90210: Lucky Strike (Episode 3)

Last week Ethan and Annie were grounded for their outings with new friends. Debbie was feeling left out with everyone doing their own thing. This week starts with everyone rushing out on Debbie's home-cooked breakfast. I guess her attempt at getting them together didn't work. Ethan and Naomi are at the lockers discussing the new band going to the Pier. Kelly sees Silver in the hall as the bell rings and comments on how she looks. She says she didn't know the cool look was not brushing your hair. Silver hits back saying it's because she's not young anymore. Ryan notices Silver and Kelly and states the obvious, that Silver’s late for class. He asks Kelly if she wrote her a late slip. She says no and that she's not going to. He flirts with her by asking if it's nepotism and if she wants to discuss it over dinner. Kelly accepts. Navid invites Ethan, Dixon, and the rest of the guys to come to the new Bond movie screening his dad is a part of. And, Ty asks Annie to go to the Pier tomorrow night to watch a new band.

 

 

Later, Harry and Debbie discuss how everyone is so busy lately and that they should have a family "fun night." They tell the kids they're going bowling at Lucky Strike the next night. Annie and Dixon try to tell them nobody does that in Beverly Hills and that they've both made other plans. Harry says that they're just going to have to bring Kansas here then and that they are going to go to family "fun night." Next we see Silver entering a woman's shelter. This seems a little odd considering her family has plenty of money for her to get a hotel room. The lady seems to know her at the shelter, but tells her there's no room for her to stay tonight.

 

The next morning Naomi brags about the awesome party her dad is taking her to in Vegas that night.  Apparently this is something she and her dad do every year and she really looks forward to it. Kelly is walking with Ryan, talking his ear off about her 4 year old son, Sammy. Ryan mentions he does quite a bit of work at a juvenile detention center.  Neither can talk long but they do agree on dinner tonight. They are obviously flirting as Silver walks up and Ryan walks away.  Silver calls Kelly out and says its gross if she's going to be "banging" the teacher. Kelly denies it. Silver then asks if Kelly wants to have a sleepover at Kelly's house. Kelly says she can't, but will definitely do it tomorrow night. Silver looks really disappointed. Ethan asks Annie if she's got any big plans. She explains it's family "fun night." He tells her it's social suicide to go to Lucky Strike with her family. Ty walks up and says he's disappointed she has to cancel. Ethan awkwardly says bye and walks away. Ty says he can't believe she's going to blow him off. She suggests he stop by the bowling alley and try to get her out of family "fun night" early. Dixon is talking to Navid after school and tells him to come by the bowling alley with a lot of people and try to get him out of family night too. Dixon runs into Silver as she's hanging out on the trunk of her car doing homework. He asks her what she's doing tonight and she asks if he's asking her out. He kinda laughs and says he's got to go bowling with his family. She thinks it sounds like fun so he invites her to come. Naomi is outside of school waiting for her dad to pick her up to fly to Vegas. When he gets there though he tells her he can't go. He has a big merger at work and can't leave, but the new Mercedes-Benz he's driving is for her to make up for him not going. Her dad hops in the other car with her mom and leaves quickly. Naomi is near tears as she watches him leave. 

 

Later that night, the family starts their "fun night" at Lucky Strike with Silver and their parents seem to be OK with it. Dixon and Annie tell each other they've also invited Ty and Navid. Kelly and Ryan meet at a restaurant. He's rambling on about wanting to meet her son and she explains she hasn't introduced her son to any man except his father. She confides she hasn't dated anyone serious since him. He asks about Sammy's father and finds out he's never really been apart of their life but is wanting to be now.  Family night is going well for Silver, she seems be enjoying being apart of a family. Debbie thanks Silver for coming and says Annie and Dixon seem to be having fun since she's there. Silver tells her she's glad to be there and wishes her mom would do stuff like this with her. Annie and Dixon call Silver over for pizza and everyone starts showing up, except Ty. Harry and Debbie continue to bowl and have fun. Dixon tells his friends he can't leave just yet. They all decide to hang out and bowl for awhile too. Ethan talks to Annie and asks if she wants to go outside to get some air. Naomi is with Adrianna in her new car and is being really bitchy because of her dad. Morgan texts Adrianna and says everyone is going to Lucky Strike. Naomi wants to take her dad dinner at his office first thought to thank him for the new car. Ethan and Annie are outside talking about his family and flirting a little as Ty walks up and notices. Ty interrupts and once again Ethan is left behind. Annie needs to quit playing games, she’s going to end up losing Ethan and it’s pretty clear Ty is just playing her.

