Elsewhere in the partay, hipsters are mixing with hippies are mixing with preppies are mixing with rockers are mixing with... Lo. She asks whether Pigpen is coming and Blahdrina sighs defeatedly, answering that he never returned her texts. Bummer.

The holy twins of cherubic drama.

Later at Epic, Chiara has made her triumphant return and she and Blahdrina laugh over the insane amount of stress Blah had to suffer during the event. As far as I could tell, all she did was invite her friends to a party, take shots with a group of rock stars, and dance half-assedly while balancing her purse and cocktail in the same hand. Then again, I don't work in the industry and therefore cannot know the travails of an assistant music... something... to the whatever... wait, exactly what does Blahdrina do?

Anyway, Blahdrina's Day-Glo teeth recap the Tale of the Afterparty and that darn Pigpen's unexpected awful behavior. She doesn't understand why she gives and gives while he only takes. Well, maybe it's because you're so enthralled by his loving advice to dump your friends that he knows that's all he has to give. Maybe it's because you keep getting back together with him after he treats you like gum on the bottom of his shoe. Chiara notes that Blahdrina has learned not to invest her feelings in this relationship. That's just sad. What kind of relationship are you in if you know (and accept) that he's just going to let you down? Oh, right. The kind that lands you a spot on "The Hills." On the other hand, Blahdrina reasons that they still have an amazing chemistry together.

Take it from O. Snapp. Attraction is nothing if the guy's an asshole.

"How come the light bulb never goes over my head?"

At Fit'Em, LC dishes on her lunch with The Other Sister. I see Steph has returned to her Swiss Miss On Coke look.

"How about a nice cuppa hot chocolate? I put a little something extra in it!"

Steph reiterates how LC and Holls "were best, best, best friends." HOW? How? Will someone better versed in the inner workings of this incestuous family/friendship circle PLEASE explain this to me? Anyway, a wicked smile creeps across Stephanie's face, as though she's glad she'll have a partner to help her stir up the pot. But as they discuss it further, LC explains that she just doesn't want to cause trouble for anyone. That's sweet honey, but have you ever watched your own show?

"It's just scary that she lives with them," says Stephanie, Girl Who Used To Live With Spencer. Yet another misuse of an adjective; these ladies are great at that. NO, Steph, scary's not the word you're looking for. Scary would be if they kept Holls chained in the basement with scraps of food sitting just barely out of her reach. Scary would be if Spence 'n' Heidi were running a meth lab in the kitchen they share with Holls. Scary would be if Holls woke up in the middle of the night and Spencer were staring at her in the dark from across the room. Getting the chance to harass Spencer by leaving your tampons everywhere is NOT scary.

But I digress. Some soft, chick-reunion music comes in as the scene is intercut with Heidi's totally fake lunch with Kimberly (remember her?) and they discuss the awkwardness of it all. I don't know why Kimmy's been out the last few episodes, but perhaps it has something to do with why she looks so exhausted, bloated and disinterested in life in general.

"When do I get that meth you promised me?"

Heidi bemoans the loss of her friendship with LC, which she retrospectively concedes "lasted for years" whereas their fight was relatively short (HA. You call three seasons short?). "She was my best friend. I never had a best friend like that before." Yeah, not even your only sister.

Her incessant dramababble is (thankfully) drowned out by the increasingly sappy music, and, combined with the back-and-forth between her scene and LC's, this can only mean one thing: there's a reunion coming up someday. "Maybe Holly will just peace everything out," Heidi hopes. Maybe she will, Heidi. Maybe she will.

"That's probably like hugging it out, right?"

Dearest lovely readers, I leave you tonight with one final screengrab. This was a very special moment wherein the stars aligned, my computer streaming video from MTV.com went a little kooky, and we got some digital freakiness that revealed the real Stephanie Pratt.

Now THAT would be scary to live with. See you on the boards!

jerseygirl:

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?
