  • BH S09.E10: Marathon Man
    The approaching yuletide holidays haven't given Dylan any more concern for either her busy schedule as the co-proprietress of a retail clothing store, nor for her relationship with a dude who isn't him. So with that in mind, of course he has no compunction about getting her on a private plane and flying her to Mexico for huevos rancheros, authentic sombreros, and a Mayan fertility statue into which he can stuff an extremely tiny amount of heroin. Gina takes a break from her suspicions about Sonia -- now working off her debt to Donna at the store (when she's not using the space to bone a dude after hours) -- to be jealous of the attention Dylan's paying Kelly and hang around close enough to swoop in as soon as Kelly tells Dylan she's not interested in taking him back. Gina's so willing to take Kelly's sloppy seconds that she even agrees to take exactly the same trip to Mexico Dylan took Kelly on and receive the gift of exactly the same Mayan sculpture, filled with exactly the same smuggled contraband. It's just Gina's bad luck that the store gets robbed when she knocks off early to go fuck around in Cabo and drive Kelly back into Matt's arms. Through all this, Noah is using Gina as his TaskRabbit for Donna's surprise birthday party, because he is just as oblivious about Gina's feelings about her cousin as Donna herself is. And in the background of everyone's week is a dance marathon AIDS fundraiser at the club for which Steve accidentally makes an overly generous pledge. Does Steve then try to scam a charity? You know he does. We take you through all the highs and lows "Marathon Man" in our latest podcast!

  • BH S09.E09: The Following Options
    Kelly spent all of "I'm Back Because" -- well, all except when she was making eyes at Dylan -- getting between her mother and her grandfather, to make sure her grandfather's legally documented wishes with regard to the end of his life were being followed. So naturally, in this episode, all Jackie has to do is call and ask Kelly to put her failing grandfather on a ventilator for Kelly to utterly disregard her legal responsibility. It seems to be mostly so that she has something to do this week -- specifically, feel real bad. And also guilt Matt about his smoking. Gina decides there's no point continuing to try to break up Donna's relationship so she can snatch Noah up for herself as long as Dylan's around, kissing up to him with pizza and beer and trying to get details on why things between him and Kelly fell apart. Dylan barely has time to bother negging her given his busy schedule of mooning over the car his late wife was killed in. Steve continues struggling with the challenge of behaving appropriately in response to Samantha's later-in-life coming-out, though Steve's not the only one: the tabloids have gotten the story and there are repercussions for her career. Finally: if you thought Kelly's resignation from the Clinic meant we'd be done seeing gangsters trying to fix the lives of disadvantaged Angelenos, you didn't predict Donna's new job running a fashion boutique would throw her in the path of an actual teen-girl gangster with some truly cutting critiques for Donna's designs. We're discussing "The Following Options" on our latest podcast!

  • BH S09.E08: I’m Back Because
    Since Gina doesn't have a job -- or an agent, even, despite what she's told Donna -- she's got nothing but time to devote to the new project she's pursuing post-Cabaret On Ice: Donna And Noah On The Rocks. When she's alone with Donna, she diligently shit-talks Noah (not that hard, given his many failings) to try to change Donna's mind about making their relationship work. And when she's alone with Noah, she suggests reasons it's not worth his trying to get back into Donna's good graces, what with how demanding and spoiled Donna is. The antique tech known as an answering machine plays a supporting role in Gina's scheming, but will Donna and Noah's beautiful love story survive Gina's assaults?! Speaking of assault, David's still facing charges for statutory rape, though Matt can't quite devote all his attention to it while also dealing with his shaky finances. Stepping into the breach is Dylan, freelance investigator, who feels free to cast aspersions on Denise's sincerity and the elder O'Lares' parenting while also enlisting Mrs. Teasley in his efforts to discredit a minor child. Sure glad his smarmy ass came back. Kelly's a lot happier to have Dylan back in her life right now, as she tries to figure out how to handle her dying grandfather's desire to end treatment and her mother's refusal to honour his wishes -- not that Dylan's that eager to hear about her problems until she basically forces him to. Samantha has several bones to pick with Steve, from the direction the Beat has taken into trashy celebrity coverage to his disapproval of her choice of partner. We'll give you two guesses whose side we're on and the first doesn't count. We're talking about all of it in our podcast on "I'm Back Because"!

