Episode summary: Heidi is bummed when Lauren refuses to acknowledge her while the two are out at Goa. Lauren and Lo consider their future living arrangements. Audrina re-connects with Justin.
Recap: While packing up designer clothing items to be returned to the People's Revolution's New York office, Whitney asks Lauren whassup with Audrina lately. Lauren's like, "Dunno" 'cause she hasn't really talked to her in awhile, but is grimly aware that she and Heidi have been hanging out lately. She admits that it's kinda awkward 'cause she can't dictate to Audrina who she can and can't invite to her apartment - but at the same time doesn't like the idea of Heidi being in what is also her apartment. Whitney clucks sympathetically, then swiftly changes the subject to how thrilled she is that ever since People's Revolution became The Hills' new Teen Vogue, they get to work/chat/gossip together again.
Later at Hillside Villas, Lauren, Lo, and Audrina are discussing their plans to party at Goa. Lauren mentions that Stephanie might be there, and Lo cheekily wonders aloud if she's going to bring Heidi...and the three silently contemplate that not coincidental awkwardness.
Stephanie is at Heidi's apartment, helping Heidi select an outfit for a night at Goa. Heidi says she's looking forward to a fun girls' night out, then wonders if Lauren is going to be there...and says if she is, maybe this'll be the first time that Lauren doesn't treat her with open disdain. She adds that the bad blood between them is soooo early Season 3 and describes the whole situation as "old water under the bridge".
Lauren and her posse are partying at Goa when Stephanie and Heidi arrive. In an added twist, Stephanie glances across the room and notices that Justin - ack! - is also in the club and points him out to Heidi, and Heidi says she's just itchin' to break this news to Audrina - but is wary to approach her table on account of she's sitting next to Lauren. A few seconds later, Lauren and Lo leave the table to get drinks, so Heidi uses that as an opening to seat herself beside Audrina to inform her of the Justin sighting. Lauren, meanwhile, notices what's happening and is all 'the fuck is Heidi doing sitting at our table?' and sits beside Stephanie and asks her why in blazes she thought it was a good idea to bring Heidi along to their night out. When Stephanie mumbles a non-explanation, Heidi debates leaving - but then decides to stay when Justin shuffles over to say hey and seat himself between her and Audrina. Heidi greets Justin as if they're old friends and gabbles to him about how silly it is for her and Audrina to not be friends 'cause of a beef Lauren can't seem to let go of, and Lauren overhears her and snarls, "OMFG, I need to leave this table immediately." She gets up and heads toward the exit, telling Lo that she wants to go home now 'cause she simply can't bring herself to pretend it's normal to be sitting at a table with Heidi.

Heidi grumbles about her ongoing beef with Lauren to a disinterested Justin
..while Lauren anxiously eyes the nearest exit
The next day, Heidi grumbles to Stephanie that their girls' night out wasn't quite what she expected, and is bummed that Lauren is still clearly not OK with even being in the same club as her.
At Hillside Villas, Lauren tells Lo it's very inconvenient that the two of them live so far away from each other...and adds that her lease for this apartment is up soon and that it'd be sooooo fun if they all got a house together. Lo asks her if by they all she's including Audrina, and Lauren says she is - but admits that she's less than jazzed about the possibility that she might bring such undesirables as Heidi and/or Justin by the house. Lo concurs as she chucklingly replies, "That's not allowed."

"How are we going to react when Audrina brings home people we hate?"
"Make ew faces at them."
Audrina meets up with Justin at a restaurant called Republic, and he gushes over her cute leather ensemble and asks her if she misses riding on his motorcycle. She admits that she does, and is visibly pleased when he wanks her about how he hasn't had anyone on it since her. He updates her about his new place on the beach, and that he wants to do his damnedest to behave better now that he has his priorities straight...and Audrina tells him she's hanging out with Heidi again, but hates all of the subsequent drama surrounding their renewed friendship. Justin says it's always nice to re-connect with people, then asks her what she's doing later...and when she shrugs and is all, "Dunno", he grins and murmurs, "Uh oh." Ugh. My sentiments exactly.
"I promise to not belch in your face or grab other girls' boobs when I'm out with you."
"You've transformed into a keeper."
The next morning, Audrina tells Lauren she went out with Justin last night, and that he got hisself all cleaned up and didn't belch once. As Lauren digests that troubling development, Audrina adds insult to injury when she says she's also on solid footing with Heidi again, and that it feels great to have an old friend back in her life.
Heidi drops by Casa Stephanie, where she encounters Spencer doing his usual couch lounging. She tells him about her less than satisfying evening at Goa 'cause of how uncomfortable Lauren still is being around her, and Spencer says he has zero desire to talk about Lauren and/or anything that happens while she's out clubbing. He suggests she shut it and quietly wait for Stephanie to return home - but Heidi decides she'd rather leave...and as she's sashaying toward the door, Spencer remarks on how great she's looking.

"I had a terrible night clubbing 'cause Lauren 'dissed me."
"I'm going to put that in my couldn't give a shit bucket."
While dining out at The Spanish Kitchen, Lauren and Lo begin discussing their plans to move in together - just as Audrina arrives. They fill her in on their change-o-housing plans...and when Audrina says she's fairly lukewarm about the idea, Lo tells her that the social dynamic between the three of them will be different than when it was just her and Lauren, but just as fun [though, as it turns out, not so much].

Episode summary: Heidi is incensed when Spencer interrupts her girls' night out at S Bar. Lauren is offered a job at People's Revolution.
Recap: Heidi drops by Epic Records to lunch with Audrina in the lovely outdoor garden cafeteria. Heidi tells her it's sooooo nice to be able to hang out and talk, then adds, "I'm really, like, gaining myself again." She tells Audrina she wants to have a girls' night out - with no Spencer, obviously - and asks her if she'd like to come...and Audrina responds to the invitation by staring back at her mutely.
Lauren arrives at a very busy People's Revolution, which is bustling with prospective runway models. She's immediately put to work by Kelly, who orders her to help with casting by taking Polaroids of the models and matching the photos with their names.
Stephanie tells Spencer she's off to party at S Bar...and when she doesn't confirm whether or not Heidi is going with her, Spencer says he'll take that as a yes. After Stephanie leaves the apartment, he stares contemplatively into space.
Stephanie and Heidi arrive at S Bar and quickly locate Audrina and Chiara. Stephanie regales the gals with tales of Spencer squatting in her apartment, and they - Heidi included - seem greatly amused by his inability/unwillingness to lazily lounge on the couch all day inside his own living accommodations.
Over at People's Revolution, Lauren tells Whitney she's happy for her for having this dream job and wistfully says it'd be soooooo cool to work here...and Whitney points out that if she impresses Kelly with her efficiency, maybe she'll hire her. A few seconds later, Kelly ambles over and tells Lauren she'd like her to help out with the various shows tomorrow, then orders her to get a good night's sleep and show up tomorrow wearing an all black, non-boob-baring ensemble.

"I would like to work for you."
"And I would like to be prominently featured on The Hills, so done."
Over at S Bar, Heidi et. al. gabble about how super awesome it is to be single - just as Spencer and his friend Kevin arrive at the club. When Spencer starts chatting with a group of nubile young ladies, Heidi complains about how aggressive girls can be, and declares [as if it'd be worth the effort], "I will kill some b**** if she comes up to him." Heidi grows agitated when Spencer is witnessed doing shots with the ladies...and when he ambles over to where she's standing, she confronts him about his behavior. The two bicker about whether or not he's sassing her by publicly flirting with other women, blah blah...and Heidi tells him she's sooooo angry at him for making a fool of her during what was supposed to be a fun girls' night out.
The next morning, Audrina tells Lauren about Spencer's boorish antics at S Bar, and Lauren remarks on how weird it is that Heidi isn't even able to have a civil interaction with the guy she is (was?) engaged to. Audrina says it's surprising that a Chucky doll lookalike could find so many young ladies with whom to hold court at S Bar, and Lauren contorts her face into an expression of disgust and says he prolly paid them, then snarls, "No girl would willingly touch that scum." She then chuckles at the vehemence that just spilled out of her mouth and is all, "Oops! where did that come from?!", then says she doesn't have time to focus any more of her energy on a shitbag like Spencer, 'cause she has a busy day of model herding to get to.

