The Guardian Angel and the School Bus
Ohmigod you guys this was the best concept episode ever. So it starts with the kids on a bus going to the Alvarado Street School for their yearly do-good-works event. (Note: when you move to LA after having watched lots of 90210 and someone mentions Alvarado Street, do not ask if it’s the same as the one in 90210. Although poor people do live over by Alvarado.) This is when all the kids are hating each other – Brandon and Ahhhhhhndrea have some stupid shit that nobody cares about, Brenda Kelly and Dylan are in their perpetual triangle, Steve is on thin ice at school after the legacy key problem, and David is all pissed that he’s an immature child and will be left behind when everyone graduates.
But they do not know that their school bus will be hit by a garbage truck and they will ALL BE KILLED – unless of course the guardian angel in training can protect them! It is a nail-biting race to the end of the episode to see if everyone can get along again (they can) and the angel can avoid the accident (she does in a killer special effects move that makes it look like the truck magically passes through the bus). Everyone lives and an angel gets its wings!
