90210: "They've all seen me naked too"

Last night's 90210 was the sexting episode. Here is a rundown of the action.

-Silver wants to try apologizing to Dixon again, but Naomi and Adrianna tell her she should give it a week so he has time to cool down. Silver doesn't listen and leaves a bunch of pathetic messages on his phone. At one point she even calls him while they are within earshot of one another and she watches as he ignores her call. This is the breaking point for her and she falls apart.
- Navid is so jealous of Teddy. Navid is also in charge of the school's TV news magazine show. One of the other reporters suggests doing a piece on Teddy because he is a tennis star and Adrianna sets it up. But during the interview Navid is really mean, only asking questions about the negative aspects of Teddy's life. Following the interview Adrianna calls out Navid and tells him it was unfair to bombard Teddy the way they did. Navid later tries to apologize to Adrianna but in the midst of this apology he adds that he does not want Adrianna to be friends with Teddy. This angers Adrianna because she feels like Navid does not trust her.
- As a side note, something that may be of some importance later, this episode featured surf team tryouts. Liam, Teddy and Dixon all try out and they all make the team. This will probably lead to lots of beach scenes in the coming episodes.
- I am beginning to hate Jen more and more. Regardless of the way she treats Liam, which will be explained in a minute, she is also such a bitch to Ryan. While Ryan is kind of looking like crap in this new episode, that doesn't mean he should be treated so badly. Jen pulls out of a date with Ryan at the last minute so she can go on a more glamorous date with a rich man and we later find out that she is only stringing Ryan along so that she will not be labeled as a gold digger. She doesn't even have real feelings for her while we know that Ryan really likes her and sees a future with her.
- Naomi refuses to talk to Liam, but he eventually forces her to listen to him. He tells her he did not sleep with Annie, but when Naomi asks who it was, he does not sell out Jen. Later, Jen shows up at Liam's house and enlists his mother's help in getting him to stay away from Naomi. Liam is about ready to give up on Naomi when Teddy and Dixon convince him that when Naomi says she wants him to leave her alone, what she really means is that he needs to try harder. So Liam goes to Naomi's house but Jen refuses to let him see Naomi. (As a side note, we found out some background information about Liam in the episode. Apparently his father/stepfather - I'm not sure which - has some information on him that could lead to him being sent to jail. So Liam needs to be on his best behavior at all times to keep out of serious trouble.)
- Last week Naomi took into possession the naked picture of Annie. This week we see her talking with some nerd who she wants to help her send a text anonymously. When the rumor that the sext exists gets back to Annie, she begs the guy she slept with, Mark, not to send it. When he tells her Naomi has a copy of the picture, she really begins to worry. Annie first goes to Liam and tries to get him to agree to tell Naomi who he really slept with. When that doesn't work, Annie goes to Naomi and even lies, saying she slept with Liam, because she thinks this will get Naomi to sympathize with her. Naomi almost takes the high road and doesn't send the sext, that is until Jen the monster gives her a "you're too perfect and nice" speech. So Noami sends the sext and everyone in the school sees Annie naked. As if Annie was not already having a bad day, while watching the Navid/Teddy interview Teddy mentions how a few months ago he found a homeless man near death following a hit and run.

Rumer Willis made a guest appearance on the episode but her role was small. She signed on for two episodes so maybe next week she will play a bigger part. As for the rest of the episode, things happened exactly as I would have guessed following last week's premiere. The episodes are starting to become a bit predictable. Something crazy needs to happen to spice things up. Agreed?
