So this week’s episode was kind of boring. I mean, it featured illegal car racing, escorting, & political intrigue and I was still looking at the clock wondering how much longer until it was over. The season’s been a complete mess basically, but if it were an entertaining mess perhaps I wouldn’t be looking to see how much time’s left.
Read on for tonight’s character breakdown.
Annie/Dixon/Adrianna – So Annie found a rehab facility to put Dixon in, but its $40,000. Annie tells Dixon she’ll figure out a way to get the $10,000 down payment, but she, of course, doesn’t tell him about her escorting. Annie tells Patrick about her money woes and he gives her the $10,000, but she then confronts him about the woman she saw him with in Vegas, to which he only says he thought she knew about their “arrangement”. Annie later sells all the things Patrick gave her but only ends up with a couple thousand dollars, so by the end of the episode she’s back to her “arrangement” with Patrick. Dixon tells Adrianna he has feelings for her and she tells him she feels the same way, but Annie told her to stay away from him. Dixon tells Annie to stop controlling him and that he wants Adrianna to drive him up to rehab. Adrianna tells Annie that Dixon may still be on drugs. Adrianna breaks up with Dixon after dropping him off at rehab.
Naomi – Naomi’s storyline this week consisted of her helping her sorority sister, Alana, find a guy to hook up with. Naomi tries to teach Alana how to flirt and approach her crush, Stanley, but Stanley turns out to be a douche and he hits on Naomi. It’s okay though, because Alana finds another guy named Paul and they go to an all night breakfast place. Naomi, meanwhile, calls Austin and apologizes for messing things up in Vegas.
Silver/Teddy – Silver’s at the bar with Teddy & Shane when Teddy’s wedding video shows up on TV. Teddy blames Shane for leaking it. Silver finds out she accidentally sent the video to Marissa, and when she asks Marissa if she leaked the video, Marissa admits to it. Teddy, meanwhile, is sick of all the attention he’s getting from the video so he breaks on to a race car track with Liam and gets arrested. Silver bails him out and admits to accidentally leaking the video. Teddy says he can’t forgive her.
Liam – Liam’s bosses want him to do another campaign for cologne and the only reason Liam agrees to do it is because of the race track setting. Unfortunately, Liam does not get to drive the race car because there’s a clause in his contract that prevents him from doing anything besides breathing basically. The agency gives him a handler and he decides to ditch her and go to the race track. After racing with Teddy, the cops come and Liam breaks his leg trying to escape. Since he broke his leg, Liam owes the agency $200,000, which he will pay back by doing a bunch of random photo shoots.
Ivy/Raj – Ivy & Raj are back and waiting for Raj’s test results to come back. Ivy’s photography teacher, Nick, tells her about a photo showcase where the top prize is a trip to New Guinea with a photographer. Raj convinces Ivy to do it. Meanwhile, Raj applies to John Hopkins University. Ivy ends up winning the trip and the photographer she’s going with is, unsurprisingly, Nick. At the end of the episode, Raj gets news that his cancer is completely gone and the treatment worked.
These storylines are really boring. The show has always been a hot mess, but at least it was sort of interesting at one point. So what did you guys think of the episode? Leave your TwoCents in the comments below!
