Later as the party is about to start, Daddy wants to know who all will be coming over and Chrissy tells him just Kylie and Allie. Cut to hordes of kids coming up Chrissy's front walk and then embracing in her kitchen. Taylor is here, still petting her long hair, and Mayor G-Thing is obviously trying to take this opportunity to comfort her in her time of loss and grieving over Chase. Kylie meanwhile, is bouncing all over introducing herself to everybody with Chase.

"Hi! I'm Taylor's replacement!"

Well! Who should be showing up on the doorstep right this minute? It's BILLY and his entourage of bejeweled fraternity boys! Now who saw that coming? Billy keeps his hood on in a very Chase-like fashion statement, and I have to say that he looks to me like a smaller, more feminine version of Clay. Not so very exciting. But we haven't gotten to know him yet, so I could be all wrong.

"Then after we herded the sheep, we came here."

Mayor G-Thing perks all up, ready to go into espionage mode for his brah. He immediately starts making fun of diamond earrings, but I don't see them on Billy. Perhaps the entourage? Party goers like Taylor and Original Allie start speculating as to what is going on between Chrissy and Billy.

Kylie/Chase and Chrissy/Billy head out to the patio where Kylie decides that Chrissy and Billy need some alone time. They start making out in full view of Mayor G-Thing and Taylor, among other people, who are peering down over a balcony at them. Mayor G-Thing runs out to the pool to call Clay and leave him a message telling him all about Billy being there and that it's obvious he and Chrissy have been hooking up. I can't believe I'm saying this, but good for the Mayor! Poor Clay. How dumb is Chrissy to make out with Billy right in front of Clay's best friend?

No. No they're not.

The next day Taylor and her friend Alex go shopping and discuss the party. Taylor thinks it was weird to see Chase and Alex is proud to report that she acted like she didn't know him. Apparently Chase is up to his old games because he texted Taylor this very morning saying, "Good morning, babe." Ew, I don't like him! To be honest, I'm not a huge Kylie fan either. Taylor says Chase just wants to have his cake and eat it too. No way, Chase? They like, wonder what like, Clay is going to like, do about like, Chrissy. He's way too hot to be in a relationship they decide.

Chrissy and Daddy take Bogey for a walk and have some "girlfriend time." Chrissy wants to know what Daddy thought of Billy and Daddy says he was surprised to see Billy, but that he was a very nice girl - I mean gay - I mean guy. She spills the beans about kissing Billy and Daddy wonders if it's time to be honest with Clay. But Chrissy still has feelings for Clay, Daddy! Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Daddy just wants Chrissy to remember that she's in college to get an education, not to have a drama-fest. Now off you go back to Santa Barbara. See you at Thanksgiving!

Where does Chrissy go to school again?

For our final scene Clay and Mayor G-Thing go surfing and commiserate. Mayor G-Thing describes the "sorority ass" as "not dime pieces, but maybe a five piece." I must be older than death because I have no idea what he's talking about. I do know, however, that dime or five pieces, Mayor G-Thing got none of it. Clay wants to hear about Timmy, Jimmy... no Billy, and is very offended when the diamond earrings come up. Chrissy may be leaving him for a guy who wears diamond earrings? I hear you, Clay. It's insulting. Mayor G-Thing admits that he saw Chrissy and Billy making out and he thinks that next weekend they should head up to Santa Barbara so Clay can see the situation for himself. Clay looks so sad and just gives a depressed little nod.

"Dude you're right again. No more showers."

Then he gets a surge of courage and says, "Yeah, let's do it! Let's go to Santa Barbara! I need to see this for myself!" Why Clay! I've never seen you so determined and aggressive! It's highly attractive!

Next week the Newport boys put their plan into action and crash a Billy Party in Santa Barbara. Kylie lets them in and is not so happy with this "surprise" which she did not orchestrate. Uh oh, Chrissy and Billy are kissing in plain sight again!

i really hope they put laguna beach 3 on dvd. maybe combined with newport harbor 1? ugh, its all i can think about is how sad i'll be if those episodes are lost forever.

shia0bundan:

Jesus! Daddy was the door greeter at Chrissy's party? As a recent high school graduate and current college freshman.. What ze hell? Who has a house party (with alcohol I assume) and full on makes out with a guy with her dad in the same house?

Chrissy and her dad are creepy!

AsIf:

What was with all the obvious voice-over! Goodness.

t00haute:

besides everything else that is obviously annoying about this show, the one this that bothers me the most is taylor's hair! it makes her look like she has a shrunken head and the way she always runs her hands through it is soooo annoying. she is gonna be one of those people we see on oprah in a few years having a fabulous makeover because their hair is down to their calves and they look crazy!

