December 17, 2018 S09.E21: I Want to Reach Right Out & Grab Ya
A routine visit to her parents' house leaves Donna on the receiving end of a shocking announcement that, now that she's firmly in her mid-twenties, they feel certain she is strong enough to hear: they're getting a divorce. Like the rest of us, Donna is pretty sure it's Felice's fault, since she's been a nasty rag the entire time we've known her. But when Donna's attempts to pull a holy Parent Trap on them -- seriously, a priest is involved -- Noah journeys to the golf course to find out what's really behind Dr. Martin's restlessness. The complications of the Gina/Dylan/Kelly/Matt love quadrangle continues to metastasize such that this week it entails pool hustling, Olympic gold medalist housesitting, a chimney sweep, a hypnotist, and a mugger. (One of those is fake; try to guess which!) With Claudia returned to Venezuela, David has more time to spend on rehabilitating the career of a has-been DJ whose name is Sonny Sharp but who looks a lot like Shadoe Stevens. And when the Beat's latest freak-show subject is an eleven-year-old child prodigy, Steve makes it his mission to get the kid to relax and be as juvenile as Steve himself is. We discuss it all -- including how easy it would have been for anyone to have looked up the actual lyrics to the Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra" -- in our podcast on "I Wanna Reach Right Out & Grab Ya"!

December 10, 2018 S09.E20: Fortune Cookie
Last time, Noah's inability to fill the club was pushing him toward financial ruination, but now everything's fine, and he and Dylan are working together amicably to promote an upcoming show by fictional artist Cole Younger with a raffle to win a date with him -- in his hotel room, creepily? Anyway, Dylan's first act as manager of the Peach Pit After Dark is to fix the raffle and award the date to Kelly, only to be outmaneuvered by Gina, who just poses as Kelly to claim it for herself. This causes a variety of issues: Kelly is pissed to have to give up her prize (which she knows is ill-gotten); Matt is pissed that she keeps talking to Dylan about it (and also that her attempts to change his image for an ambulance-chasing TV ad are secretly about her wanting to change him into her ex); Dylan is pissed that Gina spends the night in Cole's hotel room; and Gina is pissed that Dylan's uninvited trip to said hotel room ends in a physical assault. Are emotions running so high to ratchet up the tension for a record-breaking hate-fuck? Claudia and David ignore Matt's advice and pursue plans to commit immigration fraud, despite the fact that both of them seem extremely (and, unusually for these nitwits, appropriately) apprehensive about it. Donna's old West Beverly Big Sister Ashley reappears in her life as both start circling the school's production of Romeo & Juliet; Donna's volunteering to make the costumes, while Ashley is building a bad-touch case against beloved drama teacher Mr. Bigelow. Steve's decision to fire a psychic results in her making the (self-fulfilling) prophecy that he's about to go impotent. We'll discuss how flaccid the plotting gets in our Again With This podcast on "Fortune Cookie"!

December 03, 2018 S09.E19: The Leprechaun
Since Kelly's extremely awkward relationship with Matt isn't taking up much of her time, she can seek fulfillment in other areas of her life -- like the store! Suddenly remembering that she's supposed to be in charge of business affairs, she gets the idea of hiring a publicist. Donna gets upset at the idea, nervous that taking any steps to push the business past "good" or fine" will lead to a level of success they can't rely on? It's confusing. But Kelly overrules her to throw a (re-)launch party to get press coverage and they both put on their dumbest outfits to co-hostess. Matt, for his part, still isn't sure he's ready to take back up with Kelly post-Lauren; will a couple seeking his help with a prenup make him more or less likely to believe in true love? Noah gets an offer from a restaurateur who wants to move into the Peach Pit's location. Though he wants to remain loyal to Nat if for no other reason than that he'd have to hear about it from Donna otherwise, he's also in the middle of his own money troubles: he's three payments behind on his mortgage. When he tells Nat he's about to lose his lease unless he can pay double his current rent, Nat (apparently) tattles to Dylan, who proceeds to insert himself into their business…soon to become his business. Things are going well for Claudia and David until she tells him she's going to have to move back to Venezuela soon, following the expiration of her visa. If only there were another solution to green card problems that pop culture just LOVES to portray! Finally, Steve's latest gimmick, pegged to St. Patrick's Day, is offensive both to little people and to butchers. We explain how in our Again With This podcast on "The Leprechaun"!

