90210 s04e14 Episode Script
Mama Can You Hear Me?
Previously on 90210 You cheated on her.
No, I didn't.
Okay, Holly snuck in and attacked me.
Naomi walked in before I could push her away.
Oh, my God.
Naomi, I told you, I didn't cheat on you.
I believe you, about Holly, I do.
It's just that it doesn't matter because I know that I need to change, and it doesn't have anything to do with you.
SILVER: Is everything okay with your dad? NAVID: He's turning himself in.
With what he has on my uncle, they're both going away for a long time.
Now that everything's out in the open, I was hoping we could start over.
I'm still seeing Greg.
You know that song of mine that you sampled? Yeah.
It's about my daughter, Maisy.
Do you know it's been almost three years since I gave her away? It is so nice to finally meet you.
SILVER: She has your eyes.
GREG: Thanks, but she's adopted.
The birth mother was a local girl still in high school, and she just wanted her baby to get a good home.
That's how we got Maisy.
Vanessa was there the night of the accident.
She's been here every day since.
ANNIE: Vanessa said that a black car hit you, but the mechanic said that your bike was covered in maroon paint.
Yes.
Help, please.
There's been an accident.
It was a hit-and-run.
I have decided to go to Carnegie Mellon.
Here is to fresh starts.
Oh, this isn't my I.
D.
Uh WOMAN: Is it someone you know? Clare Hallenberg.
No.
I don't know her.
(country music playing) (groans, sighs) (crying) Somebody kill me, please! This is the soundtrack to my nightmares.
Hey, hey, hey, as a freeloader, I know I can't complain, but Austin has been playing that broken-hearted country crap for a week.
Ah, the poor guy-- he hasn't been the same since Naomi broke up with him.
(door opening) Hey, buddy.
Yu-- No, he did not just finish my Oaty Nuts! Guys, we have to do something, okay? It is not right for someone to stew in their sadness like this.
I don't think that dude has taken a shower in more than a week.
(sighs) You know what? Maybe I should just leave for a little while until he starts feeling better.
Yeah, maybe I should find another couch to sleep on, too.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You guys aren't going to leave me here alone with him, are you? Dixon, my heart was just broken, okay? And I was just beaten within an inch of my life.
My constitution cannot handle this level of country music.
Okay, I know he's my roommate, and he's my responsibility, so, I'll-I'll go handle him, okay? (scoffs) Hey, Austin? (groaning) (clearing throat) Dude, you have become such a workaholic.
My new boss makes TheDevil Wears Prada chick look like a kindergarten teacher.
Well, that might have something to do with the fact that you got caught having sex with a sailor in a giant snow globe at a party that you were supposed to be overseeing.
Hey, I have learned my lesson, and I'm never gonna let a guy come between me and my success again.
Unlike some people-- (coughs) Annie.
What are you saying? That I'm letting Liam get in the way of my life? That's crazy.
Oh, then why are you still here? I mean, seriously, don't we have some big going-away party for you? All we're saying is, if you're here to stay close to your ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend, that's weird.
What about the fact that she hasn't left his side since the accident? Or that her wallet was full of fake I.
D.
's? Oh, a girl with a fake I.
D.
Shocker.
I'm serious, guys.
It's creepy.
IVY: Yeah, you know what? You going through another girl's purse kind of makes you the creepy one.
(gasps) God Ooh Shoot.
I hope those weren't for my mom.
She hates sloppiness.
It's all right, Holly.
I'm sure it was just an accident.
That was an accident, too.
Yeah, you know what? I really don't feel like witnessing a murder this morning.
Your move, sweetie.
Um I can't believe you let her get away without a severe limp.
Oh, following my old impulses for revenge never got me anywhere.
That's why I'm looking for a fresh start.
Which is not going to happen if I engage in petty rivalries.
I don't think Holly got the memo.
Doesn't matter.
The new Naomi is about turning the other cheek.
But she stole your boyfriend.
'Cause she thinks I stole her mother.
Oh, my God, that's it.
Holly is Holly because of the relationship she has with her mother.
If I fix things between them, then I won't have to deal with a nemesis on campus, I'll probably get a promotion, and then being New Naomi will be super easy! Finito! Well, I hope you're right.
'Cause you can't keep turning the other cheek forever.
You're going to run out of cheeks.
(gasps, laughs) Hey.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
You know that agency I just signed with? Yeah.
Just got me my dream gig.
Nick, that's amazing.
I'm going to Afghanistan.
Whoa! Where you going? Afghanistan.
It's a combat photojournalism assignment.
You're looking at the next Robert Capa.
Who? He's the greatest war photographer of all time.
My personal hero.
Oh.
I didn't know your hero is a war photographer.
Oh, he was till he was blown up by a land mine in 1954.
Which would then make him dead.
Hey, there's worse things in life.
Like not following your passion.
Don't worry.
I'll be fine, okay? Mm-hmm.
I'll see you tonight.
Bye.
Bye.
That place was awesome.
Yeah.
You know, sometimes I forget there's a whole world outside my little campus cocoon.
Yeah, I figured you must get so tired of running into the same students and people you know all the time.
Yeah, being a lit teacher-- it's kind of like being a rock star.
Must be how I got a table for tonight at Chez Paris.
Ooh, how fancy.
