90210 - Son Burn

We open in the halls of West Bev, where Annie and Ethan walk and flirt, talking about their winter breaks. Naomi interrupts to recount many thrilling tales in which she forced Sean to act brotherly toward her. She couldn't be more transparent in her attempt to make Annie feel bad about not being included in said plans. It's pathetic, even by Naomi standards. The Perma Donna finally stoops low enough to insinuate that Sean doesn't want to hang out with Annie.
