So this episode was a mish mash of lots of different side plots. The first is about the kids getting away to Palm Springs for a weekend of debauchery, but instead they end up hanging out with David Silver's grandparents (!) at their house...they were supposed to be away on a cruise but it turns out they came home early. As it turns out they are super awesome and the gang has a great time playing charades and doing other wholesome things with them.
Another plot point was that Brenda and Dylan plan to do the deed for the first time but due to a series of mishaps Brenda doesn't show up at his hotel until the next day (after sleeping in a broom closet) only to find another girl in his room...I'll let Mark tell you about the rage that ensues.
Yet another is that poor Brandon has to work all weekend so he cant go to PS. Initially he is bummed about it, but true to form, Brandon learns yet another "very special" lesson when he discovers that a kid who has been hanging out at the diner is homeless - and Brandon is reminded of just how lucky he is for all of his blessings.
And poor David Silver almost gets to first base. Almost. Until the girl starts crying about how she misses her boyfriend. wah wah.
Mark here...Laurel did a good job of summing up the episode. It was, as she said a bit of a mish mash...although I would point out, one that was blissfully short on Andrea Zuckerman moments. The only one that stands out is when the homeless kid at the Peach Pit, who it should be noted is about 8, points out that Andrea is there "because she doesn't have any friends either." She doesn't take that well. On that note, it's only at the end of the episode that David remembers his best friend Scott, who is not invited. Scott gets screwed so David can hang with the cool kids, who don't start out really wanting to hang out with him either.
Brenda really finds herself in a pickle this episode, what with getting lost in Palm Springs. And true to to form, she handles it with grace and poise. By that I mean she's a raging bitch. So much so it's hilarious at times. She finds Dylan with a random girl, and despite the fact nothing happened, Brenda flies off the handle and tosses said girl's belongings out the hotel door. Then she wants Dylan to just do it with her and get it over with, or as she puts it, "Just quit talking and take your clothes off Dylan!"
Calmer heads prevail in the end, and no doing is done and the couple is back together.
Style award this episode goes to....David's grandparents! For their super awesome crazy robes. Way to go older generation! You've still got it!
Cocktail moments:
Anytime Brandon is with the little kid, because it's so annoying a drink is needed, twice if Andrea's in the mix
Steve hitting on Kelly to get back together again...give it up man...
Brenda throwing a tantrum...try not to get too drunk...
