In Beverly Hills 90210 season 5 episode 6, entitled "Homecoming," the gang returns to their high school for their ten-year reunion. The episode begins with Kelly picking out a dress for the event, but she hesitates when Steve asks her to be his date. Meanwhile, Brandon is excited to see all of his old classmates and catches up with a few of them at the reunion. Donna is also eager to attend the event, but her enthusiasm quickly fades when she runs into her ex-boyfriend, Ray, who she has not seen since they broke up years ago.
As the night unfolds, tensions rise between Kelly and Steve when it becomes apparent that he only asked her to be his date to make another woman jealous. Kelly confronts Steve about his intentions and decides to walk out of the reunion. Meanwhile, Donna and Ray try to avoid each other, but they eventually have a confrontation that forces them to revisit their past relationship. Brandon, on the other hand, finds himself caught in the middle of a feud between two former classmates.
While the gang is at the reunion, Dylan is dealing with his own troubles back in Los Angeles. He is surprised by a visit from his estranged mother, Iris, who he has not seen in years. Iris wants to reconnect with Dylan, but he is hesitant to let her back into his life after she abandoned him as a child. Meanwhile, David tries to make amends with his former flame, Valerie, but she is not interested in reconciling.

Brandon gets into a fight with a former classmate who accuses him of stealing a girl he liked. Donna and Ray have a heart-to-heart conversation about their past relationship, but it does not end well. And Dylan struggles with the decision of whether or not to forgive his mother.
In the end, the group overcomes their differences and comes together to celebrate their ten-year reunion.