What's the occasion? Well, soft-shell crabs are in season.
Oh, and I'm divorced.
Believe me, it's a huge relief for the both of us.
And we've even agreed to share custody of Maisy.
You don't really have to tell me that stuff.
You know, your family situation is-is your business.
Well, maybe I'd like to make it your business.
My ex wants to move to Connecticut, and it got me thinking-- my contract with CU is up this semester.
I've got an offer from Columbia University for a tenure track position, and I'm considering it if you'll come with me.
Wait.
Are you asking me to move to New York? I understand.
Yeah, it's a, it's a bigger change for you.
Um, our relationship is new, and you have friends here, so No, no-- you're right, I would miss my friends, but, look, if a relationship with you means leaving them behind, then New York, here I come.
Really? (giggles) If I knew this stupid food truck was on the other side of the planet, I might have worn different shoes.
Look, this is the best Tex-Mex in L.
A.
, okay? Step one in my plan to make Austin feel better.
The GPS says it's, like, 27 yards away, but I don't see it.
Whoa, okay.
What? Uh, don't freak out, but over there is Silver with New Guy, okay? Let's just keep walking.
Remember what happened at the fashion show.
No, no, no, no, I refuse to be a crazy ex-loser-boyfriend like Hopalong Sad Boy back there.
No, Silver and I can be friends.
Greg.
Hey.
I just want to let you know that we're 100% cool.
You know, I don't want there to be any old boyfriend- new boyfriend weirdness.
Glad to hear it.
Wait a minute.
Have we met? You look really familiar.
We gotta go.
Well, so much for you and Silver being friends, yeah? Well, I couldn't have been nicer.
That wasn't easy, considering how badly I want to stab him in the face with a fork.
VANESSA: Coffee? Sure.
Thank you.
Ooh (laughs) (both moan happily) Ooh I like that one.
When'd you get it? Uh, that is a long and boring story.
(chuckles) Hmm.
Maybe (sighs) but I still want to hear it.
I want to know everything about you.
(laughs) Well, I'm not that interesting.
You know what? We should take a trip together.
Best way to get to know someone is by traveling with them.
Oh.
I'll think about it.
That's a maybe.
Maybe's good.
(chuckles) Hey.
Annie.
(clears throat) I thought you, uh, left for Carnegie Mellon.
I was going to, but the semester had already started, and I had too many loose ends to tie up in L.
A.
So what can I do for you? Um Well, I, I just came by for Dixon, actually.
He, he really wants to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and I know you have a copy.
Yeah, man, uh, it's in a box somewhere.
I'll see if I can find it.
ANNIE: Great.
I thought you might be looking for this Clare.
Liam never mentioned you were a klepto.
I accidentally took the wrong purse because we have the same one, remember? Yeah, I guess we have the same taste in a lot of things.
(scoffs) Look, I don't know which one of those I.
D.
's is the real you, but I do know that you are a liar.
Oh, well, that's one thing you know.
Now here's another.
You're messing with the wrong girl.
You have no idea what I'm capable of.
(scoffs) You can't win.
You can only get hurt.
Well, Liam is the only one who I am worried about getting hurt, which is why I'm not telling him about any of this as long as you do the best thing for everyone and go back to wherever the hell you came from.
Stay away from Liam.
Found it.
Great.
Dixon will be so happy.
You guys have a nice day.
Awards season is the Super Bowl of the Beverly Hills event planning business.
I've got three parties in one night, so it's all hands on deck.
Absolutely, you can count on me.
I know I can, which is why I'm about to give you a very big assignment.
Now, it's all top secret, but the American Film Critics Society is honoring Mitchell Nash with Performer of the Year tomorrow night.
Seriously? I'm in love with that guy.
Yes, well, you and half the world.
Let's stay professional, shall we? Yes, of course, I'm sorry.
Just Mitchell Nash.
Wow.
Okay, so I'll be popping back and forth with all my events, so I'm going to need you to be point on this one.
Can you handle that? HOLLY: Mom are we going to go to lunch or what? I've been out in the lobby for a half hour already.
Well, sweetheart, Naomi and I are still working.
I know that's a foreign concept for you.
Rachel Mm-hmm.
You said you need all hands on deck tomorrow night.
Yes.
Maybe Holly could work the party, too.
Ooh, I don't think that's the best idea.
Oh, really, what a shock.
I thought all of Naomi's ideas are brilliant.
I'm sure she'll do a great job.
Besides, you're her mother-- she has event planning in her DNA-- and I could really use the help.
Okay.
If it means that much to you.
Congratulations, Holly, you're Naomi's new assistant.
Her what? Uh, assistant? Tha-That's not what I meant.
Well, she's your idea, so she's your responsibility.
Now, sweetheart, let's make this a short lunch.
I'm sure Naomi has a lot of work for you to do.
Great, I work for you now.
(sighs) Guess you got your revenge after all.
Oh, my God, I swear I have never seen you work this hard.
You said that yesterday.
Yeah, well, I'm still getting used to it.
I have to run this huge Hollywood awards party tonight, and I brilliantly convinced my boss to hire my archnemesis as my assistant.
Whoa-whoa-whoa-- Holly is your new assistant? What is that, some sort of death wish or something? I was trying to do the right thing and it bit me in the ass.