 

Naomi pulls up at her dad's office and sees him kissing another woman. Back at the bowling alley Ty and Annie decide to see if she can get way. Annie asks her parents if she can leave with Ty. They tell her to go and have fun as Dixon walks up. Harry tells him to let them know how the Bond movie is. They both can't believe how easily their plan worked. Annie and Ty run into Ethan on their way out. Ethan says he's gonna hang out and bowl for awhile. Adrianna comes running up to find him because Naomi's freaking out outside and won't talk to her. As Ethan goes out to see what's wrong Annie tells Ty she's got to check on Naomi before she can leave. Adrianna tells them Naomi saw her dad kissing another woman. Ethan gets to Naomi and she tells him what happened. He holds her and seems to calm her down. They don't see Annie watching them, but she looks sad like she's wishing it were her he was holding.  Dixon and the guys discuss how it's too much drama there and leave to watch the Bond movie. Silver walks up to Annie as she gets a text from Ty saying he couldn't wait and left without her. What an ass! The girls decide to catch up with the guys to watch the movie. 

 

Once at home Harry and Debbie are talking about the night’s events and laugh about how they thought they were cooler than their parents and can't believe their kids don't want to hang out anymore. Harry asks her if she's gonna start bringing out the ‘I want another baby’ card. She says no, but she might ask for a puppy. Kelly and Ryan finish their "date" in his truck outside her house. Ryan brings up their dating status and she says they're just colleagues "hanging out." He leans in for a kiss and she says, “oh what the hell we're dating.”

Annie and Dixon return home with Silver in tow. Harry and Debbie remind the kids of their chores still to be done so Silver says she better get home. Debbie offers to call her mom for her to let her know she's on her way, but Silver lies and tells her she already did. As she leaves she looks back and watches them together sadly. She's definitely envious of their wholesome family. 

 

Later, as Dixon is taking out the trash he finds Silver asleep in her car on the street. He wakes her up and she confides to him that her mom is a drunk and she's scared to be around her when she's like that. She also tells him she's been staying at shelter because of it. In the meantime, Naomi gets home and crawls in bed with her mom. Dixon tells Silver he needs to tell his dad. She yells at him and says she shouldn't have trusted him. She doesn't want anyone else to know about her mom. He explains how his life used to be the same way until he moved in with the Wilson’s. He tells her he knows exactly what it's like to live with a wasted parent. He finally gets her to trust him and they go to talk to his family.  They decide she will stay there tonight or until they figure out what to do. 

 

The next morning Harry asks Kelly to come over and they discuss her mom, Jackie, and Silver. Kelly is upset that she didn't tell her what was going on at home. This isn’t the only drama of the morning though. Naomi confronts her mom and tells her she saw her dad kissing another a woman. Her mom, Tracy, sits stone faced and tells her she knows all about her. She tells Naomi her name is, Gail, and she lives out of town so it doesn't happen very often. How does that make it OK? She also tells her it's been going on for two years. Naomi wants to know if they're going to get a divorce. Tracy explains that she has a wonderful family that she doesn't to break up, two beautiful homes and that she's been with him too long to lose it all now. Naomi is completely distraught. Back to Kelly who shows up at her mom's house. Jackie thinks Silver has been at a friend’s house and has no idea she's actually been staying at a shelter until Kelly tells her.  When Silver shows up Jackie starts screaming at her and says ‘look at all the trouble you're causing.’ Kelly says Silver is going with her so she can't do to her what she did to Kelly growing up. Jackie and Kelly continue to argue and fight over Silver. Jackie tells Kelly she can't handle a 4 year old and a teenager. Silver tries to talk to her mom but she just yells at her to get out, which shocks Silver. As the episode finishes up Annie gets a text from Ethan asking “what’s up.” Naomi's dad comes home as she and her mom are eating breakfast and bends over and kisses her mom. Naomi looks disgusted with her. 

 

Things end on a happier note for some though. Kelly, Sammy, and Silver are all in bed laughing and eating breakfast together. And, Harry and Debbie come downstairs to find that Annie and Dixon have made breakfast for them to sit down as a family. Maybe Beverly Hills hasn't gotten to them yet after all.  Next week, Harry finds his daughter in a compromising situation and drama is sure to ensue.