  • BH S09.E07: You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello
    With Noah continuing his downward spiral of regret and self-recrimination following his father's suicide, it turns out not to have been a great idea for him to buy a bar: he's drinking a lot, and driving drunk, and maybe hitting someone? Donna's distracted from her usual fussing by the arrival of her cousin Gina -- former Olympic figure skater, current Ice Capade star, and [touches earpiece] I'm being told she impulsively quits the Capades in the cold open and sets to her task of running game on the gangsters. Yes, you'd think that Sophie's departure (http://previously.tv/beverly-hills-90210/beverly-hills-90210-lets-kelly-plot-to-steal-another-baby/) would mean that's Val's fault, but Val seems to be cycling nice: she's even planning to throw this year's Thanksgiving dinner at the Walsh house! Then Kelly finds a letter from Val, among Brandon's things, in which she counsels him not to marry Kelly. In retaliation, Kelly plans her own competing Thanksgiving dinner, and is only dissuaded from this bitchy reaction to Val's non-part in Kelly and Brandon's entirely mutual decision not to get married when David tells Kelly everything that happened with Val and her late father. Kelly forces a dinner on Val -- interrupting her perfectly reasonable choice to replace turkey dinner with an entire pie -- so Val figures it's about time for her to admit that she's getting ready to peace out in a matter of hours. In the background of all this, Gina's cozying up to a very drunk Noah and calling her bitter mom to shit-talk Donna. David's radio stardom (?) may end due to his latest hookup, because she's seventeen and her parents are pissed. Finally, Steve and Janet are still trying to figure out exactly what they're doing with each other friends with benefits-wise: she's still okay with their arrangement, but he's caught feelings. We take you through "You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello" in our latest podcast!

  • BH S09.E06: Confession
    It's time for Leah to have her day in court, and a custody settlement allowing Lenny basically unfettered access to their baby -- and, therefore, to Leah herself -- is obviously not the result she had hoped for. Enter Kelly, who's ready and willing to help Leah get out of the county on an assumed identity. Unfortunately for Leah, Kelly has no idea how to do any of that. On top of that, Noah's ongoing grief-induced self-destruction has Donna looking for comfort elsewhere, and since Matt is the guy she has her eye on, it's really cramping her style to have to cover for Kelly and Leah's shady plans with, you know, Lenny's lawyer. Speaking of Noah: he's still drunk and ridiculous, and now involving Val in his ill-conceived efforts at self-medication, including...illegal street racing? And despite all the time he spends with her, Noah fails to notice that Val's going through her own shit -- specifically, that she's determined to get closure about her father's death by turning herself in to the cops. A bad experience with a skeevy photographer who uses Sophie's inexperience as a model to coerce her into posing nude leads Sophie to try to pay her bills through honest means. Sadly for Nat, this requires him to give her a job as a waitress. At least one of her customers has a good experience, though: an heir named Tom who's so taken by Sophie that he's prepared to take her on as his sugar baby, starting immediately. In Brandon's absence, Steve and Janet have a lot of Beat pages to fill and only Steve's bad idea as to how they should fill them: they should remake the paper as a Weekly World News-style tabloid! This leads them to investigate an allegedly haunted hotel, where they get locked into a walk-in fridge, and nature takes its course. We're hitting all the highs and lows of "Confession" in our latest Again With This podcast!

  • BH S09.E05: Brandon Leaves
    Sophie's multifarious strategy to take over the entertainment industry leads her to consider working in adult films, despite all the great advice David's giving her about being patient and waiting her turn and paying her dues -- you know, like he did, which is why he's currently having such a successful career scoring movies LOL. Noah continues grieving his father in extremely drunken ways, and continues rebuffing all Donna's efforts to get him to talk to her about it, instead opening up to the only person in his orbit who might understand how he feels: Val, whose father also killed himself...as far as Noah knows. About that: Abby still hasn't decided whether she really is going to follow through on her threat to turn Valerie in for her father's murder, and when Val asks Matt about it, his advice is pretty much "Hope she doesn't, idk." Matt is also dealing with a lot of judgment from Kelly for continuing to represent Lenny in his custody battle with Leah -- but never mind all that: Brandon's received a job offer to cover D.C. for the New York Chronicle, so everyone must figure out how they're going to get along without him until he starts making noises about maybe staying after all. But DOES HE? Find out with our discussion about "Brandon Leaves" which, yes, okay, does kind of answer the question.