So, is this a big event with, like, a whole red carpet and everything? Yes, movie stars, TV stars, models.
Oh, my God, I have a stomachache.
Hey, by any chance, do you need a photographer for the event? Not me-- um, I'm actually asking about Nick.
I would just really love for him to get a job that's actually in town, and he's really Yeah, he's hired.
Are you serious? Mm-hmm.
Oh, that's amazing.
On one condition-- he has to get a shot of me with Mitchell Nash.
Okay, I'm sure that will not be a problem.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Here you go.
I picked up the name tags from the printer and I got you a cup of coffee that I didn't even spit in boss.
Thank you.
Now I need you to seal all the gift cards into envelopes.
How stupid do you think I am? I am not licking booby-trapped envelopes.
They're self-adhesive, and, Holly, we have to trust each other if we're gonna be working together.
Is that why you won't take a sip of the coffee? (sighs) (anxious laugh) I lied about the spit.
Holly, look your mother thinks that you have a sense of entitlement.
Don't you want a chance to prove her wrong? Don't you want to show her what you're capable of? My mother does have a pretty low opinion of me, but I'm sure she knows I can stuff an envelope.
Okay, fine, fine, what if I gave you a bigger job? Would you trust me then? I'm listening.
I want you to go to the hotel tonight, pick up Mitchell Nash, and bring him directly to the red carpet.
Why would you give up your chance to hang out with a movie star? Because, once your mom sees how you handle the talent, she'll finally get a sense of what you're capable of.
Why do you care what my mother thinks of me? Because I'm trying to be a good person, but you keep getting in my way.
And I'm your boss, so stop asking so many questions.
Hey, brother, can I get two beers over here, please? You know I don't drink, right? They're both for me.
Do you really think drinking is going to help you get over the breakup? That's what I've been trying to tell him.
Dix, I know you think it's your job to cheer me up, but it's not.
Okay, you're just my roommate.
This isn't on you, so just stay out of my way and let me handle my heartbreak the way a real man should-- by getting drunk off my ass and feeding the pelicans.
Feeding the Whoa, uh, Annie, uh, w-what's going on? Uh, just looking for Liam.
Okay, um, look, I'm going to tell you this out of love, okay? You got to let Liam go.
You don't want to end up like Austin, desperately clinging onto a dead relationship.
I promise you, I'm fine.
(sighs) Good, good, 'cause trying to cheer up heartbroken people is exhausting.
(laughs) Hey, how's it going? Good, good.
Uh, so, have you seen Vanessa anywhere? She took off pretty quickly.
I didn't get a chance to ask where.
How's Liam? Did he take it okay? He seemed fine.
He was pretty excited to be going out of town with her.
Wait, what? Vanessa left with Liam? They took off a little while ago on his motorcycle.
(sighs) Annie, are you okay? ANNIE: I have to find out where they went.
Try to remember.
Annie, you need to calm down, okay? Vanessa did not force Liam to go with her.
He seemed pretty excited.
Yeah, but that's because he has no clue what he's dealing with.
I need to find him.
I found multiple I.
D.
's in her purse, okay? Vanessa is not even her real name.
Okay, is a fake I.
D.
really such a big deal? It's more than that.
When I took his motorcycle in to get fixed, the mechanic said he found maroon paint all over his bike.
Vanessa drives a maroon car, so maybe she was the hit-and-run driver, all right? Why did she lie and why is she still hanging around? Well, maybe there's a good explanation.
We all have a past, right? I mean, if you Googled me, you'd crap yourself.
You're right.
She said I have no clue who I'm dealing with.
I should do my homework.
Annie, wait.
Okay, maybe Vanessa is trouble.
But what if you're wrong? If you're still hung up on Liam and she's not chopping him up into pieces somewhere, you'll push him away further than ever.
Okay, I'm sorry, this is incredible-- are you kidding me? Never in my life did I think I was actually gonna be standing anywhere near a red carpet.
Yeah, it's, it's good, I guess.
I didn't realize you were so into this thing.
Uh, uh, check it out-- girl who won the reality show where they eat live rats.
Naomi, everything looks great.
I want to thank you for all of your hard work.
Don't thank me yet.
Did you pick up Mitchell Nash? I sent Holly.
Holly? You, you She'll be here any minute.
This is a very big night for my company, and you're risking all to make peace with Holly? You know, you need to understand that there are some relationships that are just not worth the trouble.
Oh! Finally! Where is he? HOLLY: I went to the hotel, and they said Mitchell Nash wasn't staying there.
Well, of course not.
Do you think he stays under his own name? Oh, my God, I forgot to give Holly Mitchell's fake name.
Look, stop covering for her, Naomi.
I know my daughter.
She's never learned responsibility because she never had to, but you do, so fix it-- now.
(country music playing) Are you kidding me? Now you? Shh.
It's strangely soothing.
(chuckles) Okay.
(lowers volume of music) Well, I got Lee's orange chicken.
I hope it's still your favorite.
Yes, now and forever.
Wow, you really do know how to make me feel better.
(both chuckle) Thanks.
I mean, a lot of things change, but you can always count on Lee's orange chicken.
Thanks.
I really am glad we're friends again.
Me, too.
I mean, after everything we've been through, it's kind of unbelievable.