"My unwavering disgust for Spencer never fails to surprise and amuse me."
"It's also going to make for some serious awkwardness when I start socializing with him and Heidi."
Lauren and Whitney arrive at Smashbox Studios to help Kelly with the rehearsal runway show and lock down the specific colors of the fancy lighting.
Over at Bolthouse, Heidi and Kimberly pretend to sort out something work-related before Kimberly asks her whassup with her glum aura. Heidi says she had a rough night, then tells her about how Spencer showed up at her girls' night out and drank shots with a coterie of fawning ladies. As Kimberly's all, "Wha-a-a-a?", Heidi wonders if he's over their coupling, but Kimberly points out that if he were over it, he wouldn't have created such a spectacle at S Bar. Heidi admits that she haaaated seeing her [ex?]fiancé in the company of other women, then rhetorically asks, "How can you love and hate someone so much at the same time?"
Later, Spencer calls Heidi to rehash the drama of the prior evening, and she suggests he swing by Bolthouse so that they can have one of their in-car tête-à-têtes.
Lauren and Whitney are backstage at one of the fashion shows People's Revolution is producing...and after the models are successfully herded, lined up, and sent out to the runway, Kelly applauds their organizational skills. Lauren gushes to Whitney about how much she loooooved working backstage at the event and gives her a thank you hug.
Heidi climbs into Spencer's car and irritably tells him that if he wants to be single again, he needs to let her know. A bewildered Spencer's all, "Wha-a-a?" and points out that she's the one who made him single when she insisted on this "relationship vacation" ... and Heidi argues that she simply wanted some space, which she didn't assume would translate to him hooking up with other women. Spencer counter-argues that talking to women in bars doesn't constitute hooking up, and adds that he doesn't think it's fair of her to expect him to hang in limbo until she gets around to deciding when their relationship vacation is officially over.

"I meekly protest."

"Just Be Careful"

Episode summary: Heidi runs into Audrina in a club and suggests they renew their friendship. Lauren drops by People's Revolution to visit Whitney, and is invited to help out during L.A. Fashion Week.

Episode summary: Heidi runs into Audrina in a club and suggests they renew their friendship. Lauren drops by People's Revolution to visit Whitney, and is invited to help out during L.A. Fashion Week.
Recap: While eating out at a cafe, Lauren tells Whitney that Spencer admonished Stephanie for attending her birthday party at S Bar last episode, and that his dickishness about it was so harsh that it made Stephanie burst into tears. Whitney points out that since Stephanie (presumably) had zero to do with sex tape-gate, she has no reason not to be nice to her...then promptly changes the subject to her recent New York trip to help out with the Sass & Bide fitting during the run-up to Fashion Week. She describes her assigned tasks of putting the models in proper order and announcing them as they hit the runway, and Lauren coos excitedly and says she'd looooove to be able to do fun stuff like that.
Over at People's Revolution, Kelly calls an impromptu staff meeting, and begins by barking at her staff to..
Kelly then asks Jessica (the L.A. publicist) what she's done regarding celebrity outreach and/or if she has any press scheduled for their clients with preview opportunities...and Jessica stares back at her blankly and is like, "Uh, no, no, and no..?", then weakly says she's been half-heartedly working on something or other. Whitney makes a helpful suggestion about reaching out to celebrities who have performed with someone I'm guessing is one of clients (?) ... and Kelly applauds her 'out of the box' problem solving abilities while simultaneously shooting Jessica the stink-eye.
Over at People's Revolution, Kelly calls an impromptu staff meeting, and begins by barking at her staff to..
- Be prepared to devote their entire lives to their People's Revolution job during upcoming L.A. Fashion Week
- Wear all black, non-boob-baring outfits
- Ensure that all piercings and tats are hidden from view

Whitney makes a helpful suggestion about reaching out to celebrities who have performed with someone I'm guessing is one of clients (?) ... and Kelly applauds her 'out of the box' problem solving abilities while simultaneously shooting Jessica the stink-eye.
"What the hell have you been doing for the last several weeks?"
"Define doing."
Lauren is sitting by herself in the Teen Vogue closet office when she decides to call Whitney to say hey. Whitney tells her she's sooooo busy gearing up for L.A. Fashion Week, glumly wishes they still worked together, then hastily gets off the phone when a styling emergency arises.
At Casa Stephanie, Heidi and Stephanie vow to indulge in a 'girls' night out' at least once a week. Heidi reminisces about how she used to go clubbing every night, and can't wait to get back into the nightlife scene. Later, the two arrive at a club called Vice...and after a few minutes, Heidi notices that Audrina, Chiara, and a couple of guys are sitting at a table across the room. Heidi reminds Stephanie that she was friends with Audrina before Lauren was friends with her, then figures that that entitles her to wander over and say hey. Heidi asks Audrina if she can sit down for a minute, then laments how hard this ongoing feud with Lauren has been on her...and, now that she's having problems with Spencer, she realizes how desperately she needs her gal pals back in her life. Audrina diplomatically calls it "a learning process" to figure out that you're supposed to keep your friendships intact while dating someone, and Heidi earnestly tells her that if she ever wants to hang out or go clubbing during a 'girls' night out', she should give her a call. After the two hug goodbye, Audrina tells Chiara it's somewhat encouraging that Heidi is making an effort to reconnect with her - but that she can't help but feel wary about the shit-storm this renewed friendship is likely to bring about.

After the two hug goodbye, Audrina tells Chiara it's somewhat encouraging that Heidi is making an effort to reconnect with her - but that she can't help but feel wary about the shit-storm this renewed friendship is likely to bring about.
"We should renew our friendship."
"Lauren isn't going to like that idea."
Heidi and Stephanie are shopping for decor items at a store called Room Service...and Heidi is gleeful about being able to pick out stuff for an apartment that no longer has unsightly graffiti art sprayed across her living room wall. She mentions that she left behind a few items at Lauren's apartment and would love to pick them up, preferably when Audrina is home alone. She adds that there's no reason for the two of them to not be friends - but Stephanie points out that since Audrina is under "Lauren's wing", she's likely going to do everything possible to not piss her off.
Lauren, Lo, and Whitney are working out together at the gym...and Whitney describes her new job at People's Revolution as waaaay more intense than anything she ever did at Teen Vogue. Lauren recalls meeting a very crotchety Kelly Cutrone during the Season 1 finale, and Whitney chucklingly says she recalls the panicked phone call she got from her afterwards...then dishes about how Kelly directed her ire at Jessica, the L.A. publicist, during a recent staff meeting, and that it was a scary sight to behold. She then suggests that Lauren drop by during her lunch break sometime so that she can see her new workplace.
At FIDM, Stephanie reports to Lauren that she and Heidi went to Vice last night, ran into Audrina, and that the two are cool after a heart-to-heart. Lauren reacts to that development by staring back at her with an expression of irked contemplation.
When Audrina returns home to Hillside Villas, Lauren comes right out and asks her if she talked to Heidi at Vice last night...and when Audrina confirms that she did, Lauren cautions her to be careful about resuming that friendship 'cause she wouldn't put it past her ex-bestie to want to hang with her (Audrina) just to piss her (Lauren) off. Audrina promises to be careful, but insists that she's only mildly tempted to go behind her back and consort with someone who was even tangentially associated with something as sleazy and friendship-ending as sex tape-gate.

"Did you, or did you not speak directly to Heidi at Vice last night?"
"I object to this intrusive line of questioning."
Lauren arrives at People's Revolution to lunch with Whitney - but Whitney says she doesn't have time for lunch after all, then asks her if she'd like to help catalogue a rack of clothing. As they're doing that, Emily (a co-owner of People's Revolution) wanders over and tells Lauren that they're always looking for extra help during Fashion Week, and Lauren says she's definitely intrigued by the prospect.
Heidi drops by Hillside Villas to visit with Audrina as she picks up the odds and ends she left at the apartment in Season 1. She says it's very awkward being here, and both agree that it's "crazy and random" that Lauren and Stephanie have become fast friends. A few minutes later, Heidi says she should prolly high-tail it outa here before Lauren comes home, then tells Audrina again that if she's ever interested in hanging out, she need only give her a call.
When Lauren returns home, Audrina dutifully reports that Heidi stopped by earlier to pick up the last of her stuff. Lauren's all 'the fuck?' and makes it clear how much she haaaaates the idea that Heidi was in her apartment, chillin' and chattin' as if everything were normal. Audrina mumbles about how it's "just weird" and that she doesn't know what more to say about the defrosting of this estranged friendship...and the two just exchange mute stares before the end credits start rolling.

