■ 90210 EPISODE SYNOPSIS
CW Synopsis
Full Episode Synopsis
Harry (Rob Estes) and Debbie (Lori Loughlin) have finally sold their home in Kansas and prepare for a Beverly Hills-style yard sale. Donna (Tori Spelling) reveals details of her separation to Kelly (Jennie Garth), and the two search for locations so Donna can open a clothing store in Beverly Hills. Silver (Jessica Stroup) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds) continue to deal with her recovery, while Liam (Matt Lanter) and Ethan's (Dustin Milligan) unlikely friendship continues to develop. Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) and Annie (Shenae Grimes) mend their broken friendship but when a scandal involving Naomi's dad erupts, Naomi's trust in Annie disappears. As Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) nears her due date, she and Navid (Michael Steger) interview prospective adoptive parents. Ryan Eggold also stars.Donna is staying with Kelly. Silver seems nervous about going back to school. People from school make fun of her at the Peach Pit, and Dixon convinces her to pretend like everything is fine.

The Wilson family is having a yard sale, and Harry is having a hard time parting with his possessions.

Annie and Naomi are trying very hard to be friends, all giggling, smiling, lipstick and coffee. And it ends up a little awkward. Apparently, Naomi’s dad is being sued for sexual harassment, which Annie finds out from her parents…and Naomi doesn’t seem to know about. When Naomi’s dad comes to talk to her about it, he tells her she has to move back in with him. Annie and Naomi try the bonding thing again and when Naomi finds out that Annie knew about her dad and didn’t mention anything to her, she leaves, pissed. Later Annie comes by the hotel and invites her bff to stay at her place, rather than having to live with her dad and his mistress.

Liam continues to be a bad influence on Ethan and convinces him to cut class to go to the beach (throwback to Dylan McKay much?)

Navid has been all morally supportive of Adrianna, to the point where he is basically just a walking, talking pregnancy book. They look through potential adoptive parents together, and have a meeting with a great couple but it is clear they are not sure what to do.

Donna is not sure what she wants. She can’t decide if they want to live in Japan, or move back to Beverly Hills to settle down. Donna wants to move back to raise Ruby where she has a support system, but David wants to stay in Japan, so that is the reason for the separation. So, the go see a ridiculous psychic who tells Donna to look for a sign, and tells Kelly she is going to find a very handsome man with a six-pack. On their way home from a lesbian bar, Donna finds the perfect space for lease for her boutique. When she tells David the news, he still doesn’t want to move to LA, and she is very upset about it, but then David sends her flowers with the card “thinking of you”.

At Donna’s opening, no one really knows how to act around Silver, but she is trying to keep a stiff upper lip. She goes out back to be alone and runs into Ethan. They chat about their issues and a little bonding ensues. Silver tells Ethan she is not coming back to school, but rather going to St. Claire’s and he is pretty much the only one that knows.

Naomi decides she is not going to be Liam’s booty call, but then as soon as she tells him this, he pulls his famous move of grabbing her and making out with her, and she certainly doesn’t fight it.

Kelly goes to the convenience store to pick up some extra crackers and runs into Ryan, buying beer…in a six pack. So she takes the sign and goes back to his place with him, making out all the way.

Adrianna tells Navid that she is not really excited about giving the baby up for adoption but that she feels like that is her only option, since she is 16 and can’t do it alone, and her mom is not very helpful (or financially stable). Navid then tells her he loves her and he wants to help raise the baby, and somehow they decide to get married?! Gotta love a Peach Pit proposal.