Yeah, breakup, the whole Silver thing.
Being a pregnant teenager when it just ruins your life and doesn't get you a reality show.
Yeah, well, you seem like you're in a much better place.
(laughs) I really am.
I mean, whenever I get sad about giving away Maisy, I just try to imagine this little three-year-old with a happy family.
Me, too.
I couldn't have gotten through it all without friends, especially without you.
(sighs) You should go talk to Silver.
What am I gonna do-- go up to her house and try to convince her how important it is to be friends? Nah, 'cause what if it's too late? I mean, it's never too late to get it all back.
Look at us.
(country music playing) Dude, you do not need another beer.
You're absolutely right.
I need ten.
Look, I know what you're going through, okay? Last year I was with Ivy.
Things were going great, and then some crazy English dude with his pants all rolled up to his knees came and sabotaged the relationship just to get revenge on Ivy's mom.
Look, I lost a girl that I really, really cared about, all because of some evil jerk.
What did you do? Punched him in the face.
Whew! It felt so sweet.
I could never punch a girl in the face, though even Holly.
Well, maybe you don't have to.
I got a better plan.
Thanks.
All right, it's not a real road trip until you have a beach dog.
(chuckles) You okay? Mm.
Can I be honest with you? Beats lying to me.
(laughs) I'm sorry, I'm joking.
Well, you said you wanted to get to know me.
Maybe one of the reasons I've been holding back is because I don't think things are over with you and Annie.
I told you, Annie and I talked, and it's over.
It's in the past.
Well, the past has a way of coming back whether we want it to or not.
Not for me.
(sighs) Look, this is the relationship I want to be in.
If there's something standing in the way of that, you need to tell me.
No.
I need to show you.
(knocking on door) Uh, Silver isn't here.
She ran out to pick up some dinner.
Oh, okay, well She should be back soon, so if you want to wait inside Yeah.
I'm sorry about how awkward it was yesterday.
I hope I didn't freak you out.
No, not at all.
But Silver seemed pretty upset.
Yeah, I noticed.
Breakups are hard.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Yeah, I just got divorced.
Oh.
Yeah, but yesterday-- it wasn't all your fault.
We were talking about moving to New York.
I think running into her ex at that moment was just the final straw.
Oh, you're, you're moving to New York together? Uh, you know, I should let Silver tell you.
No, no, it's cool, I mean (chuckles) By now, you and I are practically old friends.
Uh I know this might sound crazy, but I'm, I'm sure we met before.
Hey, what are you doing here? (phone ringing) It's my three-year-old.
Yeah, not only does she know how to use cell phones, but she has the all-time high score on that, uh, the bird game.
Hi, Maisy.
(Silver chuckles) Aw, I miss you too.
(whispering): Maisy? Navid, we need to talk.
About you dating the guy who adopted Adrianna's baby? I can date whoever I want to date.
D-Does he know that you're friends with the biological mother of his child? Ade and I are not friends.
Okay, but you cannot be in her child's life and not tell her, Silver.
Maisy is not her responsibility.
She gave her up for adoption, remember? Look, this isn't even about Ade.
It's about you not being able to come to terms with the fact that I have moved on.
No, that's not true.
I just think you should be honest.
Oh, you want to talk about honesty? It was your lies that ruined our relationship, Navid.
And I will regret that for the rest of my life.
But you can make a different choice, Silver.
Tell Greg and Adrianna the truth.
I'm not going to let some random coincidence get in the way of my relationship with Greg.
Oh, and what am I supposed to do? No, I-I know you and I have been through so much together, but I still care about Ade.
Well, I guess you have a decision to make, too, 'cause if you really want to be my friend, you'll stay the hell out of it.
Nice chatting.
Uh, a-absolutely.
I mean, I, I, I don't even have to think about it, uh It was a pleasure.
Yeah.
Count me in, absolutely.
Great, great meeting you.
Hey.
Hey.
Fun party, huh? Uh, it is now-- that was Mike Strater.
He is a documentary filmmaker.
Right, right, he made that amazing film about the, um, the Japanese earthquake.
Right? Yeah.
He's making a film next year about the genocide in Rwanda.
He asked me to come along and be his still photographer.
Wow.
That's incredible, right? I mean, this party wasn't a waste of time after all.
A waste of time? I'm sorry, I had to pull a lot of strings with Naomi just to get you this job.
I mean, this is an amazing gig.
Yeah, I know, it was so sweet of you, but, look, you know me well enough to know that this kind of party is not my thing.
Not your thing.
Okay, well, you know what's not exactly my thing, Nick? Waiting around by the phone to find out whether my boyfriend's been killed in some war zone.
(car sputtering) Okay.
Aah oh! (gasping) That car Sucks, I know.
My mom says if I want something nicer, I have to earn the money to buy it myself.
She hates me.
She doesn't hate you.
She wants to push you to be great like she is.
Yeah, by buying me a car that has to be rolled down a hill to start? Okay, you know what? My parents bought me everything I ever wanted, and they didn't give a crap about me.
Your mother actually cares about you, and that turd on wheels is her way of saying, "I love you, Holly, you can accomplish anything.
" (scoffs) Sorry.
NAOMI: Excuse me.
Hi, we were told this is where we could find Napoleon Schoenberg.
Oh, thank God.
Mr.
