The show opens at The Peach Pit with Donna (Tori Spelling) and David (Brian Austin Green) dancing and Brandon (Jason Priestley) greeting them. Kelly (Jennie Garth) is also working there and it seems as if she and Brandon now own their former high school hangout.

 

David and Donna are in a booth, canoodling and discussing music. Andrea (Gabrielle Carteris) and Steve (Ian Ziering) are also there and are served an egg, which is a throwback to Season Two when they tried to get into a club.

 

Suddenly, Donna screams and we cut to Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth on a plane….the coach section. Tori wonders if it is cheating if you dream of kissing your ex. Jennie says no, just like it is not murder if you kill your ex in a dream.

 

The whole plane chants “Vegas” and Tori Instagram’s it saying they are on their way to the “90210” 30th reunion. We cut to Tori in her kitchen with her husband Nate (Ivan Sergei) and kids. She is complaining about the price of Mommy and Me yoga. Nate tells her talk about it later and she agrees to save it for the cameras.  He says that is not what he meant.

 

It turns out that Tori and Nate are reality TV stars. Or so she thinks. They find out the show is actually cancelled due to lack of story.

 

Back to the plane. Tori is rehashing the story to Jennie. She says this always happens and when things slow down, she falls on a hibachi. Jennie says this is why she loves her.

 

Tori is determined to sell the network another season of the show, which is called “Tori and Nate: Spelling the Beans.” She says she needs the money and has six kids.

 

Jennie thinks Nate should get a job and Tori says he is hoping to get one as an NHL announcer. She then complains about there being no room on the plane and Jennie reminds her that they are in coach.

 

Brian (Brian Austin Green) is on his private plane, FaceTiming with his wife Shay (La La Anthony). We then cut to him watching her win an award on TV, her with the kids and him talking about the “90210” event.

 

Ian (Ian Ziering) is promoting a book with his wife Stacey (Jenna Rosenow). He is also attending the reunion. However, she cannot go because she is auditioning for the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” He squeals and congratulates her. As he leaves, she tells him not to get too crazy in Vegas.

 

Gabrielle (Gabrielle Carteris) is complaining about leaving her granddaughter, who was born three days ago. She doesn’t like being called “grandma,” but loves that the baby’s name is also Gabrielle. Her son and daughter-in-law tell her this is why she will be confused if they call her Gabby. She takes a work call for the Actors’ Guild and agrees to be impartial. She finds out about a director of a new project and says she will kill him.

 

Jason (Jason Priestley) is a director and talks to some guy named Chaz (Evan Roderick) about his work and ends up punching him for calling him “just Brandon Walsh.” Jason’s wife Camille (Vanessa Lachey) talks to him about the incident and they reunion and how loved he is by fans.

 

Tori and Jennie are leaving the plane. Jennie tells Tori not to mention her soon to be ex-husband because she doesn’t want to be known as a spinster for having another divorce. This leads to a flashback of Jennie tossing her ex’s stuff into the pool and her daughter (Karis Cameron) schooling her on the drama.

 

The ladies check in at the reunion panel and aren’t recognized by the guy at the front desk (Riley Orr). Jennie gives her name and Kelly Taylor and he asks which it is. She cops an attitude and he calls her old. She threatens to report the place to Trip Advisor and Tori tells the front desk guy Jennie has low blood sugar.

 

Tori is nervous about seeing Brian and wants to freshen up before reuniting. However, it is too late and everyone has arrived. They stand around awkwardly and agree it is weird. However, they finally hug and Gabrielle and Jason joke about his “incident.”

 

Fans spot them and start screaming. Brian and Tori have an awkward moment of sorts and reminisce about their time on the show.

 

On the panel, which is moderated by Jason Kennedy, they answer questions, deal with awkward moments and word gets out about Jennie’s divorce. They are also joined via video chat by Shannen (Shannen Doherty). She promotes her work of rescuing animals and gets a standing ovation.

 

Later on, Jennie is upset about the attention Shannen got and her divorce being made public. They all drink and catch up on each other’s lives. Gabrielle talks about being a grandma  and shows off pictures.

 

They all discuss their families and how seemingly perfect their lives are. Except for Jennie, who goes to hit on some random guy in the pool (Christopher Russell). Tori tries to stop her, but Jennie assures her she is fine.

 

Nate calls Tori to say he got a job offer, but turned it down because it was beneath him. She hangs up on him and sees Brian, who is upset about his wife having to bribe his son to say hi to him. They go drink together and talk about his life. He thinks nobody misses him in the spotlight.

 

Gabrielle drinks at the bar and is hit on by a female fan.

 

Jason is texting his wife, who hopes he is using this reunion as image rehab.

 

Jennie flirts with the pool dude, but leaves when he calls her Kelly. She runs into Jason at the bar and they end up getting drunker and having sex.

 

Afterward, she rants to him about double standards and he says it sucks, but things aren’t exactly easy for him either. She storms out and reminds him of his wife…and how he will probably get away with this.

 

Tori and Brian are still drinking at the bar. She complains about being broke and he doesn’t get it because her dad produced the show. She sees her photo on a dog and chases after the fan, demanding compensation. She then gets the idea to steal the prom dress Donna wore on the show. Jennie, Ian, Jason and Brian think she is nuts and Tori screams about how everyone on the show owes her. She steals the dress and make sure it is streamed on Instagram.

 

Gabrielle is still talking to her fan, with whom she shares a kiss, and then ends up part of the dress thievery. Security tries to stop them, but they escape in a private jet.

 

Tori is in the dress and drunkenly says she loves them and the dress represents all they created together. She mentions Luke [Perry] and realizes they might not all be here forever.

 

Ian goes into the bathroom and his wife FaceTimes him accidentally…while she is having sex with another man. Ian is heartbroken. He takes his anger out on everyone and it leads to the entire group fighting. The plane lands and they see cops preparing to arrest them for the theft, which of course leads to the press reporting on it.

 

Shay finds Brian’s arrest hot. They prepare to have sex.

 

Ian comes home and tells Stacey he had to fight off a sweetheart in Cellblock C. She says her audition went well and then she spent the day in bed. He secretly looks at he prenup.

 

Gabrielle tells her husband she never spent the night in the clink. She is looking at baby Gabrielle and seems to be thinking of her female fan.

 

Camille talks to Jason about his time in jail and plans to use her PR skills to spin the story. He prepares to tell her about Jennie, but before he can, she tells him she is pregnant.

 

Brian makes lunch fro the kids and checks his phone, where he sees the arrest story trending. He calls his agent and says he is ready to work. However, it’s been awhile and he is willing to do guest stops. Some random kid is at a doorstep and then leaves.

 

Tori is worried about paying off the bail money when her kids begin watching “90210. “They recognize their mom and Aunt Jenni’ when Jennie comes over to apologize. They then get an idea to do the revival because Jennie doesn’t want Tori to do any more reality shows. Jennie is a bit hesitant….but agrees to it.

 

We also see Shannen leaving her animals.

 

The show ends with them watching Jason and Luke….and see a dedication to the late Luke Perry.
