The Hills Recap: Karma's A Bitch

(andPOP) - Stephanie Pratt is left crying on the Hills for a second time this season. But there's no sympathy for a back-stabbing Pratt. When Lauren Conrad calls her out on her dinner-date with Doug, Stephanie admits that he was just using her to get back at LC and that she deleted his number off her phone. Well then why would she go to dinner with him in the first place! Then she has the nerve to tell Lauren that she'll be at Doug's barbecue. Lauren Conrad cannot believe what she's hearing: "Doug invited you but you erased him but you’re still gonna go?" Stephanie replied that she planned to go weeks ago, "before I was even friends with him." Stephanie's logic never ceases to amaze me. Of course after telling Lauren all this, Stephanie proceeds to go out with Doug AGAIN. She knows she needs a good alibi but Doug is unfazed, "everything’s gonna be fine… what are you doing after this? A movie night or a DVD night?” Now she's hooking up with him? Stephanie just keeps digging a bigger hole for herself. At least when Spencer was an ass to Lauren, he wasn’t her friend.

Both Stephanie and Doug are trying to put the blame on each other. When Brody Jenner calls Doug shady, he explains that Stephanie is the one chasing him and shows Brody her text messages. Who knows what to believe! At the Barbecue, everything comes undone. Everyone shuns Stephanie at the party and Brody calls her out on her sketchy behavior. She starts crying when she overhears what Doug is saying about her. He states that he was just trying to be a good person and befriend her: "She’s like a lost puppy. I want nothing to do with her." But then he makes a big mistake, asking what the problem is if LC was just his ex-fling. Lauren realizes he's an ass and goes to talk to Stephanie. Instead of taking the responsibility, Stephanie blames Doug and Brody, saying how they're trying to pull her and Lauren apart. Finally, LC sees the light. Note to Lauren Conrad: when EVERYONE tells you not to trust Stephanie, you should listen. As LC explains to Whitney Port when they're 'working' at People's Revolution, "Doug’s not worth fighting with a friend over, but apparently it was worth it to her."

Someone who is completely not worth fighting for is Spencer. Holly Montag surprises Heidi by inviting their mother to LA. When Heidi asks Spencer if he's excited, he answers, "I’m overwhelmed with excitement and happiness." He looks like he wants to jump out the window. Darlene Montag is a force to be reckoned with. Darlene and Spencer go out for lunch, probably because the girls are busy with jobs or lives. Finally, someone is there to put Spencer in his place. Their dinner went something like this:
Darlene: "I think you’re very controlling and manipulative…I think you’re condensing, rude and hostile right now."
Spencer: "I’ve done nothing wrong in my opinion."

How many times has he said that! Mrs. Montag voices her concerns to Heidi, explaining that Spencer is very rude and she doesn't like them living together. Heidi gets mad and admits that she didn’t want her mom knowing they were living together again since she knew this would happen. Darlene begins to cry, claiming that the two never used to fight like this and now she is scared of losing Heidi. First her best-friend, then her sister, now her mother, who is Spencer going to cut off next?
