As this preview for the return of 90210 makes clear, there's only one place Max is headed: into bed with Naomi.

But will the lovable dork stick around for the long run? That's what a reader asked Michael Ausiello this week, prompting an intriguing reply from the columnist: Given what goes down in the finale between the unlikely lovebirds I’d say there’s a very good chance we’ll be seeing a lot of Max in Season 4.

What might this imply about events to come? A few guesses...

• Naomi gets pregnant.
• They get engaged.
• Ryan abandons his son, Jen dies and Naomi/Max are left in charge of Jack.