"When Spencer Finds Out..."
Original airdate: 3/31/2008
Episode summary: Spencer and Heidi are peeved when they learn that Stephanie attended Lauren's birthday party at S Bar.

Episode summary: Spencer and Heidi are peeved when they learn that Stephanie attended Lauren's birthday party at S Bar.
Recap: Lauren invites Stephanie to her 'girls' night out' style birthday party at a club called S Bar...and when Stephanie reminds her that she's Spencer's sister and therefore prolly not the most desirable party guest among Spencer haters, Lauren says she's going to continue not holding that against her and would looooove for her to join her and her posse for a celebratory night on the town.
Spencer drops by Heidi's apartment to pick up his jellyfish tank and video game machines. He asks Heidi for clarification about whether or not they're still dating so he knows if he's free to date other women...and she shoots him a seriously? stink-eye and snarkishly tells him that if he's actually interesting in dating someone other than her, he should go ahead and do that. Spencer grumbles that she doesn't care about him hooking up with other women, and Heidi makes it clear that she's not remotely interested in dating anyone else...and that if he truly wants to jump back into the dating pool, they should probably break up. Spencer cheekily retorts, "I thought we were broken up", and Heidi wearily threatens to punch him in the face if he doesn't immediately stop talking.

"What would you say if I were to consider dating other women?"
"I'd say that you were cruisin' for a bruisin'."
Over at Hillside Villas, Lauren tells Lo that she invited Stephanie to her S Bar birthday party...and that it's more than likely to drive Spencer around the bend.
Stephanie returns home and is less than thrilled to see that Spencer has deposited his jellyfish tank and video game machines in the middle of her living room. She's all the fuck? and orders this stuff to be gone by tomorrow...then starts railing about the general aimlessness of his unemployed, homeless existence. Spencer informs her that he's officially launched Operation Win Heidi Back At Any Cost, but doesn't elaborate further 'cause he's worried she's going to blab about his grand plans to Lauren [as if she could possibly be interested in the inner workings of his relationship with Heidi]. He then orders his sister out of the living room, aka his personal space while he's squatting in her home, so he can lounge atop the couch and watch TV...and an incredulous Stephanie tells him that the jellyfish tank and video game machines better be out of her place by tomorrow. Or else.
Kimberly is working the front door of S Bar when Stephanie and her friend Roxy arrive for Lauren's party. Inside the club, Lauren is having a blast, blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, and dancing in her usual 'arms above the head' fashion. She warmly greets Stephanie and Roxy, then introduces them to Audrina and Lo, who are openly incredulous about how they're suddenly expected to socialize with Spencer's sister. They grumble their 'blood is always going to be thicker than water' concerns while sitting at a table across from where Lauren is laying it on thick to Stephanie about how awesome it is that she and Roxy are at her party. The three then yell, "Cheers!" to Audrina and Lo, who reluctantly return the happy woot.
The next day at Bolthouse, Kimberly dutifully reports to Heidi that Stephanie showed up as an invited guest to Lauren's birthday party at S Bar, and Heidi scrunches her face confusedly while murmuring, "That can't be right." Kimberly assures her it did, in fact, happen, and that she witnessed Stephanie sitting at Lauren's table for much of the evening. Heidi says she simply can't grasp Lauren's logic in shunning her while becoming friends with Spencer's own sister...and intends to ask Stephanie what in blazes is going on.

"I think you should know that Stephanie attended Lauren's birthday party."
"I don't recall giving either of them permission to socialize together."
Heidi phones Spencer to inform him that Stephanie attended Lauren's birthday party, and Spencer's all, "Wuh?? That has to be a joke." He says he can't believe this is happening, then mumbles about how Stephanie is "like Brody junior over here".
Lauren meets up with Brody for lunch and acknowledges how weird she was to him when she ran into him at Les Deux the other night...and he tells her his new girlfriend's name is Cora and that she'd really like her. Lauren says that she, on the other hand, doesn't have much of a love life these days - but, on the upside, is getting A's in her FIDM classes. She adds that Stephanie is in her computer class, and thus far has found her to be a nice girl. Brody says he knows Stephanie pretty well, and warns that she might have an ulterior motive for befriending her...and wouldn't put it past the Pratts if this budding friendship was all some sort of unguided sinister plot.
Spencer gives Stephanie the what for for attending Lauren's birthday party, and sarcastically asks her if she also plans to start hanging out with his Brody, aka his ex-bestie. Stephanie tells him that Lauren hasn't said a single unkind thing about him and/or Heidi - but an unmoved Spencer just stares at her in utter incredulity and says that he doesn't get how she doesn't get how disloyal she's being. Stephanie tears up and says she hopes to be the bridge that can make Heidi's/Lauren's friendship whole again and asks him why he insists on continuing on with this boresome feud, and Spencer dismissively accuses her of making herself cry 'cause of how guilty she feels about becoming friends with the enemy.

"You have to stop holding grudges against other Hills' castmates."
"It's like you don't even understand the basic premise of the show."
At FIDM, Stephanie tells Lauren that Spencer was a monumental jerk about her attending her birthday party, and that his cold admonishment made her cry. Lauren clucks sympathetically at the familial pressure she's currently under and assures her she did nothing wrong.
Stephanie drops by Heidi's apartment to further beat the dead horse that was her presence at Lauren's S Bar party. Heidi sullenly says she heard the news from Kimberly, and was thoroughly dismayed 'cause she considers them to be best friends and practically sisters. Stephanie tells her she knows how much she wants to be friends with Lauren again, then comes right out and asks her what she and Spencer did to Lauren that caused the seismic rift. Heidi snaps, "Nothing!" and says she's infuriated that she'd even think she were capable of spreading a sex tape rumor. She then urges caution about getting close to Lauren, 'cause one day she's your best friend, and then another...not so much.

Original airdate: 3/24/2008
Episode summary: Stephanie Pratt apologizes to Lauren for yelling at her in Opera. Whitney helps the designers of Sass & Bide for a fitting prior to their runway show at New York's Fashion Week.
Recap: Lauren is in her class at FIDM when the teacher starts a roll call, which includes the name Stephanie Pratt. As Lauren's all, "Wha-a-a?!", Stephanie rushes into the room and takes her seat, and is as shocked as Lauren to learn that - surprise! - they're both in the same computer class.
Whitney arrives at People's Revolution in New York just prior to Fashion Week and is quickly briefed by Kelly Cutrone about her duties for the day: stand around and be as helpful as possible during the Sass & Bide fitting. Whitney assures her new boss that she's willing to do whatever it takes to be a successful stylist helper (?) ... and a few seconds later, Kelly introduces her to Sarah Jane and Heidi, aka the Sass & Bide designers, and says they'll all likely be working late into the night.
Back at FIDM, Stephanie is texting Heidi about her Lauren sighting...and Heidi reads the message while lunching with Kimberly, calling the [non]coincidence "so crazy". She texts Stephanie back, jokingly urging her to say hi to Lauren, at the same time Stephanie is sneaking a peek over at Lauren, who's texting Audrina...who's at Epic Records and squealing to Chiara about how Lauren currently finds herself trapped in a classroom with Spencer's sister. Chiara chuckles, "Poor Lauren."
At the Sass & Bide fitting, Whitney offers the designers some particularly useful input about whether or not some scarily tight leather pants (on one of the models) could be in the 'ready to wear' category. Or some such thing.
At Hillside Villas, Lauren cackles with Audrina over the "random" coincidence of Stephanie Pratt being enrolled in the same FIDM computer class as her. Lauren says she'd have no issue if this were a bigger class in a lecture hall, as opposed to a small group of sixteen students - but then shrugs and says [that despite the MTV camera crew hoping to capture some juicy 'you know what you did!' type screaming matches] she just wants to get through the class with as little hostility and drama as possible.

