candle012207So many dilemmas facing the girls of The Hills this week. Was Heidi with child? Would Spencer advocate an abortion? And could Lauren resuscitate a magic candle? Yes, it's all part of the coming-of-age experience that this show depicts so accurately. I for one can't tell you how many flowers I had to sew onto umbrellas when I first moved to L.A.. A pure nightmare. Thank you, MTV, for finally portraying my struggle.

Yes, there was plenty of silliness on this second, triumphant episode of the season. The fun started with Heidi, who we last saw holed up in the bathroom with her new friend, the CVS home pregnancy testing kit. As the show began, we eagerly awaited the results of her bathroom diagnosis, but alas, we weren't given any info. Instead, Heidi walked solemnly out of the loo, eventually plopping down next to a perky Lauren who was doing her most favorite thing ever: sitting on a couch. Seriously, they should rename this show from The Hills to The Sofa.

Actually, Lauren was doing something productive: she was making a list for her birthday which was months and months away. Oh. Okay. I guess there weren't any sudoku puzzles lying around. Anyway, LC asked Heidi why she had left work early, and she replied "I had a lot on my mind." It's true. She had just learned that there exists a whole set of numbers beyond 35.

Okay, okay. I kid. Of course what had been occupying Heidi's thoughts was the possibility that she may be preggers, and when she told this to Lauren, well, let's just say it didn't take long for LC to bust out her famous Laser Eyes of Disapproval. Soon, Lauren realized she should probably be supportive rather than judgmental, and so she began guilting Heidi, asking her why the heck she hadn't told her sooner. Heidi explained that she just didn't want to talk to anyone about it and wasn't sure if she should say anything to Spencer because then maybe he'd leave her yada yada yada. But Lauren refused to accept that answer. The way she saw it, Heidi could tell her anything. Lauren then made a little anti-Spencer zinger about not cheating, but all I could think about was whether or not Audrina was going to have a pregnancy scare now. She WOULD. Bitch.

After the opening credits, we then found ourselves at Bolthouse Productions where Heidi was taking a break from her busy job of sitting around. She called up Spencer, who answered his phone with unbridled levels of bullshit in his voice. "What a pleasant little surprise!" he gushed, clearly not realizing that the camera crew in his passenger seat probably should have tipped him off to this alleged "surprise." Anyway, Heidi told him that they had to talk right away. "Meet me in the back alley," she instructed as fears of some awful, Spencer-led abortion raced through my head. I could totally imagine it too. Spencer would totally get in there, smile widely, and announce, "I'm on your team, embryo! Have you been to Don Antonio's?"

Meanwhile, over at Teen Vogue, we found Lisa Love on the phone stating "NO... NO, he's not." Oh damn! Someone just got Loved! Lauren and Whitney then entered the room, and Lisa informed them that they'd have to work at the Ashley Paige fashion show the next night. This was very important because Ashley was a friend of Amy Astley, and for those of you who don't remember, Amy Astley is like the big deal head honcho at Teen Vogue. We know this because when Amy popped up last season, she sported a status-conscious Miranda Priestley hairstyle that just seemed to say, "Why is no one reeeadddy???"

Well, everything seemed great, but suddenly Whitney noted that she had school the next day. Oh Whitney. To paraphrase Ms. Love, you'll always be known as the girl who didn't go to the Ashley Paige fashion show. Surprisingly, Lisa was quite tolerant to this conflict, saying, "School is very important." She then leveled a gaze at Lauren that seemed to say, "Yes, school is very important, UNLIKE COKE HEAD BOYFRIENDS WITH HOUSES IN MALIBU! YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE GIRL WHO DIDN'T GO TO PARIS. ALWAYS!!!"
