90210 Season4 Ep16Full Recap & Video
No Good Deed
The scene opens with Naomi discussing the details of an impending party with a possible client; with the client seeming impressed with her ideas. After hearing Naomi out, the client asks for references, which Naomi obviously doesn't have, as she is new in the business, and thus would take time to build a reputation and references. The client makes it amply clear, that she wouldn't be comfortable with entrusting her with the job, without her having any professional experience. Meanwhile at the bar, Liam is shown thanking Sheila for helping him out with the publicity of the party. He reveals to her, his desire to act on TV and in films. Sheila feels that it would take Liam some time to get a footing in the industry, but Vanessa completely disagrees. The two ladies have a difference in opinion, with Sheila walking out. Liam is worried about his agent quitting on him, but Vanessa reassures him that, they can make it on their own, without anybody else's help. Vanessa decides to take things into her own hands and books Liam a gig on Good Day LA. What they didn't know is that he would be part of the cooking segment. Liam is awkward and nervous and messes up his big debut when he becomes a klutz on television. He may have a hot body but camera personality may not be his thing, it turns out. Meanwhile, Ivy is getting ready to show her art collection at a gallery. At the beach, Silver, Ivy and Annie arrive to distribute flyers for the new gallery opening. Just then a few skateboarders rudely brush past them. One of the guys comes back and apologizes. Ivy is pissed but is intrigued by his cool artwork on his skateboard. Ivy invites this skater dude to come to her gallery but he isn't such a big fan. Instead, he decides to trash the gallery and all of Ivy's photos instead. When Ivy confronts him about his crime, he says that he wants to make art that makes people think and not just pretty photos to sell. Ivy realizes that her art isn't the art that she wants to make. She goes back to the skater boy's studio in order to learn more about the art that he makes. As Ivy gains her new passion for photography and art, Annie is having trouble trying to find her calling in life. Annie frets about how her life had turned out, to Silver. She decides to use her time and money to help organize a big charity event. She invites Liam to come due to his new celebrity status and asks Ivy to donate one of her pictures to be auctioned off. When a journalist wants to interview the host of the party and founder of the charity foundation, Annie decides to step in when he can't be found. Unfortunately, Annie gets burned for helping a foundation that seems to be doing more harm than good. She vents her frustrations out to a bar tender by name-calling the charity's founder, who couldn't even come to the charity event he planned! Turns out that bar tender was the charity founder, much to her surprise. Liam tries to comfort Annie on her failed attempts at trying to help make the world a better place. In the middle of their heart to heart, a woman is drowning in the bay! Of course, Liam goes to save the damsel; he tends to have a knack for that. The press is all over the story and Liam is not camera shy anymore thus launching his new career. Why would a girl be drowning in the water at a charity event? Well, Vanessa believes in all of Liam's endeavors. She believes in him so much that she is willing to pay someone to drown in the water in order to create good press for him. Her plan in the end seems to work beautifully in Liam's favor. Meanwhile, Naomi catches hold of Mitchell Nash, Nash was the rock and roll star that barfed on her at the red carpet weeks before; she decides that, he would be her first client and the ticket to her success. Mitchell entrusts her with the responsibility, of hosting his daughter's birthday party. If Naomi can pull of a smile on Nash's daughter, Carla, he promises to get her all the clients in the world. Naomi is then introduced to the daughter; complete with Gothic makeup and a nasty attitude. Naomi has trouble trying to keep the troubled teenager happy especially since she just moved into town and has no friends. Naomi decides to throw her the biggest party so that Carla can make a name for herself. When the party turns to illegal drinking, Nash showing up to the shindig, and Carla about have sexual relations with some random boy, Naomi pulls the plug on the party. She wanted to save Carla from the mistakes Naomi has made in trying to gain friends and popularity. Nash decides to fully hire Naomi for any upcoming parties, considering it was all thanks to Naomi that he and his daughter had a heart to heart with him, and in the end the two bonded. It was something he had wanted all along, and thanks to the party he managed that. Business will soon be booming for Miss Naomi Clark, it seems. At a different party, where the occasion is more sad than happy, Navid is going away to attend Princeton University. The gang is all excited for his next big step, unaware of what he really wants. While Silver is happy that he is finally getting himself on track, she is not excited about the idea of him leaving especially since she realized only now that she truly loves Navid. Silver in fact concedes to Annie the fact that she still loves Navid; Navid too confesses to Adrianna that, he was hoping Silver would ask him to stay back. However, Silver doesn't tell him her feelings; as she doesn't want to be an impediment to his career, and thus Navid is off to the east coast to go to school, leaving heartbroken Silver behind. Meanwhile, Adrianna tires enticing a preoccupied Dixon with some sexy lingerie, but he is more involved in his work and doesn't pay the requisite amount of attention. Adrianna shares with Navid, how unromantic Dixon is. Dixon and Adrianna are having problems with their work and sexual relationship combination. Adrianna feels that there is no more relationship and just work. Dixon decides to give Adrianna the key to his apartment so they could live together. Adrianna is excited; assuming that Dixon wants them to live together out of love, until Dixon explains that her having a key would be a "convenience", as far as their professional relationship is concerned. Adrianna is upset as she wants more intimacy and love, as opposed to a dominant professional relationship between the two. In the end though; Dixon and Adrianna make up and they are one big happy couple again. After cleaning up after a disastrous party the last thing Naomi needs is drama. Of course, drama comes knocking when Jen, her evil sister, is back. The episode ends.
