A Not So Comfortable Trip to Cabo

Kicking things off with Heidi and Spencer, this episode is basically the culmination of the Holly problem. Spencer vents to Stephanie at the coffeehouse about how Holly is always around and as a result he can’t get any work done at his “office” (who does this fool think he’s kidding? He sits on his ass all day watching TV and playing on his computer.). Anyway, Spencer eventually confronts Heidi with an ultimatum that either he will move out or Holly has to move out. So much for family. Heidi then turned around and confronts Holly about needing to get a job and find a new place, and Holly seems oblivious to the fact that Spencer wants her out. I guess Heidi got the brains in that family…yeah…right…

Audrina is out in the dating world with some Australian guy named Cory. Things seem to be going well until Audrina brings Cory to a party in Malibu with LC and Whitney. Once there, the broskis show up and make things awkward because they talk to LC about how Justin is their broski and a bigger issue is an impending trip to Cabo for Brody’s birthday, which Justin has been invited to and Audrina has been invited to. It wouldn’t be so bad, except for the fact that Audrina kind of sort of mentioned it to Cory and invited him along…not broski approved.

Irrelevant but worth noting, the last scene involved Audrina and Justin in the pool at her house. They seemed to confirm that they were no longer an item when Justin said that while in Cabo he would have a “free pass” (translation being that he can hook up with whatever biddies he wants to). Somehow things turned to Audrina taking her top off and making out with Justin in the pool. Yes, that actually happened.

The following episode tied directly into the above, as it took place on the controversial Cabo trip. No doubt they went down in a private plane (I sometimes wonder if these kids even know what Coach means outside of being an overpriced designer). Awkwardly enough, Justin and Audrina were expected to share a room, a situation that was quickly remedied by LC encouraging Audrina to stay in her room. Later, Justin awkwardly (it sucks, I really can’t think of a more perfect word to describe most events revolving around Audrina) confronts Audrina at dinner about how he noticed her bag rolling out of their room (they argued semantics for awhile until it was finally clarified that Audrina was physically present and moving her bag out of his room to LC’s room, as if this needed to be clarified). Actually, in short, Justin acts like a douche to Audrina the entire trip, teasing her about her new guy that she apparently left him for, even though he was a total douche when they were together so he’s got no right to really be mad. Trick of the trade: never look for logic and reason when it comes to “The Hills.” Just don’t bother. Try and walk away.

So Spencer and Heidi found themselves in a post-Holly situation, and without that dramatic situation, they naturally had to scrounge up a new one. What better way than grilling Stephanie’s new boyfriend on a double date. Rather than politely talk and enjoy each other’s company, Spencer and Heidi proceed to air out their dirty laundry bringing up topics ranging from LC to Brody to Holly, and there was even enough time to mention the recent Doug/Stephanie situation. That went well. Just when you think Spencer and Heidi are about to make nice with other people, you realize these two idiots deserve to be alone with each other.
