In episode 7 of season 1 of 90210, titled "Hollywood Forever," the gang from West Beverly Hills High School attends a charity benefit at the famous Hollywood Forever cemetery. The episode explores the themes of adolescent insecurity, mortality, and betrayal.
The episode begins at the school, where the principal announces that the senior class has been chosen to organize a charity event at Hollywood Forever cemetery. Navid, the school's TV station manager, sees this as an opportunity for his station to cover the event and interview celebrities.
Meanwhile, Annie, who is still trying to adjust to her new school and social status, is struggling with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy. Her boyfriend Ethan is busy with football practice and won't be able to attend the benefit with her. Adrianna, who is supposed to be her "wingman," also cancels at the last minute, leaving Annie to attend the event alone.
At Hollywood Forever, we see several celebrities, including Carmen Electra and The Veronicas, as well as some of the parents of the students. Annie runs into a mysterious stranger who offers to show her around the cemetery. The stranger, however, turns out to have ulterior motives as he steals Annie's purse.
Meanwhile, Navid and his team are trying to get exclusive interviews with the celebrities, but are having difficulty as they are being outdone by a rival TV station from UCLA. Navid tries to come up with a plan to steal their scoop, but things go wrong when he accidentally drugs himself with some of his own medication.
As the night wears on, we see Adrianna struggling with her sobriety as she sees Ethan with another girl. She also has a confrontation with Naomi, who accuses her of stealing her dress. Adrianna is embarrassed and humiliated, and runs away from the event.
In the end, the gang comes together as they try to help Annie find her stolen purse. They eventually find the culprit and retrieve the purse, but not before they learn a valuable lesson about the consequences of their actions.
Overall, episode 7 of season 1 of 90210 is an emotional rollercoaster that explores the themes of insecurity, mortality and betrayal. The characters are put through some tough situations, and we see them grow and learn from their experiences. It's a great episode that sets the stage for some even more dramatic events to come.
