Catalog log

Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.

Brandon is forced to ask Jesse for help to defend his presidency when his political opponent, Alex Diaz, calls for a hearing to determine the validity of his position and Jesse comes up with a winning idea. Meanwhile, the entire gang goes to a Rolling Stones concert. Brandon takes Andrea to the concert. Kelly gets backstage VIP access through the magazine, while Steve has trouble getting in at all after a hippie steals his wallet. Ray and Donna work as vendors and see the show free of charge. David and Clare go to the concert even though they claim to hate the group, but have to turn to a scalper when David's father doesn't show up with the tickets. Elsewhere, Dylan takes one step forward in his rehabilitation on his first day at the halfway house. Steve and his father force Dylan out of the Peach Pit After Dark. He agrees to sell his shares when Steve, Nat, and Willie (the cook) visit him in rehab. Dylan and Valerie agree to stop seeing each other, as he doesn't want to involve her in his problems anymore. During group therapy, Dylan has a confrontation with Charley, an older man and fellow addict who likes to bully other patients instead of dealing with his own problems. Charley seeks Dylan's help to finally overcome his addiction.

The teen-drama industrial complex starts here, spinoffs included.

So about the ZIP code. Minnesota twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh land at Beverly Hills High and Fox learns, in public, that teens will show up every week for peach-pit romance, pool-party lighting, and a curriculum of Very Special Topics.
