Oh man. For everyone who's never lived in Los Angeles, tonight's episode of The Hills did a pretty good job of showing just what sort of a climate we exist in out here by the Pacific. I'm not the type that usually begrudges the young and beautiful for getting ahead in life (how could I begrudge myself? mwhahah. Just KEEDING), but sometimes you just gotta shake your head at the obnoxious and superficial ways the Hollywood totem pole operates. Take for instance sweet, idiotic Heidi. I've seen amoebas with greater job prospects than she, and yet, because she's hot and has a camera crew trailing her around, she lives a charmed, albeit empty life. It's a painful thing to watch when you're a struggling writer in Hollywood, but hey, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop. Bring on the masochistic adventures!
In true Laguna / Hills form, the episode began with LC narrating a brief recap of the last show. We relived all those wonderful moments -- moving in, getting a job, watching Heidi jeopardize Lauren's awesome job. Good times. Of course, LC wasn't very happy about her friend crashing the Teen Vogue party. "Heidi did what she wanted, when she wanted," LC complained. Because clearly LC had no part in Heidi getting into the party whatsoever...
Anyway, we found the two girls lounging around the apartment, trying on clothes. Heidi thought she had found a top she had wanted to wear, but Lauren advised her that it was a little short. "You and me, we have different short," Heidi said. And by "short," she meant "mental capacities." Of which she has none. I'm pretty sure that at this moment, she's gazing at a piece of dust floating in the air.
LC then told Heidi about how she and her buds got her in trouble at the party. "I got yelled at... well, no, I didn't get yelled at. I got scolded," LC explained. Yes, LC was still smarting from her run-in with her boss. Now she too knows the burning welt that only Lisa Love's fire-tongue can inflict. Few have survived her passive-aggressive wrath!
Anyway, LC insisted that Heidi couldn't crash any more of her work functions, to which Heidi replied, "Okay, we'll make that a rule." Yeah, you know, kind of how it was a rule LAST TIME.
We then saw the opening credits (which are not nearly as strangely transfixing as Hilary Duff's Laguna Beach anthem), and then we learned this episode ominous title: "A Change of Plans." Change of plans? What might happen? Will Heidi be struck by a bus? Or might she read her first book without pictures? The possibilities were endless!
Well, we soon headed to the Teen Vogue offices where LC and Whitney nervously awaited the stern reprimand of Lisa Love.
"No one ever said anything to me about letting them in, but hopefully everything's okay," Whitney said optimistically. Yeah, you keep thinking that. Meanwhile, she'll be cleaning Lisa Love's floors with a toothbrush in about forty-five minutes.
By the way, I love how at Whitney's workstation, she's taped a piece of Teen Vogue stationery to a cabinet, almost as if it were a memo or to-do list, but THERE'S NOTHING ON IT. Who posts blank paper??
Anyway, LC and Whitney continued to rehash the party, with LC saying that Heidi shouldn't have crashed AND gotten into a fight. "No, that wasn't really responsible," Whitney said. Yeah, that wasn't really responsible at all. Kind of like how you LET THEM IN.
