Beach Blanket Brandon is the premiere of Season 2 of Beverly Hills, 90210.
Synopsis
School's out, and for Brandon, it's the beginning of a new job. But it also could be the beginning of the end for Brenda and Dylan. Brenda suspects she may be pregnant, and the results of a home pregnancy test are inconclusive. So she visits a gynaecologist — whose good news fails to cheer her up. Being sexually active, she finds, is not all to her liking.

PRODUCTION NOTES
- The reason for Brenda's pregnancy scare and the break-up of Brenda and Dylan was that advertisers for FOX complained that Brenda had sex for the first time and was happy about it. FOX had the writers create a negative consequence of Brenda having sex, which was never the writers' intention and a sexist double standard for Brenda vs. Brandon's first time having sex earlier in Season 1.[2]
