger's life; Gina's need for Matt to represent her in contract negotiations over a commentator job at the Skating Channel. Plus: Noah has a half sister. We'll try to untangle the million knots in these plotlines in our podcast on "Local Hero"!
