90210 Season 5 Episode 21 (5×21) “Scandal Royale” Review: The Zip Explodes For It’s Penultimate Episode!

When I say the zip explodes, i mean literally!

90210 proved just why it has been on the air for all these years and that is, by providing us some really great engaging drama. Below is a recap of the huge events that went down in it’s penultimate episode.

Source: CW

Adrianna sings for ‘The Last Time’? Is it just me or did any of use get a little teary during that montage where Ade was singing and everyone was looking all dramatic? (Annie and Dixon to be exact). And where was Navid during the huge explosion?

Anyway we’ll get back to the explosion later, First off Ade and Navid revealed that they rekindled their relationship by first deciding to tell Dixon (nice choice guys) in which Silver later found out too. Turns out though, Navianna still have those good ol’ trust issues they shared back in the old days. Navid believed she may still be up to all her mischievous schemes again (they even mentioned that ancient Javier drama). Ade also began to think that Navid is the same old issue guy she dated before.. yada yada yada.
But once he learned of her writing the song, he realized just what an ass his been (his words, not mine) and ran to patch things up whilst she was on stage.. that is before the big explosion happened. I really think Navid must of caught sight of the danger and rescued Ade somehow though.

Lannie resurfaces.. Yes and this time it actually meant something! Annie continued to show signs that she still loves him by offering to buy the bar, which then ran into a hurdle thanks to the old owner (who surprisingly provided Liam some wise words) needing to sign over the rights. It was quite cute seeing Annie cover herself shyly when Liam found the old engagement ring (it was also ironic that the agent said that things work better the second time).

Now that Liam is not leaving to Australia, he is continuing to downplayed his own feelings again by just waiting around for Annie to make the first move. His still with Sydney too, which made Annie realize she needs to leave the zip for good. But guys come on it’s obvious that Liam is going to stop her right?

Naomi takes the fall.. Again we saw just why we love Naomi so much. She can be a bitch sometimes but most of the time she actually goes out of her way to protect others. Last night we saw her cop being labelled a Beverley hills drug lord after a Japanese prince overdosed on some pills whilst Jordan’s sister was looking after him… Oh Naomi always putting your needs before others.

Now that shes’ freed Jordan from his mother’s grasp he is able to move freely business wise, but not Naomi wise. So does this mean poor Naomi will end up alone… I don’t think so but what do you guys think?

Silver got bad news.. again.. This season has certainly been a life changing one for poor Silver. She has been selfish quite a bit too but no one deserves that much pain. Not only has she been told she has the cancer gene, she tried to have a baby too in which Teddy interfered with by bringing in Michaela who sadly lost the baby last night. And now she faces the prospect of actually having cancer? Nice going too from Teddy, who after all this pain finally realized just how bad he treated her. All is well now though between the two as they made up in a touching beach hug, so i guess all is forgiven now. But lets begin to hope that Silver ends on a high note next week.

Overall, this was an excellent penultimate episode that managed to setup the stage for the series finale next week. Even though it was unknown whilst filming that the show was going to be cancelled it actually ended up feeling like one as the gang began to head towards the future and make some major changes in their lives.

Next week it all ends 90210 fans… just saying that feels startling as I’ve enjoyed watching and reviewing the show for quite a while now. But I guess all good things must come to an end.

See you fans one final time for my last review of the show, be sure to also check out my 90210 farewell tribute video which I will embed with it next week.

Overall Rating:
4.8/5
