This week on 90210 (Season 5, Episode 19), Annie reveals herself as Author X on national TV. But her honesty comes at a price. Read Kidzworld’s recap of “The Empire State Strikes Back,” which aired on April 22nd, 2013, to discover what you missed.
Backlash
Even though Patrick showed up at her house threatening her family, Annie still decided to go public with her identity. But revealing that she wrote the scandalous memoir Undressed affects more lives than just her own. When her identity goes viral, Patrick's marriage is ruined. So he makes good on his promise to hurt her family, only it's not Dixon he targets. He stashes cocaine in Annie's half-brother Mark's luggage, causing him to get arrested for drug possession.
Tainted
Even Liam, dubbed "Leo" in Annie's book, is affected by her reveal. He and Navid go to great lengths to sponsor a high school surfing star, including hosting an Olly Murs concert with only one day's notice. But when the surfer's mother/manager finds out that Liam was featured in Annie's book, she forces her daughter to back out of the deal. Not all publicity is good publicity.
Mean Mean Mother
Silver and Mark plan a romantic night in the desert, an idea that Naomi squashes when she decides to bring them to New York. The mother of Naomi's crush is hosting a high class auction, which Naomi wants to attend in order to win her over. There's only one problem. Her reputation of being a fierce, intimidating and judgmental woman proves true. She pulls up Naomi's police record, forcing her to account for her past misdemeanors.
Pull the Plug
Michaela wants to try out for a singing competition that could be her big break. Silver reluctantly agrees when Dixon says that the odds of her winning are slim. But when she gets help from Adrianna to create a hit song in just two days, Silver gets worried. Then she learns that the winner will get to go on tour. That's when Silver pulls the plug on the operation. There's no way the surrogate mother of her child will be touring while pregnant.
Old Flame
Meanwhile, Adrianna and Navid shared an intimate night that had them both questioning their feelings for each other. While Navid knows that he doesn't want to revisit their past drama, Adrianna still has feelings for him. Unfortunately, so does Michaela.
