She asks Blah if she's ever heard of the White Tie Affair. No? Us neither, but something tells me their album's about to drop! Bosslady drones on about an event they're putting together for the lads while Blahdrina twirls her hair and lets her eyes glaze over (more) during a few subtle audio dissolves that splice together an actual sentence. Young ladies of the future business world, just so you know, this is NOT the image you want to project for success.

"Oh. Sorry, were you still talking?"

She asks Blahdrina to be her li'l slave at the event and to bring all of her rich, famous friends (and those cameras) with her. Additionally, she uses both ballet and nautical metaphors to stress the importance of Blahdrina's (impossible) focus for that night. Hooray for Blah! Another one of our young bucks gets a shot to really make it in this crazy world!

At a patisserie somewhere in the sunshine-soaked land of vapidity, Holly greets LC with fervor and pleads LC to help free her from the evil chains of the Pratt dynasty. No, no, actually she just squeals about how wonderful LC is through a plastered smile of unmoving lips and teeth. I wonder whether "I miss you, what's up?!" is code for something she doesn't want spies across the street to know about. I was going to say perhaps she's already become a Los Angeles marionette, but I guess that title already belongs to her sister and her vaudevillian-level devil of a boyfriend.

While LC does her best "Texas Housewife" impression.

When LC asks where Holls is living, she replies stammeringly about living with the jerk twins, beginning many sentences but finishing very few, presumably because all of them would end with "DEAR GOD HELP ME!" LC reacts with an appropriate amount of silent, judgmental disgust.

"I DO smell the eggs. Maybe it's me?"

Holls expresses her desire to keep their friendship intact because, like Stephanie, there's no reason her sibling's feud with her should affect THEIR friendship. Not when there's so much money and national exposure (and jobs with Joe Francis) to be gained.

Holly claims that Heidi was just talking about how sad she is about how bad everything turned out between them. Yeah, tough break, kid. LC doesn't answer. Instead, she gazes into nothingness and daydreams about her next Ralph Lauren purchase. Holly ends the lunch by saying how happy she is to be in the city and have LC's number now. Which seems funny considering that, supposedly, they're totally best friends and Holly texted LC on her PHONE to invite her to lunch. Good one, continuity.

"Perhaps Ralph would collaborate with me. We could call it... Ralph LC."

Blahdrina and Pigpen, sittin' in a tree. Eff You Cee Kay Eye Enn Gee. Pigpen's been promoted to "Blahdrina's Boyfriend" and to celebrate the occasion, he's decided to take a shower and comb his hair. Splendid! Don Juan plays all of his romance cards in one hand and compliments Blah on her dress.

"OMG he loves me! I AM GOING TO MARRY HIM!"

Instead of thanking him, she corrects him, as it is a skirt, silly. To Pigpen's credit, he doesn't even make an "easy access" joke. He may be classing up after all! Blahdrina tells him things are going really well with her roommates and that they're making an effort. "And I am too!" she laughs with an air of disbelief that perturbs me. "That's good..." Pigpen nods somewhat disappointedly.

"Damn, there go my chances at a spinoff."

He compliments her (wow, he's on a roll!) on her ability to accept people after they've fucked her over royally. "Like you?" she asks. Oooh sassy! I like this side of her. Unfortunately it only lasts so long. She asks him if he wants to come see the White Tie Affair. "The band?" he asks. No, dumbass, the event that's the evil twin of a black tie party. YES THE BAND. Some very poor voice dubs emphasize how important it would be to her if he came, which only serves to show us that he will never, in fact, come. His response is what I'd affectionately call "squirming hesitance," covered well by the manipulative line that if it's important to her, he'll be there. Which really just means that he doesn't want to go, but she's guilting him into it. Then he twitches, or perhaps winks, at her with adoration.

Later, at the LauLoBlahteau minus one Lo, Lauren debates whether to have teabags with or without caffeine.

I'm pretty sure Holly lived with Lauren and Heidi during the first season. No clue why they never showed it. Also, I actually loled at Heidi's conversation with Kimberly at the end. "...how we don't have a friendship anymore because ... she didn't like my boyfriend and I ... said things out of anger that I didn't mean."

Way to be obviously guilty, Heidi.

Cable Girl:

I too am baffled as to how Lauren and Holly (even Lauren and Heidi to a lesser degree) have this long-standing friendship. My understanding is that Heidi and Lauren met at their fashion school in San Francisco. Based on the earlier “Laguna Beach” episodes, Lauren only lasted a couple of months in San Francisco before returning home to Laguna Beach. At some point Heidi moved into Lauren's family's home. Maybe a year later, at best, Lauren moved to Los Angeles with Heidi and thus begun “The Hills” saga. So at what point did Heidi, Lauren and Holly bond and have all of this history together? I am genuinely perplexed.

heygirl:

No mention of the hairlip that LC was toting everywhere? I thought maybe it was just bad lighting or a weird shadow...but damn, someone sign that girl up for a wax.

lawyergal:

I definitely think that Holly lived there. I actually rewound the beginning of her lunch with LC. LC said "when did you move back." I caught the "back" part of that which, combined with all of the "3 Muskateers" comments made me believe that Holly lived in LA for a while.

But, if she did live in LA for a while - how come she doesn't know anyone besides Heidi and LC. Oh, that's right, she just doesn't know anyone else on the cast of the show! God forbid they bring in another filler (aka Chiara) just to allow Holly to have conversations with someone!!

DP Hooker:

Yeah I was trying to figure out if Kimberley was knocked up, trying to see if she had a belly under that table but couldn't see anything conclusive. Wow, the seasons have not been kind to her.

Monamonzano:

Holy shit, your captions rule. Love this recap, DP Hooker!

leenie:

Not that I'm one to defend these chicks, I'd rather just laugh and point...however, have ya seen Kelly Cutrone? She isn't exactly setting the bar high for professional appearence in the workplace.

bonita:

During Season 1 of The Hills, Holly was Heidi and LC's third, never-seen roommate. At the time, Holly didn't want to be on TV so they never showed her.

So that's where the friendship started. Since they only shoot The Hills -- what -- 3 days a week(?), the three of them spent lots of off-camera time together...

2 Old 4 This:

Great screencaps O!!

alex_w:

Best screen caps:
"I... just wanna fly!"
and
"How come the light bulb never goes on over my head?"
Excellent stuff.

Hey Buddy:

Looks like I'm going to have to start watching me some Lifefime. I don't get Cinemax.

uglycutie:

Seriously...MTV has to be leaving major film on the editing room floor because Holly has to be having some conversations with Heidi that go something like this:

Holly: DUDE! What the f*** is up with your boyfriend?! He seriously did not just tell me not to fraternaize with Lauren? I mean, who the hell does he think he is? What the hell is going on here anyway? Does he beat you, Heidi? I'm calling mom and dad cause this isn't right. Next time he talks to me like that I'm kicking him square in the nuts. Is he on drugs? Why is he obsessed with Lauren? Is he just acting? I better be getting paid too.

Oh. By the way, why is your face frozen?
