Season 5

A job transfer moves the Walsh family from small town Minnesota to glamour-capital Beverly Hills. Talk about a culture shock... Twins Brandon and Brenda attend West Beverly High, and find that priorities are different here than in farm country.

Andrea hands Brandon an assignment to write an editorial on being a transfer student at West Beverly and later bonds with a young student who is being bullied. Brandon befriends Dylan McKay, a loner with a bad-boy attitude.

Brenda feels the pressure of being the odd-man-out while shopping on Rodeo Drive with Kelly and Tiffany, and goes to the extreme to fit in with their group. The Walsh family decides to hire a maid.

Sheryl, Brandon's old girlfriend from Minneapolis, stays with the Walshes for the weekend. Sheryl seems obsessed with wealth and fame and takes a liking to Dylan and his Porsche.

Brandon decides to try out for the basketball team and is asked by Andrea to look into the rumor that the school recruits students from out-of-district schools in order to boost their stats.

When Steve gets an A in history - a class that everyone else has a hard time in because of a steep grading curve - Brandon studies with him and learns that Steve has been stealing exams before the test. Meanwhile, Brenda tries to catch Dylan's eye.