Schoenberg is by the pool.
Can you please get him out of here before he drinks that, too? Thank you.
(gasps) Go.
Hello, girls.
Can I buy you a drink? You are both over 18, right? Just asking.
Actually, Mr.
Nash We're here to take you to the awards show.
Well, you took your bloody time about it, didn't you? I may have had three drinks while I was waiting for you.
Oh! Oh, okay, okay.
It's up here on the left.
This is it.
Well, the house isn't much, but the tire collection in the front yard is pretty impressive.
(chuckles) I have to tell you something, and I'm afraid if I do, you're not going to look at me the same way again.
Vanessa, you can tell me anything.
I'm the one who hit you that night on the motorcycle.
(wry laugh) What? Look, I wanted to tell you, but I was so scared.
You lied to the police.
You told 'em it was a hit-and-run.
I had to.
Look, I've been in trouble with the law before, and if they knew what I did or who I was Wait, so you're on the run from the police, you almost killed me, and you, you, what, brought me here to finish the job? No, I want to tell you the truth.
Yeah, well, it's a little late for that.
Liam, wait.
ANNIE: Hey! Get away from him! Annie, what the hell are you doing here? Annie, what the hell are you doing here? How did you find us? I used the GPS tracking on your motorcycle.
What? Liam, I Googled her, okay? Not only did she lie about the hit-and-run driver, but she also has a criminal record.
I needed to make sure you were okay.
I saved his life that night.
Clearly I'm not trying to kill him.
Really? 'Cause when I told you to get out of town, she dragged you out here.
Who knows what she was going to do? (sighs) I brought you out here because this is where I grew up.
Yeah.
My parents didn't want me, so I bounced around until I wound up here.
And because I was in trouble with the law, when I hit you that night, I had to lie.
But I couldn't just run away.
I had to make sure you were okay.
That's why I stayed with you in the hospital.
Plus, it didn't really seem like you had anyone else anyway.
You should have told me the truth.
I've done a lot of things that I regret, and I can't change where I'm from or what I've done, but I'm trying to start a new life.
Somehow the past just keeps coming back.
Look, if that's a deal breaker I get it.
I don't know what to say.
I know.
She's crazy.
I'm talking about you.
You Internet-stalked Vanessa and you tracked me? That's nuts.
You heard what she said, Liam-- she lied.
Because she's trying to move on.
So that makes it okay with you? No Look, you were right about the accident.
I appreciate your concern.
I'm pissed that she lied, but everybody's got stuff they're trying to leave behind.
Like us? I'm sorry.
I couldn't just sit back and wait for something terrible to happen.
Yeah, well, I can take care of myself.
You're not my responsibility anymore, Annie.
And I'm not yours.
Whoo! (laughs) Come on.
(both clucking) Boom! Ha-ha! See? Eggs and toilet paper.
That's how we cure a heartache where I'm from.
Through vandalism? Ah, a good rain and it'll all wash away.
Besides, how do you feel? Man, I feel great.
I feel great.
Thanks, man.
No, no, no, no, seeing "Holly eats doody" in shaving cream on her sorority house-- that's all the thanks I need.
Well, hey, we got one egg left.
Do you think I can hit Holly's window from here, huh? Uh Well, considering your current drunken state, I would say no, but it's always worth a try, so, uh All right, buddy.
Come on, let's go.
What the hell kind of egg was that? Dude, that was a rock.
Come on, let's go.
(crowd cheering) NAOMI: Oh.
(chuckles) Honestly, ladies I can take it from here.
Okay (Naomi and Holly gasp) Is everything okay here? Yes, uh, Mitchell is just really exhausted from his international flight.
Uh-huh.
Oh, Danny Boy Okay, well, let's go.
Go, go, go.
Come on.
We're walking, we're walking.
I'm letting go, that's right.
Come on.
No, we're still walking.
Come on.
(vomits) Oh, oh, n-no.
RACHEL: Oh, please.
Really? Really? Seriously? (gasps) How was I supposed to know that he was going to be wasted because we showed up a little late? Well, open a magazine.
Everybody knows he's the biggest party animal in Hollywood.
Why do you think I wanted Nash to be personally brought here instead of riding in a limo? Think, Holly.
(both talking at once) Rachel don't blame Holly.
You put me in charge.
It's my responsibility.
Yes, you gave her one task-- one-- and she failed.
It's probably my fault-- I guess I spoiled her-- but whatever the reason, Holly always drops the ball.
No, you don't give Holly enough credit.
(scoffing laugh) She is head of the Greek Council, she's president of her sorority house.
She's relentless and unforgiving.
She works hard for everything she wants, just like you.
She's not afraid of anything, except you.
You were right when you said I wanted you to hire her for the sake of a relationship, but it was your relationship with her that I was trying to save.
RACHEL: Well you made your point.
I appreciate your honesty, and you're right-- Holly screwed up, but the buck stops with you, so you're fired, Naomi.
Come on, honey.
Hey, mind if I join you? Don't think I'm the best of company right now.
Perfect.
Same here.
Listen, sorry if we kind of ganged on you about the whole Liam thing the other day.
I mean, for the record, I don't actually think you're crazy.
Ah, well, you obviously haven't heard about how I used the GPS tracking system on his motorcycle to hunt him down in the middle of nowhere and attack his new girlfriend.
