Answer
Hi Andrea,

The episode you're thinking of is "Sibling Revelry", 10.11, which came right in the middle of season ten.  Kelly unofficially proposes to Dylan with the exchange:

K: “If you think there’s something between us, something unfinished, something that’s gonna keep us from being with other people, well, then I say we finish it!”
Dy: “We finish it.”
K: “Commit to it. To each other. Really commit, Dylan. House, dog, 2.2 kids …”
Dy: “All or nothing.”
K: “All or nothing. (beat) So we’re clear?”

I do think Dylan can give her the normal life you speak of, and that's what we're led to believe as the series closed.  The spinoff may have them apart now, but it's largely a way to explain the absence of Luke since he hasn't agreed to guest star.  Dylan's story in S10 was one of learning to trust himself in relationships again and, in the end, recommitting to his past love, Kelly.  

Thanks for the question!

All the best,

Mel

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.

Experience

Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
