So 90210 returned tonight. I’ve been watching it all along, and I do think it’s been getting better. Tonight’s episode was pretty good. The main story centered around Harry’s supposed son with Tracy, who of course was too good to be true. Long story short, he was scamming the family and working with the PI to get money. He ended up getting it from Tracy and running with it. Harry’s family was spared, but Tracy was taken for a ride. of course Naomi blamed this all on Annie.

I really was starting to love Naomi, now they’ve just turned her into the show’s mega-bitch who you can’t even love to hate. Something tells me Naomi is soon going to be down and out with her mom though and experience a whole other side of life. I’d say she could always go live with daddy, but that would cramp his lady lovin lifestyle and probably won’t happen.

Christina introduced Dixon the black side of Beverly Hills. He was afraid to tell Silver partly because he didn’t know how to explain this was a part of his culture and heritage he wanted to get to know, part because he wasn’t sure what Christina was after. He soon found out nothing, she has a girlfriend! I thought that was a pretty good twist myself.

Meanwhile Brenda got some life changing news at the beginning of the show from a doctor. They made it sound like she had cancer as she wanted to start treatments, but was told nothing could be done. Adriana at the same time invited Brenda to her AA meeting in place of her mom. Kelly was afraid Brenda wouldn’t show and went with Adriana. Brenda did show though. Later Adriana found out that Hank, the dealer and part time “fun” buddy was HIV+. She had to get a test. She was negative, but pregnant! She freaked, as she apparently had a whole lot of fun with a whole lot of people while using. She didn’t know what to do, or how Naveed would respond.

Brenda meanwhile took the news just as hard. It turns out she had some fibroids removed recently and now can’t have kids. She and Kelly seemed to make up, with Brenda talking about adopting.

I was SO happy to see Brenda back. I was equally glad they weren’t killing her off! That would probably make me turn off the show. I stopped watching the original 90210 shortly after her character left. However I give her and Kelly two weeks before they are fighting again, probably over Ryan.

I also can’t help to think Harry’s “son” isn’t really gone. When he confronted Annie before skipping out of the house to get the money from Tracey, before skipping town, he was creepy. I could see him coming back simply to put Annie’s life in danger somehow.
