Now, just because Jessica and Adam spent an afternoon together shopping doesn’t necessarily mean that they are romantically involved … but there is some hand-holding going on in these pics and you will note that Adam is happily carrying Jessica’s shopping bags from Intuition — a sure sign that the couple are truly, madly, deeply in love with one another, yes? I gots ta say, I’m not really feelin’ Adam’s new facial hair … it’s not a good look for him and he should shave immediately, thanks! And how about last night’s ep of 90210, y’all? Despite the severe lack of any of the old skoolers, I was pretty entertained by the episode. I can’t say that I wasn’t expecting that cliffhanger but I am very intrigued to see how it will play out in next week’s ep.

But, I know that some folks don’t like to read/see/hear about spoilers before the episodes air so I’m putting all the spoilery stuff behind the cut. After the jump, check out a few preview pics of tomorrow’s ep along with a short episode synopsis …

ANNIE AND TY DECIDE TO SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER — As opening night of “Spring Awakening” nears, Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Ty (guest star Adam Gregory) have had a chance to spend a lot of time together and Ty reveals his plans for a one-on-one after-party in his hotel room. Harry (Rob Estes) catches Annie and Ty kissing backstage and later he and Debbie (Lori Loughlin) express their concern for how fast Annie’s relationship is progressing. Silver (Jessica Stroup) is overwhelmed with stage managing the play so Dixon (Tristan Wilds) offers to help backstage, prompting the two to get close. Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) refuses to accept her parents’ divorce and is determined to get them back on track. Brenda (guest star Shannen Doherty), Kelly (guest star Jennie Garth) and Ryan (Ryan Eggold) confront Adrianna (guest star Jessica Lowndes) about an obvious substance abuse problem, giving Annie the chance to take the lead in the play. Jessica Walter, Dustin Milligan and Michael Steger also star. Paul Lazarus directed the episode written by Sean Reycraft (#105).

I totally love that they are doing Spring Awakening as their high school musical … tho, I doubt they’re gonna bust out the nude scenes that are featured in the actual Broadway production. If I recall, Brenda performed fully nekkid or chickened out of performing in the nude (I can’t recall which it was) in a play back on Beverly Hills, 90210 during the college years … I hope this isn’t merely an issue of plotline recycling cuz … that’d be bad, no? In any event, I’m really looking forward to this week’s new ep. I believe it is the last one that Shannen Doherty filmed for 90210 (she only committed to appearing in 4 eps thus far) so it may be some time until we get to see Brenda Walsh on the small screen. What a great time to bring back Donna Martin (Tori Spelling), don’tchathink?
