Tonight "90210" returned for a new season and the drama picked up in the exact moments where we left off.
Silver, who desperately wants to have a child, has asked Teddy to be her baby daddy. Teddy is back with a new, longer hair do that has him looking 10 years older than the rest of the crew (which he is in real life). Silver propositions Teddy by saying, "I just want sperm and a card at Christmas." Ha! At the end of the episode, Teddy knocks on Silver's door and is holding a Christmas card. Before she can say anything he opens the card to reveal a short message, "I'll do it." Please let them show the awkwardness when Silver and Teddy try to sleep together.
Meanwhile, Adriana hops a plane to Las Vegas with Austin to perform on the same stage as Carly Rae Jepsen. While at the hotel, Adriana hooks up with a stranger who hits on her at the lobby bar. At the close of the episode this Vegas guy shows up at Liam's bar looking for Adriana and Navid winds up suggesting that he help revive the bar with his club promoting skills. The question is: who is this guy?
In last season's finale Dixon was in a car accident. Tonight Annie gets called down to the morgue to identify what she thinks is Dixon's body. Turns out Dixon was the only passenger who survived and he's in critical condition at a nearby hospital. Ok morgue man, how the hell could you wait so long to tell the gang that their was a fourth passenger? Good grief!
At the hospital when Dixon opens his eyes the first word out of his mouth is, "Adriana." Annie calls Adriana's cell and demands that she come see Dixon. The hospital also brings the return of Aunt Becky! I thought it was a little weird that after arriving she comforted a crying Annie before even asking to see Dixon. Toward the end of the episode we learn that Dixon's condition is stable but that his ability to walk and to use his hands has been affected.
This hour Liam's ex Vanessa returns to stake her claim on his Hollywood career. After a drunk afternoon on the beach, Liam accidentally sets the bar on fire. He winds up seeing it as a blessing so he can collect the insurance money and use it to buy out Vanessa on his film contract. Too bad Vanessa overheard Liam on the phone with the insurance company. She is definitely going to ruin this.
Lastly, Naomi and Max leave his wedding to get hitched in their own way. They take the white limo and head towards Las Vegas. On the way Naomi hits Max in the eye with a champagne cork and then hitch hikes to get them to Nevada. They wind up in a car with a bank robber and ultimately land in jail. Typical Naomi.
Max's business partner shows up to save the day. Turns out, he hates Naomi and only plans to salvage Max. For a minute I had a feeling this mystery business partner was going to hook up with Teddy. I can't explain, I just felt it.
This episode left us with many questions: Who is this Vegas guy? Is Vanessa going to expose Liam and the bar fire? Will Dixon walk again? Will Silver and Teddy become parents?
Have a prediction? Chime in!
