BH S09.E18: Bobby Dearest Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

Gina having learned that Felice is legally responsible for the theft of all her trust fund money, she takes the completely reasonable next step of pursuing legal action to recover the lost principal -- and Donna, who absolutely thought Gina should sue her trustee back when she thought the trustee was her bank, now takes it personally. (Present yet silent through all of this is Bobbi, the one who actually used all that stolen money for her own benefit, which is weird?) Donna doesn't love being in the middle of these warring family factions, which may be why she decides to get support through her ordeal from Noah and act like there was any ambiguity about the end of their relationship despite her having told him "It's over" in precisely those words. David is pissed that Donna's throwing him over again, but decides to get over it by following her advice and using his radio show to solicit applicants for the job of his girlfriend. Matt returns from New York to a fraught emotional situation with Kelly, who wants him back and doesn't want to acknowledge whatever's been going on between herself and Dylan since he came back to town. However, Kelly's going to have to figure out which guy she wants to be with because while Dylan does get into a jetski crash, a good samaritan inconsiderately saves him from death by drowning; it turns out both of them have been frozen by tragedy -- but can they help each other through it by finding new meaning in their lives? We discuss it all in our podcast on "Bobbi Dearest"!

BH S09.E17: Slipping Away Nov 19, 2018

Show notes

The Durnings having decided they'd prefer Lauren to be schizophrenia symptom-free in the short term than alive in the long term, they're going to ill-conceived lengths to try to track down clozapine without a prescription. Kelly, veteran of the Clinic Clinic, thinks she can help solve their problem with an illicit trip south of the border, and who better to bankroll the scheme and act as her bodyguard than Dylan? That Dylan's relationship with Gina is undefined at the moment makes him extra-flirty, and Kelly's confusion about where she stands with Matt (and his wife?) makes her guilty after she gives into her throbbing biological urges. Gina's got big plans to open her own gym, and while she's still too young to crack into the trust full of the money she earned figure skating as a minor, she wants to know how much there is so she can use it as collateral for a business loan. Unfortunately, her estimate is way higher than the reality. Has her unethical mother Bobbi been embezzling, or is another trustee to blame? When she's not chasing down financial records, Gina blabs to Noah that Donna and David are giving their relationship a fourth shot (or is it fifth?), and Noah is a bitch about it. While Steve might have thought his and Janet's problems were settled once he decided he wanted them to make their relationship official, he wasn't prepared to learn that her very traditional Japanese dad doesn't want her seeing anyone outside their community. We'll be screaming about his inaccurate uses of words like "bigot" and "racist," among other things, in our podcast on "Slipping Away"!

BH S09.E16: Survival Skills Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

You may thing that "Beheading St. Valentine" will save you from any further angst in your relationship. Not in the zip! All the established couples start out cozy with a brunch at the Walsh house at which the reunited Durnings are holding forth about their marriage -- until Kelly shows up with a sleeping bag for Steve and makes everyone feel awkward because, you know, she obviously wasn't invited. Kelly continues whining about Matt to anyone who will listen, which ends up being Dylan and no one else, though she manages to listen to Dylan long enough to hear his yearning for purpose in his life and tries to buy it for him in the form of a vintage T-Bird like the one he used to work on as a kid with the uncle we've never heard of before. This makes Gina jealous for rightly assuming Dylan and Kelly are sniffing around each other again, even as she manipulates Noah into telling Donna what happened on the infamous Night Of The Photo Booth -- which, after a false start in which he suggests moving in together instead, he does. Donna flees the wreckage of her relationship with Noah to her friendship with David, though maybe "friendship" isn't actually the right word. Oh AND through all this Lauren and Matt are dealing with the news that if Lauren continues taking clozapine, the (apparently real) wonder drug that brought her back after three years of incapacitation, it will kill her. Meanwhile, Steve and Janet go on a camping trip to have bear STUFF with a couple of disadvantaged teens, who deserve better.