Oh, my God, you're crazy.
I can't believe what I did.
Yeah, but you know what? You can't beat yourself up about that.
I mean, you care about the guy, and you were obviously just trying to protect him.
And instead I just pushed him away.
Yeah, I kind of did the same thing with Nick.
He got this amazing job shooting in a war zone, and I pretty much pulled the most passive-aggressive move possible, just to get him to stay.
I guess we just have to let the people we love live their lives.
And all we can really do is be there for them when it all comes crashing down.
Hey, there.
(sighs) You see the blogs? What do we got? "A Puke-Studded Gala" was my favorite.
(laughs) But close second would be "Night of a Thousand Chunks.
" (laughs) You have no idea how grateful I am for what you did for me tonight.
My mom and I talked for a long time, and I can't remember the last time we did that.
I knew you two girls would work it out.
She gave me a job at the company.
Mm Of course, she said if I screw up again, she'll fire me and cut me out of her will.
I'm sure you'll do great.
Good to see one of us still has a job.
Mm! About that.
Mitchell sobered up after a bit and we actually had a pretty good time.
Don't even think about it.
You're not gonna date some movie star guy who parties like that! Are you crazy? No, no, no, never.
But guys who party like that throw very big parties, and he was very impressed with the event and the event planner.
(chuckles) Next time Mitchell Nash throws a party, my mom's gonna be pretty pissed someone else got the job.
This is huge, Holly.
I mean, maybe I could start my own business or something.
Yeah, I guess you're gonna be pretty busy.
Looks like I have to get a new arch-nemesis.
Oh, my God, don't worry, I'm sure she's out there somewhere.
Hey, I thought you left already.
What a night, huh? I got a crotch shot of one of the Hilton sisters.
Oh! Maybe it was a Kardashian.
(chuckles) More importantly, does it matter? Nick, I'm sorry.
I mean, this is obviously not at all your type of gig, and I should never have asked you to do it.
Yeah, well, even though shouting "Snooki, look over here!" was soul-crushing, it means a lot to me that you care.
Well, I do.
I really do care.
And you know, even if it sucks to think about you off in in some war zone, I'm not I mean, I'm not gonna get in the way of you and your dreams.
So go to Afghanistan.
And take incredible photos, have an adventure, just, you know, try not to die.
I'll try.
Morning.
(Dixon chuckles) How you feeling? Like I got bucked off a horse and landed headfirst but it was worth it.
I had a great time last night, man.
I owe you.
And I didn't wake up to country music.
It's a beautiful thing.
(chuckles) Dix, listen, I appreciate everything you did for me, trying to cheer me up.
You know, you're right.
We're not just roommates.
I consider you a friend.
Hey, well, back at you, man.
Oh, my God.
Hmm? AUSTIN: Burned to the ground? (groans) Good morning! Good morning.
(chuckles) Thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm gonna need this to get through the rest of my day.
Is everything okay? I just couldn't sleep is all.
A lot on my mind.
Oh, no! Did the conversation with Silver not go well? No.
We had a pretty big fight, actually.
About what? Mm.
Navid, come on.
You can tell me anything.
I'm your friend, right? You are my friend.
I'm done letting secrets get in the way of my relationships.
Adrianna, I have to tell you something.
You might want to sit down for this.
No, I didn't.
Okay, Holly snuck in and attacked me.
Naomi walked in before I could push her away.
Oh, my God.
Naomi, I told you, I didn't cheat on you.
I believe you, about Holly, I do.
It's just that it doesn't matter because I know that I need to change, and it doesn't have anything to do with you.
SILVER: Is everything okay with your dad? NAVID: He's turning himself in.
With what he has on my uncle, they're both going away for a long time.
Now that everything's out in the open, I was hoping we could start over.
I'm still seeing Greg.
You know that song of mine that you sampled? Yeah.
It's about my daughter, Maisy.
Do you know it's been almost three years since I gave her away? It is so nice to finally meet you.
SILVER: She has your eyes.
GREG: Thanks, but she's adopted.
The birth mother was a local girl still in high school, and she just wanted her baby to get a good home.
That's how we got Maisy.
Vanessa was there the night of the accident.
She's been here every day since.
ANNIE: Vanessa said that a black car hit you, but the mechanic said that your bike was covered in maroon paint.
Yes.
Help, please.
There's been an accident.
It was a hit-and-run.
I have decided to go to Carnegie Mellon.
Here is to fresh starts.
Oh, this isn't my I.
D.
Uh WOMAN: Is it someone you know? Clare Hallenberg.
No.
I don't know her.
(country music playing) (groans, sighs) (crying) Somebody kill me, please! This is the soundtrack to my nightmares.
Hey, hey, hey, as a freeloader, I know I can't complain, but Austin has been playing that broken-hearted country crap for a week.
Ah, the poor guy-- he hasn't been the same since Naomi broke up with him.
(door opening) Hey, buddy.
Yu-- No, he did not just finish my Oaty Nuts! Guys, we have to do something, okay? It is not right for someone to stew in their sadness like this.
I don't think that dude has taken a shower in more than a week.
(sighs) You know what? Maybe I should just leave for a little while until he starts feeling better.
