A darker side of West Bev.

90210-Naomi.<span class=
Naomi (AnnaLynn McCord) is having a really bad night. And her hair looks like someone's mom's.


Well, the finale started all sweetness and light, with everyone's (ie. my) favorite couples reuniting all sweetly and stuff. But let me tell you, once the clock hit that 8:35 mark, things went downhill FAST! Here's your finale scorecard!

Reunited:
Ivy (Gillian Zinser) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds)- Twice actually. These two were super cute tonight, and I loved that Ivy was totally embarrassed yet touched by Dixon's dorky planetarium show. Hopefully Deb (Lori Loughlin) and Harry (Rob Estes) will be too busy getting divorced and dealing with Annie to even notice that he's gone, and these two can have a great time in "Allstrailia" (that's how Dixon says it.) and continue their cuteness next season. In an episode where almost everything turned pretty sour at the end, these two got a happy-ish ending, even if Dixon has to bail on the trip.

Teddy (Trevor Donovan) and Silver (Jessica Stroup)- Silver tried to resist getting back together with Teddy for some unknown reason, but eventually she caved, probably because he looks like a Ken-doll, is pretty smart, sweet, rich and plays pro-tennis. Or, "tiniss" as Silver calls it. They were pretty much the only two people on the show who didn't have some kind of bummer ending, so when I start to get sad about all the awful things that happened, I just think of the pretty and smile.
90210-Dixon-Ivy.<span class=
This is the exact kind of attitude I would have had at a lame "passing the torch" school ceremony thing. Which is why I love Ivy (Gillian Zinser).


Navid (Michael Steger) and Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes)!- Yay! My favorite teenage couple is back together! And they are awesome as ever! So great right? Fine, no problem, everything is great? But no, of course not, because that would be boring or something. Not to me, but to viewers who aren't interested in seeing a show exclusively about how awesome Navid and Adrianna are, and how they do and say cute and funny things. So that means stupid Javier has to ask Ade to go on a world tour with him. For a year. She better not go. Or better yet she should go, and then see that Javier is just a creep trying to get with her, and then she can come back and run into Navid's arms! There. I just wrote Season 3's Navid/Adrianna arc for you 90210. You're welcome.

Broken Up:
Liam (Matt Lanter) and Naomi (AnnaLynn McCord). Because Naomi is the world's worst girlfriend if you want someone to talk to or help you on a regular basis. Sometimes she can really come through in a clutch, but most of the time, she is just a self centered idiot. So he dumped her, pretty rightfully. Bummer for Naomi.

Harry and Deb! Pretty much. That is obviously what is going to happen. Mostly because Deb seems to hate Harry with her entire soul and since her kissing a hottie yoga teacher didn't do it, she's gonna harp him into hating her back. Have a fun summer Wilson kids!

Getting Closer:
Liam and Annie (Shenae Grimes). I want to like this couple, I really do. They could be the Brenda/Dylan of new 90210. But oh, Annie. You are so annoying.

Fired:
Harry! For the whole covering up for Dixon thing, which I find totally unrealistic because school administrators do things like that all time. I think it is part of the reason people want power. So they can use it to help their family and friends, right? The superintendent was probably a woman who hated Harry, because all women do.

Setting an awesome boat on fire:
Jasper. What a jerk. I love seeing him hobble away on his crutches though. He is one dedicated arsonist.

Beating the crap out of Jasper:
Liam! Don't kill him dude! Even though your boat is awesome, he is so not worth it! On the brighter side, maybe his parents will forget all about the whole "stealing coins" thing. I know I practically have.


Pregnant with a drunk's baby!

Well that would be Jen. Good for her.

Drunk!
Well that would be Ryan Matthews, teacher extraordinaire. He stole a shuttle van, drunk drove that to his own car, failed to help Naomi and then hit the sign, causing fire to spout out of it and then follow his car in a line. It was beautiful. I have to be on Jen's side here when she says she doesn't want him around her baby. And to think, he's not even the worst teacher in town!

Worst Teacher in Town:
Mr. Australian or British guy or whatever that Naomi accused to sexually harassing her. The final scene with him and Naomi was awful and really scary! I hope something happens or someone saves her at the last minute because it would be terrible if that creepy teacher raped her. Too dark 90210! Too dark!

Next Season:
Um, it turns out Liam's boat is fireproof, Jasper goes to jail forever, Ethan comes back and saves Naomi, Annie gets facial reconstruction surgery and comes back looking like Katie Cassidy, Navid and Adrianna go on world tour together, Teddy wins a tennis championship thanks to Silver, Dixon and Ivy have a boss time down under, Ryan's drunk driving is not discovered and he goes to rehab, the baby inside Jen temporarily gives her a soul, and she kills herself while giving birth because she doesn't want to go back to being the soulless creature she once was, and a newly clean Ryan cutely raises the baby, with lots of visits from Auntie Naomi. Oh and Harry and Deb move to China. It's gonna be awesome!

How could I forget Annie deciding to confess? These are my excuses.
1. I don't care about Annie
2. A lot of stuff happened!
3. I don't believe she really did it, so the whole confession is about to be a moot point. (Or a 'moo point', if you prefer.)

You know, I wondered about this omission for less than a minute before thinking, "She's probably just fed up with that storyline, and I know she is fed up with Annie."

Awesome review! I love your preview of next season.

I don't blame you for forgetting about Annie's confession. I mean, she pretty much forgot about possibly killing a bum pretty quickly throughout the season, too.

Will Dixon really be able to run away to Australia "Allstralia" for the summer? Wouldn't he have needed help obtaining a passport and purchasing a plane ticket from his parents? How did it come as such a shock to Deb that he was planning on going? Deb and Harry REALLY suck at being parents.
