Storyline

Adrianna has to un-invite Navid to her magazine premiere party after Victor arranges for her to go with Joe Jonas to boost her image. Annie and Dixon visit their dad but are shocked when a woman answers the door. A series of mishaps lead Jen to conclude that she is a bad mother, so she makes a decision with Ryan and her son's best interest in mind. Naomi and Ivy team up to seek revenge on Oscar with a plan that involves skinny-dipping in the Beach Club pool. Navid discovers that his father may be using underage girls in his porn films and convinces Silver to go undercover.

Quotes

Navid Shirazi: [going surfing with Dixon and Liam] I didn't expect to see you here. Got a day off from driving Miss Daisy?
Liam Court: Daisy took a cab. She's got a full afternoon of "purse business". She knows the rules, man. I deal with her, but not the drugs.
Dixon Wilson: I still can't believe that girl deals, man. It's not even like she needs the money. I swear, I'll never understand rich kids.
Liam Court: Trying to understand rich kids is like trying to understand LeBron James. The more you talk about it, the angrier you get.

User Reviews

The episode started off with a picture of "Mother Theresa."

I guess I should have known that this would be a subpar episode when it started with a media-created persona known as "Mother Theresa." Just as it would be blasphemous in polite society to question the real woman behind the persona, so it might to the 90210 fan to hear a question about the show. Well, I guess--I suppose--it was inevitable that a strong run of episodes would come to an end, but I did not figure it would fall apart so soon. I hope this is just an abnormality and that regular service will be restored next week. It would be nice to see a more realistic portrayal of the end of relationships, for example, although the show is doing an alright job so far.
