1992 · 47 MIN · IMDB 6.6 · DIR. David Carson
Overview
Brandon joins the track team, bumping Steve from the sprint relay. Many of his teammates dislike Brandon because he wrote negative articles about the football team. Brandon considers quitting the paper because he is tired of tearing people apart. Several of the athletes are taking steroids to improve their performance. They ask Steve to participate in their ""program,"" which causes him to develop mood swings. Brandon and Andrea decide to conduct an investigation, and Kelly's friend Kyle provides them with details. The track coach cancels all practices until the steroid users come forward. The other guys suspect that Steve was Brandon's source, and threaten to beat him up unless he takes the rap. Brandon allows Brenda to drive his car, but she gets into an accident. The other driver claims to have developed whiplash, and files a lawsuit. Brenda foils her plans when she catches her dancing in her living room. Music: ""Dancing in the Street"" by The Mamas and the Papas (?)

00:17:37 Nobody from West Beverly
00:19:16 You want anything? Soda? Pie?

00:22:55 There's no secrets on this team, Walsh.
00:24:38 If that's Keifer, I'll just tell him
00:26:52 Although he did say it would be in the best interest
00:28:39 Whatever you want is okay with me.
00:31:00 Kyle, let's go.
00:32:59 and that really doesn't leave me with any choice but to...
00:34:30 Is it what you expected?
00:36:38 I can't go back on that now. Thanks a lot, Brandon.
00:39:03 Hey, little big man!
00:41:09 Turns out this "poor, defenseless woman"
00:42:55 Stay out of it, Connor. No, I'm in it, man!
00:44:51 I had a feeling.