"It's an unbelievable coincidence that Stephanie is in your computer class."
"Agreed. I too find the coincidence unbelievable."
The next day at FIDM, Stephanie ambles over to where Lauren is sitting and apologizes for her bitchitude during the A Night At the Opera episode, and Lauren says she too is sorry if she came off like a bitch. Stephanie sheepishly explains that she was [over]reacting to her brother and Heidi being upset from all the fallout of sex tape-gate, declines to further elaborate on the [now tiresome] feud, and acknowledges that she's well aware of what a complete horse's ass her brother can be. Lauren says she gets that she's protective of her brother and future sister-in-law - but didn't like being yelled at in a nightclub...however, greatly appreciates her sincere apology.
"I know full well what a malicious dickwad my brother has a tendency to be."
"Now don't go putting my words in your mouth."
Back in New York, the Sass & Bide team is primping and assembling the models for the fashion show. The designers make it a point to tell Kelly Cutrone that Whitney was extremely helpful last night and seemed to know her way around 'ready to wear' (or not) tight leather pants...while Whitney is getting instructions on how to line up the models in proper order and send them out to the runway. The show seems to run largely without a hitch...and afterwards, Kelly applauds Whitney for the great job she did, and promises that when they get back to L.A., her role will be expanded [though not really, 'cause she's well aware of the time commitments involved when filming for The Hills].
"My expertise of tight leather pants really paid off with Sass & Bide."
"You're a fashion phenom."
Heidi has enlisted Stephanie to help her paint her living room a deep green...and Heidi remarks on how this was the color of the apartment she first shared with Lauren. She then tells Stephanie she thinks it's HI-larious that she's in the same computer class as Lauren and jokes that they should become friends...and Stephanie's like, "Well, actually.." and tells her she did, in fact, apologize to Lauren for her boorish behavior at Opera and vowed henceforth to keep her nose out of the Heidi/Spencer/Lauren fracas. Heidi shoots her a troubled 'seriously?' look, then quietly resumes painting her living room wall.
While out at Lola's, Lauren, Audrina, and Lo discuss the interesting turn of events regarding Stephanie Pratt. When Audrina and Lo try to counsel Lauren to be wary of trusting Stephanie, Lauren insists that there's no real risk involved 'cause her plan is to simply not get into public arguments with the She-Pratt.
Heidi and Kimberly are tottering around town in their stilettos, discussing the awkwardness of Stephanie's budding friendship with Lauren. Heidi says she simply can't grasp how Lauren can be friends with Spencer's own sister while continuing to shun her...and Kimberly somehow refrains from pointing out that, to anyone's knowledge, Stephanie had nothing to do with the crux of Lauren's beef with her and Spencer: sex tape-gate.
While eating takeout, Spencer grumbles at Stephanie that since she's about to go clubbing with Brody and his posse and attends a FIDM class with Lauren, he can no longer count on her to be on his side. Stephanie insists she's not a disloyal sister, but then calls him immature, lame, and a homeless loser...and expresses incredulousness that a hottie like Heidi would even contemplate coupling with him. Spencer's just like, "La la la...I don't even hear you anymore" and says that, from this point on, he's firmly keeping his mouth shut around her.

"You're the lamest loser in the history of lame losers."
"You're still talking...despite all of my efforts to tune you out."
At FIDM the next day, Lauren and Stephanie lunch outside and chat about their computer class...and also how annoying it is for Stephanie to be saddled with a brother who's squatting in her apartment. She tells Lauren that Spencer no longer trusts her because of their budding friendship...and Lauren clucks sympathetically, but points out that it's silly to penalize her for being a good person. Lauren expresses some half-hearted worry that she's going to get Stephanie in trouble for hanging out with her, and Stephanie agrees that, yep, when Spencer finds out that they're fast becoming friends, it ain't going to be pretty.

Episode summary: Whitney scores an interview with Kelly Cutrone for a job at People's Revolution. Lauren is bitchy to Brody when she runs into him at Les Deux.
Recap: Lauren bursts into her apartment - newly returned from Paris! - and gives Audrina a happy hello hug. She says she's still jet lagged, didn't have a whole lot of downtime throughout the week, but looooooooved getting out of L.A. for a few days. She adds that she now fully realizes there's guys other than Brody in the world and is over the sudden collapse of their pretend romance. She then changes the subject and reports that Whitney no longer wants to work for Teen Vogue.
Whitney meets with Lisa Love to discuss her career aspirations, namely her passion for stylingk. Lisa tells her she doesn't currently have this type of position available at Teen Vogue...and so gives her her blessing to pursue an opportunity with the woman who's about to become her Hills mentor-in-the-fashion-world replacement: Kelly Cutrone at People's Revolution.

Lisa tells her she doesn't currently have this type of position available at Teen Vogue...and so gives her her blessing to pursue an opportunity with the woman who's about to become her Hills mentor-in-the-fashion-world replacement: Kelly Cutrone at People's Revolution.
"I've asked Kelly Cutrone to be the new Hills fashion industry mentor."
"In that case, I guess I'm a shoo-in for my new stylingk job at People's Revolution."
Over at Bolthouse, Heidi tells Kimberly she's still trying to sort through whatever contrived dysfunction is escalating between herself and Spencer...and, to that end, has asked him to move out. She admits that it'll be heart-wrenching to watch him pack up his computer and Xbox games, but firmly believes it's the right thing for both of them. Kimberly asks her if either of them plan to see other people during the separation, but Heidi looks aghast at the prospect and says she can't even fathom getting into the laughable predicament of competing with other women for the affection of a malevolent Chucky doll lookalike.
Spencer tells Stephanie about his surprise trip to Crested Butte, and she says that by the sound of it, it was an utter disaster for him. Spencer laments how deeply annoyed he is at Heidi for asking him to move out, and says had he known this was going to happen he never would have asked her to move in with him in the first place. He tells Stephanie she's welcome to hang out with Heidi during their trial separation - but not at her (Stephanie's) apartment, given that that's where he's going to be squatting, and he doesn't want Heidi to accuse him of not giving her her space. He then mumbles about how much he hates the thought of re-entering the dating pool, but nevertheless is pretending to consider it.
Over in the Teen Vogue closet office, Whitney tells Lauren that Lisa was supportive of her decision to move on from the magazine...and that it's given her a boost of confidence for her upcoming job interview with Kelly Cutrone. Lauren says she's happy for her - but also a bit sad, 'cause she hasn't known this faux internship without her.
The next day, Whitney arrives at People's Revolution for her job interview...and as she waits for Kelly Cutrone to present herself, she can hear her snarling about something or other from her office. A few seconds later, Kelly - in all of her unfiltered glory - enters the area, introduces herself to Whitney, and gives her a brief description of her company...which apparently spends about 85% of its time and resources on styling. Whitney makes her case for why she's the ideal candidate by describing herself as a potential asset when it comes to styling models during photoshoots, for their look books, and in preparation of runway shows. Kelly says she's impressed enough by Lisa Love's strong recommendation that she's totes willing to take a leap of faith and hire her [though part time so that it doesn't interfere too much with her Hills filming schedule] - but warns, "You're basically making a deal with the devil." When Whitney's all, "Wuh? Why would you say such an ominous thing?", Kelly explains that by taking a job with People's Revolution she'll be giving up her life - but in exchange will get a whole new one.

