That’s the focal point of this drama-filled episode.
In her continuing efforts to forge a friendship with her former flame, Jason Wahler, star Lauren Conrad wasn’t exactly expecting to learn that …
Jason drops bombs #1 and #2 during a lunch date with LC, inviting her to a housewarming party thrown by himself and his new gal. She accepts.
Only when Lauren and Audrina Patridge attend said party do they learn the full extent of Jason’s relationship with Katja Decker-Sadowski.
The big moment comes when a drunk frat guy offers a toast – with a plastic cup of beer, just pumped from a keg – to celebrate the engagement of Wahler.
Lauren’s eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.
Her heartbreak and complete shock evident, LC feigns happiness for a time, though later she confides to Jason that “I think you’re being an idiot.”
After all, he’s only 20 years old and still in a recovering alcoholics program that recommends he not date anyone… let alone get engaged to someone.
A calm Jason Wahler just rolls with his ex-girlfriend’s criticism, though, and is clearly happy with Katja Decker-Sadowski, a tennis player at USC.
The highlight of the night came when a clearly jealous Katja interrupted Lauren’s during her heart-to-heart with Jason on the deck, heaving herself on Wahler’s lap in one of the most awkward moments in Hills history. What a bitch!
Left: Jason and fiancee Katja Decker-Sadowski. Right: LC and Whitney.
The next day, Lauren Conrad reflected on the events with a cooler head, saying “this could have been me … but as much as I love Jason, I’m glad it’s not!”
She also noted that she’s dreamed about the day gets engaged and it doesn’t involve plastic cups of beer and Bob Marley posters. Same here, Lauren!
In other news, Whitney Port drops the ball a little at Teen Vogue when she is in charge of a photo shoot for a band, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, but goes out and parties with them late the night before and everyone shows up late. Fortunately, her editor, Lisa Love, only gives our girl a slight reprimand and tells her to step it up.
Lastly, the loathesome Spencer Pratt is not psyched about registering for wedding presents. Or telling his parents that he’s engaged to Heidi Montag. The episode ends with Spence’s sheepish admission that his folks don’t even know… despite the fact that he’s a media whore who appears on a well-known reality show!
