90210 1.05 Review: Annie So Horny
Original Air Date: September 23, 2008
And the unlikely phenomenon that is 90210 continues on “Wide Awake and Dreaming”…
Silver, stage manager for the school musical, is so busy checking her blog during rehearsal and being rude to people when she’s not checking her blog that she insults the lighting-board guy badly enough to make him quit. Dixon to the rescue since he has the skills and the attraction to her.
Meanwhile, daddy catches horny Annie and Ty making out backstage and has a conniption fit, to his mother and wife’s great amusement. After Annie gets the so-called “after-school-special” SEX TALK with mom, she starts thinking about little else besides banging her boyfriend. Silver doesn’t think Annie is ready to not be a virgin, however, although Naomi is staunchly on the “What’s the big deal?” side of the fence.
The most interesting plotline has nothing to do with the central characters, however. Brenda begins to suspect Adrianna is in trouble when she repeatedly shows up late for or bags rehearsal, although she’s the female lead and has amazing talent. But, when Adrianna’s showbiz-obsessed mom Constance shows up, it becomes immediately clear to Brenda just how much stress Adrianna is under.
Constance informs her daughter and Brenda that several agents are coming to the play, so if Adrianna would just do well, she could start working again and they’ll be alright. Nice — the child financially supporting the so-called parent.
The resulting pressure causes Adrianna to turn to drugs for relief, and she gets too high to perform. What’s Brenda to do but call on Annie, the understudy, to take over? Unfortunately, Annie is already suffering from a bad case of pre-show jitters, made worse by all the talk of sex and her dad’s obvious distrust of her ability to do the right thing when it comes to sex. He’s a smart dad, isn’t he?
As we eventually learn, Harry’s concerns are warranted. After the play ends a success, Annie borrows a condom from Dixon before heading to the private room Ty booked for them at the Roosevelt Hotel, the site of the show’s afterparty. She arrives to find Adrianna, still high as a kite and spiteful as hell, already there, wrapped in a towel and pretending Ty is in the shower.
Annie must never watch TV or movies or read any books because if so, she would see right through Adrianna’s act. Instead, she takes obviously spaced-out Adrianna’s word for what’s going on and runs out like a big baby. Perhaps that’s partly due to Naomi and Ethan’s repeated claims that Ty is just a player out for one thing.
In any case, Dixon fares much better with bossy Silver, a girl he actually gets. Now give her a pizza or something so I can stop getting preoccupied with how ridiculously skeletal she is every time I look at her. I just saw Jessica Stroup in (the awful) Prom Night remake a few weeks ago, not to mention Reaper last season, so I know for a fact that bone thin is nowhere near her normal weight.
Back to the episode: there are also some scenes thrown in about Naomi’s parents, who decide to get divorced, but they’re so boring and predictable, especially in comparison to all of Annie’s sex stuff. Good thing for The CW that fans are eating all of this up, although why I don’t know.
