Previously on 90210: Adrianna, what's wrong with you?

You can't go out there like this.

Of course I can.

Annie, you're up. Change out of that costume.

Put on Adrianna's.

Mom, it's not just

a casual fling with her and Dad.

He's moving her into the beach house.

What?

Give me a break!

You are never gonna be happy with somebody else

because you're still

in love with Dylan, and you know it!

So, you think more about the party after?

In your hotel room?

Ty's in the shower.

In the shower?

Rinsing off.

He didn't tell you to meet him here, too, did he?

♪ ♪

Here's the thing, Adrianna.

If you have a problem and you let us know now,

then there are options.

I don't know what Miss Walsh told you,

but all I did was take some cough medicine

to preserve my voice.

Which is something She's been doing

since she won the Miss Sunburst Beauty Pageant at age six.

I don't know what you were on,

but you were on more than just

cough syrup, and you know it.

Do you have proof of that?

Okay, this is not just about Adrianna's behavior

the night of the play.

Her attendance this year has been terrible;

she shows up late and exhausted;

her eyes are red...

Okay, you know what?

I go to, like, five auditions a week, so, yeah,

I'm a little tired, but that doesn't mean I'm on drugs.

Well, maybe it's time to think about pulling back

on the acting a little bit.

Well, maybe it's time

you think about lightening her workload.

That's not gonna happen.

Adrianna, you are

a fantastic actress.

And if you choose to,

you're gonna have great success,

but there's plenty of time for that.

Maybe you should take a little bit of pressure

off of yourself right now.

Do you really think I want to end up like you,

acting in some tragic theater company, (scoffs)

directing high school musicals in my spare time?

No, thanks.

Adrianna, this is the one and only time

we're gonna offer you this solution.

If we find out that you're using

unprescribed or illegal drugs,

we'll have no choice but to expel you.

You people

are unbelievable.

Isn't it enough

you embarrassed her in front of the

entire school, not to mention

half a dozen industry executives?

Adrianna does not use drugs.

If you try to imply otherwise,

I'll sue.

Come on, baby.

Let's go.

Good job.

You were amazing, Annie.

You were so good.

Oh, my God, it's like you were performing just for me.

Nice job, Ty.

GIRL: Good job, Annie.

(students applauding)

Annie, we need to talk.

No, we don't. In fact, I think

it'd be best if you just never spoke to me again ever.

I don't get you.

You don't get me?

It's a joke.

Annie, please, just...

(exasperated sigh)

Oh! I'm sorry.

Yeah, right.

You're the girl who took Adrianna's part.

ADRIANNA: Principal Wilson's daughter.

It's all starting to make sense now, isn't it?

Yep.

God, what is her problem?!

She is having a rough time.

Yeah, but so is everybody else.

It's called "high school."

I'm just saying it might be easier

if you can find a way to be the bigger person

where she is concerned.

Oh.

My mom said she read in some cougar blog that

apparently, young guys like the "trick" with the Altoids.

Oh, wow.

I live in a nightmare.

I mean, my parents are acting like

20 years' worth of marriage meant nothing.

Sorry. Don't.

Don't what?

Don't say you're sorry like there's no hope.

Your dad's the one who said there's no hope.

Only because Gail has him under some kind of spell.

I mean, the minute he got in the same room with my mom,

they ended up in bed together.

What does that tell you?

That they're still horny.

No, that they still have feelings for each other.

All I have to do is get them back

in the same place at the same time.

How are you gonna do that?

Um, I kind of have to cancel our dinner plans.

Is that okay?

Why? (phone beeps on)

'Cause I have dinner plans

with Daddy and his mistress.

Hello, kitten. Daddy?

And what about Bill Fontaine? I mean,

is he still in Milan?

Figures. Well, see if you can get him anyway.

And send me a list of everybody who's stateside and available.

Thank you.

Antonio is... is everything okay?

No. The Pacific Coast Fashion Show's

one of my biggest jobs of the year,

and my #2 photographer's just... pulled out.

Oh, and you can't shoot an entire runway show by yourself?

And everyone I ever worked with

is either booked or out of the country.

Antonio...

maybe I could work the show with you.

I mean, you said yourself

I did a great job

with the Los Angeles Magazine spread.

Debbie, thanks, but this type of shoot,

it's, it's rough work, even for veterans.

Tough angles, difficult light...

