Senior. Year. Baby. Prepare to be brutally assaulted with these three words for the first two minutes of “90210’s” third season premiere — if viewers even make it that far, that is.
Yes, somehow, The CW has allowed for the loveably common sense−deficient teens of West Beverly High School to return for another year of scandalous plots that “The O.C.” (2003−07) and “One Tree Hill” have already done. Many watch “90210” just to make fun of it, but the show occasionally offers some insight or humor of such good quality that it seems almost accidental.
To provide some context: Last season, the main character, Annie (Shenea Grimes), cried a lot and had sex with a weird person. This weird person, Jasper (Zachary Ray Sherman), happened to be the nephew of some guy she ran over and killed on prom night when she was drunk. Hilarity ensues.
Luckily for Annie, the writers of “90210” decided to wrap up all storylines from last season within the first ten minutes of the episode so that newer, even more forgettable plots could shine.
For finally confessing to her hit−and−run (after an entire year of secrecy), Annie served a measly summer on house arrest and is on probation until she’s 25. Jasper? He wasn’t even in the episode. Annie’s friends? Oh, they still love her. “You can finally put the hit and run behind you,” they say. She agrees: No more monkey business or gratuitous killings this year. Now that everyone’s cool with her being a murderer, things can finally go back to normal.
But normal is relative in the show’s fictional Beverly Hills.
