Cry Me a River

“TheHills” Season 6: Episode 4: “This is Goodbye”

The waterworks and sad faces were flowing in the recent episode of theHills. Heidi, who has had perma-sad face since she’s been with Spencer and he sucked the life out of her, was among the long faces that stained our screen this week.

But we begin with the sisters. Speidi‘s sisters have obviously been estranged from each other since Speidi ousted them from their lives. So, Holly and Stephanie reconnected over lunch, of course. There, they discussed being kicked out of their families lives and Stephanie resolves to leave Heidi and Spencer alone once and for all. It’s the last thing she can do.

In true Hills fashion, the following scene also takes place at lunch. This time, Heidi meets up with Kristin for a bite to eat. The good news is Heidi’s face is settling in and she actually doesn’t look bad. She doesn’t look real, but she doesn’t look bad per se.

Kristin confronts Heidi about Spencer’s bizarre behavior. She’s afraid that Spencer can lose his mind at any time because he’s already lost his marbles a long time ago. Heidi downplays it and says Spencer has always been that way. We believe he has, but the fact that she married him knowing this is scary. Maybe her father is correct when he says Spencer is not manipulating Heidi. Perhaps Heidi is equally to blame for their downward spiral.

Next we’re off to a more positive relationship when Audrina goes to visit Ryan Cabrera in the studio. He’s singing about something but is excited when his girlfriend drops by. They hug, but it really doesn’t matter since they’re having problems in real life. Even though they’re breakup hasn’t been confirmed or denied this time, where there’s smoke there’s fire.

In this episode, Audrina invites Ryan to the club with “everyone”. Ryan doesn’t like everyone, so he declines to go. “You understand though,” he says more hoping than knowing. While Audrina may understand, she gets sad face realizing this Ryan and Brody thing kinda sucks. Brody is clearly the reason Ryan didn’t want to go, especially considering the kid loves a party.

Although it seems like no man in the world- other than maybe George Clooney- should feel secure enough to let their girlfriend roam solo around Brody Jenner, Ryan did. And at the party Brody, the ultimate panty dropper, approached Audrina. But Audrina realized she was just another pawn in the producer’s this player’s game, and told Brody to back off once and for all. She said she had a boyfriend and Brody just wanted what he can’t have.

Audrina has never spoken more true words. After all, if Brody wanted Audrina, he could have had her last season when Audrina was on him like white on rice.

How’s that sad face for you? We’re not sure if Spencer shed a tear in this scene or not, but it didn’t matter because it was written all over his face. He didn’t have to say a word. But unfortunately he did. And the words came at Audrina‘s expense. After having a heart to heart with his former BFF, Brody, and emotionally revealing how much his life has changed, ever so randomly Spencer started verbally attacking Audrina when she came over to ask him where Heidi was. He called her the “lamest f****** girl in this club”, blah blah blah.

Brody told Spencer he has no reason to attack her and he’s lost his marbles. The friendship looks like it’s over, yet again.

Brody and Spencer‘s friendship isn’t the only one on thin ice. Kristin and Heidi met up again, along with Audrina. When they try to confront Heidi about Spencer again, Heidi says, “all guys are a little bit controlling.” When they stress how much Heidi has changed, Heidi gets extremely defensive and says, “You don’t know me. Spencer didn’t change me…I changed me!” We’re not sure that that’s any better. Cue the sadface.

One relationship that is not suffering is Kristin and Brody‘s. They made out at the club, before leaving together.

Heidi and Kristin chat in the club and Heidi explains her crystals to Kristin. It’s clear they’ve lost their marbles and apparently they’ve replaced them with crystals.

Holly and Stacie are finally sharing screen time together, since we know it is them, and not Stacie and Kristin who are real best friends. Holly tells Stacie and Bradley that she’s ready to beat Spencer down.

MTV wants you to think Kristin and Brody shared a lot more than a kiss the night before. He wakes up at her house. But that big lightening bolt makes us remember that he really has a thing for another petite blonde. Still, Kristin tells Brody she likes what they have going on, whatever that is, but Brody says he’s enjoying being single. Kristin says she is too.

Kristin has everyone over her house to have a Speidi intervention, without Speidi. They all resolve to cut Heidi and Spencer out of their lives, because, frankly, there’s nothing else they can do. Lo notes that at some point they went from a little cookoo to needing to undergo mental evaluation or a 50/50 hold. The only thing they haven’t done is shaved their heads. But it looks like they’re heading down that dangerous path.

Stephanie is up for distancing herself from her brother and Heidi. But she does shed many tears.

Holly is not as quick to agree to cut Speidi out because she and her sister used to be very close and it’s still hard for her to come to grips with all of this. She too let’s the water come down her face.
