Enter new kid – cause we don’t have enough characters one the show. Her name is Kim and she’s from Las Vegas and likes tacos. Oh and she’s a bitch to Annie. She also seems to be a little catty with the teacher, Mr. Matthews, and it earns her detention. I don’t get what her story is and they don’t really explain it.

Enter new kid – cause we don’t have enough characters one the show. Her name is Kim and she’s from Las Vegas and likes tacos. Oh and she’s a bitch to Annie. She also seems to be a little catty with the teacher, Mr. Matthews, and it earns her detention. I don’t get what her story is and they don’t really explain it.
Enter tired old plotline – everyone gets matched up and paired with an electronic baby. This plot is so old that they were using it in teen shows before the invention of electronic babies – back in the 80s they used eggs as kids. Ethan and Annie get paired together – gasp of surprise. Oh and Navid and another dude get paired up as a gay couple – funny. Annie and Ethan grow closer thanks to electro-baby and they almost kiss.
Enter only decent romance here – Silver and Dixon are going strong. Kelly goes off to see Dylan and lets Silver stay alone at her house alone. She promptly invites Dixon over…. For a movie marathon of horror flicks. Dixon falls asleep watching the flicks which Silver gets upset about because she was trying to share something she liked with him. Really? Do 16 year olds share stuff like that? I thought they just shared hormones. A funny moment happens when Grandma finds Dix sneaking back in and Annie can’t find her baby and Deb makes a Dirty Dancing reference no one gets but her and Harry. In an attempt to bond, Dixon downloads Silver’s fave band, the Ramones. Awe….
Enter the druggie and the whore (I mean the best friends) – Adrianna and Naomi share a tender moment where N tries to convince A to fess up to her drug ways but she claims allergies. The Naomi complains her world has fallen apart and her best friend isn’t there for her. Everything seems peachy after they exchange necklaces…. A West Bev friendship tradition maybe? Naomi finds a lipstick container (aka coke holder) that she used to own in Adrianna’s purse. As they talk it out, police traipse in to the school with drug dogs. Seriously?! Really?! Was this episode written by monkeys? Anyway Naomi feels bad for her about-to-be-busted bff and tries to cover for her, which gets Naomi busted. Adrianna was going to confess but then her mom tells her that the movie she landed saved their house which was going to go into foreclosure. Umm… now I’m not stage mom but the money for the movie wouldn’t have been paid yet and also, it would be Adrianna’s not the mom’s so mommy dearest couldn’t just go spending it on the mortgage but hey, whatever works for the monkeys writing this stuff. So when she doesn’t show Naomi leaves a nasty message for Adrianna who is too busy ODing to pick up. Is it wrong that I hope they write her out?
Enter the catfight - Adrianna and Annie go head-to-head in an audition for a real movie, not some school play. Annie looks great but we don’t see Adrianna’s performance. We only see her doing coke in the bathroom beforehand. When Adrianna wins the part she celebrates by blowing off Naomi and going on a coke binge.
Enter the adults – Harry and Naomi’s mom, Tracey, have a convo about their lost son. She wants to hire a private investigator to find him. He runs home and says he’s worried about the kids finding out – maybe he should have thought of that before having a big ole convo about it in the high school parking lot. Tabitha and Debbie fight over the fact that Tabs likes to swim naked in front of the gardener. Classy! Harry and Tracy talk baby again – who we learn is 22 – and then Tracy kisses Harry. Mr. Matthews is trying to date again – via the internet and he meets the stereotypical LA actress. It’s kinda funny.
Enter the episode grade – D. The whole thing with the police barging in and the introduction of a yet another annoying, puddle deep teen character didn’t help this epi at all.
Kim is an undercover cop pretending to be a student. I thought it was a nice twist.
