The Back Story
Brenda, Donna, Kelly, Steve and David prepare to take the SAT. Brenda constantly argues with Kelly and also gets into hot water with her parents when they learn that she has been smoking since the Paris trip. Beth Nielson, a young producer from the tabloid show Back Story, seeks Brenda's help in putting together a story about Beverly Hills teens. The piece is intended to correct misconceptions, but Beth's boss deems it boring. She re-edits the story in a way that makes it seem that Brenda insulted and spilled dirt about all her friends. Everyone stops talking to Brenda, but Beth (who quit her job in a crisis of conscience) comes to her defense. Brandon is hesitant to ask out Nikki because she is just a sophomore. She gets on his nerves by following him everywhere, but they eventually kiss. Dylan decides to bypass the SAT to visit his father in prison. Jack warns Dylan to make provisions for his future, and convinces him to take the test at a nearby high school. A West Beverly graduate offers Steve a master key to the school. Music: 'Baby, Baby, Baby' by TLC,
'Why Do Fools Fall in Love?' by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, 'Like to Get to Know You' by Spanky and Our Gang.
