90210- Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot?

"New Year, Fresh Start"

Isn't it just the greatest thing when you watch a show and they throw you such a twist you kind of forget how to speak. That's usually not the case with 90210, so this weeks episode caught me a little off-guard.

Naomi is finally maturing. The Naomi from past seasons was always so boy oriented she never let her smartness and her abilities shine. That has changed ever since she took on this new internship. Realistically the girl is a college student that has urges and needs and sometimes she gets a little carried away in the heat of the moment, but when she finally confronted Austin about the cheating she acted like the mature young woman we never knew she could be. She resisted her urges and put herself and her happiness first. And for a woman like Naomi Clark that happiness is in being a strong open minded woman that doesn't rely on a man to get her anywhere.

The Navid situation finally figured itself out thanks to Silver, but sadly enough once something breaks a couple up, getting back to where they were before seems almost impossible. As much as Silver still has feelings for Navid, she has opened up to somebody new and let herself be happy in a mature relationship that she started feeling comfortable in. Like the theme of the episode, out with the old in with the new, that is exactly what Silver was doing. As much as it hurts to let go of the past, sometimes once you do better things come along. Thats where the twist comes in, by some coincidence Silvers boyfriends daughter is actually adopted.... She's Adriannas real daughter. Now you might think that this story line could have been seen before hand given they brought up Ade's baby a couple of episodes back, but in some sneaky way, that I myself never caught on. How is Silver going to go about the relationship now? Her and Ade haven't been on the best terms. Ade is Navid's ex. He left Ade for Silver. Now Silver is dating a guy who adopted Ade's kid. Thats some pretty messed up stuff right there. Will this be the thing that brings Navid and Silver back together?

The most tragic story line in this whole show has to revolve around Liam and Annie who just cannot seem to figure this whole dating each other thing out. They are that one couple on the show that everybody roots for, and you know those couples are usually on and off every fricking episode to the point that it drives you mad.... Anyways. After Liam realized he wanted to be with Annie last year (?) he was in a tragic accident and Annie left to Paris to visit her mother and shockingly some new blonde bimbo came into the picture... (Sorry Lexi). Annie isn't as dumb as she looks though, the minute she heard that there was maroon paint on Liams bike she was suspicious of this new girl and if she didn't have a heart she would have totally been able to convince Liam this girl was a psycho-path. But of course there has to be reason to stretch the story and after she "accidentally" switched bags with the new girl she finds out that the girl has been lying about her name and identity. If this doesn't set off the psycho alarms for Liam, I don't know what will. Strangely enough there are no other witnesses to the accident, but hmm maybe there were camera's? This girl basically lied her way out of an accident and into the "model of the years" bed. She saw her chance and she took it, now Annie has to find a way to remove her... Permanently. 

I'll condense the less interesting story lines into one. First off for someone who married a guy she just met at the age of like 19, Ivy doesn't seem to be too distraught about loosing Raj. Their story was so wrapped up in how much they loved each other and how depressed she was about his cancer and the fact that he was going to die, but it was all temporary and fleeting. She basically did loose him now and it seems like she doesn't even care. The lesson out of this: Don't marry someone until you have been with them for a while and your not getting married out of selfish reasons. Dixon also never really gets any interesting angles in this show. He is either a druggie or jealous over his girlfriends and it kind of makes him look shallow. Let me put it this way, if a college student got booked for some huge gig in the entertainment world I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mess it up because some booking manager dude was hitting on their girlfriend. Do you see what happens in Hollywood? That dress Ade was going to wear was a rag, not a sexy revealing article of clothing. Priorities Dixon, priorities. And let me just say if I was Ade and my boyfriend would mess up such an opportunity for me, I would probably break up with him. Forever.
