90210 Season 5 Episode 19 “The Empire State Strikes Back” Review/Recap!

Now that’s how you do one strong 90210 episode, fill it with some major drama!

Let’s take a look at the juicy highlights of the night below:

Ade gets what she wants.. by shoving Silver’s feelings down her throat. First off, we found out that her little kiss with Navid last week ended up bed, then they both decided to brush it off as “the final time”. But nope, according to her heartfelt co-written song with Michaela in which Ade learned that she still has strong feelings for Mr.Shirazi. Isn’t he a popular man right now? as Michaela shares the exact same feelings for them.. oh oh! Crazy Ade’s after you now.

First up on her revenge to-do-list was to leak the song Silver declined to release that she wrote with Michaela. How will this effect Silver and Michaela now? Will Ade be in hot water again?

Silver tries turn over a new leaf, but fails.. Sorry Silv, but that was just plain nasty to control and lash out at your surrogate. At first she took on ‘Samantha’ for the day by saying yes to everything, including dating Mark and allowing Michaela to write a song, before not only turning down Mark again but throwing her surrogates writing efforts in her face by demanding that she not got on tour o release her potential hit song.

Come on Silver, now that’s selfish!

Naomi finds herself.. yet again after fearing her new love interests mother who turned out to be a total stalker and controlling freak.

Thanks to Mark again, she saw the light and used that Naomi confidence that we all love to gain the upper-hand over his mother and prove just what a woman she is.

Also, best episode quote awards go to Mrs.Clark again, her comments to Annie were hilarious last night.

Annie’ book wreaks havoc on the world.. and yes it caused huge damage. It’s all nice that Annie finally stepped up her game and told her brother about her escort ordeal before revealing to the world that she’s author X.

But the repercussions are just getting started, not only did it ruin Liam’s new surf girl business it opened up a old wound and brought Patrick’s dirty self back into the picture after warning her to keep her identity quite over not wanting his own secrets to be out.

He failed to get his payback via Dixon though and I now assume that he directed it to Mark by framing him for importing drugs? The question now, is what else Patrick’s capable off? Watch out Annie.

Side notes.. Go the Wilsons! How fun was it seeing Dixon protect his sister. Also count on Liam to get involved in yet another young girls problems, his just to trusting. Finally, whilst in NY did anyone catch a potential GG Mrs Waldorf  reference, could it be a Blair nudge? Oh well, we can keep dreaming.

Overall, a strong setup for the final 3 episodes of 90210 that delivered just what makes the show work best, some serious drama! Also is anyone else feeling that it’s already being setup for the final with all these characters finally growing, re-uniting and setting up there future, or is it just me?

Overall Rating:
4.8/5