I wouldn't offer

if I didn't think I was 100% ready.

I know how important

this job is to you.

The models come later today for camera tests.

Let's just...

see how that goes, and we'll take it from there.

You won't be sorry. I promise.

(quietly): Yes!

I can't believe this.

What?

Dude, you've been in Beverly Hills, like, ten minutes

and you're already have a girlfriend.

You know what that makes me?

A loser?

No, a third wheel.

See, this is why you don't go

befriending the new kid,

because they're always gonna be your friend until this.

Wow. Needy much? Whoa...

I mean, is this like a bona fide mid-teen breakdown right now?

All I'm saying

is that I refuse to be the third wheel.

Are we clear?

Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Yes, listen, I'm gonna let you guys just hug this out

while I go try to blog Navid a whole new wheel.

Please don't do that.

Hey, the only thing worse

than a third wheel

is a fully exposed

squeaky one, okay?

Ugh, yeah, it's just kind of what I do.

Later.

Silver, I'm serious.

Dude, what the hell?

Touch me again.

So what do you think is up next for Adrianna?

Well, honestly, uh, rehab at Promises.

Maybe a mug shot on Perez Hilton. I don't know.

Really, how do you relate to a child actor

who probably peaked at age 14?

It's a shame it had to go this way, Brenda,

'cause it really seemed

like you were getting through to her during the play.

Maybe if I had just let her go on,

none of this would be happening.

No, you did the right thing.

I saw her that night, too,

and something is definitely up.

Or maybe she's telling the truth.

I mean, maybe it really is just a classic case

of militant stage mom

meets one-too-many hits of Robitussin.

On a lighter note,

what's next for Brenda Walsh?

Well, tonight is our final performance at the Taper,

so I'm thinking, afterwards, a glass of chardonnay

and a hot bath sounds about right. (phone ringing)

What about you two?

Oh, well, I was hoping I'd take this one to dinner.

Hello? What do you say, Kels?

Tonight the night?

Uh... Hi.

What's the matter?

It's Dylan.

Where is he?

He says Wyoming.

Yeah, well,

um, actually, I'm here with Kel now.

Okay.

He wants to talk to you.

Hello?

Uh, who's Dylan?

Sammy's dad.

Yeah.

Don't forget your "Future Enterpriser" assignments

are due next week.

Five pages detailing your research on any career

in any industry that interests you.

No, Adrianna, you can't do the paper on yourself.

(laughter, school bell rings)

Annie, what's your plan for the assignment?

Um, my mom's taking pictures

at the Pacific Coast Fashion Show.

Dixon and I are gonna be her assistants, so I thought

I could write about that.

You, uh, think your mom could use

a third helper?

Um...

Thanks, I don't need your charity.

No, what you need

is a B or higher on this assignment to keep

from failing my class.

Fine.

Yeah, we are leaving

right after school for my mom's studio,

and if you're late, we're leaving without you.

Good, then it's settled.

Have you lost your mind?

I want nothing to do with you.

No, if anybody gets to have a problem here, it's me with you.

Oh, are you serious?

You stole my part in the play.

Adrianna,

I was your understudy.

I had to go on. You, on the other hand,

did not need to sleep with Ty.

Then why are you helping me?

Because

unlike you, I'm actually a nice person.

Kind of ran off there. You okay?

Kelly?

Oh, yeah, sorry.

Brenda filled me in

on the whole Dylan saga.

Thought he was supposed to be off saving the world.

Uh, well, he said he was tired of traveling.

He wants to come back home.

But not to you and Sammy.

Not to Beverly Hills, at least.

He wants me and Sammy with him.

Guess a romantic dinner with me is kind of out.

Ryan...

Look, you are a really great guy.

I mean it. Any girl would be lucky to have a chance

with someone like you, but with things

the way they are with Dylan, I just don't know if or when

I'm gonna be able to go there with somebody else,

and you deserve more than that.

Are you asking me to wait?

'Cause I got nothing but time

and the distinct feeling

that women like you don't come around very often.

I don't want you to wait.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

Hey, uh, Kelly,

do you have your phone with you today?

Yeah. Why?

I was just wondering, if Dylan wanted to talk to you,

why was he calling Brenda?

ERIN: It's not that I don't want to go with you,

it's just... I reject the unrealistic expectations

the modeling industry pushes on average women.

And I totally agree. (laughs)

I totally don't believe you.

