The Hills (Season 5) | Ep. 15 | 'Sorry Boo, Strike Two' | recap, photos and after show


Brody meets Jayde for a drink to say thanks for his birthday party and invites her to a gathering that Kristin is throwing at her beach house.
Jayde says that she doesn't want to go and doesn't want him going because they always end up fighting when they are around Kristin.

Brody thinks she is being silly, leading Jayde to suggest that maybe he needs to be "a little more understanding of the situation".
Over at Heidi and Spencer's new home, he's unimpressed that she is babysitting their neighbour's nephew Enzo again and looks sceptical when she insists that it's a fun way to spend time. He asks whether Holly is still drinking and going to Kristin's party.

"Holly seemed good. She said that ever since we met with her she has tried to change her life," replies Heidi. Spencer responds: "Your sister is a liar. When you are quitting something you don't put yourself in that environment."

Stephanie and Holly arrive at Kristin's house to help prepare for the party. Holly offers to make a "mean Jack and Coke" and jokes that Jack Daniels is her "one true love". Brody arrives later without Jayde, leading Kristin to ask if she would be upset to know that he has come to the party. Brody insists that Jayde knows they are just friends.

Kristin then receives a text message from Justin which says: "Sorry Boo, strike two. I'll call you later." She admits that she's angry with him for bailing on her and Brody wonders whether he is just playing games. "I'm done," says Kristin. "How about I'm done talking to [him]?"

She is even more frustrated when he decides to make an appearance later. She tells Brody she is annoyed with him and he says he will go and find out what he is playing at. He warns Justin that Kristin is not into mind games, leading Justin to question whether he might still have feelings for Kristin.

Brody laughs off the suggestion and heads inside, where he is surprised to find that Jayde has come to the party but didn't say hello to him.
Kristin later decides to talk to Justin. She says that the text message wasn't a funny joke and that if he hadn't come to the party she would have finished with him. He asks if she would have been happier if he hadn't come and after a brief pause, she says no.

Back in the house, an upset Jayde is venting her frustrations about Brody. "It's not fair that he can get drunk and do whatever he wants, talk to who he wants and be so rude to me," she says. "He just doesn't care." After overhearing part of the conversation, Brody confronts her and they argue in front of the other party guests.

He deems her "delusional" for telling people that he has yelled at her, while they both accuse each other of drinking too much. Eventually Brody storms off, telling his friends: "I'm done, it's over, I'm done. She can go and fight her own battles." Kristin appears happy and salutes Jayde as the model and her friends leave.

The next morning Kristin and Stacie reflect on the party. They question whether Holly has a drinking problem, while Kristin also admits that she had more fun with Brody than Justin. She jokes that it would be funny if she began dating Brody again but Stacie warns her that Jayde would be angry.

Over at Heidi's house, Holly finds herself confronted by her sister and Stephanie about her drinking.
She says that she never promised to stop altogether, adding: "I'm going to cut down but it's my choice. I'm an adult woman." She accuses Heidi of patronizing her but Heidi insists she would feel responsible if something happened and she hadn't said anything, leading Holly to break down in tears.

"We love you so much, Holly," says Stephanie. "We just think you need to to rehab." However, Holly abruptly gets up and leaves, claiming that she doesn't need this hassle.

At the same time, Brody and Jayde meet to discuss their own problems. Brody accuses Jayde of causing scenes and embarrassing him when they are out, while she says that Kristin is manipulative and likes causing problems. She adds that Kristin obviously still has feelings for him and questions whether he might still like her.

"I don't know," he answers. "I don't want to hook up with Kristin but I don't know if I have feelings for her. I haven't really explored that yet or gone down that road and got to know Kristin really well again. I haven't done that."
Jayde is upset that he can't say for certain whether or not he has feelings for his ex-girlfriend and stands up to leave. She informs Brody that he can call her if and when he wants to apologize and knows exactly what he wants in life.
