The Hills: "Second Chances"
Episode 6 Recap by Erin Murphy
September 11, 2007
The next day at the Teen Vogue Offices, Whitney is busy being boring when LC walks in and is told to color coordinate some clothing… a monkey could intern at Teen Vogue - I'm just saying. LC vents about her bad date with Derek, the trainer, and laughs about him gushing all over her. They laugh about desperate guys and LC reveals her desire to break the "one date curse" she's been suffering from since breaking up with Jason. Whitney tells her to go on more second dates because not everybody is going to be her Prince Charming. I think LC should just keep looking because one day that beautiful man may ride up on a horse wearing black leather chaps (the horse, not the guy) and she'll know the wait was worth it.
At the Bolthouse Offices, Heidi meets with Bolt-neck and makes a play for the job. He talks about it being a team decision and that Elodie is also very interested. Heidi disregards everything and sells herself, once again, for the position. Bolt-neck reminds her that the job is on a much higher level than what she's currently doing - because hey, getting people into bars where there are celebrities is harder than brain surgery (unless it's on Audrina). He's annoying, she's unbelievable and the conversation ends with Heidi officially in the running for the job.
Later that night, Lo arrives at LC and Audrina's apartment and immediately launches into her favorite topic - Bustin Jobby. She asks about Audrina's latest fight with him but the conversation ends as quickly as it began since there's nothing new to report. LC answers a phone call from Jason but nothing is discussed. Can somebody please do something - perhaps a grease fire? Lo informs LC that she can't be friends with Jason which causes an uncomfortable silence but nothing of real substance. The girls eat dinner and Audrina asks LC questions from a book called "Love & Sex." First question - "If starting now you could have $500 a day until you next touched your lover, how long do you think you would avoid physical contact?" Before LC can respond, Audrina reminds her that she's not in a relationship so the question "doesn't count." It's rather brutal but Audrina is incapable of reading from a page and considering her friend's feelings at the same time. That would take at least two brain cells. Second question - "How many times have you fallen in love and allowed yourself to JUST be swept away?" LC chews her food and holds up one finger. Audrina guesses Jason and LC nods. Lo stares. I burp and throw my pillow at the television - C'MON!
The next day, Audrina and LC hit the pool and laugh about Derek who left LC a message asking for a second date. No chance. LC wonders if her expectations are too high and Audrina assures her that she just knows what she wants and won't settle. Audrina does, however, remind LC that there is no perfect guy, well except for Bustin Jobby and Spencer. LC gushes about how much she loves and desires imperfections in her boyfriends. Speaking of a very imperfect boyfriend, Audrina mentions that she talked with Busty Jobbin last night and that he "apologized and said he was sorry." Yes, everybody he not only apologized, he also said sorry - now that's awesome. Audrina points out that "it's really huge because he never says sorry." Wow, he's truly amazing. Audrina ended the call saying they are better off just being friends. LC doesn't believe it and reminds Audrina that she wants to be with when he's nice, but then he turns into the evil abandoner and she doesn't want to be with him and you can't like half of a person… unless they're a Siamese twin but then they are really a whole person they're just half of a whole… ugh, nevermind - it made sense at first.
Yes, we're at Bolthouse again and I'm ready for things to go off. Unfortunately, there is no footage of the actual decision being made, but when Heidi waltzes into her new office and takes a seat at her new desk, it's clear she's won the job and lost her last friend. Seems a fair trade, I mean jobs are for life and friends are just temporary. I get so excited that I pee a little bit when Elodie peeks her head into Heidi's office and congratulates her. I'm astounded at how cool she's being until Heidi makes the mistake of saying she didn't want to step on anybody's toes. Elodie sneers through her smile and then says, "No hard feelings, since we have to work together." Elodie is pissed and I don't blame her. Heidi didn't step on her toes, she drove over them in a tank and then did a 3-point turn.
On the other side of town, Audrina and Bustin Jobby take his beloved white V-neck to the beach. They drive into the sunset of friendship and anything that happens when they're drunk doesn't count. Meanwhile, LC drives to a coffee house where she finally meets up with Jason. They hug and playfully notice the physical changes in each other. Jason mentions his "group" meetings and admits to having some bad habits and being out of control in the past. He admits it was difficult after their break up because LC cut him off completely. She says she needed space and is glad they are friends now. They drink coffee and avoid eye contact. It's sweet but boring. Oh well, perhaps the pot is just simmering for now. Next week we will be blessed with a showdown between Team LC and Team Heidi - get your t-shirts now!
