A Very Special 90210

This week on 90210, we’re reminded that Kelly is still a total bitch.

After last week’s freakout, Silver goes missing. Everyone starts wondering if she’s on drugs, and I feel bad for Silver because it’s COMPLETELY OBVIOUS she’s having a manic-depressive episode. Do these people know so little about her that they think she’s doing meth in the bathroom in between updating her blog? Ugh, whatever. Dixon and Annie’s mom even brings up PCP. PCP? Is it 1977?

Anyhoo, Kelly and Creepy Teacher go to Jackie Taylor’s house to see if she’s seen Silver. I hate that they’ve made Jackie Taylor so drunkenly awful, but she was rather entertaining as she pretended Kelly was her sister. And it gave Kelly the opportunity to remind us that this is all about her. Until Creepy Teacher reminds her that she’s supposed to be Silver’s guardian and she’s been doing a piss-poor job. Meanwhile, Dixon has dismissed Silver as nothing but a drama queen and refuses to even discuss her or look for her.

Silver eventually ends up at the train station, having decided to go to Kansas to learn more about Dixon to make him fall back in love with her. Or something. She goes completely manic as she explains this to some dude at the call board. He later follows her to a bench and lifts her cellphone while she’s sleeping. No, he’s not robbing her. He calls Dixon’s phone and lets the family know that she needs someone to come help her.

Dixon’s dad confronts Silver on the train tracks, who darts in between trains and I guess we’re supposed to think she’s dead. But Dixon knows better…she’s just hiding. He starts talking to her and tells her that his mom suffered from bipolar disorder. He tells her that he understands and that she’ll be fine with some help. And off goes Silver to the hospital. Hopefully they’ll follow up on that next week and not just make her miraculously well again. Poor Silver.

In other news, Adrianna and Navin babysit little Sammy Taylor McKay and I guess we’re going to get some drama around Adrianna deciding whether or not to keep her baby. Yawn. Also, apparently Annie and Naomi are friends again. Double Yawn.

Next week? DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES! Also, this episode was directed by Jason Priestley. He did a good job, no?

    When the wide-angle lens came out for the silly babysitting hijinx, I looked at the tv and sighed, “Oh, Jason!”
