Anyway, in this episode Annie realizes that Jasper, who has already broken into her room on several occasions and has forced her to date him, is now stalking her by standing in the shadows. She's really quite the genius. In the plotlines I care about, Naomi's starting a gossip column for the school video paper thing, Navid is finally unsuspended, Dixon's got his birth mom to contend with, Aunt Becky (OK, Debbie... if you insist) is flirting with her yoga instructor and Rumer Willis is trying to hook up with Adrianna. The last plotline might be my favorite, especially if Mandy Musgrave comes back and tries to break them up. I love that girl from South of Nowhere and would love to see her working.

Yes, the show is cheesy, but I can't help myself. It is entertaining, if not ultimately all that satisfying. But I need something to watch before episodes of Lost, and this is it. The new episode airs tonight at 8 PM on the CW.