(laughs): Look, it's not like I'm not interested

in seeing runway models in their underwear,

because that would be a lie.

I would like that, a lot, actually.

(laughs): Okay,

if you're still trying to convince me to go,

you are failing miserably.

Check it, I figured out

a solution

to our third-wheel problem.

Uh...

Dude, that's your problem, not our problem.

But you guys are still going to the fashion show,

aren't you?

How about

you let me tag along?

Isn't tagging along the essence

of the third-wheel problem? Not if I'm not alone; if I bring somebody,

then we'll have all four wheels

on the same track, fully loaded.

Oh, all right, all right. So who are you bringing?

Uh, well, that's where you come into play.

You know, after the epic flame-out with Ty,

I figured I'd take a shot at Annie.

What do you think? (laughs)

What do I think? Yeah.

I think that's going

in the "Never Gonna Happen" pile. No.

Why? She's hot. I'm hot. We're bros.

It makes perfect sense.

Don't make me drop you in the lunch line, bro.

Thanks, man.

Looking for this?

I borrowed it for my lunch date this afternoon.

Your lunch date? With who?

Mr. Wellington.

Dad's investment guy?

Hello? He's gay.

Yeah, well, I know that now.

He spent the entire lunch talking about

his partner, William, and I thought he meant business partner,

until he whips out his pictures from his cruise to Barcelona.

Nice, Mom. Yeah.

It's just as well. I really don't know what I was thinking.

Do you want to get some takeout from Mr. Chow's?

Oh, no, Daddy's taking me to dinner at the Marina Club.

Oh. Well, that sounds nice.

Is she going?

Hey, Ethan and I are going

to the Pacific Coast Fashion Show tomorrow night.

We have an extra ticket, if you want to come. Me?

Surrounded by hundreds of hot, tan, young runway models?

Naomi, how bad do you want me to feel about myself?

I didn't mean that.

I meant, you're beautiful and smart and...

One second.

I just got to take this.

Thank you for inviting me to dinner, Naomi.

It means a lot. To my beautiful

Thank you, sweetheart. Of course.

We all know you're not exactly

the world's greatest communicator, Daddy.

I was worried I might not get to know your girlfriend

if I didn't take the lead.

Obviously, my dad's legendary secrecy isn't news to you.

Actually, Charles and I have always

talked openly about everything.

Oh, well, then you know what a workaholic he is.

I mean, expect him to be gone most nights and weekends,

and lots of business trips.

It's been like that since way before you guys met.

Or is that how you guys met? Actually, Gail and I

met in line at a gelato stand in Century City.

Mm? That's so cute!

I didn't even know you liked gelato, Daddy.

Must be one of his dirty little secrets. Sweetheart,

I know what you're trying to do,

and it's not going to work.

Gail knows everything there is to know about me.

NAOMI: Oh, well, that is

How are you handling

the current situation with him and my mom?

You must be a saint to allow them

to keep their own "lines of communication" flowing.

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry, I just...

figured since you and my dad were so open and honest

that he would have told you

that he and my mom

are still sleeping together.

Naomi.

Charles? Tracy and I

have a very complicated relationship.

I have always been open with who she is to me,

just as I've always been open with who you are to me.

the woman you're shacking up with at the beach?

Excuse me.

Bye.

Thank you very much, young lady.

No problem.

Your proofs yesterday look fantastic.

Mr. Matthews told me you offered to help.

Yeah, well, that's not exactly

how it happened, but you said she's been

having a tough time lately, so I'm trying

to cut her some slack.

I'm proud of you.

You know, sweetheart, there's a little more to the story.

And as principal, I shouldn't be telling you this,

When's the last time you saw Dylan?

I don't even remember.

I remember the last time I saw him was... Christmas Eve,

Sammy's first Christmas, right here in this living room.

I can even tell you what he was wearing.

Well, you two had a lot more going on that we ever did,

Then why do you think he called you today,

and not me?

You would have to ask him that.

I will.

Look...

Brenda, if there is something going on with you and Dylan,

now is the time to tell me.

He got my e-mail address

from Brandon, and he sent me a message

from Africa a few months ago.

He wanted to know if you were in a relationship.

I talked to him about that same time.

Why didn't he just ask me?

I don't know,

but I told him that he was already messing up,

and that if he was serious about reconnecting with you,

he needed to come back to the States

and do it the right way.