"I want to come work for you."
"Welcome to hell."
While out for lunch, Stephanie strongly hints to Heidi that Spencer might want to date other people...and Heidi's all, "Wha-a-a-a?!" and reiterates that they're not broken up, merely temporarily separating. Stephanie shrugs and tells her that people do crazy things when they're mad...and Heidi scrunches her face quizzically while insisting that she really does love the dumb loafer.
Over at Hillside Villas, Lauren and Audrina plan a night out at Les Deux. Audrina warns that Brody might show up with his new gal - but then the two agree to just go out and have fun like the 'fully single, ready-to-mingle' gals that they are.
Hours later, Lauren and Audrina are partying at Les Deux...and when Brody and Frankie arrive, Lauren hugs Frankie hello - but pointedly ignores Brody as he awaits his hug. When Brody's all, "Whassup with you snubbing me?", Lauren responds by passive-aggressively asking, "Where's your girlfriend?" ... and Brody acts all confused about what she's talking about, then inquires about her Paris boyfriend. He calls her sudden hostility ridiculous and gets so irked that he announces he's outa here...and when Frankie chides Lauren for her rude bitchitude, she retorts that she really doesn't feel like being nice right now.
While eating out the next day, Lauren tells Lo about Whitney's new job at People's Revolution...and when Lo asks her why she seems so glum, she says it was really awkward seeing Brody last night, even without his new girlfriend in tow. She says that somehow Brody always makes her feel as if she isn't good enough, and Lo calls that poppycock and advises her to work on finding a nice guy who isn't Brody.
Spencer is packing up his stuff, while Heidi supervises and reminds him that they're not actually separating in the 'broken up' sense. The two haggle over who owns what books, Xboxes, and television sets...and when Spencer is all packed up, he wearily says, "Enjoy your space" and heads out, while Heidi poutishly stares after him.

"You don't plan to date anyone else, do you?"
"Depends on how successful I am in fighting off the ladies once word of our separation hits the rumor mill."
Whitney packs up her stuff from her Teen Vogue workstation and tells Lauren she's feeling happy, excited, nervous, and a little sad that they're no longer going to be seeing each other every day. The two joke about having to maintain a long distance relationship, then reminisce about the pilot episode, when Heidi et. al. crashed Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood party. Whitney jokes that they should have known then that she was bad news, then gives Lauren a goodbye hug as the two exchange I love yous.
Spencer puts his stuff in the trunk of his car and drives off, while Heidi continues to stare despondently into space.
Whitney is carrying her box of stuff to her car, while Lauren stares sadly at her friend's now vacant workstation.

"Salut à Paris!"
"Paris Changes Everything"
Original airdate: 3/17/2008
Episode summary: Lauren and Whitney spend a week carrying out trivial tasks for the Crillon Ball in Paris. Spencer surprises Heidi during a family visit in Crested Butte, but she tells him she needs space and quickly sends him packing.
Original airdate: 3/17/2008
Episode summary: Lauren and Whitney spend a week carrying out trivial tasks for the Crillon Ball in Paris. Spencer surprises Heidi during a family visit in Crested Butte, but she tells him she needs space and quickly sends him packing.
Recap: Lauren and Whitney arrive in Paris and are promptly greeted by a hot local named Stephane, who ends up being their personal driver for the week. As the gals climb into their limo, Stephane hands them an itinerary that specifies various tasks in the order in which they're to be completed...and when Lauren and Whitney decide to bypass the order and pick up their ballgowns first - as opposed to retrieving the shoes needed for a photoshoot first thing in the morning - Stephane scrunches his handsome face concernedly.
Across the pond in Crested Butte (Colorado), Heidi [whose lips are looking noticeably poutier than before the hiatus] is enjoying a day of downhill skiing with her mom, Darlene. The two enter a cafe and order some hot cocoa, and Heidi says she's been thinking a lot about her relationship with Spencer...and Darlene strongly suggests she think less about that Chucky doll lookalike and more about how she can improve herself and determine what she wants out of life.

The two enter a cafe and order some hot cocoa, and Heidi says she's been thinking a lot about her relationship with Spencer...and Darlene strongly suggests she think less about that Chucky doll lookalike and more about how she can improve herself and determine what she wants out of life.
"I recommend that you spend a lot of time on self improvement."
"Duh. Why do you think I got my lips plumped?"
Lauren and Whitney arrive at Alberta Ferretti to pick up their ballgowns, then rush back to the limo and ask Stephane to help them cross item #1 off their list: pick up the shoes for the photoshoot from a store named Collette. They get slightly panicked when the store is already closed by the time they get there, then make a plan to return first thing in the morning. Whitney says, in hindsight, they probably should have gotten the shoes first - but figured that since they literally just got off the plane and are spending the week in Paris to function more as reality stars than Teen Vogue staff, someone actually employed by the magazine would, no doubt, have retrieved the shoes prior to now if the errand was truly that important.
Stephanie stops by Spencer's apartment, which is in a terrible state of disarray now that Heidi's not around to do the house cleaning. Stephanie's all, "Wuh?" when she learns that Heidi left town to visit her family in Colorado, and tells Spencer that this development wouldn't be such a bad sign for him if Heidi's parents didn't regard him as a moronic halfwit. Spencer mulls over the idea of jetting to Crested Butte to woo his beloved back to L.A. - but Stephanie advises him to do the opposite of what his generally horrible instincts are currently telling him to do.
The next morning - at Le Grand Hotel in Paris (!) - Lauren and Whitney look over their itinerary/to do list and agree to instruct Stephane to get them to Collette asap to pick up the shoes, and then hightail it over to the Crillon Hotel for the photoshoot.
Spencer lands in Crested Butte, rents an SUV, and arrives at Casa Egelhoff, much to the visible dismay of Heidi's step-dad, Tim. He's all, "What the heck?" and tells Spencer he could/should have phoned prior to showing up announced, so Spencer explains that Heidi isn't taking his calls right now. Tim says he's mildly OK with him being part of the picture, as long as he fully grasps that, within the Egelhoff orbit, Heidi is always going to be their priority. When Spencer reacts to that by just staring mutely into space, Tim sighs and says he supposes it'd be OK for him to wait inside the house until Heidi and Darlene return from their ski day.
Stephanie stops by Spencer's apartment, which is in a terrible state of disarray now that Heidi's not around to do the house cleaning. Stephanie's all, "Wuh?" when she learns that Heidi left town to visit her family in Colorado, and tells Spencer that this development wouldn't be such a bad sign for him if Heidi's parents didn't regard him as a moronic halfwit.

"I'm very dismayed."
"And I'm being very 'dissed."
Lauren and Whitney arrive at the Crillon Hotel, deliver the Collette shoes...and then check in with Kimball, who assigns Lauren to help out in the hair and makeup area, while Whitney is to jot down any interesting quotes and anecdotes about the models/debutantes. Whitney makes kind of a yeech face at that task, while Lauren slips away to call Audrina to see whassup in L.A. ... and learns that Brody was spotted at Les Deux with a woman he's telling everyone is his girlfriend. Lauren reports this "troubling" development to Whitney, who can't seem to keep herself from openly chuckling about how it took a mere two days for Brody to move on from their pretend romance...then hastily points out to Lauren that Paris is full of guys who are très cooler than Brody.
"Brody's steppin' out on me with an unidentified gal."
"I probably shouldn't be as amused by that as I appear to be."
Under the watchful glare of Tim's disdain, Spencer is fiddling with his phone when Heidi and her mom finally return home from skiing...and Heidi pretends to be shocked to see him [and the MTV camera crew] camped out in her living room. As Spencer hands Heidi a bouquet of roses, she asks him what the hell he's doing here, and makes it clear that she's not at all happy about this unexpected pop-in.
Lauren and Whitney meet up at a club with a French rock band they apparently met (off camera) in L.A. The guitarist (Matthias) tells his bandmates on the down low that he thinks Lauren is cute...then asks Lauren, who's sitting across the table, if she's seen the Eiffel Tower yet. She says she hasn't, so he suggests they grab a bottle of champagne and head over there now...and a few minutes later, Lauren, Whitney and the French band are all standing under the iconic landmark, toasting it with a loud, "Cheers!"
The next day at Le Grand Hotel, Matthias calls Lauren to invite her and Whitney out to a fancy club called Neo that evening. Lauren mulls over the wardrobe she brought to Paris, and realizes that - for some unearthly reason - she mostly just brought pencil skirts in lieu of something appropriate for a formal night out on the town. Whitney laughingly points out that they always have their ballgowns, and Lauren contemplatively stares over at her ballgown and says she knows of a foolproof way to shorten the skirt by sewing a running stitch along the hemline. Whitney reminds her that she has to wear this gown to the Crillon Ball tomorrow and makes it clear that she thinks this is a very bad idea - but Lauren breezily assures her it'll be fine [which we can all assume means a problem is in store].
Heidi and her parents are dining at Timberline restaurant, and Spencer's presence is making for a tension-filled meal. Heidi raises her glass for a toast, and makes it a point to limit her praise to her loving and supportive parents...while Spencer sits across from her at the table, grinning like an idiot. Heidi asks her mom to reiterate what she was saying earlier in the episode about respecting a person's space, so Darlene tells Spencer that Heidi wants to work on some [desperately needed] self-improvement and is hoping he's not averse to giving her some breathing room. Spencer says he's A-OK with whatever Heidi needs, apologizes for showing up in Crested Butte unannounced, and assures the Egelhoffs that he fully intends to treat Heidi with the respect she deserves...all while Tim is staring over at him with a look of unveiled scorn. LOL.
Lauren and Whitney arrive at Neo and once again meet up with the French band. An escort for the Crillon Ball debutantes (Edoardo) decides he too wants to be featured on The Hills Goes to Paris...and when he arrives at the club, he chit-chats at length with Lauren, much to the irritation of Matthias. After glaring at Edoardo for several minutes, Matthias asks Lauren if this dork is her new best friend, but she emphatically says, "Nope, I'm single" ... then says she's very sad to have to leave Paris without having had a chance to see very much of the city. As the evening comes to a close, Edoardo hugs and kisses Lauren goodbye...and Matthias pouts and glares at him some more before running out of the club after Lauren to make hasty plans for one last rendezvous tomorrow night.