November 26, 2018 BH S09.E18: Bobby Dearest
Gina having learned that Felice is legally responsible for the theft of all her trust fund money, she takes the completely reasonable next step of pursuing legal action to recover the lost principal -- and Donna, who absolutely thought Gina should sue her trustee back when she thought the trustee was her bank, now takes it personally. (Present yet silent through all of this is Bobbi, the one who actually used all that stolen money for her own benefit, which is weird?) Donna doesn't love being in the middle of these warring family factions, which may be why she decides to get support through her ordeal from Noah and act like there was any ambiguity about the end of their relationship despite her having told him "It's over" in precisely those words. David is pissed that Donna's throwing him over again, but decides to get over it by following her advice and using his radio show to solicit applicants for the job of his girlfriend. Matt returns from New York to a fraught emotional situation with Kelly, who wants him back and doesn't want to acknowledge whatever's been going on between herself and Dylan since he came back to town. However, Kelly's going to have to figure out which guy she wants to be with because while Dylan does get into a jetski crash, a good samaritan inconsiderately saves him from death by drowning; it turns out both of them have been frozen by tragedy -- but can they help each other through it by finding new meaning in their lives? We discuss it all in our podcast on "Bobbi Dearest"!

November 19, 2018 BH S09.E17: Slipping Away
The Durnings having decided they'd prefer Lauren to be schizophrenia symptom-free in the short term than alive in the long term, they're going to ill-conceived lengths to try to track down clozapine without a prescription. Kelly, veteran of the Clinic Clinic, thinks she can help solve their problem with an illicit trip south of the border, and who better to bankroll the scheme and act as her bodyguard than Dylan? That Dylan's relationship with Gina is undefined at the moment makes him extra-flirty, and Kelly's confusion about where she stands with Matt (and his wife?) makes her guilty after she gives into her throbbing biological urges. Gina's got big plans to open her own gym, and while she's still too young to crack into the trust full of the money she earned figure skating as a minor, she wants to know how much there is so she can use it as collateral for a business loan. Unfortunately, her estimate is way higher than the reality. Has her unethical mother Bobbi been embezzling, or is another trustee to blame? When she's not chasing down financial records, Gina blabs to Noah that Donna and David are giving their relationship a fourth shot (or is it fifth?), and Noah is a bitch about it. While Steve might have thought his and Janet's problems were settled once he decided he wanted them to make their relationship official, he wasn't prepared to learn that her very traditional Japanese dad doesn't want her seeing anyone outside their community. We'll be screaming about his inaccurate uses of words like "bigot" and "racist," among other things, in our podcast on "Slipping Away"!

November 12, 2018 BH S09.E16: Survival Skills
You may thing that "Beheading St. Valentine" will save you from any further angst in your relationship. Not in the zip! All the established couples start out cozy with a brunch at the Walsh house at which the reunited Durnings are holding forth about their marriage -- until Kelly shows up with a sleeping bag for Steve and makes everyone feel awkward because, you know, she obviously wasn't invited. Kelly continues whining about Matt to anyone who will listen, which ends up being Dylan and no one else, though she manages to listen to Dylan long enough to hear his yearning for purpose in his life and tries to buy it for him in the form of a vintage T-Bird like the one he used to work on as a kid with the uncle we've never heard of before. This makes Gina jealous for rightly assuming Dylan and Kelly are sniffing around each other again, even as she manipulates Noah into telling Donna what happened on the infamous Night Of The Photo Booth -- which, after a false start in which he suggests moving in together instead, he does. Donna flees the wreckage of her relationship with Noah to her friendship with David, though maybe "friendship" isn't actually the right word. Oh AND through all this Lauren and Matt are dealing with the news that if Lauren continues taking clozapine, the (apparently real) wonder drug that brought her back after three years of incapacitation, it will kill her. Meanwhile, Steve and Janet go on a camping trip to have bear STUFF with a couple of disadvantaged teens, who deserve better.
