The Hills (Season 5) | Ep. 17 'On to The Next' recap, aftershow and photos
Kristin and Brody meet for dinner and she questions whether Jayde will be angry if she finds out about it.
Brody says that they aren't talking at the minute and jokes that Kristin is being pretty flirtatious. She says that as far as she knows they are both single and should hang out together again.
Over at Heidi and Spencer's house, Heidi is babysitting Enzo again, much to the frustration of Spencer.
He says he still can't understand why she wants a baby, especially when she has her new puppies. Heidi replies that you can't compare the two and she is desperate to start a family.
"There's a we in a marriage, what about what I want? Your husband?" replies Spencer. "Maybe you're just selfish and only thinking about what you want." Heidi insists they need to start planning and asks what happens if she falls pregnant soon. "Is that a threat?" he responds.
Audrina meets Lo and confesses that she is planning to meet Justin but is torn because she still feels a spark. She says that he keeps bringing up the past and seems serious. Lo warns her to be careful.
Meanwhile, Kristin and Stacie are hanging out at her house and Kristin admits that she went on a date with Brody. "It was very easy, comfortable and fun," she explains. "But I still feel like he is torn between what he wants to do." Stacie questions whether it is a rebound, prompting Kristin to say she doesn't know.
Brody later takes Kristin to visit his mom, sparking a reminiscing session between the two women. His mom says they were "so cute together" and asks if there is anything going on between them now. They both say no.
Elsewhere, Spencer decides that a vasectomy is the only way to ensure that Heidi doesn't fall pregnant. He tells Charlie that the puppies didn't work and she wants a child more than ever. "I have no other choice," he says.
"I'm going to go to the source and make sure that baby can't happen," he tells the doctor. "I heard it's like a faucet. I can turn it off and turn it back on if I ever need to." The doctor says that the procedure can be non-reversible and makes Spencer squirm by showing him graphic pictures of the surgery. Spencer decides he can't go through with it.
That night, Kristen and Brody head to Playhouse with friends. Kristin asks what they are doing together and Brody says he doesn't know. He asks if she sees a future but she is unsure and admits she is scared of being hurt.
Their evening is later interrupted by the arrival of Jayde, who storms over to their table and asks what Brody is doing. She says they are on a break which means they shouldn't be dating other people. Their argument eventually descends into a shoving match and Kristin becomes involved despite Brody telling her to stay out of it.
"This is about you being a psycho," he tells Jayde. "That's exactly why we broke up." Brody and Kristin then decide to leave the club.
The next morning they reflect on the argument. Kristin brands Jayde a "freaking lunatic" but Brody wonders whether it is his own fault for being out with Kristin. "Why does it have to be so complicated"? he asks. "Nobody is even married!" Kristin again voices her concerns about getting hurt but Brody assures her that there is no chance of him and Jayde ever getting back together.
Spencer is finally forced to tell Heidi about his doctor's trip after Enzo rats him out. She's furious and accuses him of lying to her. "You knew I wanted kids when you married me so it sounds like marrying me was the biggest mistake you ever made," she says.
Later that evening, Audrina meets Justin for dinner. She admits that she has so much to say but doesn't even know where to start. She confesses that it would be great if they could work things out but that could take time. Justin seems unconvinced and remains quiet.
Audrina questions why he didn't go to Heidi's birthday and he says he wanted to avoid a conflict. She mentions that Kristin is now supposedly with Brody and that they attended the party together, prompting Justin to become standoffish.
He says that he shouldn't be here with her but suggests he came to "finalize something that's not there". "By you pushing me away, you pushed me to someone else and it got to the point where there are feelings there," he explains. "Kristin did something different to me than you and me had done."
"It's somewhere that I haven't really gone with somebody and I didn't want to think about the consequences... It was the first time I didn't have to worry about what Audrina was thinking," he adds, causing a visibly upset Audrina to leave the restaurant.

Erin Kaplan: One ‘Elle’ of a City girl!
Not that I’m addicted or anything (I SO am!) but I’m just loving Season 2 of The City following Whitney Port’s adventures in the big Apple.
One of the best couplings this season has to be New York socialite Olivia Palermo and Erin Kaplan, PR director at Elle Magazine.
