The Hills: The Problem With the Pratts

What the heck is wrong with Spencer? He's a bit more welcoming to Heidi's mother than he was to her sister, but he still has that plastered on I-really-wish-you-weren't-here smile on his face. It turns out that Heidi's mom didn't even know her daughter had reconciled with Spencer. So mom decides it's a good idea to have a one-on-one lunch with Spencer. Why anyone would want to do that to themselves is beyond me.

In the end, Heidi's mom is so bothered by Spencer and his "control" over Heidi that she breaks down into tears. If that doesn't nudge you, what will?

Speaking of Pratts, Stephanie learned a harsh lesson. She went behind LC's back to date Doug, who threw her under the bus the first chance he got. I haven't seen such betrayal since ... last week! So, she ends up in tears, and LC supports her as much as she can without thinking, "That's what you get."

Will these two be able to salvage a friendship? Is Doug in the wrong, or is he excused because he's a guy? Will Heidi's mom's reaction to Spencer open her eyes? What do you think?

The Hills: Is a Reconciliation Coming?

So, Heidi's sister, Holly reaches out to Lauren and the two have lunch. Lauren is understandably apprehensive. She knows what happens to the siblings of Speidi when they befriend her, but she reluctantly agrees to remain in contact with Holly, despite her continuing feud with Heidi.

Holly and Heidi seem to think a reconciliation will follow. I doubt it. Although, Lauren made up with Audrina, I'm doubting whether the slate with Heidi will be wiped clean any time soon, especially as long as Spencer is on the sidelines manipulating his gal pal.

Next week, it looks like Lauren's time away gives Stephanie the opportunity to prove Brody right. Is she going to betray Lauren? If so, I can't take it. I hated it when Jen Bunny and Heidi kicked her to the curb for some dudes. I don't think I can sit through that again. I'll have to fly to L.A. and kick some butt. Yes, it's that serious.
