After multiple weeks on hiatus, 90210 returned to TV last night with an all new episode that started bringing several stories to a head. Annie and Ethan broke up; Naomi and Liam started something new. And Silver…well, she’s gone completely insane.

Yeah, the show is getting pretty good.

Erin Silver, played wonderfully by Jessica Stroup, is actually one of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 characters. She was born during the third season of the series, daughter of Kelly Taylor’s mother and David Silver’s father (they were married for a spell). She’s also been part of the main 90210 cast since the pilot episode of the series. Silver began to feature more prominently in the series when she started having a relationship with Dixon. But now, the character seems to be heading toward a whole new story arc.

Last night’s episode showed the deterioration of the relationship so quickly, it was almost like watching the show in fast-forward. It began with wild lovemaking and even more making out, but ended on a very jarring note indeed. Next week will no doubt bring straight jackets to Beverly Hills.

Want to see Silver’s breakdown? You can catch it - the final scene of the episode - at the end of the clip.
