In any case, this episode deals with the fallout from last episode with Dylan and Brenda going to Mexico. Jim Walsh has to pick up Brenda from Mexico and is understandably furious. He reads Brenda and Dylan the riot act. Dylan is surprisingly such a jerk this episode. Granted he is supposed to be a poor little rich boy, but he sure does act like it this episode. He never fails to make everything all about him and has no perception of why Jim and Cindy would feel betrayed by him. After a serious of talks with Jim Walsh he ends up exploding at the end of the episode at Jim, going so far as telling Jim to punch him. Jeez, chill out Dylan! On the one hand it's believable for a spoiled teenage rich kid. On the other, it's annoying, as he seems more concerned with looking cool. Not sure if this is the actor or the writing....but the cliffhanger of the season/episode is Brenda crying after her dad and Dylan's big blowout.
One fun part about this is at one point Cindy writes a heartfelt note to Dylan about making up with Jim and we get to see her note on her "stationary"...which is so clearly printed out on someone's home printer with just "Cindy Walsh" on the top...not even "From the desk of Cindy Walsh"!
CINDY WALSH!!
The other plot line is Kelly's mom, Jackie, marrying David Silver's dad, Mel. This proves to be a comedy of errors as flooding prevents them from having their wedding at their house. Brandon accidentally tells Kelly they should have their wedding at the Walsh house...on thing leads to another and soon Cindy and Jim are begrudgingly offering their house. Jim and Cindy do provide a bit of "wacky" comic relief here. Of course, Jackie has no friends, so Kelly, Brenda and Donna serve as bridesmaids.
Laurel here...First of all, I think it's totally hilarious/wrong/the best that Brenda and Donna are Jackie's bridesmaids. My mom Barb sometimes crosses the line with my friends, but really, this takes the cake!!!
Also this episode Dylan is so annoying! He whisks Jim's TEENAGE daughter to MEXICO, and then is bent out of shape because Jim is upset. At one point at the wedding he throws his glass beer bottle at the wall, breaking it, because he is so upset with Jim for "breaking his trust" Really? Jim broke your trust? At which point he also tells Jim, "get your hands off my money!" Like there's anyone more trustworthy in Los Angeles to handle your money than Jim Walsh. Please. Jim is like an investment unicorn...someone this trustworthy doesn't even exist in real life.
Also this episode Brenda is super annoying (surprise!). Dylan says he may not go to Jackie's wedding because of the tension with Jim. Brenda says she's not going if he doesn't go. Really? You aren't going to go to your best friends mom's wedding? At which you are supposed to be a bridesmaid? Because your "teenage" boyfriend is mad at your dad?
So style award this episode goes to...Jackie! For her actually awesome maternity dress. This is our very first non-ironic style award guys. Enjoy it while it lasts because there won't be many more.
Our cocktail moment would be any time Jake from Melrose hits on Kelly...umm, statutory rape!
We are so excited to be done with nine-0 for now! On to Buffy! The theme is going to be "bloodless" we are challenging ourselves to an entirely vegetarian season. stay tuned!