The two come to blows in their first meeting, with feisty Olivia telling Erin if she wants a job done, to go and do it herself! (what ever happened to interns being nice!) Not Miss Palermo having grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth – something that riles Kaplan from the onset – and there begins the battle with Elle’s Creative Director Joe Zee fighting in Palermo’s corner to retain her as she’s “good for the magazine“. Whilst Kaplan feels she’s full of attitude and is more of a hindrance than a help. It makes for great TV and whilst Olivia comes across as ‘butter wouldn’t melt,’ you just know underneath those designer clothes we all want – she’s probably a rottweiler in waiting! Whereas Kaplan who comes across as completely ‘out to get’ Olivia, is actually quite nice deep down..no really!
Don’t believe me? Then read on for an interview with the lady herself below!
So you come across as being such a tough-cookie who takes no sh*t from anyone, is that the ‘real’ Erin, or do you add a little extra for the cameras?
“The bottom line is I want what’s best for this magazine and I have to protect the relationships I’ve built up and if Olivia had come in and done an amazing job right-off, I would have said that.”
Do you feel the editing of the show set out to deliberately depict the friction between you and Olivia?
“The programme shows some of the relationships between key people at Elle and it just so happens with Olivia being the new girl and me stepping in to help her there is more to show, but it’s such a small part of what we both do on a daily basis. If I’m portrayed as really hard on camera, that’s one side to things – but I’ve been frustrated at being portrayed as somebody who doesn’t care about what’s best for the magazine and that’s totally not how it is.”
Do you enjoy working with Olivia?
“I was skeptical of how well we would get on and work together, as I was un-sure if she was a team-player which is really important at the magazine. That’s why I was seen voicing my concerns about her to Joe Zee (Creative Dir for the magazine.) But if she does well for the magazine then I’m game for her to stay. I have to be the eyes and ears of Joe and so it’s in my best interests to get on with Olivia and make things work for the magazine. We’re all a team here.”

Freddie Fackelmayer: MTV Made Me A “Womanizing Jerk”
Freddie Fackelmayer, a 2005 graduate of the George Washington University, wants everyone to know that he’s not a “womanizing jerk.” Fackelmayer just finished up a stint as a boyfriend to reality television star Whitney Port on MTV’s “The City,” a a show about Port’s real life working in the fashion industry.“They can still make you look however they want,” Fackelmayer said “They made me be this sort of womanizing jerk, which is not really who I am,” he said. How does that work? According to Fackelmayer, MTV “never asked the cast to say or do anything, but the editing that followed skewed what actually happens.” He adds: “You know they cut it up [into] little bits and they pick what they want to make it as interesting as possible and it’s tough not to look like a jerk, I think.”
Fackelmayer said he became involved with the show after his younger brother met Port during filming in New York. Fackelmayer said producers approached his brother to get Freddie on the show as well.
"I was reluctant at first 'cause I was worried how it would affect work after being on one of these shows, but I gave it a shot," Fackelmayer said."[Whitney's] got a lot to say and a lot on her mind," Fackelmayer said. "She's just been doing this a lot longer than any of us and she knows to keep her two worlds entirely different. There's a Whitney and there's a Whitney on The City."
Fackelmayer, who grew up in Greenwich, Conn. and knew a couple of the cast members before filming began, went into filming prepared but said he still felt he was inaccurately portrayed.
It's not fun to look like a jerk on TV, it's not good to be a sloppy mess when you've got a real job," he said.
Fackelmayer who has been working for a commercial real estate company has another job he's like to add to his resume - author. Before the show, he started writing a novel about two young boys growing up in Greenwich, and said appearing on MTV has opened a lot of doors.
"I'm speaking with agents, and that's actually something that actually has been helpful, because agents, if you're a first-time writer, its really difficult to get your foot in the door, but I sort of skipped those really difficult first steps because most of them had heard of me," he said.
Fackelmayer said he has put his time on MTV behind him and has no qualms about his appearance on the show. He adds that although he and Port are no longer dating, they are still good friends."I'm not looking back on it, I don't regret it. I'm just focusing on what I've got going on now," Fackelmayer said. "And we got great ratings."