I mean, he's hurt you so many times,

I was just trying to protect you.

Or maybe you were trying to keep the door open for yourself.

Wow.

I thought that we had moved past all this already.

Brenda,

wait.

What the hell is the matter with you?

ANTONIO: Debbie?

What's going on here? What's going on

is this protégé of yours and her little

Compton kid Compton...

just lost you your biggest account.

You're fired.

(clears throat)

Hey. Hey.

You okay?

No.

I'm an idiot.

Do you know I...

actually almost started believing that guy. Hey, hey.

That guy is a pig.

But he was right about one thing.

You are definitely

the most beautiful girl in the room tonight.

Thank you.

Let me take you home, all right?

(laughter)

NAVID: That was at Palisades High.

It's is like, "We found pigs 1, 2, and 4,

"but where the hell is 3?

"We've looked everywhere,

and we can't find the fourth pig."

But the joke was, there was only three pigs.

We just numbered them 1, 2, and 4.

(laughs)

Yeah, I don't get it.

There was no fourth pig.

But then what happened to pig number three?

Hey.

Ty.

What are you doing here?

I got a text from Adrianna

about an hour ago. Oh.

She told me about what happened at The Roosevelt.

Yeah.

Looks like we were set up.

Yeah, lots of that going on around here.

Look,

I'm sorry. About what?

Even with Adrianna standing there

in that towel,

I knew you weren't that kind of guy,

I should have trusted my instincts.

Yeah. You should have.

You know, I went to the hotel

that night, thinking it was going to be

the night for us.

There's other nights, other hotels.

Yeah, not... not for me.

Not yet.

I'm just not ready.

God, this town really

messes with your head, doesn't it?

Well...

you've always got a friend with me.

If you need one.

I think that might be exactly

what I need right now.

Friends it is.

(under breath): God...

Antonio, I'm so sorry.

If you want to fire me, I totally understand.

Ah, please.

You were defending your son.

Life's too short

to work with people like that.

And you're too talented not to keep around.

Thank you.

Thank you.

He did not fire you? No.

(sighs)

Hey, is Dixon okay?

Yeah, I gave him

Grandma's Mercedes.

He is taking Silver home.

Where's Annie and Adrianna?

That is a whole other story.

Can we get out of here already?

(sighs)

I will fill you in on the way home.

Every time I try to fix it.

Every time.

I should have just listened to you.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

I just wanted everything to be the same

before... before all this drama.

Now my parents will never get back together.

Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

How can you say that?

Some people just...

aren't meant to be together.

That's all.

They were together, Ethan.

That's the point.

That doesn't mean anything.

Sex always means something.

It says there's still some

feelings, connection, emotion.

It's that way with us, right?

Right?

Not always.

Wow.

So is that why you couldn't say you loved me earlier?

It's complicated.

It shouldn't be complicated, E.

I'm just so tired.

I'm tired of pretending

that my parents are gonna be together forever.

I'm tired of pretending

that we're ultimately gonna stay together.

I think it's over, E.

For good, this time.

I think you're right.

Hey, kiddo. How was the party? Hey.

Oh, you know.

Dreams built up and shattered.

Typical night in Hollywood.

I'm sorry. Is he awake?

I don't want to wake him up. Oh, no.

He's down for the count.

We had a big day.

What's up with the suitcases?

Well, Sam and I are going to visit Dylan.

Oh, my God.

Are you gonna get back together with him?

No.

And there is every possibility that after this,

Dylan may be out of our lives for good,

but I have to find out one way or the other.

I can't keep living in this in-between place, you know?

You actually think he's changed?

There's one way to find out.

Well, how long are you gonna be gone?

The school gave me a two-week leave.

And I talked to your dad.

He has a room ready, and he's waiting for you.

You're kidding, right?

I am not gonna go stay with Mel and his latest child bride.

I think that girl's actually in my homeroom.

Ugh, I don't know.

Well, you can't stay with Mom. That's for sure.

And you're not going back to that shelter.

Uh, thought.

Why don't I stay here?

I can look after your place,

bring in your mail,

pay your everything, you know,

water your flowers.

Come on. My stuff's already here anyways, so.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay, yes, I think you can handle it.

Oh!

Thanks!

And... that means you have to come back,

right?

With or without Dylan.

Don't worry about it, okay?

Silver, you and I are family.

You'll never be alone.

Come here.

Thanks.

I love you.

I love you.
