Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210

We've said a lot of hurtful things about Coop, because he is a bad character and we have assessed him accurately. But one of the smartest things we've ever seen him do is try to get Craig on his side in the glove lawsuit by showing him the hard evidence that proves Coop really did come up with the idea first. When Jennifer is present for Craig's deposition, where he truthfully testifies about it,...

Peter confronts Lexi about the pills he found in her purse, which he went ahead and asked Coop about behind her back, and guess what: she feels betrayed! Fortunately, she's easily distracted by the project of redecorating not just the condo, but the offices of the Mancini Glove Company, too. Décor is the least of Michael's concerns: he's busy trying to convince Megan that she's extremely frail, an...

After the previous episode's cliffhanger gets resolved, Amanda must do damage control, trying her very best to convince Kyle that she did NOT accept Eric's offer even though, yes, when Kyle kicked his way into Eric's suite, she WAS in bed with him, naked. Then Billy stops by Kyle's to tell him that a bunch of their clients have come back, and whatever Amanda did, it's working. Hey, Billy? STAY OUT...

Once again, the doctors are in disarray! When Peter bails Coop out of jail, Michael turns on both of them, convinced that even if Coop didn't physically pull the trigger at the beach house, he's behind the person who did. Michael's so fired up about finding the shooter that even Megan gets curious enough to join in the investigation. Coop himself is pretty shocked when Mrs. Shaw accosts him outsid...

Sarah will be back next week (yay!) so this week in lieu of a void of nothingness we're unlocking two episodes from the Again With This Club . 060: Let’s Watch Thomas Calabro On Law & Order! Back in the unlamented Greevey era of Law & Order: Mothership , Thomas Calabro played a variation on Robert Chambers named Ned Loomis in Season 1, Episode 4, "Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die." We have...

While Amanda keeps the secret of Eric's designs against Kyle's entire hospitality empire, Eric completes his purchase of the KYLE'S/jazz club property, giving Kyle 30 days to exit. And that's not all: he's ALSO planning to sell Amanda's new agency to one of her competitors. However, he doesn't leave Amanda without hope: he will abandon all his plots if she will just do oooooooone little thing. Mic...

The main drama swirls around the doctors this time: Michael's already had a prototype cauterizing glove made and is ready to start making money off it immediately by selling it to a medical company; Craig wants to use it to build a company himself, which will make him and both Mancini siblings money in the long term. When Jennifer sees that Michael's stubbornness is going to drive Craig away (from...

Michael is the pivot point for virtually everyone in the A plot. He helps Taylor cover up her non-pregnancy after a fortuitous fall down the jazz club's eponymous stairs. He hassles Megan so much that he drives her into Eric's arms. He takes an idle conversation with Coop about surgical tools and turns it into a proposal to develop a new device AND lets Jennifer pitch him on tricking Craig into ba...

Still reeling from Sam’s shock departure at the end of the last episode, Billy takes time off from The AWA at the worst possible time to follow a hunch and locate her in Maryland, working at her mother Kate’s restaurant. Though Kate’s longtime employee Ernie seems kindly disposed toward Billy, he admits that Kate still feels guilty about mistakes she made in Sam’s childhood (edging us ever closer...

The organizers of a medical conference in Santa Barbara had NO IDEA their event was going to be a flashpoint for so much drama! First, Coop tries to get Michael to go and gets turned down flat. Then Megan tries to get Michael to agree to more therapy, so he claims he has to go to this conference and absolutely cannot get out of it! Then Coop tells Lexi he's not going to be able to see her when she...

Coop has not only taken Michael up on his invitation to join the medical practice -- he brings in a contractor to start talking about knocking down walls before he's even met Peter! Who by the way isn't thrilled to have this development sprung on him. Michael has MANY problems other than his business partner's rage: Megan gets him to enter couples' therapy, where they are challenged not to lie to...

