-Annie's parents don't want her to see Jasper.
-Adrianna is a mess.
-Ivy and Liam are "casual"
-Silver and Kelly's mom died.
-Jasper pushed Navid down the stairs for telling Dixon he's a drug dealer!!!!
So we're starting there, with the whole, yay! Navid is okay! And of course he has memory loss so he doesn't know how he ended up at the bottom of the stair. I am willing to bet he also doesn't know why he was wearing those weird male jazz shoes either.
He is sort of a drama queen about the whole thing, and he shoots down Adrianna TWICE, once when she actually tries to explain to him why she kissed Teddy. (basically, she was engaging in self-sabotage.) Navid is harsh man. But he has had a tough couple of months, so I'm willing to give him a break.
I don't know where Kelly is during this whole thing, but Naomi and Silver have such good friend chemistry! I loved Naomi trying to be goofy and make Silver feel a little better. It was sweet. Still, Kelly should probably be there for her sister, since her mom just died and everything.
In other Silver news: her and Teddy kissed! They are so totally going to be in love and all that stuff. Adrianna is going to be really mad if Teddy breaks his "no relationship code" for Silver! Also, Silver and Dixon made up, and Dixon behaved generally decently in this episode, though it is still mind boggling that all these people had no problem being friends with Liam even though they believed he slept with Annie but all of them pretty much hated Annie for the same thing. If Annie weren't so awful I would have to charge a little misogyny, but Annie is terrible so maybe people were just looking for an excuse to be mean to her or something.
Speaking of Liam: Here is a dreamy picture of him:
Oh. So what about the absolute super BEST part of the episode?!! The greatest part? All of our favorite characters (plus Dixon) banded together to TAKE JEN DOWN. I was a little disappointed that since were getting all of these Ocean's 11 references that we didn't get to see a little more of the planning, but it was still a sweet payoff in the end. Not only did Naomi find out about Jen sleeping with Liam just to get back at her, Ryan Matthews, idiot of the year, finally wised up and realized that Jen was a teenager-schtupping, sister-money-stealing, gold-digging biatch! It was a beautiful sight.
I really shouldn't be taking this much joy from the take-down of a fictional character, but man, I really hate Jen. I do feel very bad for Naomi, pretty much finding out that she has no one in her family that she can count on, but I guess that is still better than being scammed by her awful sister. I even felt kinda bad when Ivy kissed Liam in front of her, even though I am an Ivy + Liam 4eva kind of girl. I mean she called Annie right away to apologize, which you have to admit, is pretty stand up. I hope they don't completely destroy Ivy's character or any potential Ivy and Liam have just to get him and Naomi back together though.
Other thoughts:
-Silver looked like a waiter in her outfit. (I was going to change that to 'waitress, and then I thought, no, it's definitely 'waiter.')
-I love the HUGE plate of food Naomi took at the horse race, and how she plopped a giant lobster on top.
-Best line, Ivy to Teddy, re: her and Liam "Don't Tweet about it, pretty boy."
-Worst line, Jasper to Annie re: her parents hating him "It sends me into a dark place."
-I love that Silver and Naomi were listening to Hall and Oates.
-I totally called that Teddy wouldn't be able to go to Jackie's funeral because it reminded him of his own mom's.
-Jackie Taylor's funeral was offscreen?!!
-Another awesome music choice, PJ Harvey for Adrianna's "wake up and find out everything has gone to hell while you were in a drug induced haze" scene.
-Teddy, Dixon, Ivy and the waiter/actor really should have celebrated their victory over Jen in another location, away from Naomi, whose entire world had just been busted open. AND she didn't really have a secret admirer!
-Dixon covered for Annie! I hate these two slightly less when they don't hate each other.
-NAVID REMEMBERS WHO THREW HIM DOWN THE STAIRS! Next take-down? Jasper perhaps?
Next week:
Ooh! A dance!
