90210: Anchors Aweigh!
Best Battle: Naomi and Annie
These ladies are in a fight to the finish, and we'll be amazed if anyone survives. After Naomi denies all knowledge of the pic, Annie enlists the help of Mucky Mark to expose her. Mark tells the truth on Teddy's boat, which make Silver and Adrianna aghast. How could she? Now, if only Annie had rested on that victory and retreated to the moral high ground... but she had to keep pushing it. She begs Liam to go with her and tell Naomi the truth about what happened... then LIES that she and Liam had been sleeping together the whole time, sharing some post-coital Naomi mockery after every bout between the sheets. "Everyone you love just ends up loving me more," Annie says. "First Ethan, then Liam... who's going to be next?" A satisfying victory for Annie, but she may have ensured her own downfall -- now Liam is furious with her, and Silver, who overheard Annie's attack, is firmly on Naomi's side. Plus, now Annie owes Mark favors... and we can't help but think they're of the sexual kind. Ick!
Adorable Award: Navid
His mock interview with himself -- reporter Navid attacking, normal Navid answering -- had us just as smitten as Ades. Seriously, how can you resist the guy?
There's more after the break -- read on!
Good or Bad? We Can't Tell! Citation: Teddy
We just don't know about that guy. He seemed sincere when he told Navid he got kicked out of Exeter protecting his roommate, and Navid sure bought it. But has he just inherited his dad's acting skills? He certainly seems to be up to something when he makes his move on Adriana while poor Navid is puking into an ice bucket.
Mysterious Evil Lair Award: Liam
After the debacle on the boat, Liam retreats to his lair, which appears to be a basement workshop approximately the size of Montana. He's mad as hell and he's got blueprints. So... what the hell is going on? Is he planning on tunneling under Annie's house? We're intrigued!
Bad Idea Award
Dixon meets Sasha, the woman of his dreams, only to discover that she's older. As in, college grad, and we're assuming she didn't pull a Doogie Howser and matriculate at age 15. So what's a boy to do? Dixon plans to tell her the truth... eventually. Unfortunately, Sasha ends up being the DJ at Teddy's party, so ... all of a sudden he's a music exec, Navid is his assistant, and Navid's Lamborghini is his car. Silver graciously declines to out him as a LIAR, but she does launch a few barbs. And then Dixon realizes why Lying is Bad: Sasha decides they'll start their Sunday date on Saturday night -- but driving up to Napa in Navid's sweet ride. Doh!
When Harry Met Kelly
Debbie tries to deal with Annie in a kind and sensitive fashion, which Harry puts the smackdown on. Debbie protests, but Harry won't hear it -- at least, not until Kelly makes the same argument. THEN it makes PERFECT sense! Debbie objects. So Harry should think twice about making a lunch date/appointment with Kelly right? Right? Hello, is this thing on?
So, who's in for the biggest fall? Who's going ot cause the most trouble? Which plotline are you loving the most? Talk!

Great recap, Sarah!
My thoughts:
Liam's behavior at the end seemed a little out of left field. Annie's lie is all it took to send him over the deep end? The boy's been through tougher things than a little Annie/Naomi rivalry!
Oh, wow, the Harry and Kelly stuff. They hinted at it last season, but it was nothing more than a mild flirtation. Now it seems like it may actually become real. The actors have chemistry, but I'd like to see Kelly used for something other than a plot device.
Dixon's relationship is going nowhere fast, but it's going to be fun to watch.
Adrianna needs more of a storyline!
Navid's apology was cute, but I still think he and Adrianna won't last. Not without devious Teddy in the picture... and worse, Navid thinks Teddy's awesome now, so he totally trusts him.