BH S09.E15: Beheading St. Valentine Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

Steve's latest brilliant idea for the Beverly Beat is less about attracting readers and more about attracting gawkers, with "attracting" being the operative word: he wants to copy British tabloids by having cheesecake photos on Page 3 -- though at least he's not prepared for the Beat's models to be topless; bikinis will be just fine! To prepare for a publicity stunt announcing the initiative, he parks it in front of a sun lamp -- in the office, because why not -- which is when Janet notices an irregular mole on his shoulder. Facing the possibility that it could be melanoma leads Steve to re-evaluate his life and ponder what his legacy will be...for a while. Not long. When Donna finds the photo strip from "You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello," Gina leads her to believe that she and Noah did more that night than mug for the camera, and since Noah was wasted, he's not a credible witness in his own defense. Donna's anger leads her to accept David's request that she beard for him at his boss's party, where it turns out to be extremely easy for the two of them to fall back into their old relationshippy ways with not one but two for-real kisses. When she's not trying to pry Noah and Donna apart -- for sport, at this point -- Gina's trying to keep up with Dylan's need to bone in ever more scandalous locations. Matt having finally disclosed his marital status to her, Kelly's moping around, ruining everyone's Valentine's Day with her whining about whether she should fight for Matt against his mentally ill wife. Would it shock you to learn that Kelly is a bitch about it? We break down "Beheading St. Valentine" in our latest Again With This podcast!

BH S09.E14: I’m Married Oct 28, 2018

Show notes

A scandalous round of strip poker touches off a prank war among three of the gang's least clever members: Noah, Steve, and Donna. (David also gets swept up in it, briefly, but only incidentally; mainly, he's occupied chasing after a D-girl Peach Pit patron who may be trying to blow him off.) When the battle takes down a health inspector, Donna and Steve are forced to figure out at what point STUFF must give way to taking legal responsibility like adults. Dylan embarks upon his community service, where he makes a friend of a hardworking fellow parolee and a foe of their racist jerk boss. He's also on bad terms with Gina, who decides to make a stink about Dylan's attractive Narcotics Anonymous sponsor because how dare he seek advice or counsel from any woman but Gina? Matt departs Los Angeles for New York, where he spends time with Lauren, the mystery woman who called him "sweetheart" at the end of the last episode. Turns out she's his ex, recently sprung from a mental institution, and eager to find out whether they might rekindle their relationship. The nature of said relationship? Well, we don't find out until the very last moment before the end credits, although there is a hint in the episode's title. Which is "I'm Married." We discuss it all in our latest Again With This podcast!

BH S09.E13: Withdrawal Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

Having -- through sheer luck -- not killed Donna, Dylan decides he is ready to accept his friends' help in getting help for his heroin addiction. Unfortunately, he's not actually on Intervention and has to spend a night waiting for his bed in a treatment facility to be ready, which gives him just enough time to wake up in the middle of the night, pretend to take a shower, and actually slides out the bathroom window instead. During the manhunt, Kelly fights with Matt about whether she's actually in love with Dylan, and also with Gina about how much Gina is to blame for enabling his drug use; in both cases, Kelly is a bitch about it. Will Dylan survive to give his sobriety his best efforts?! Noah makes a match between up-and-coming pop star Clara and Donna, in the hopes that Clara will let Donna dress her for the BLOCKBUSTER ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS. Will Donna ignore her screaming self-doubts and come up with a gown that will get her good press?! Janet reveals not only that she has a dog, but also that her dog is purebred and promised to another purebred Doberman. Naturally, she entrusts the care of this expensive animal to Steve, the most irresponsible person she knows, so that he can meet a cute woman at the dog park and let Janet's dog fool around with some dude's mutt. Will this lead to a litter of mongrel puppies?!!!??!? We delve into these questions and more in our latest Again With This podcast on "Withdrawal"!

