Mark here...this episode is called "A Competitive Edge" and it's another zinger...and by zinger I mean another issues-based bore. Basically, Brandon quits the Beverly Blaze for a hot minute to join the track team, only to find out the track team is using steroids. So of course, Brandon must rejoin the Blaze to get the story, but now he can be "undercover" since he's left the paper. Yes, no one would suspect a thing. It's all very "All the President's Men" with clandestine meetings in parking lots at night to discuss steroid use. Oh, and Kelly's gay friend Kyle is back. He's on the track team and becomes Brandons source. Also, Steve is on the team. We never see him using, but it's implied.
There's a subplot with Brenda in a car accident getting scammed by a woman who wants money. It's pretty boring.
Laurel here...I can't believe Kelly's gay friend Kyle came back! The special friends never come back, I'm glad they decided to make an exception. Except this time he's the special friend because he's doing steroids. The Brenda side note to this episode is she gets into a fender bender with a lady who pretends to be injured, but then Brenda catches her doing aerobics in her living room so all's well that ends well.
There's no specific style award this episode, except for that Mark and I have noticed over the past few episodes that "athletes" always wear their sweatpants hitched up and rolled over at the waist so everyone has camel toe, even the dudes.
The cocktail moment is when Brandon gets a wedgie in the locker room at the beginning of the episode. Because he's just a dumb reporter and not a jock.
