The 90210 finale was ker-razy!

Just caught up on the last two episodes of 90210's vastly improved second season and they didn't disappoint.

There were break-ups galore; Teddy and Silver, Ivy and Dixon, Harry and Debbie, and Naomi and Liam. The latter two pairs stuck whilst the former two managed to find a happy ending before the credits rolled.

There was also a happy and totally sweet make-up in the form of Adrianna and Navid, though that irritating Javier made things difficult for the pair by inviting Ade on his year long tour, which became the first cliffhanger of the season.
Jasper made his return in the penultimate episode, just in time to see Annie and Liam cosying up on his boat. Liam makes the decision to confess about stealing the coins for his father which prompts Annie to make her own confession about killing Jasper's grandfather.
Unfortunately whilst Annie is doing that Jasper is setting fire to Liam's boat- y'know the one he has spent all year making.

Oh yeah and Jen is back with a baby bump- urgh, she's a good antagonist, but only for so long. And it looks like since it's Ryan's baby- she might be around for a lot longer. Ryan's of course isn't allowed access to the child, so he goes off on a drunken bender setting fire to the school sign and his car.

Proving it's not a great day for West Bev's teachers, Harry gets blackmailed for covering up Dixon's involvement in the school break in and admits this to the school superintendent and gets fired.
Lastly but most shockingly after losing her finances to Jen, breaking up with Liam, her car not starting and her phone battery failing, Naomi turns to falsely accused Mr Cannon for help, who then in turn tries to rape her, thus ending the season.

It was definitely a shocking finale and there's lots in place, storyline-wise for next season. Naomi, Liam, Jasper and Ryan's fates, Adrianna's decision, and the consequences of Annie's confession.

However the thing that has impressed me most about the finale is how all the little things came together. There was the season long storyline about Liam's boat, demonstrating the show's ability to have long term continuity; Annie's confession on the computer in the penultimate episode which was 'auto-saved' in a not so subtle promotion for Windows in a much earlier episode; and Naomi's lie about Mr Cannon coming back to haunt her.

The show is still glorious, gorgeous to look at, fluff and whilst some of the dialogue and acting is still a little bit questionable, the overall arc's of the show are vastly improving showing that the show can more than hold it's own.