BH S09.E12: Trials and Tribulations Oct 15, 2018

Show notes

Dylan's junkie logic leads him to decide his roommate's order that he get his illegally purchased gun out of the home they share just means he can wait until dark, put it in his pants, drive it over to the Marchette manse, and threaten its occupant. Unfortunately, Tony doesn't live there anymore -- nor, spoiler, does he live anywhere -- and the freaked-out victims of his home invasion call his motorcycle license plate in to the cops, who quickly pick him up. Do they find his drugs on him? Of course they do. Kelly and Matt are already having tension around Kelly's very obvious ongoing lust for Dylan, and Gina's demand that Matt represent him doesn't help. Meanwhile, Gina's lust for Dylan makes her a likely mark for Dylan to manipulate her into sneaking him drugs. Dr. Steve's Art Of The Pick-Up students may not be able to get their shit together when it comes to hitting on women, but they are very organized with regard to the law: they all take Steve to small claims court to get their money back since...he offered a money back guarantee. Matt gets Steve on a TV judge show, where he proceeds to take his star witness -- successful pick-up artist David -- down with him. Donna and Noah, oppressed by all the other people who live in the Walsh house, decide the answer is to try to bone at Donna's parents' house when the Martins go out of town. So much STUFF ensues that when Donna becomes the victim of a druggy Dylan accident, it's almost a relief to see it end, even in possible tragedy. We're talking "Trials And Tribulations" in our latest Again With This podcast on Beverly Hills, 90210!

BH S09.E11: How to Be the Jerk Women Love Oct 08, 2018

Show notes

We may not have previously understood how committed Gina is to the project of messing with Donna until this episode, in which she reinvents herself as a personal trainer and starts working out with...Felice. She easily parlays their new intimacy into an invitation to a George luncheon hosted by a not-yet-dead (but still completely offscreen) John F. Kennedy Jr., which she makes sure to tell Donna about so that Donna feels good and slighted. It's a good thing Gina has something else to focus on, because she's also just found out that Dylan is using hard drugs and is sort of trying to enforce healthy boundaries with him, but also, not really. Dylan isn't that interested in Gina because he's still focused on his dead wife -- even more so when he tries to go leave a bouquet on her grave, only to find it's not there anymore. The reasonable next step is, of course, to buy a gun through a random drug dealer and make plans to take it to Tony Marchette's house to encourage him to tell Dylan where Toni's bones ended up. Kelly and Matt are getting closer -- though Kelly apparently feels weird about sleeping with a whole new guy in the same bedroom where she used to bone Brandon. Speaking of boning: Steve decides he's qualified to give expensive seminars on "The Art Of The Pick-Up."

BH S09.E10: Marathon Man Oct 01, 2018

Show notes

The approaching yuletide holidays haven't given Dylan any more concern for either her busy schedule as the co-proprietress of a retail clothing store, nor for her relationship with a dude who isn't him. So with that in mind, of course he has no compunction about getting her on a private plane and flying her to Mexico for huevos rancheros, authentic sombreros, and a Mayan fertility statue into which he can stuff an extremely tiny amount of heroin. Gina takes a break from her suspicions about Sonia -- now working off her debt to Donna at the store (when she's not using the space to bone a dude after hours) -- to be jealous of the attention Dylan's paying Kelly and hang around close enough to swoop in as soon as Kelly tells Dylan she's not interested in taking him back. Gina's so willing to take Kelly's sloppy seconds that she even agrees to take exactly the same trip to Mexico Dylan took Kelly on and receive the gift of exactly the same Mayan sculpture, filled with exactly the same smuggled contraband. It's just Gina's bad luck that the store gets robbed when she knocks off early to go fuck around in Cabo and drive Kelly back into Matt's arms. Through all this, Noah is using Gina as his TaskRabbit for Donna's surprise birthday party, because he is just as oblivious about Gina's feelings about her cousin as Donna herself is. And in the background of everyone's week is a dance marathon AIDS fundraiser at the club for which Steve accidentally makes an overly generous pledge. Does Steve then try to scam a charity? You know he does. We take you through all the highs and lows "Marathon Man" in our latest podcast!