Yeah, maybe I should find another couch to sleep on, too.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You guys aren't going to leave me here alone with him, are you? Dixon, my heart was just broken, okay? And I was just beaten within an inch of my life.
My constitution cannot handle this level of country music.
Okay, I know he's my roommate, and he's my responsibility, so, I'll-I'll go handle him, okay? (scoffs) Hey, Austin? (groaning) (clearing throat) Dude, you have become such a workaholic.
My new boss makes TheDevil Wears Prada chick look like a kindergarten teacher.
Well, that might have something to do with the fact that you got caught having sex with a sailor in a giant snow globe at a party that you were supposed to be overseeing.
Hey, I have learned my lesson, and I'm never gonna let a guy come between me and my success again.
Unlike some people-- (coughs) Annie.
What are you saying? That I'm letting Liam get in the way of my life? That's crazy.
Oh, then why are you still here? I mean, seriously, don't we have some big going-away party for you? All we're saying is, if you're here to stay close to your ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend, that's weird.
What about the fact that she hasn't left his side since the accident? Or that her wallet was full of fake I.
D.
's? Oh, a girl with a fake I.
D.
Shocker.
I'm serious, guys.
It's creepy.
IVY: Yeah, you know what? You going through another girl's purse kind of makes you the creepy one.
(gasps) God Ooh Shoot.
I hope those weren't for my mom.
She hates sloppiness.
It's all right, Holly.
I'm sure it was just an accident.
That was an accident, too.
Yeah, you know what? I really don't feel like witnessing a murder this morning.
Your move, sweetie.
Um I can't believe you let her get away without a severe limp.
Oh, following my old impulses for revenge never got me anywhere.
That's why I'm looking for a fresh start.
Which is not going to happen if I engage in petty rivalries.
I don't think Holly got the memo.
Doesn't matter.
The new Naomi is about turning the other cheek.
But she stole your boyfriend.
'Cause she thinks I stole her mother.
Oh, my God, that's it.
Holly is Holly because of the relationship she has with her mother.
If I fix things between them, then I won't have to deal with a nemesis on campus, I'll probably get a promotion, and then being New Naomi will be super easy! Finito! Well, I hope you're right.
'Cause you can't keep turning the other cheek forever.
You're going to run out of cheeks.
(gasps, laughs) Hey.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
You know that agency I just signed with? Yeah.
Just got me my dream gig.
Nick, that's amazing.
I'm going to Afghanistan.
Whoa! Where you going? Afghanistan.
It's a combat photojournalism assignment.
You're looking at the next Robert Capa.
Who? He's the greatest war photographer of all time.
My personal hero.
Oh.
I didn't know your hero is a war photographer.
Oh, he was till he was blown up by a land mine in 1954.
Which would then make him dead.
Hey, there's worse things in life.
Like not following your passion.
Don't worry.
I'll be fine, okay? Mm-hmm.
I'll see you tonight.
Bye.
Bye.
That place was awesome.
Yeah.
You know, sometimes I forget there's a whole world outside my little campus cocoon.
Yeah, I figured you must get so tired of running into the same students and people you know all the time.
Yeah, being a lit teacher-- it's kind of like being a rock star.
Must be how I got a table for tonight at Chez Paris.
Ooh, how fancy.
What's the occasion? Well, soft-shell crabs are in season.
Oh, and I'm divorced.
Believe me, it's a huge relief for the both of us.
And we've even agreed to share custody of Maisy.
You don't really have to tell me that stuff.
You know, your family situation is-is your business.
Well, maybe I'd like to make it your business.
My ex wants to move to Connecticut, and it got me thinking-- my contract with CU is up this semester.
I've got an offer from Columbia University for a tenure track position, and I'm considering it if you'll come with me.
Wait.
Are you asking me to move to New York? I understand.
Yeah, it's a, it's a bigger change for you.
Um, our relationship is new, and you have friends here, so No, no-- you're right, I would miss my friends, but, look, if a relationship with you means leaving them behind, then New York, here I come.
Really? (giggles) If I knew this stupid food truck was on the other side of the planet, I might have worn different shoes.
Look, this is the best Tex-Mex in L.
A.
, okay? Step one in my plan to make Austin feel better.
The GPS says it's, like, 27 yards away, but I don't see it.
Whoa, okay.
What? Uh, don't freak out, but over there is Silver with New Guy, okay? Let's just keep walking.
Remember what happened at the fashion show.
No, no, no, no, I refuse to be a crazy ex-loser-boyfriend like Hopalong Sad Boy back there.
No, Silver and I can be friends.
Greg.
Hey.
I just want to let you know that we're 100% cool.
You know, I don't want there to be any old boyfriend- new boyfriend weirdness.
Glad to hear it.
Wait a minute.
Have we met? You look really familiar.
We gotta go.
Well, so much for you and Silver being friends, yeah? Well, I couldn't have been nicer.
That wasn't easy, considering how badly I want to stab him in the face with a fork.
VANESSA: Coffee? Sure.
Thank you.
Ooh (laughs) (both moan happily) Ooh I like that one.
When'd you get it? Uh, that is a long and boring story.
(chuckles) Hmm.
Maybe (sighs) but I still want to hear it.
I want to know everything about you.
(laughs) Well, I'm not that interesting.
You know what? We should take a trip together.
