U4EA

Mark here...this episode of 90210 is called "U4EA"...which is an oh so clever way of referencing ecstasy.  The gang gets the word of an underground party over the weekend from Emily Valentine.  Hijinks ensue as the gang makes there way to this underground rave all the way on Alvarado Street.  Anywho, everyone deceives their parents, except for Kelly, whose mom doesn't let her go.  Of course, resourceful Kelly decides to fool her mom and go anyway.

At this radical underground party, crazy lights are going on and absolutely no one is drinking. No one except David Silver who was able to score some whiskey.  Everyone is disgusted with him for drinking.  Meanwhile, Emily secretly slips Brandon some U4EA, which is code for ecstasy. Everything in the episode is fun until we get the "drugs are bad" pay off. Brandon has a great time but of course his car gets trashed by leaving it in the ghetto of Echo Park. I'll let Laurel describe who vandalizes his car... So, we discover that Emily is bad news. It's weird how Laurel and I were talking about Emily Valentine.  She obviously made an impression on viewers, but really she showed up once, then was in the background and then she's slipping Brandon drugs. She really wasn't around long as a character.

Basically, the episode was pretty fun to watch, up until the moralizing at the end.  There's also a bit of a side plot with Andrea hating Emily, and Brandon being clueless as to why. Subtle, Andrea is not. Also Steve and Andrea are late to meet the gang and spend the night trying to find the crazy party, because of course Andrea has to get the story on underground parties. When they finally find the party and the cops are showing up, everyone is leaving, but Andrea has to run in to get the story!! Uggg!!!

Hey Laurel here.  Andrea is the worst.  The next morning she goes to the Peach Pit to visit Brandon (how he shows up to work is beyond me) and literally does the "This is your brain on drugs" thing with the egg in the frying pan.  UUHHHGG!

Also did you guys know my mom was at the rave last night?  I know, not all that surprising.  Anyway she's totally the one who trashed Brandon's car!  Her and her friend "rude rose".  See pic.

We don't really have a style award this episode, but the quote honors go to Kelly.  David scores a bottle of whisky at the liquor store and offers the gang a drink at the rave.  They all refuse, and Kelly tells him "David you're such a geek, I don't want you barfing all over my beemer, ok?"  Which is exactly what ends up happening.  Oh, David.
