Episode 27: No Place Like Home
Posted on May 7, 2008
Heidi walks into Brent Bolthouse’s office and gets down to business. “I know that you guys have been expanding everywhere… I wanna be a part of this company as much as I can, so I would love to get my hands in there and make myself as available to you as much as I can,” she says, “especially if that means travelling or relocating.” Who wouldn’t want to give more responsibility to such an eloquent person, who’s not at all using her job as a way to escape her problems?

Episode 26: A date with the past
Posted on April 29, 2008
Lauren, Lo and Audrina tour their new house, which is, as they exclaim five times, "so pretty!" Audrina will apparently be living in the guesthouse instead of in the main house with the others. "Are you going to be O.K. staying back here?" Lauren asks.

Episode 25: A new roommate
Posted on April 22, 2008
They made it out of Teen Vogue's closet, but Lauren and Whitney still have to fold clothes – as we open, they're doing just that at People's Revolution. As usual, they're discussing Lauren's social life as they work. Lauren's worried that Audrina's recent spate of outings with Heidi will lead to more home visits. "I can't tell [Audrina] what to do in her home," Lauren says, "but at the same time, it's my home as well, and I don't want people in there that I don't get along with."

Episode 24: Girls night out
Posted on April 15, 2008
Despite assuring Lauren last week that she had no intention of befriending Heidi, Audrina is all too quick to accompany her to lunch when Heidi shows up at Epic Records. Heidi is grateful and doesn't mind showing it. "You don't know how nice it is to be able to talk to you again," she gushes. She invites Audrina along on a girls' night out – "No boys, no Spencer," she declares. I'm sure that plan will work out perfectly.

Episode 23: Just be careful
Posted on April 9, 2008
As the show opens, Whitney is busy recapping her New York trip for Lauren, detailing all of her backstage duties. "That's like my ideal job," Lauren says wistfully. "I know," Whitney replies. "I mean, while I was doing it, I was like, 'Lauren would be loving this right now.'"

Episode 22: When Spencer finds out
Posted on April 8, 2008
Post–computer class. Lauren invites Steph and her fluffy bangs to her 22nd birthday bash. Steph clearly wants to go (who wouldn't, when the alternative is hanging out at home with Spencer?), but shockingly, she doesn't want to cause any drama. "Are you sure you really want me there? I mean, I am Spencer's sister," she says. "I don't care if you're Spencer's sister," Lauren replies. "I'm not gonna dislike someone because of their blood."

Episode 21: An unexpected friend
Posted on April 1, 2008
We open in Lauren's computer class at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. Her instructor is calling the roll. "Lauren? Hey, Lauren. Daniella, her last name is Usher? Hi. Stephanie Pratt?" Lauren's eyes widen as Spencer's sister makes a fashionably late entrance and takes a seat only two down from hers. "The first day, it's difficult for some people," the instructor says. Lady, you don't know how right you are.

Episode 20: Back to L.A.
Posted on April 1, 2008
"Sometimes going away gives you a different perspective on things. But when you come home, everything is different," Lauren says in her opening voiceover. She illustrates this point by letting Audrina know that she's over Brody now. Yep, she's totally over him. Doesn't care about his new "girlfriend" at all. Certainly won't cause a scene the next time she sees him. Nope.

Episode 19: Paris changes everything
Posted on March 25, 2008
We open in Paris! Lauren and Whitney get off the plane and meet their driver. "What do we want to do?" Whitney asks, foolishly assuming that they will have any free time. "You have your itinerary," the driver says. The girls consult it, see that they're supposed to pick up shoes for two of the Crillon Ball's debutantes… and decide to go to Alberta Ferretti and get their own gowns instead. Paris certainly hasn't changed their ability to follow directions!

Episode 18: Au revoir, L.A.
Posted on December 11, 2007
Teen Vogue. Lisa Love calls Whitney into her office and nonchalantly informs her that she’s going back to Paris to work at the annual Crillon Ball. I suspect she delivers her pronouncements so matter-of-factly just to see Whitney’s surprised facial expressions, and this remark earns her a good one: Whitney’s eyes almost pop out of her head. “What about Lauren? Is she coming?” Whitney asks. “I think Lauren had her chance to go to Paris,” Lisa replies.
