The Hills (Season 5) | Ep. 14 | 'Old Habits Die Hard' - Recap, Aftershow and 19 Photos
Kristin meets Lo and admits that she was "a little upset" that Justin never showed up at Brody's birthday party.
She insists that she still sees "a good, sweet guy" in him despite what everybody else has been telling her, but claims that she won't let him push her around.
"Clearly Audrina was chasing him for years. I'm not going to do that," she says. "It's like, 'Fine. If you want to play this game, let's go!'"
Over at Audrina's house, Stephanie arrives and Audrina reveals that she has been on a date with Derek and is planning to meet him on Saturday night. However, she confesses that Justin is still texting her. She reads his latest message which says, "Is it really over? I can't believe it".
Kristin returns to her parents' home in Laguna Beach and chats with her dad and stepmom about her life in LA. She says she has been seeing a lot of Brody and also admits that she has been dating Justin. She explains his previous relationship with Audrina and reveals she has been out on his motorcycle.
"He's cool but he's kind of a flake. He has a lot of baggage with the whole Audrina thing," she explains. "He's not someone you would take home to dad, I guess."
Elsewhere, at a Bolthouse event, Spencer warns Heidi that Holly is already drunk. Heidi and Stephanie tell Holly that she needs to stop drinking and calm down but she ignores them.
The next day, the pair meet to talk about Holly. Heidi defends her sister, insisting she just had too much to drink, but Stephanie warns her that there could be a bigger problem.
"Holly was out of control," she says. "That was like some other problem is going on in her life that she needed to get so drunk that she would black out." Heidi is hesitant about getting involved but Stephanie says she needs to say something.
Kristin arrives home to Malibu to find Justin is cooking her dinner. He apologises for missing the party and Kristin says that she told her dad about him. He jokes that it is a big step but she insists that she isn't looking for a boyfriend. Justin retaliates by saying that he has doubts about her too, explaining: "You're a little bit of a wildcard which is good for a guy like me."
Meanwhile, Audrina and Derek are having drinks at a pub. She asks if Justin knows they are out together and Derek says that he called him but never got an answer. He says that Justin "just disappears" sometimes and questions whether Audrina is over him. She insists that she is and that Kristin will have to learn about Justin's behaviour on her own.
The next day, Heidi tells Spencer that she is not sure how to approach the subject of drinking with Holly, who is late for their lunch.
When she finally arrives, Heidi says that she is a "little bit scared" that Holly doesn't think she has a problem. Holly says that last night was normal for her which worries Heidi. Spencer adds that she should have been impressing the crowd at the party but she might not be taken seriously if she drinks heavily.
Holly realises she needs to make a change, saying: "It's true. I need to make moves and alcohol should not be the number one love in my life. But we have had many great years together and I think it's time to break up for good."
Over at Brody's condo, Kristin arrives and asks where Jayde is. Brody says they never actually split up, just threaten it. Kristin goes on to question him about Justin. He says that he is a "good friend" but warns her that Audrina will be coming after her. Kristin insists that she is not trying to be spiteful and she never thought she would end up liking Justin. Brody jokes that it is a "match made in heaven".
Later that night, Justin and Audrina meet at a hotel to chat about their situation. Audrina says that she wants to stop the awkwardness between them but admits it was hard seeing him and Kristin together. Justin insists that he isn't dating Kristin and the pair are just hanging out.
"A big part of me will always have feelings for you and be that guy for you," he said. "I don't know what to do or feel or say. I would never be able to say anything was better than Audrina Patridge ever in my life."
Justin also says that he is unhappy about Audrina's relationship with Derek and wonders how she would react if their roles were reversed, leading Audrina to agree to stop seeing Derek.
