Previously on The Hills…

Lauren: (V.O.) My first year in LA was crazy. Who knew that so much could happen in one year? On top of juggling fashion school and a demanding internship, the last person I ever expected to hear from came back into my life.

Jason: Seeing as we live in LA now, start fresh.

Lauren: (V.O.) There were a lot of ups and downs.

Lauren: I apologized. What do you want?

Lauren: (V.O.) But now, Jason and I were stronger than ever.

Jason: I want to get a house so bad this summer, at the beach with you.

Lauren: (V.O.) And the two people we thought would be together forever, broke up.

Heidi: I’m done.

Lauren: (V.O.) School was over. Our internship was about to come to an end. And Whitney got an offer to intern for the summer at Teen Vogue in New York City. As for me, I was about to be faced with a decision that could change my life forever.

CUT TO: Beach House

Lauren and Jason pull up in Jason’s car to a beach house they are considering renting for the summer. They get out of the car and go out back on the deck, where they could see the view, including the ocean.

Jason: Not too shabby, huh? Wouldn’t this be a killer summer rental?

Lauren: It’s so nice. This is so crazy.

Jason: I was thinking I don’t know it’s been crazy and stuff. We’ve both been through a lot this year, up and down. It’s like these last few months have been really good. (She nods) And, I don’t know, I was thinking it’d be nice to do our own thing for a little while instead of being around people 24/7. (She nods again) I wanna get this place with you.

Lauren: Just you and me?

Jason: Just you and me.

Lauren: No I’m supposed to get two extra tickets and I can’t get ‘em and I got yelled at.

Audrina: How are you supposed to get ‘em?

Lauren: I don’t know. She won’t give ‘em to me. She’s like ‘No I can’t give ‘em to you unless you give me a name’.

Heidi: Did you try calling Lisa?

Lauren: I’ve been calling her. She’s not picking up. This is not fun. Come with me. Come on.

Lauren: For this summer?

Lisa: It’s this summer. It’s a great, great opportunity. You work uh, during Couture Week in Paris.

Lauren: Wow.

Lisa: Paris is probably the single most important place to ever be in the fashion business. And Newer thinks you can do it. You don’t have much time to think about it.

Lauren: Yeah.

Lisa: You really have to let me know right away. I think honestly, if you go to Paris, you won’t wanna come back.

Lauren: Hi.

Whitney: Hey. What happened?

Lauren: I’m not in trouble.

Whitney: Okay good.

Whitney: You are lying.

Lauren: Like Couture shows and like some huge ball that I can’t pronounce and…

Whitney: Oh my god.

Lauren: I know.

Whitney: You gotta do it, right?

Lauren: I don’t know ‘cause like I planned my summer with Jason.

Whitney: I know but this is Paris.

Lauren: I know but I’d be gone like all summer.

Whitney: Damn…it’s like my dream to make it to Paris. If you don’t do it, I’ll do it. Seriously, that’s like insane.

Lauren: It’s just like it’s like something like not, no joke, would like change your life.

Whitney: I’m sure your like heart is telling you to stay but…timing right? If it was only like…another summer. (It cuts to them leaving Teen Vogue) All right my car’s this way.

Lauren: I know but it’s like I already kinda had my summer planned it and it was like I wasn’t expecting it at all.

Heidi: Oh yeah. What about Jason? I thought you were gonna move in with him. You don’t think it would like jeopardize things with Jason, do you?

Jason: How was your day?

Lauren: Look at you relaxing.

Jason: I know I’m relaxing and waiting for you.

Lauren: I’m here.

Lauren: Yeah. No, no it sounds good.

Jason: You don’t sound too excited.

Lauren: No I am excited.

Jason: What’s wrong?

Lauren: Today Lisa Love offered me an internship for the whole summer.

Jason: Where?

Lauren: Paris.

Jason: Are you going?

Lauren: I don’t know like Paris isn’t something that you just immediately say no to, you know? Like Paris they only offer it to one of the interns.

Jason: I mean I’m gonna support you whatever you do. I mean…obviously you’ll make the right decision. I mean if you go, I’ll be happy for you. Whatever you do, I’ll be there for you so…You’ve always been there for me.

Jason: What are you gonna do?

Lauren: I don’t know.

CUT TO: Hillside Villas

Audrina and Heidi are sitting by the pool. Heidi is taking stuff off her phone.

Heidi: He is so off my list. (They laugh) I need a new guy.

Audrina: (Takes Heidi’s phone) So do I.

Heidi: See this is how I used to be. I used to like a guy for like a day and then I’d be sick of him. And then…God knows what happened with Jordan. I don’t know how I started liking him. That was a mistake.

Audrina: Yeah we had that conversation. I don’t…

Heidi: Yeah but I don’t know what happened there. And now I’m like getting back to my old self. I’m like ‘New guy, new guy’. This is how I think. In preschool, is how you’re gonna be the rest of your life. ‘Cause in preschool I was like ‘I love you, I love you, I love you’ and I used to have a new boyfriend every five minutes in preschool.

Audrina: Are you serious?

Heidi: Yeah and I used to make guys fight over me and stuff. So I’m gonna start doing that again. It worked then.

Audrina: You’re so over Jordan.

Heidi: I know I really am so over him. Now that I’m single I want to go out every single night.

Audrina: You’re going out every night this summer.

Heidi: I want to.
