Not to be uppity about this or anything, but we question the wisdom of running a new episode of 90210 on election night -- Come on CW, is that a good message to kids about political awareness? We're just saying. Although, to be fair, they could have dvr'ed it and watched the next morning like we did, so no harm no foul.
Moving on, this week there's some drama going down in the Wilson's McMansion because Harry and Debbie have decided to finally break the news about Harry's illegitimate child. Surprisingly, Dixon -- who has more reason to feel hurt and displaced by this news -- takes the whole thing in stride, whereas Annie jumps right on the judge-y train ("He tells us not to have sex, but when he was in high school he got Tracy pregnant. He's a hypocrite!").
Meanwhile, in the wake of the parking lot hook-up, Ethan has come up with a plan second in brilliance only to last week's let's-go-to-Homecoming-together-but-not-actually-GO-together strategy. The new plan involves keeping his relationship with Annie on the DL until Naomi has time to move on and hook up with someone else. Annie agrees to this course of action, seduced by the promise of clandestine make-out sessions.
Silver's throwing a slumber party which we can only hope that Kelly will chaperone and do a reprise of the date rape story from the days of yore. What's that you say? You don't remember it. Here's a little reminder...
Back in the present day, Navid's back in the saddle again working the world's most awkward woo on druggie drama girl. Naomi and Annie have a heart-to-heart about their newly discovered half-sibling. They decide to drown their sorrows with an after-school Jimmy Choo shopping spree. Turns out Harry's not that happy about high-priced footwear. He forbids Annie to go to Silver's sleepover, but locked doors and grounding can't keep a girl down. Turns out this slumber party's less about cookie dough and deep conditioning treatments and more about tequila shots games of "I never."
Just as they're reaching that stage where everything is hilarious, the boys (and narc Kim) crash the party. Naomi recruits Annie to play wingman while she gives detention guy her best material. Unfortunately, Annie sucks as a wingman and bails to indulge in one of the aforementioned clandestine make-out sessions. Naomi goes to find her, Silver runs interference -- it's a whole thing.
Navid puts the moves on DDG, and DDG's this close to giving him some obligatory action to thank him for paying for rehab, but Navid doesn't roll like that, and he leaves DDG high and dry. Meanwhile, Naomi's giving Annie an unintentional guilt trip about all the people in her life that lie.
Kim's casing the party for drug deals in action, but ends up calling Ryan to pick her up early. Too bad they're spotted leaving together by that kid from the pilot episode who's name we think is George. Regardless, before leaving, Kim calls Harry to bust up the party. Annie's drunk and huddled in her own vomit. Luckily, Harry's the kind of Dad who doesn't mind hunkering down to have a heart-to-heart with his tearful, drunken daughter.
Back at school, George is blackmailing Ryan about seeing him with Kim. Harry asks Ryan to take a paid leave of absence until the whole thing blows over. We're not certain how a paid leave of absence will help things, but we assume Harry has his reasons.
Annie tells Ethan she wants to go public with their relationship, but not before Naomi catches them kissing in the classroom. Luckily, she has detention guy to comfort her. Is it us, or does detention guy look a little bit like Jason Biggs?
