Over time, Liam's stepfather became upset by Liam's tendency to skip school and steal credit cards. Before leaving, he suggested that he was curious as to what lied beneath her surface. Annie then chatted with Liam, who expressed interest in her once again, claiming that she wasn't as much of a good girl as she appeared to be. Following a party, Liam brought an intoxicated Dixon Wilson back to the Wilson home. Naomi, however, maintained an interest in him as she walked away. When Naomi confronted Liam regarding this, Liam stated that he wasn't interested in steady relationships. Annie chose to quietly decline the invitation. During a double date involving he, his cousin, Naomi and Annie Wilson, Liam privately asked Annie out. Liam became generally distant from Naomi in the coming days, appearing to only be interested in their physical relationship. Naomi then learned that the two had apparently reached an accord, and the guys rode home together. Shortly afterward, Liam apologised by revealing a personal secret of his own, stating that they were even. In the midst of helping Liam up, Ethan learned that he'd been deceived, as he'd merely been drinking tea and this prompted Ethan to punch Liam. Soon afterward, Liam hurt his leg during a fall. The two held conversation the next night, with Ethan revealing many personal feelings while believing he was under the influence of his drink. Later, Ethan heard a rumour that Liam had peyote, and threatened to reveal this to Matthews unless he shared it. During a private moment, however, Liam surprised Naomi by making out with her. Liam became dismissive and hostile when approached, prompting Ethan to reciprocate. During the construction, Naomi asked her ex-boyfriend Ethan Ward to question Liam about his romantic interest in her. Liam joined other students in a Habitat for Humanity project led by West Beverly teacher Ryan Matthews. The two then drove off, and ended the night by kissing before going their separate ways. Afterwards, Liam fought off a fellow racer who made unwelcome advances towards Naomi. He then offered to call her a cab, but she declined, and rode along with him during a race. Later that night, Naomi learned that Liam was involved in street racing. During a drive in his car, Liam explained that he'd largely been dodging school because he'd become bored with it. When the two actually sat down to study, however, it became clear that he was smarter than he'd let on. Sensing his resentment, she later apologised for what had happened with his parents, asking if they could start over. At school, Naomi offered to tutor Liam when a teacher requested a volunteer. She also learned that she'd accidentally tipped his parents off to this by sending him a gift. Later, Naomi soon saw him in one of her classes, and discovered that he'd been attempting to dodge school. The two entered into a mutually flirtatious relationship, though Naomi did not initially know of his status as a high school student. Liam, a student of West Beverly Hills High School, was introduced as a nice, good-looking, valiant and confident bartender who met Naomi Clark while she was eating a large hotdog. In the final episode, Liam finally reveals his true love for Annie and proposes to her and she accepted his proposal.
Liam hated Jeffrey from the beginning and pushed his mother to see what a terrible man he was, but she refused to, driving Liam out of the house. His family was extremely poor until his mother remarried a controlling, cheating man named Jeffrey. Charlie ran and blamed it on Liam, causing a major rift in their friendship. Charlie stole credit cards and got caught by their parents and the police. He and his half-brother, Charlie Selby, both suffered from the effects of their alcoholic abusive uncle. Liam had a pretty rocky childhood, his mother being a maid, and his father a (failing) recovering alcoholic.
