In my opinion, 90210 is now on fire. As good as GG? hmm…probably not. But..it’s starting to gain ground! We’re enjoying each week’s episodes more and more. With that in mind, let’s do “Okaeri, Donna!”

First, Debbie and Harry: Not much parent action this week. Debbie takes some shots of a nude model..Harry comes to see..turns out to be a male nude model. funny stuff! But, on to more important plot lines…

Dixon and Annie:  Spring break at grandma’s house, right? NOPE! They lied to their parents to… go to Arizona. The reason? To have fun at a few waterparks… or so Dixon said. Once the pair arrived in Arizona – and once the show hilariously promoted Dr. Pepper over and over – Dixon told Annie his real motivation for the trip: he wanted to see his birth mom.

Dixon is warming up to his mom thanks to Silver, who flipped out and reminded Dixon that his own mom has bi-polar disorder, too . Dixon feels bad that, when he was eight years old and given the choice to be adopted or to live with his mom (his grandmother had just died), he chose adoption. He wants to apologize.

Dixon freezes and can’t go through with it. Instead, Annie goes and talks to the mom and the two have a nice chat while Dixon stays in the car.

Donna, Kelly and Silver: Kelly is being extra strict with Silver. She’s just looking out for her well-being, following last week’s meltdown, but Silver is frustrated at basically being locked in her house.  Enter DONNA MARTIN SILVER! Turns out Donna is a hugely successful designer in japan.

As she’s eating lunch with Kelly, Oscar-winner screenwriter Diablo Cody stops at the table and says she loves Donna’s dress. Could she design one for Cody for a red carpet event? This eventually leads to a shot of Donna on the red carpet, as she helps Cody make last-minute adjustments to the outfit. It’s a pretty funny scene.

All seems to end well with this storyline, until Donna reveals a secret to Kelly: her and David are separated. (If this remains true, will it bother any other Beverly Hills, 90210 fans? It seems like a rip-off to change the history of that show, after it gave us a satisying finale so many years ago. Discuss!)