"This is Edoardo, who seems really intent on making it into a scene of this American reality show."
"Sacré bleu!"
Back at Le Grand Hotel, Whitney remarks on the general weirdness of Edoardo, then laments the lack of styling she was allowed to do at today's photoshoot. Lauren, meanwhile, is busily removing the running stitch from her ballgown when she notices unsightly brown stains all over the fabric. She's all 'the fuck?!' and insists that the stains weren't there last night...and upon further investigation realizes that it was her hot curling iron that burned various parts of the dress. Whitney retrieves the business card she got from the sales guy at Alberta Ferretti and calls him to inquire about getting a replacement ballgown for one that has an unspecified stain on it...and when he's seemingly dickish about how this isn't his problem, Whitney diplomatically replies that she'd appreciate it greatly if he could just be a damn mensch and help them out. He tells her he just happens to have a spare ballgown in Lauren's size laying around - but that she must come by the store pronto...or she can attend the Crillon Ball dressed in her stained rag of a ruined dress for all he cares.
While en route to Alberta Ferretti, a sheepish Lauren implores Whitney not to mention this mishap to the ever-uptight Kimball. When Stephane pulls up to the store, Lauren jumps out of the car, retrieves her replacement gown, and promises the sales guy she'll do her best to not ruin this one.
Over a cup of hot tea at the Crested Butte Brewery, Heidi asks Spencer when he plans to leave Colorado, and he's like, "I can't get outa here soon enough" and adds that he totally regrets making the trip. The two nonsensically bicker about why they've been bickering so much lately, blah blah...until Heidi snappishly lays out the conditions of them moving ahead (or not) with their unholy coupling:

- She wants her whole life back [that's 100% on you, Heidi]
- She wants her friends back [kinda depends on how eager your friends are to welcome you back into the friend fold]
- She wants him to [pretend to] move out
"You need to go back to L.A., like yesterday."
"Believe me, there isn't a plane that could fly me there fast enough."
Lauren and Whitney arrive at the Crillon Ball and get their latest superfluous assignments from Kimball. Whitney is instructed to hold up signs specifying which debutante is wearing which designer...and looks less than thrilled to be doing this type of low level grunt work.
Later, Kimball asks Whitney how she thinks the ball is going and whether or not she's enjoyed carrying out the downright silly tasks he's been assigning her during this Paris episode. She tells him how much she looooooves being part of all of the fashion and excitement and is grateful for her time at Teen Vogue - but would really prefer to be more directly involved with the stylingk aspect of the fashion industry. Kimball, in his usual haughty-contemptuous manner, says it's fairly obvious how lackluster she's been about the trivialness of her role during the Crillon Ball, and that she should feel free to go elsewhere to pursue her passion while simultaneously filming more Hills episodes.

"I'm interested in filming a Hills storyline about entering the world of stylingk."
"Seems fitting. Oops, I punned."
When the Crillon Ball wraps up, Matthias offers to give Lauren a tour of Paris on his Vespa, so she gathers the billowy skirt of her ballgown and climbs onto the bike behind him. They ride along the Seine and past the Eiffel Tower...and later drops her off at Le Grand Hotel and blows her one last kiss.
The next morning, Whitney tells Lauren she's had an awakening about wanting to do more than pretend office work in the Teen Vogue closet office and is looking to venture into the stylingk side of the fashion world, capping off her life decision by saying, "It's kind of, I think, my time. You know?"
Spencer bids Heidi adieu, and she says she half-heartedly appreciates him making the effort to fly to Colorado to woo her back - but makes it clear that she's going to need more time to ponder their situation. She promises to call him as soon as she returns to L.A.
Lauren and Whitney are ready to head to the airport...and they agree that while it was soooo cool to attend the Crillon Ball, it's definitely time to get this reality show back to America.
Spencer hugs Heidi goodbye, then drives off...and a sad looking Heidi stares after his SUV rental.
Lauren and Whitney look visibly pensive as Stephane transports them to Charles De Gaulle Airport.

Heidi wears her saddest of sad faces as she puts the brakes on wedding planning
"When One Door Closes"
Original airdate: 12/10/2007
Episode summary: Whitney and Lauren learn they're being sent by Teen Vogue to Paris to attend the Crillon Ball. Heidi opts for space in her relationship with Spencer and heads to Colorado for some contemplative family time.
Original airdate: 12/10/2007
Episode summary: Whitney and Lauren learn they're being sent by Teen Vogue to Paris to attend the Crillon Ball. Heidi opts for space in her relationship with Spencer and heads to Colorado for some contemplative family time.
Recap: Lisa Love summons Whitney into her office, where she and Kimball (a humorless senior editor at Teen Vogue) are waiting to give her some exciting news: she's being dispatched to Paris to help out with the Crillon Ball. Whitney's all, "Yippee!" and asks if Lauren too will be invited to go, but Lisa coolly replies, "I think Lauren had her chance to go to Paris."
Over at Bolthouse, Heidi tells Kimberly that she got into yet another [contrived] argument with Spencer about wedding planning...and because Stephanie was directed by the producers to stick her nose in their bidness, Spencer is under the impression that she now has cold feet and may no longer even want to marry a malevolent Chucky doll lookalike. Heidi says she thinks they should devote their energy to strengthening their relationship as opposed to wedding planning, and Kimberly concurs and suggests they also try to get to the root of the problem. Heidi scrunches her face in frustration as she says, "I feel like I'm in a relationship with a five year old", complains that she gave up everything to be with her man-child of a fiancé, and pronounces that she really needs some breathing room, pronto.
In the Teen Vogue closet office, Whitney informs Lauren that she's being sent to Paris...and when a startled Lauren's all, "Wuh? Again?", Whitney explains that she's being tasked with helping Kimball carry out various trivial assignments during the Crillon Ball. A hopeful looking Lauren asks if, by chance, they're planning to send anyone else (e.g. her) - but Whitney says she doesn't think so, then adds that it sucks 'cause she'd looooooove for them to share a Paris experience. Lauren regrets passing on the opportunity to go to Paris in Season 1 and wonders aloud when she'll ever have the chance to go again - despite her, by this time, being rich enough from her Hills' pay checks to book a European vacation whenever she can get a break from filming - and murmurs, "Stoopid Jason."

"Teen Vogue is sending me to Paris!"
"Are there plans to also send a faux, part-time intern?"
Spencer is glumly sitting in an outdoor cafe when Stephanie joins him for a chat regarding the latest wedding planning argument he had with Heidi. Stephanie just shakes her head incredulously and advises him to get in touch with his fiancée asap and do his best to at least give her the impression that he's still interested in being in a relationship with her.
Audrina returns home, finds Lauren cutting stuff out of magazines for a college assignment, and asks whassup with her downbeat aura...so Lauren tells her that Teen Vogue is sending Whitney - and not her - to Paris for the Crillon Ball. She adds that she's not resentful, 'cause in Season 1 she turned down the offer to jet to Paris for a very frivolous reason and therefore can't expect Lisa Love to ever make her a second offer. Audrina clucks sympathetically and says it sucks, regardless.
Spencer arrives at Bolthouse to talk to Heidi - but he's intercepted by Kimberley, who can't keep herself from smiling as she informs him that Heidi left...and that she has no idea where she went or even if she's coming back today. As Spencer digests that troubling tidbit, Kimberley urges him to call Heidi...and he mulls that over before asking Kimberly to pass along the message that he stopped by. As he dejectedly shuffles off, the camera pans over to Heidi, who's in her office at Bolthouse with an expression of contemplative glumness etched across her face.

