The Hills Recap: Two's Company, Three's a Crowd

(andPOP) - More money, more problems? Not for The Hills' girls! It's mo money, mo mansion. Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge upgrade from the Hillside Villas and move in with Lo Bosworth. But when two blondes pair up with a brunette the latter gets shafted - to the guest house. LC and Lo inform Audrina that she will be staying in a separate area of the house. Is that code for "we can live together as long as we never see you"? I hope they let her use the pool. Nonetheless, the three housemates decide to throw a house-warming party and unlike Speidi's, theirs is actually fun! Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad invite their friends while Lo Bosworth seems to have none. House-sharing should be left to two-somes.

Justin Bobby is invited much to the dismay of LC and Lo. But everyone else welcomes him with cheers when they view his new haircut. Now that we can see Justin's face we know who to give change to on the LA streets. No matter how short his hair is, he still looks homeless and in need of a shower. Audrina doesn't care; she's happy to have an ally against the blondes. Justin and her hide out in the guest house where she complains to him about her housemates' annoying comments, which mainly revolve around him.

Another guest to make a splash is Brody Jenner who shows up at the party with his girlfriend, Cora Skinner. He introduces her to LC who mocks politeness. Lo, on the other hand, says it like it is: "Brody's gf is very pretty with very large breasts!" LC does not seem too thrilled until her old Laguna Beach flame, Stephen Colletti, appears at the party. The two start to rekindle their 'relafriendship' but leave it in uncertain territory. LC perks up when Stephen informs her that they should go out for dinner. A la high school, LC has no idea if this is a date. Lo takes on the parental role, informing LC that one day Stephen and she will get married and watching as he meets her at the door. The two head to Il Cielo where LC is excited for the possibility of taking their friendship further. However, Stephen drops the "gf" word twice and its not girlfriend but "good friend." These two won't be taking it to the next level as emphasized during their awkward goodbye hug. Poor LC.

Nevertheless, Spencer Pratt is worse off than LC. The two see each other at a coffee shop that has become Spencer's new home. As Stephanie calls him the "Coffee-House-rat," they will probably need to hire an exterminator soon- or hire Heidi. Stephanie comes clean about wanting to go to LC's house-warming party and Spencer tells her off as usual, asking her where her "family loyalty" is. Stephanie doesn't cry this time but asks Spencer where his loyalty was when he befriended her ex-boyfriend. She does not care for Spencer's opinions but she does for Heidi's. Heidi is shocked that Stephanie would even consider going to LC's so Steph opts to stay in and skip the party. Now that's commitment.
