90210 5x07 recap

It looks like Annie and Riley’s happiness was short lived. Things are not going well for the two with Annie making sure Riley is ok and Riley thinks she is treating him differently because he is in a wheelchair. The two are out at a restaurant where Annie is fussing over Riley, which he isn’t happy about but Annie protests that she isn’t treating him differently. To make matters worse Riley doesn’t show up at the Hollywood bowl for Ade’s performance, leaving Annie angry. When Annie goes to find Riley, I don’t think she expected to find him in a pool messing around with a group of women. Annie starts shouting at him, telling him she never said she thinks less of him because of the wheelchair to which Riley says it’s not what she’s said but how she’s acted. Riley wants Annie to treat him like any other guy and when he asks her what she would do to another guy if he stood her up, she slaps him across the face, to which Riley looks pleased at because finally she’s treated him like any other guy. After reaching an agreement, Riley pushes Annie into the pool and the two kiss. Maybe there is hope for these two and they can be happy for longer than five minutes.

Life for Liam looks like it’s going to get worse again after receiving a note from someone in the post that tells him they know what he did to Vanessa. Along with the note, he still has to deal with the aftermath of the leaked sex tape at the convention, which he isn’t easily able to forget about when a paparazzi guy hounds him, leading Liam to punch him and then arrested for. Liam later is appointed a personal bodyguard, Ashley who is a police officer by the network, which I think Liam is quite happy to have after receiving the note about Vanessa. Ashley follows Liam everywhere to make sure he’s safe and even goes to Ade concert with him, which Annie mocks him for. At the end of the episode we see Ashley getting a tattoo of Liam on her shoulder. What does this mean? Is she the one who sent Liam the note?

Silver is still having a hard time, she finds out she still is not pregnant and asks Liam to go along with her to the fertility clinic to get some answers.  At the clinic, she finds out that, she can’t get pregnant and that they will start IVF to stimulate pregnancy. After the IVF treatment Liam sees Silver in discomfort, as she is not walking properly and when he realises that what she’s going through is a side effect to the treatment he rushes her to the hospital. I like that Liam is still there Silver and things don’t seem awkward between the two after everything. After her trip to the hospital, Silver thanks Liam for taking her and she finds out that that she cannot conceive the baby herself and her eggs will have to be harvested. She also finds out that she only has one shot at having a baby now; it looks like Silver isn’t getting much luck, but let’s hope she gets what wants.

Ade gets a big opportunity and is opening for Ne-yo at the Hollywood Bowl. With the great news about Ade, Dixon decides he wants to start his own record label and asks a reluctant Annie if she’ll loan him the money. After some thought Annie decides to be an investor in Dixons label. Although Dixon is starting to get his life back on track, he’s told if the medication doesn’t work he might have to have an operation on his spine.  If that doesn’t work he might have to live the rest of his life in a wheelchair. After getting the news about his back, Dixon decides he wants to propose to Ade but Annie doesn’t think it’s a good idea, especially with the situation he’s in right now, not knowing what lies ahead for him. However Dixon disagrees and thinks it’s the perfect time to ask Ade and asks Annie to keep it a secret. Later a shocked Ade finds out Dixon is going to propose and confesses everything to Silver, with Silver telling her she has to tell Dixon before the proposal. Well I don’t think Dixon is going to want to marry Ade if she tells him the truth. The gang head to the Hollywood Bowl to watch Ade perform and after her performance she meets Dixon backstage, and has she’s about to confess all to Dixon the rest of the group arrive to watch Dixon propose. Will Ade ever come clean to Dixon? Instead of proposing Dixon hands Ade a pair of diamond earrings and tells her that she is more important than his music and wants Ade to be the first signed artist at his new record label.   

 Now that Max has fired Alec, he doesn’t have much time to spend with Naomi, with Naomi telling him that she’s being ignored. Not happy with their current situation, Naomi urges Max to hire a replacement and randomly picks a potential from a pile of CV’s called Bryce Woodbridge, Max too seems impressed by her CV. Things however don’t seem what they are as Naomi thinks Bryce is a man and is shocked to find out that he is actually a women. This leads to Naomi not being too happy about Max hiring her and Naomi sees her as threat. Max realises Naomi doesn’t want him to hire Bryce because she’s a girl and Naomi suggests that she comes and works with Max instead. However realising that Max isn’t happy and that Bryce is the female version of Alec, Naomi decides to talk to Bryce and tells her she has to work for Max to which Bryce accepts the job. Naomi tells Max that Bryce has accepted and Max tells Naomi how much he loves her.

Best part of the episode: it has to be Annie and Riley again, when Riley pushes Annie into the pool and she finally treats him like a normal guy.

Side note: Are Naomi and Max finally in a good place?