& wtf is up with chrissy's voice/manner of speaking. she talks ridiculously fast and uses the word "like" way more than anyone else on the show does. its incredibly bothersome and she really needs to stop it.

jesshloly:

there were so many things about this episode that didn't make sense...

steez:

To clarify: a dime piece is a 10! Like dayumm.. that girl a 10!

Therefore a five piece is a 5... not so hot.

Thanks for the recap Honey Gangsta, this show needs the help!

DP Hooker:

I guess Daddy just keeps a fleet of Lexus SUVs in his garage at Chrissy's disposal because I swear she drove a black one home from school, but then when she went shopping with her girls, she was driving a white (silver?) one.

I can't believe how dumb she was to make out at her house with that little hobbit while everyone from high school that knew Clay was there. I love that G-thing left him a message with the good news and was like "we'll sort this out when you get back into town." Speaking of g-thing, it definitely looked like he had some sort of wasting disease that first scene on the boat with Clay.

I'm sorry, I may be 10 years older than Clay but he is much much hotter than Billy or any other guy on that show for taht matter. Chrissy is a moron.

lnnc92:

DP Hooker - my thoughts exactly...I felt a little creepy thinking that, being that I'm probably about 10 years older than Clay myself, but he is definitely way hotter than Billy.

Honey Gangsta:

Hello!

So happy to see you guys commenting! I didn't want to have to sort out "Home for the Holidays" all on my own.

Steez: YES! I went to urbandictionary.com after I posted this (since I am so old and out of touch) and edumacated myself about the "dime piece" reference. Good to be on the same, young page. :)

DP Hooker: SO GLAD to see you! I always look forward to your hilarious comments. You are definitely one of my favorites around here.

Thanks for keeping me laughing, guys!

Much love!
-HG

DP Hooker:

Honey Gangsta - aw thanks! my first thought when i saw "home for the holidays" was that i hoped you would be recapping it.

My other final thought on what a dipshit Chrissy is was this: What kind of girl sets up a friend (I'm assuming she likes this Kylie) with a guy like Chase??? She was like "you guys are really cute together," as if that made up for his on-again, off-again situation with Taylor and just being a d-bag player in general. I thought that was so weird that she'd do that to a friend.

Looking forward to more crazy antics from the newp!!

fnllover:

I am so glad this semi-boring yet awesome show is back. Two things about teh show I loved-- the fact that Allie changed her hair... it looks SO much better! Also, I also thought of the free advertising UCSB was getting with Chrissy. Seriously. Just because you are at school there doesn't mean you have to wear the clothes.

I thought I would see some sorority letters, to figure out what sorority she belonged to-- hopefully that will come up in the future, because I am reading PLEDGED right now, and would love to find out that she lost her virginity to some frat guy as part of hazing. That would be sad, but hilarious, since she was so proud of her "V" status before.

andreak1013:

i don't understand why chrissy is the protagonist. she's my least favorite character, f'real. as embarrassed as i am that i get enough into this to have a "least favorite character."

MichYPR:

DP Hooker I kinda did what Chrissy did to a friend of mine who I really consider my friend, I hooked her up with a guy I've known since we were kids cause I thought they'd be compatible even though I know he's a player. I meant no harm I just thought they could have a good time, it has nothing to do with whether she likes the girl or not, maybe she just thought she'd have fun with a guy she's known for a long time...kinda redundant heh. Anyways, glad to see you're recapping this show HG, loves it! :)

gfab:

frillover-

I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that Chrissy is a Pi Beta Phi. It seems to have sucked the brain cells out of her. She and her friends from Santa Barbara seemed so vapid.

the_baddest_bitch:

I too have the hots for Clay and I've got almost 20 years on him. Woe is me:(

jesshloly:

um, i'm pretty sure chase and chrissy's friend were not so much set up my chrissy as newport's producers as a way to keep everyone tied to each other. came in handy second episode, no?

MichyPR:

lmao ok then assuming it's not scripted. my bad. I'm just saying that it's not entirely uncommon for girls to do that.

HEEHAW:

good call t00haute about Taylor's weird annoying long hair look. this has been bothering me about her also. "her shrunken head look". HA HA HA! i AM CONVINCED that she is hiding something awful about her looks behind that over-processed mop. maybe weird spock ears? horrible zits? mutton chop sideburns? she wears way too much makeup btw... something terrible is going on behind all that hair. when she is in the hot tub it still stays plastered to the sides of her face and she peaks through it like a curtain. very mysterious, weird and bothersome.

agreed, this billy guy is a chump punk. clay could easily beat his ass, and should just out of principle. i hope chrissy finds clay humping allie #1 and runs home whimpering to daddy. damn, she is good looking but so dumb.