"Heidi told me to tell you that she's currently in an undisclosed location."
"I can pretend to buy that."
In the Teen Vogue closet office, Whitney gets a call asking her to send Lauren up to Lisa Love's office asap.
Lisa Love informs Lauren that since Kimball is suddenly [pretend] overwhelmed with everything that needs doing for the Crillon Ball, it's been decreed that both she and Whitney need to be jetted to Paris to film a special, hour-long The Hills Goes to Paris! extravaganza for when the second half of Season 3 begins airing. Lauren beams happily as Lisa Love waxes on about how Paris is the most magical, sophisticated city in the world...and a few seconds later, Lauren skips back to the closet office to announce the good news to Whitney, who woots happily at this [mostly predictable] turn of events.

"We're sending you to Paris, despite you snubbing the offer in Season 1."
"Hurray!"
While dining with Brody at The Foundry, Lauren gabbles about her upcoming trip to Paris...and that despite how excited she is about the trip, she's going to miss him. Brody says he's a bit sad that she's leaving, so she reminds him that she's really nothing more than his single friend leaving town for a week and that there are lots of single people in L.A. Brody points out that Paris too has lots of single people, then blurts out, "So, you really want to find a boyfriend, is that what it is?", and Lauren contorts her face into a the fuck? expression and snaps, "Where did that come from?" Brody just kind of shrugs and says he has a long and painful track record when it comes to breakups, so Lauren points out that many relationships come to an end - but that he should aspire to find someone he enjoys being with, and who he's proud to officially label his girlfriend.
Heidi is packing a suitcase when Spencer finally returns home. She informs him that she's off to Colorado to visit her family, primarily 'cause she needs time and space to think about whether or not their wedding should move forward any time soon. Spencer insists that he already knows what he wants, but she tears up and croaks, "I don't know what else to do." He throws in the towel on further half-heartedly convincing her to stay, and gives her a goodbye hug before sadly exiting the apartment.
Lauren is packing two large suitcases - filled with many, many pairs of shoes - for her Paris trip while practicing her limited French on Audrina, who reminds her to not forget her passport (!). Lauren eventually zips up her suitcases and heads out, where Brody is waiting in front of her building to bid her adieu. He puts her luggage into the trunk of her limo, then hugs her goodbye and gives her a full on lip kiss before wishing her a safe flight. Lauren climbs into the car...and as it drives off, he stares wistfully after her.

Episode summary: Lauren is bummed when Brody leaves her Halloween party early. Heidi and Spencer continue to clash over their wedding planning. Audrina starts dating an Australian named Corey.
Recap: Lauren is at a restaurant with Brody, who's brazenly checking out every attractive woman who ambles past their table. He asks Lauren if she's talked to Jen Bunney lately...and she says she has, and that Jen is coming to her Halloween party. She jokes about how the two of them can hang out again, then gets visibly peeved when he continues to ogle women.
The next day in the Teen Vogue closet office, Lauren chats with Whitney about her upcoming Halloween party. She says that Audrina has invited Justin's replacement to attend, and clarifies that Brody and Frankie (as opposed to her and Brody) will be dressing up as a distinct twosome. She then says she's not sure exactly what's going on with Brody, who she considers a good guy but has a roving eye. Whitney agrees that he's a shameless playboy and tells Lauren she doesn't need to be another notch on his bedpost...even though she can sense a lot of chemistry between them whenever she's in their presence.
Heidi summons Stephanie over to her apartment to gripe about her latest wedding planning argument with Spencer, who once again stormed out and stayed away all night. She laments how much all of this contrived sparring is tearing them apart, wonders aloud if they should postpone the wedding, and asks Stephanie not to mention any of this to Spencer. Stephanie's like, "Of course" ... and by of course she means that naturally she and the MTV camera crew are going to track Spencer down asap so that she can be filmed blabbing to her brother everything they just talked about.

"Please don't tell Spencer that we had this conversation."
"I will translate that to mean I should do the exact opposite."
Hillside Villas Halloween party! Lauren is decked out as a cute flapper, while Brody and Frankie show up as Batman and Robin - which Whitney jokes seems more like a Siegfried & Roy coupling. LOL. A few seconds later, Audrina's date Corey, who's dressed up as a sailor, arrives and is introduced to The Hills gang. After much drinking and party game playing, Brody and Frankie bid Lauren adieu 'cause they're off to another party...and as they depart, Lauren makes a show of letting out a long, disappointed sigh.
The next morning, Audrina and Lauren clean up after the party and agree that it was kind of a bummer that Brody and Frankie left so early. Lauren then changes the subject to Corey and says he seems like a great guy, and that she appreciates the way he made an effort to talk to all of the partygoers.
Stephanie accompanies Spencer to a paper store to pick up the Save the Date cards Heidi had ordered. Stephanie then drops the bombshell that Heidi was really freaked out by their most recent argument and is mulling over whether or not they should even be getting married right now. Spencer's all, "Wha-a-a-a?" and decides to scrap plans to pick up the Save the Date cards and instead expend his energy clearing the air with his beloved.
Audrina and Corey go out for dinner at Katana, where they chat about Australia and their mutual desire to go snowboarding sometime. As they finish up their dinner, Corey asks her what she wants to do next, then kind of winks when he suggests, "Go home?" and Audrina just stares back at him with an inscrutable blank stare.

"So, your place or mine?"
While dining out at a fancy restaurant, Lo apologizes to Lauren for missing the Halloween party on account of her midterms, and Lauren's all, "Whaddya gonna do?" and tells her that it kinda sucked that Brody and Frankie left her party so early. Lo asks her if she wants to be more than friends with Brody, and Lauren pretends to consider that possibility and says that what she'd like to have happen is for Brody to not want to see or ogle other girls and direct all of his non-platonic affection onto her.
The next day at Hillside Villas, Audrina tells Lauren that her date with Corey went well...and that she'd gotten so used to Justin's assholery that she's somewhat weirded out by how nicely she's being treated by her new love interest. Lauren wants more details - like, did they kiss...and, if so, was it a passionate type smooch? Audrina admits that they did kiss, which was nice after being with Justin, who doesn't like kissing, practicing personal hygiene, or behaving in public like a reasonably mature adult. Lauren amusedly summarizes why Corey is a definite upgrade from the Disheveled Dimwit:
Heidi asks Spencer why he seems to glum, so he asks her what the status of their wedding plans are, then explains that Stephanie stopped him from buying Save the Date cards for a wedding she assumes is on hold. Heidi says it's really none of Stephanie's business, to which Spencer points out that she made it her business when she called her over to use her as a sounding board to air their contrived pre-wedding woes. Heidi says she's increasingly miffed that he doesn't seem to want a big wedding, knowing full well that her heart is set on hosting a grand affair with lots of friends and family in attendance. She then reminds him that he was the one who pushed her to move in with him, hastily proposed marriage, and created a situation so toxic that she had little choice but to give up everything for their relationship. An indignant Spencer's all, "Wha-a-a-a?!" and says that he too has given up hanging with his homies...and bitches and moans about how he has sacrificed everything to be home with her 24/7. He then gets so fed up with the conversation that he makes a beeline towards the door...and Heidi yells, "If you leave, don't come back!" and throws a book at the door [though too late to bean him on the back of the head].

