On the first day of school, Dylan makes a date with Emily Valentine, a new student who plays guitar and rides a motorcycle. She also makes a date with Brandon, and all of the guys seem quite taken with her. Emily offers to help Brenda, Kelly and Donna put together an act for the hello assembly. Dylan and Emily park at a spot overlooking the bluff and share a kiss. Brandon takes her to the same place the next night, and they also kiss. Brenda becomes extremely jealous and possessive after learning of Emily's involvement with Dylan. She accuses her of being a tramp, and treats her terribly at a barbecue at the Walsh house. Brenda apologizes to Emily and pleads with her to stay in the act, so that they have someone with talent. Brenda realizes that she still loves Dylan, and they get back together. Scott returns from his summer vacation in Oklahoma sporting a cowboy hat, with sudden interests in country music, fireworks and guns. David freaks out and decides to distance himself from Scott

FINALLY, after a streak of mostly dull summer episodes comes one of the greatest episodes of the entire series! The girls are hilariously b*chy in their treatment of "bad" girl Emily "Imly" Valentine ("there's a word for a girl like that!"). As for the subplot, David Silver acts just as mean to his so-called best friend, Poor Soon-to-be Dead Scott Scanlon, who only wants to show off his explosive new souvenirs from Oklahoma. And to think, he was kind enough to bring David back those C&W CD's (a gesture that awful David "Fred Cool" Silver doesn't even pretend to appreciate...)
P.S. Emily has a terrible singing voice!
