90210 5x02 recap

What is happening to Liam? Crazy ex back: check, burnt his bar down: check, being blackmailed: check, murdered Vanessa: check.

Liam doesn’t seem to be having any luck lately, now Vanessa’s back his life seems to be going further and further downhill. He now has to pretend to love Vanessa just so she won’t go to the police with footage of Liam burning down his bar and she causes quite a stir at Naomi and Max’s wedding reception with Silver. However, life for Liam is about to get worse because he has just pushed Vanessa over a balcony and didn’t report it. Liam what were you thinking? Is Liam now going to go to jail for murder? But where did her body go, did it get washed away in tide? Poor Liam, nothing seems to go right for him, but all Vanessa wanted was for him to love her, sorry but he thinks you’re kind of a whack job, like the rest of us do.

This is the first episode in which we are introduced to the character Riley. I don’t know about you but I think Riley is great , I hope to see a lot more of him as the season progresses. Riley is a disabled man who is at the recovery centre where Dixon goes to learn how to walk again.  Riley’s first introduction is with Annie, and it doesn’t go down too well, as Riley bluntly tells Annie the way she’s acting around him isn’t helping Dixon, it’s clear to say Annie doesn’t like Riley that much.

But this episode would not be a 90210 episode without Naomi Miller Clarke holding a party to make her look god. Having read the papers that have slammed her and Max’s shotgun wedding and Alec announcing that their stock market has gone down, Naomi in true Naomi fashion decides to hold a party or rather a wedding reception. The reception is to show how respectable the  ‘Beverly Hills Bad Girl’ can be but the party doesn’t quite go to plan when Alec invites two business men and Naomi not knowing who they are accidently throws them out. Alec realising what she has done, tells Naomi, but this isn’t a problem she cannot fix. Naomi persuades the two to come back and to keep them sweet decides to throw a kick ass party at the winery. And if people thought she couldn’t do, they clearly have never seen the show, not only does she manage to turn it around she does it in 30 minutes and has a artist to perform.

At the wedding reception, Ade kisses the club promoter guy and then slaps him. This scene was showing what Ade truly wanted but couldn’t admit to it, which isn’t fair to Dixon. The poor guys just nearly died and his girlfriend is messing around with some other guy, and if he had any decency he would clear off.

At the end of the episode, a scene between Silver and Teddy answers some questions about what their relationship was when they were dating back in high school. This question was never really thought about or asked as it was more about Teddy coming out as gay rather than what it was going to do to Silver. However, I think their relationship is still solid, but I do think Teddy and Silver do make a great couple and it’s a shame they went down that road with Teddy’s story line, because I do love them together.

Best part of the episode: is it okay to say Vanessa falling off the balcony?

Side note: I don’t like the ‘new’ Navid, he needs to go back to his loveable sweet self.
