In the episode Anaconda of Beverly Hills 90210 season 2, the gang tries to work on their studies and attend classes despite various challenges. Brenda and Donna think they could go for some extra help in their studies so they look to get a tutor. Steve decides to organize a rave, while Dylan wants to throw a party in his hotel room despite the management's strict policies on throwing house parties.
Meanwhile, Andrea tries to get closer to Brandon, but the guys in her dorm are making things difficult, and she struggles finding a way to deal with them. When she does finally get a chance to sit down with Brandon and study, the two find themselves attracted to one another. However, things aren't always so easy at university, and they are interrupted by some drama with one of Andrea's roommates.
As the night progresses, the rave Steve throws turns out to be a disaster, with people getting hurt and the cops getting called. Meanwhile, Dylan's hotel party goes pretty well, and the group ends up having a moment of bonding over their fears and dreams while overlooking the beautiful city. Their night out ends with them coming face-to-face with a giant snake, which they promptly deal with.
Overall, this episode has everything one could ask for – parties, sass, and of course, drama. The plot is well-executed, with each character's storyline flowing naturally and never feeling too forced. The show's writing is witty and fun, making it easy to get into the swing of things, even if you've never seen an episode before.
If you're looking for 90s nostalgia and drama, this episode will deliver. The show never shies away from difficult topics, like examination anxiety and social anxiety, but also knows when to have fun. With plenty of laughs and a great script, this show is perfect for anyone who wants to harken back to the good old days of Beverly Hills 90210.
