I wrote this *very* opinionated recap for a friend, heavy on the Brandon and
Andrea bit...

	In my opinion, there were too many storylines going on at the same 
	time, and they were all handled really trite-ly (if that's a word).

	They were:  Brenda and Donna in Paris, Donna whining about everything
		    and Brenda trying to have a good time.
		    They end up accidentally ordering and eating Veal brains.

		    At home, Dylan's father is up for parole and Dylan has to
		    write a nicey-nice letter to the parole board about his 
		    Dad.  He writes the nice letter (though it's not terribly
		    sincere) but his Dad doesn't get parole.

		    Meanwhile, (totally out of the blue and unrelated) Kelly
		    and Dylan seem to be hanging around w/ each other ... a
		    *little*...  and they sort of purposely fall on each other
		    during a beach game of tug-o-war...  I forget his name,
		    Ian, the slimey tall one, calls them "love birds", but
		    nuthin' really happens.  It was contrived IMHO, and 
		    neither one of them showed any emotion.

		     Andrea convinces a little deaf kid's mother to let her
	             son join Andrea's day camp group.  She knows how to sign,
		     so the kid has a good 'ole time on the beach.

NOW: we, and Andrea, find out that her cute boyfriend is a total conservative
Republican, she's a "card-carrying liberal" but they kiss and hug a lot and
look really happy so it doesn't seem to matter.  He has to go to Texas for the
GOP convention, and arranges to get her a job there too, so they can be together, she agrees to go.  Meanwhile, Brandon has been lurking in the backround,
playing with her kids and sorta jealously watcing her and GOP-guy hang all over
each other.  Steve (slimey, is that his name?) notices and says, you'd better
make your move quick, before it's too late.
So Brandon catches up with her as she's all dressed up, heading out for a date
with her boyfriend... he says, you know, the kids are really gonna miss you,
especially the deaf kid, and "Actually, *I* am going to miss you most of all",
and he grabs her, and kisses her. (I was jumping up and down screaming)...
after the kiss (not too long one) she sorta shoves him away and says, "what the
Hell was that ??!!!??" (angrily)  He says, "It's just how I feel".  Then she
gives this GREAT speech that I can't remember verbatim, like:  Your timing
is really lousy, you know very well you only like me now because I'm seeing
someone else, and where have you been for the last two years?!?!  It was 
*GREAT* then she left him standing there like a jerk.  The next day she 
decides not to go to Texas, and he says to her: Did *I* have anything to do 
with this decision, and she says "No you conceited jerk" (I believe her) and
he says "You really like this guy don't you" and she says "Yeah I really do".
And he says "I guess it's true, you never know what you've got till you 
lose it."
		The end.   BTW, the previews showed Brandon kissing ANOTHER
		girl in another storyline, so I guess he got over it quick.
		He was sort of a jerk thru the whole episode, and he really
		got what he deserved. (Even though the kiss was HOT).

		Comments questions???
