Recap

The episode begins with Audrina talking to Lauren about how she hung out with Cory the Australian all weekend (an old flame). She hasn’t yet told Justin about him and feels slightly guilty about it. Lauren suggests that maybe Justin will miss Audrina if he thinks he is going to lose her.

Spencer meets up with Stephanie to complain about Heidi’s mom and sister, who don’t seem to like him. He fills her in on how Holly was responsible for Heidi sending Lauren a letter. Spencer says he is done dealing with Heidi’s family. Stephanie tells him to talk to Heidi about it.

Later at work, Lauren invites Whitney to Malibu with her, Audrina and Cory. Lauren admits that she likes Cory better than Justin. Meanwhile, Audrina and Cory meet up at a restaurant and talk about how long he will be in town. Audrina lies to him about her relationship with Justin and says they are only friends. She invites him to the Malibu party. The next morning at the house, Lauren and Audrina invite Cory to Mexico with them.

Meanwhile at Spencer and Heidi’s house, things heat up. Spencer tells Heidi that he wants her sister to move out. Heidi objects, then Spencer gives her an ultimatum and tells her that it’s either him or Holly.

The girls and guys go to Malibu to hang out, and while Audrina is frolicking in the pool with Cory, the guys inform Lauren that Justin might be coming over. Then the guys tell Audrina that they invited Justin to Mexico with them. Audrina is left with a dilemma since now both him and Cory are supposed to go.

Heidi breaks the news to Holly that it’s time they find her somewhere else to live.

Back at the girls’ house, Justin comes over to hang out with Audrina. They play around together and drink wine and Audrina finds out that Justin will be going to Mexico, but that he plans to “get in trouble” while he is there.

RECAP:

The drama never stops… It’s Stephanie’s birthday party and of course she has invited her new good friend Lauren, who plans to bring her new guy and Audrina and Lo. Lauren asks Stephanie in class if she has invited Spencer and Heidi, and Stephanie says she doesn’t know since she hasn’t spoken to them in a while.

Lauren goes to lunch with Doug and confesses to him that things are strained between Lo and Audrina. She invites Doug to go to Stephanie’s party.

Audrina talks to her coworker Chiara about how Lo came to her room on her birthday to apologize for not being around.

Meanwhile Whitney is finding her new boss is quite demanding.

Heidi and Spencer are out to dinner and Spencer gets a text message from Stephanie asking if they are coming to her birthday party. Heidi and Spencer discuss Steph’s loyalty since she is hanging out with Lauren these days.

The night of the party dawns, and Lo and Lauren get ready together while they discuss Lauren’s trust Stephanie is legitimate. Kelly Cutrone meets up with Whitney and the other girls in the company and acts totally rude, telling them they have to do it her way because, as she says, “It’s my company.” (She utters that phrase at least 2 or 3 times).

Lo shows her somewhat bitchy side on the ride over to Boulevard 3 with Lauren and mentions that “the ones who matter are getting along” in reference to Audrina. Apparently Audrina doesn’t matter to her!

At the party, Lo snubs Audrina once more. Audrina takes off.

Heidi and Spencer show up unexpectedly at the party. Brody takes off, saying he doesn’t want any drama. Lauren soon follows when she overhears Spencer saying “get these obnoxious chicks away” to Stephanie.

Stephanie goes to visit Spencer and he tells her that he’s had it with her being friends with Lauren. He acts like his typical overly obnoxious rude self and reduces Stephanie to tears.

Kelly Cutrone drops the bomb to Whitney that she is to take Jessica’s old place at the office.

Stephanie basically lies to Lauren later on in class and says she didn’t know they were coming. It looks like Lauren is starting to question her trust in Stephanie…

REVIEW:

This was a good episode… I started to really dislike Lo’s character because of how she is treating Audrina. She is clearly either very bitchy or just feels threatened by Audrina’s friendship with Lauren. Spencer meanwhile came across as his usual horrible self. I was so angry over the way he treated his sister. I mean, after all, it was HIS entire fault for the whole Lauren fight in the first place! I wish Heidi would wake the heck up.

I’m eager to find out what happens down the line with Lauren and Stephanie’s friendship… will Stephanie turn on her?

Whitney’s story line is moving right along, although I personally cannot stand her boss Kelly. There is no reason for her to be so rude and demanding, whether she owns her company or not (IMHO).

Last but not least, I wonder why Lauren doesn’t seem to care much that Lo and Audrina aren’t getting along…

PHOTOS:

Lauren, Heidi, Whitney, Audrina and Spencer are back!

The episode starts off with Lauren at work talking to Whitney about her upcoming date with an old boyfriend Doug, with whom she went to (his) prom with. Meanwhile, Heidi is at work talking to her coworker Kimberly about how her sister Holly is coming to visit. The problem is that her sister doesn’t know Spencer has moved back in. Audrina talks to her friend Chiara at work about how Lauren is throwing her a pool party/barbecue for her birthday. Audrina also mentions to Chiara that Lo is pretty “bitchy” and that they don’t really get along very well.

Lauren and her date go to Red Pearl Kitchen in Los Angeles. Lauren is clearly smitten with him and invites him to go to Audrina’s birthday pool party.

Heidi and Spencer get into a little spat in front of Holly. Other than that Holly has a good time staying with them and mentions she wants to move out to LA.

The day of the party arrives. Audrina tells Lauren and Lo that she invited Justin and some of the other people she’s been hanging out with lately. Lo gets kind of catty by hinting around that she doubts any of them will show up.

Heidi and Holly go to Prive Salon and talk a little bit about Heidi and Spencer and Lauren.

Lauren gets increasingly frustrated with the situation between Audrina and Lo. Lo stayed upstairs during Audrina’s party. Audrina didn’t seem to care and doesn’t really make an effort to befriend Lo. Lo confronts Audrina about this, and Audrina utters the words… “We’ll never be friends.”

Wow.

More Episode Screen Shots:

Overall, this was a great season premiere episode. I can’t decide if Lo is being overly bitchy and mean or if Audrina is. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. There were some really juicy upcoming scene sneak peaks at the end of this episode.
