Girls on the Side

Kelly becomes depressed after making the cover of Seventeen, as she fears that she will never regain her past looks. Steve and Jackie try to convince her to continue her modeling career. Kelly has a chance meeting with Alison's girlfriend Dana, who gives her the brush-off. Kelly tries to visit Alison at the burn center, but she refuses to see her. Kelly talks to Dana's new girlfriend, who reveals that Alison dumped Dana because she is in love with Kelly. Alison calls Kelly and asks to see her after she is released from the hospital. Meanwhile, Ray returns to town to play at the After Dark, but his alcoholic mother, LuAnn, gets drunk before his first performance. David and Clare take her home, and she babbles about Ray's affair with Valerie. David and Clare confront them (Ray confesses to it, but Valerie naturally lies by denying it), but decide not to tell Donna to avoid hurting her feelings. Elsewhere, Charley grows tired of seeing Dylan moon over Kelly; he encourages him to make a move. Jesse is offered a clerkship in Boise. Andrea offers her support, although she is less than thrilled by the move. Jesse turns down the offer because he doesn't want to force Andrea to give up her dreams of medical school.
