Blood Is Thicker Than Mud - Recap

The scene opens, and Jen is back in town and is for once playing nice with little sister Naomi, this is until they both realize they are in love with the same guy – PJ; much to their dismay. The two decide to compete in a friendly but very petty manner that includes spilling juice, locking people in bathrooms, and stealing Naomi’s “the one” dress (the dress Naomi has been saving for the right man). So far Jen has stolen two guys from Naomi, let’s hope this is not number three. But it just might be from the look of things. Meanwhile, Adrianna can’t shake off that gut feeling that Vanessa sabotaged Dixon and Adrianna’s meeting; she has a gut feeling about it. She decides to check Vanessa’s phone and realizes that it was in fact Vanessa; thus her doubts weren’t unfounded.

Vanessa walks in on Adrianna snooping and denies the accusation. She promises to not tell Liam of Adrianna’s indiscretion but Adrianna must back off or else; she clearly threatens Adrianna in no uncertain terms. Dixon convinces Adrianna to let it go since they have no proof and since they got an amazing opportunity to play at a music festival; and should thus concentrate on that. Of course, Adrianna doesn’t let it go when she discovers the woman Liam saved is an actress. She stumbled on the woman’s headshot and uses it as proof when she confronts Liam about the situation; as she doesn’t want to let this matter slip by. Meanwhile, Ivy and her new boy toy, Diego, continue their awesome street art run until Ivy gets a call from Sonya, the gallery owner. They think she is pressing charges because Diego vandalized her gallery but it turns out Sonya loves the street art that Diego and Ivy have been putting up.

She is willing to not press charges if they decide to do an art show in her gallery. Diego doesn’t like the idea of selling his art because it makes him a sellout; something he was completely against from the beginning. Ivy is more upset about the fact that Diego didn’t want to call her his girlfriend. Diego doesn’t want to put a “label” on it and Ivy decides to drop Diego all together; as they both seem to want completely different things. Meanwhile, Annie is still trying to give meaning to her life and her money and continues to do make totes with PJ. She finds P.J. very difficult to work with but she is determined to do something for the greater good; and is thus determined to stick around. While everybody is off being glamorous, making art, or fighting over a boy, Silver is dealing with the possibility of having cancer. She refuses to take the test that would tell her if she has the gene for cancer and the stress of it finally hits her while she is working on the set of the movie Liam is on.

She breaks down and Liam is the only person there at the time that she confides in. Liam wasn’t very helpful when she first told him but Liam pulls through for her in the end by letting her know that he will be there for her if she needs anything; thus reassuring her to a certain extent. Adrianna and Dixon make it to the music festival and everybody is there to give their support. Musical guest star, Train, is also at the music festival singing a few of their awesome songs! At the festival, Ivy recognizes her street art being made into t-shirts. She decides to help Annie out with her ugly tote bags by putting her art on the totes instead. Annie and Ivy might just come out with a successful charity after all, from the look of things. Meanwhile, Liam confronts Vanessa about the actress that he saved at the charity event. Vanessa is upset that Liam is even questioning her. She tries to convince Liam that all he did was save a woman who happened to be an actress; and that there was nothing more to it.

She also tries to use the “Adrianna is crazy” card in order to get out of the little debacle; as she has her back against the wall, and can’t seem to be able to come up with anything better. Meanwhile, Vanessa is obviously upset with Adrianna but decides to get her sweet revenge by setting up Adrianna as a crazy person. Before Adrianna is set to perform Vanessa comes in breaking stuff in her trailer and whacking her head against a mirror. Adrianna tries to stop her from harming herself but Vanessa starts wailing cries of help. Liam and Dixon run in to see Vanessa bruised up and Adrianna pinning her down; thus it obviously looks like Adrianna is to blame. Vanessa makes up the story that she was in there to congratulate Adrianna when Adrianna attacked her. Liam is upset with Adrianna but Dixon is even more upset that Liam believes Vanessa. Security shows up at the trailer and basically Adrianna is escorted out the door for questioning thus unable to perform.

Dixon is there to cover for her and puts out an amazing performance; visibly impressing everyone around. A record executive is impressed with his work and wants to sign him to her label. However, she doesn’t want Adrianna because she has a bad reputation in the music industry. Dixon doesn’t say yes or no but he also doesn’t tell Adrianna about the offer he got from the executive; as he is probably contemplating what he should do. Meanwhile, Diego visits Ivy at the festival and they decide to be an official couple; Ivy is visibly overjoyed. Ivy sure likes to work from one man to the next very quickly, from the look of things. Jen and Naomi resolve their differences even though it took a mud-wrestling showdown to get them to play nice again.

Jen decides to let Naomi have P.J. and Naomi can’t believe how unbelievably nice Jen is being to her. Naomi lets Jen know that no matter what happens Naomi will always be there for Jen. This is all cute and sweet until Naomi comes home to Jen’s backstabbing letter. Jen writes to Naomi letting her know that she decided to take the baby and visit Napa Valley. Nappy Valley also happens to be where P.J. is at helping his father with a wine crisis. Thus Jen has once again played Naomi for a fool, much like in the past. In Liam’s trailer, Silver tells him that she has decided to take the test. She doesn’t want to go alone and Liam agrees to go with her, for moral support.

She also makes Liam promise not to tell anyone about her situation. Meanwhile, Vanessa is on the set looking for Liam. Somebody working on the film tells Vanessa that Liam is in his trailer with the production assistant, Silver, and that they have been spending a lot of time together lately; and Vanessa looks visibly jealous. In fact, Vanessa gets that look on her face like she is about to do something crazy and thus from the look of things, quite the drama is about to unfold. The episode ends on this note.