For obvious reasons, Amanda is trying to void the lease that Taylor signed with Matt; for equally obvious reasons, she's annoyed that Kyle doesn't seem to care where Taylor lives or what she does. Then Amanda overhears Peter yelling at Taylor about her pregnancy, and tells Kyle about it. And when Kyle asks Taylor about it, she says that not only is it true...but that Kyle must be the father becaus...

Wilshire Memorial has always been a flashpoint for drama, and that has never been more true than in our Season 6 premiere. Peter is still in Carmel, sorting out his feelings about Taylor's pregnancy and making a huge decision. Michael is entering into a devil's bargain with Jennifer, so that she'll convince her new roomie Megan not to turn against Michael. Matt has decided to do his residency at a...

Though being a bitch queen has generally worked out for Amanda, her run may be at an end: Craig and Sydney are conspiring to bring down D&D from within, and her desperate attempt to get back the capital she poured into the jazz club fails when Kyle has to tell her he spent it on tables and bands and napkins and stuff. It's more than she can take -- literally (in a physical sense). And D&D...

Amanda returns from the DR divorced and in a great mood...until she learns that Sydney's employment was a condition of her settling her lawsuit. Sydney is suspicious about why Amanda is putting so many D&D resources behind the launch of Kyle's stupid club, while Amanda is greedily jealous of Craig's relationship with Sydney even though Amanda didn't even want him when she could have easily had...

Megan snitches to Kyle about Jennifer's new strip club job, from which he extricates her just before she's about to accept a promotion from server to performer, setting her up in his apartment...alone, because it's time for Amanda and Kyle to journey to the Dominican Republic to finalize their quickie divorces, but oh no! Amanda's apparently terrible travel agent booked them in a resort that has h...

If you worried that we might not hear about the jazz club this time, don't! Amanda has decided she needs to formalize her partnership with Kyle, and he eventually agrees -- as long as there's no chance Peter is going to weasel his way in. Amanda is on the same page, but regarding Taylor, so a summit is arranged at which the matter of these two lingering divorces is finally addressed. Taylor is pre...

Our A plot is basically a thicket of bad decisions: Amanda and Kyle going into the JAZZ CLUB business together! Jennifer impulsively outing her five-month affair with Kyle -- because yes, she was the server he fooled around with in Boston! Alison drinking in virtually every one of her scenes and Jake defending it to Amanda and Billy! And Taylor going along with Peter's domineering-husband role-pla...

Sydney's not thrilled that the grift she and Harry ran on D&D has resulted in actual injury for her. She is thrilled that he thinks they can take the agency for $5 million. Amanda's not worried about the lawsuit since this is exactly why they have insurance, but whoops, it turns out their policy renewal required some exclusions: of course the rickety stairs to the Business Balcony were among t...

Having lost everything thanks to Hilda's scam lawsuit, Sydney still doesn't want to accept Hilda's lawyer's offer to become his new partner in financial crime, but it's hard to deny they make a good team when they grift $2000 off another driver in well under two minutes flat. So she seeks a job waiting tables at Kyle's, which he's happy to give her as soon as he confirms it's really going to bug T...

The last episode having left both Alison and Kimberly in possibly mortal danger from their own bodies (and not fire, or Michael, as is usually the case), it makes sense that they share the A plot. Alison has been hospitalized with toxemia and orders not to do anything that might raise her blood pressure, including watch TV -- which seems crazy until some gossip Jake relays (well, look who's sudden...

Alison continues to go stir-crazy on cervix-related bed rest, so when Amanda announces that she's taking over one of Alison's big clients, Alison decides the money is too important, and sneaks into the office for a day to do the pitch herself. Of course this is the one day Jake ever comes home early from Shooters, and the return of Seething Incubator Cop Jake is unwelcome to say the least. Things...

With so many people's drama suddenly exploding into chaos, how is SYDNEY the pivot point? Well: she lets it slip in conversation with Peter that she slept with Kyle at the restaurant. Taylor walks in just in time to hear Peter confronting Kyle about it. And Kyle's at the center of a lot of eavesdropping action: first, when an ordered-to-couch-rest Alison overhears Taylor admitting to Kyle that Pet...
