Anaconda

Hey Laurel here...So it turns out Anaconda is a card game, and Dylan is a good guy.  That's what we learn this episode.

Steve talks Brandon into letting some people into the game room of the beach club after hours to play poker.  The first time they get away with it, the beach club boss just finds some cheetos and poker chips the next day.  But the second time a bunch of electronics get stolen and now the kids are in trouble.  But somehow Brandon doesn't get fired?

Meanwhile, Dylan has fallen on some hard times.  All of his family's assets are frozen because of his father's arrest, and we see him at the pawn shop selling off his guitar and stuff.  He joins the kids at the beach club for poker the 2nd time, and loses all his money he just got from the pawn shop.  So when the electronics go missing, Brandon suspects Dylan.  It turns out he is innocent and Brandon feels terrible for accusing him.  wah wah.

Mark here... I agree with Laurel..why isn't Brandon fired at this point?!  They all talk to him like he's an adult!  Otherwise, the episode does make me start to see why Dylan was a heartthrob...but seriously, he has more chemistry with Brandon than Brenda at this point!

The episode is a bit dull otherwise,...Dylan ends up leaving at the end when he finally calls his mother in Hawaii and she sends him a ticket to join her.

The quote is definitely when Brenda, lamenting Dylan's situation, says "It's like Dylan's father isn't the only one in jail!" She is talking about the situation but it comes across, yet again, as Brenda, Brenda, Brenda!!

The cocktail moment is clearly when the gang breaks into the beach club to play poker and Brenda and Donna are smoking cigars!!

The style award goes to David Silver and his beach club ensemble...really??  You can't tell from this picture, but it's a complete shorts suit.  Boom.