"I gave up all my friends to be in this relationship."
"And I gave up every scrap of dignity I ever had when I was cast as the villain of this reality show."
Lauren and Brody arrive at Off Vine for a fancy dinner out and begin their date discussing Audrina and her new, non-Justin-esque fella. Lauren says that so far she likes Corey and hopes that Audrina will be strong enough to permanently stay away from Justin. She adds that sometimes a particular guy isn't good for a girl...and then the conversation steers to the topic of Brody's phone, specifically the the vast number of girls' numbers he has stored on the device. He hands it to her so that she can scan through the very long list, which includes an entry for Britney Canada Whore. He says, in his defence, that the phone list is an accumulation of many years of slutty playboying, and assures her that those girls mean nothing to him. Lauren shrugs and says, "You can do whatever you want", and Brody tentatively suggests that she could maybe give him some sort of signal...but when Lauren scrunches her face all faux confusedly about what in blazes he's talking about, they both drop the matter and exchange blank, bummed out stares.

Original airdate: 11/26/2007
Episode summary: While out clubbing, Lauren and Audrina encounter Stephanie Pratt. Audrina catches Justin kissing another woman and decides to end their unholy coupling.
Recap: Audrina tells Lauren that she was out clubbing the other night when she encountered a freak by the name of Stephanie Pratt, who accused her of being a bitch before declaring, "You and Lauren are done" ... and it remains unclear why this juicy drama didn't play out in front of the MTV camera crew. Lauren says she's met this loony She-Pratt before, and adds that she's a lot more worrisome than Spencer 'cause, unlike a guy, a girl can physically strike another girl.
Stephanie drops by Casa Pratt/Montag to witness Heidi and Spencer cheerfully bicker at each other about not paying the electric bill, and then coo, "I've never seen two people so in love." Heidi asks her if she knows about their upcoming wedding, and Stephanie replies, "Yeah, Tibet" and Heidi laughingly nixes that prospect and says she's all about planning a fun, family-oriented local wedding. Stephanie suddenly remembers that she and her friend Roxy got credentials on the Internet to be ministers and offers to officiate their wedding, but Heidi scrunches her face disinterestedly and says she has zero desire for her to do that.

"I got a ministers' certificate out of a gumball machine and would be more than happy to officiate your Tibetan wedding."
"Neither of those things sound right to me."
Over at Hillside Villas, Lauren and Audrina decide that tonight's partying venue will be a club named Opera. Audrina says she has no idea if Justin will be joining them 'cause he hasn't returned her call, then grimaces and ruefully murmurs, "Surprise.." Lauren shakes her head in disapproving frustration on her friend's behalf and says she needs a relationship that functions in public, and Audrina concurs and says it's become deeply annoying to her the way Justin constantly checks out other women when he's out with her. She adds that he's very attentive and sweet whenever they're alone together, but acts as if they barely know each other when lots of other people are around...and Lauren cheekily says they'd have the perfect relationship if they were both hermits.
Opera! Brody and Frankie arrive at the club and greet Lauren, Audrina, and Justin...who did manage to show up and is wearing some kind of ratty looking oversized kerchief atop his head. A few seconds later, Brody sees Stephanie across the room and alerts Lauren and Audrina to her presence. Stephanie waves at Brody before ambling over (with her friend Roxy in tow) to ask him what he's doing "on the evil side", then urges, "Come home with us." Roxy then chides Lauren and Audrina for messing with Heidi...and when Lauren asks, "What did I do to Heidi?", Stephanie says she's been egging everyone on to hate her 'cause of how much she hates Spencer. Lauren concedes that, yep, she does indeed hate Spencer with the intensity of a thousand suns - but that her beef with Heidi is a private matter between ex-BFFs and is therefore none of anyone else's business. Stephanie retorts, "When you hate my brother it makes me hate you", and Brody interjects and says that Spencer consciously fucked a lot of shit up, and reiterates Lauren's urging to refrain from involving herself in other people's problems. As Stephanie and Roxy start to amble off, Lauren advises, "Don't fight other people's battles" ... and once they're out of hearing range, Audrina remarks on how much the two remind her of Cinderella's evil step-sisters. As they chuckle over that, Brody says that the most amusing/WTF? part of that whole interaction was Stephanie beseeching him to 'come home with us'.

"Stop messing with Heidi."
"As you can see in real time, public arguments are a Hills ratings bonanza...so no can do."
Justin, meanwhile, is having a quasi-surreptitious interaction with a busty redhead...and a few seconds later, he abruptly leaves the table he's sitting at with Audrina, Lauren, et. al. to sit with the attractive stranger. Brody notices the table change and asks whassup wth Justin sitting over there...and Lauren gasps when she sees Justin kissing the redhead, and promptly reports the philandering to Audrina, who looks visibly upset with this, let's face it, unsurprising turn of events.
After the commercial break, Audrina discusses Justin's boorishness with Lauren et. al. ... and when Lauren asks her if she's OK, she says she's really not, and that she's "dead serious" about wanting to cut Justin off forever. A few seconds later, Justin exits the club while brazenly groping the busty redhead before coming face-to-face with Audrina, who demands to know what in blazes he's doing. When he reacts by darting outside, Audrina confronts the busty redhead, who delivers this now-classic denial, "I did not kiss him, I did not nothing him" (?) while Justin watches the spectacle from a few feet away, chortling and carrying on like a demented assclown. Lauren suggests they all head to the parking lot...and Justin trails after Audrina and somehow manages to steer her away from the rest of the crowd for a private chat. Audrina declares herself done, and Justin points out that she kinda says that word a lot. She tells him that what she saw tonight was disturbing, to which he nonsensically mumbles, "Because that's what I bring home. That's what I do?" [Um, yes..?] She recounts how soul-sucking it is to constantly wait around for him to call and make a decision about what label their relationship should have...and he tells her that this isn't about a decision, admits he would not be thrilled if she dated other guys, and insists that she's in his heart. Audrina firmly replies that she's thinking seriously about cutting the cord with respect to ever seeing him and/or talking to him on the phone anymore...and he asks her if she thinks it's really possible for her to bail and move on, says "I don't want shit to go down like this", and urges her to ride home with him. Lauren, meanwhile, is understandably shocked when the car carrying Justin and Audrina drives past where she's standing with Brody and Frankie.

"You're in my heart...you can bail and move on...I don't want shit going down like this."
"I'm starting to wonder if English is actually your first language."
Stephanie drops by Casa Pratt/Montag a second time to dish to Spencer and Heidi about her run-in with Brody and Lauren et. al. She recaps the snarkfest, claims that Brody scoffed, "Oh pleeeease" when Stephanie told him that she and Heidi were besties...which wasn't included in the footage that was aired, so that'll have to be a matter of debate. Stephanie then shares that Justin was kissing some redhead in full view of Audrina, then in the next breath somehow deduces that he seemed like the nicest person of the entire clique. Heidi's all, "Ooooh! Aaaaahhh" at the juicy tidbits, but then claims that she's soooo sick and tired of hearing about these people and would like to change the subject please.
At Epic Records, Audrina tells Chiara that Justin made out in full view of everyone with a busty redhead at Opera, and Chiara gasps and kind of laughs at his flagrant boorishness. Audrina says he was merely doing what he likely does whenever she's not around, and declares that last night was truly the last straw. She says that the car ride home was quiet on account of they didn't talk at all, and that Justin was actually surprised when she managed to restrain herself from jumping at the opportunity to spend the night at his place. She tells Chiara that she's serious about this hookup being over - but is being forced by The Hills producers to officially end their unholy coupling on camera.
A chastened looking Justin arrives at Hillside Villas for a final tête-à-tête with Audrina (at least for the time being). He scrunches his face confusedly and says he has no idea what all the fuss is about, denies kissing the busty redhead, and is "tripped out" that people are accusing him of the misdeed [that was largely captured on film]. Audrina points out that she herself witnessed him kissing her, as did her friends...and he grimaces at that and says, "Your friends don't fathom me whatsoever." He accuses Audrina of seeing what she wants to see, but Audrina points out that he's once again being completely nonsensical 'cause there's no reason she'd want to see him smooch another girl. She then wisely gives up on the inanity of this back-and-forth, calls the situation hopeless, and decides that attempting to have a relationship with someone as behavorially befuddling as him is never going to work. She firmly tells him it's over, and that from this moment hence they're platonic friends...and an ashen-faced Justin gives her a goodbye hug before dejectedly shuffling out the door and driving off in his ugly car.
Godspeed, shitbag.
