==Synopsis==
Dylan's mother Iris makes a surprise visit to Beverly Hills, hoping to start fresh with her estranged son. Cindy hits it off with free-spirited Iris, but the strain of his mother's reappearance drives Dylan back to the bottle. Later Dylan and Iris reconcile and she tells him that she had left because his father drove her away and paid her a lot of money to stay out of his life. She took the money but never kept a penny of it, and now she's decided to give it to Dylan; she'll place it in a trust and ask Jim to look after it. Brandon decides to take Dylan to an A.A. meeting. Donna and Steve experiment with the stock market, and Donna turns out to have a surprising knack for picking successful stocks.

Kelly, along with the rest of his friends, try and support him and she encourages him to just be honest about his feelings. After Dylan skips a bunch of school he finally shows up again and Kelly jokes with him about him honoring them with his presence. They realize that he is drunk and Kelly and him get into an argument where he tells her to shut up and she says he's a mean drunk.
