It's spring break in Beverly Hills, kids. Get psyched. Here's your ups and downs...
Happy: Diagnosing Silver's bipolar disorder seems to have erased the awkwardness between she and Dixon.
Sad: Kelly's hovering around Silver weilding "mood charts" like a crazy person.
Happy: Dixon's suggestion that he and Annie need more "one-on-one time," puts us us vaguely in mind of the Brenda/Brandon sexual tension of yore. The subsequent road trip just confirms this throwback.
Sad: The original plan of hitting every waterpark in the greater Phoenix area is actually a smokescreen for finding Dixon's birth mother, and we never actually get a waterpark scene.
Happy: Donna flies to Beverly Hills from Japan to comfort Kelly and Silver in their time of need.
Sad: Gasp! Donna and David are separated. Noooooo!
Happy: Strangely, we're starting to actually like Ethan now that he's getting kicked off the show.
Sad: Liam and Ethan's pseudo-peyote trip makes us feel weird. Poor Ethan is humiliated, Liam's a jackass -- It's a mess.
Happy: Annie's reunion with Dixon's birth mother is oddly touching.
Sad: Dixon spends the whole reunion in the car.
Happy: Silver finally gets a little excitement in her life when Donna shows up at the door with Diablo Cody and her hamburger phone.
Sad: The Diablo Cody cameo feels a bit like the CW trotting out a showpony, as opposed to actually contributing to the plot flow.
Bonus sad: Where are Navid and DDG?