Best way to get to know someone is by traveling with them.
Oh.
I'll think about it.
That's a maybe.
Maybe's good.
(chuckles) Hey.
Annie.
(clears throat) I thought you, uh, left for Carnegie Mellon.
I was going to, but the semester had already started, and I had too many loose ends to tie up in L.
A.
So what can I do for you? Um Well, I, I just came by for Dixon, actually.
He, he really wants to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and I know you have a copy.
Yeah, man, uh, it's in a box somewhere.
I'll see if I can find it.
ANNIE: Great.
I thought you might be looking for this Clare.
Liam never mentioned you were a klepto.
I accidentally took the wrong purse because we have the same one, remember? Yeah, I guess we have the same taste in a lot of things.
(scoffs) Look, I don't know which one of those I.
D.
's is the real you, but I do know that you are a liar.
Oh, well, that's one thing you know.
Now here's another.
You're messing with the wrong girl.
You have no idea what I'm capable of.
(scoffs) You can't win.
You can only get hurt.
Well, Liam is the only one who I am worried about getting hurt, which is why I'm not telling him about any of this as long as you do the best thing for everyone and go back to wherever the hell you came from.
Stay away from Liam.
Found it.
Great.
Dixon will be so happy.
You guys have a nice day.
Awards season is the Super Bowl of the Beverly Hills event planning business.
I've got three parties in one night, so it's all hands on deck.
Absolutely, you can count on me.
I know I can, which is why I'm about to give you a very big assignment.
Now, it's all top secret, but the American Film Critics Society is honoring Mitchell Nash with Performer of the Year tomorrow night.
Seriously? I'm in love with that guy.
Yes, well, you and half the world.
Let's stay professional, shall we? Yes, of course, I'm sorry.
Just Mitchell Nash.
Wow.
Okay, so I'll be popping back and forth with all my events, so I'm going to need you to be point on this one.
Can you handle that? HOLLY: Mom are we going to go to lunch or what? I've been out in the lobby for a half hour already.
Well, sweetheart, Naomi and I are still working.
I know that's a foreign concept for you.
Rachel Mm-hmm.
You said you need all hands on deck tomorrow night.
Yes.
Maybe Holly could work the party, too.
Ooh, I don't think that's the best idea.
Oh, really, what a shock.
I thought all of Naomi's ideas are brilliant.
I'm sure she'll do a great job.
Besides, you're her mother-- she has event planning in her DNA-- and I could really use the help.
Okay.
If it means that much to you.
Congratulations, Holly, you're Naomi's new assistant.
Her what? Uh, assistant? Tha-That's not what I meant.
Well, she's your idea, so she's your responsibility.
Now, sweetheart, let's make this a short lunch.
I'm sure Naomi has a lot of work for you to do.
Great, I work for you now.
(sighs) Guess you got your revenge after all.
Oh, my God, I swear I have never seen you work this hard.
You said that yesterday.
Yeah, well, I'm still getting used to it.
I have to run this huge Hollywood awards party tonight, and I brilliantly convinced my boss to hire my archnemesis as my assistant.
Whoa-whoa-whoa-- Holly is your new assistant? What is that, some sort of death wish or something? I was trying to do the right thing and it bit me in the ass.
So, is this a big event with, like, a whole red carpet and everything? Yes, movie stars, TV stars, models.
Oh, my God, I have a stomachache.
Hey, by any chance, do you need a photographer for the event? Not me-- um, I'm actually asking about Nick.
I would just really love for him to get a job that's actually in town, and he's really Yeah, he's hired.
Are you serious? Mm-hmm.
Oh, that's amazing.
On one condition-- he has to get a shot of me with Mitchell Nash.
Okay, I'm sure that will not be a problem.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Here you go.
I picked up the name tags from the printer and I got you a cup of coffee that I didn't even spit in boss.
Thank you.
Now I need you to seal all the gift cards into envelopes.
How stupid do you think I am? I am not licking booby-trapped envelopes.
They're self-adhesive, and, Holly, we have to trust each other if we're gonna be working together.
Is that why you won't take a sip of the coffee? (sighs) (anxious laugh) I lied about the spit.
Holly, look your mother thinks that you have a sense of entitlement.
Don't you want a chance to prove her wrong? Don't you want to show her what you're capable of? My mother does have a pretty low opinion of me, but I'm sure she knows I can stuff an envelope.
Okay, fine, fine, what if I gave you a bigger job? Would you trust me then? I'm listening.
I want you to go to the hotel tonight, pick up Mitchell Nash, and bring him directly to the red carpet.
Why would you give up your chance to hang out with a movie star? Because, once your mom sees how you handle the talent, she'll finally get a sense of what you're capable of.
Why do you care what my mother thinks of me? Because I'm trying to be a good person, but you keep getting in my way.
And I'm your boss, so stop asking so many questions.
Hey, brother, can I get two beers over here, please? You know I don't drink, right? They're both for me.
Do you really think drinking is going to help you get over the breakup? That's what I've been trying to tell him.
Dix, I know you think it's your job to cheer me up, but it's not.
Okay, you're just my roommate.
This isn't on you, so just stay out of my way and let me handle my heartbreak the way a real man should-- by getting drunk off my ass and feeding the pelicans.
Feeding the Whoa, uh, Annie, uh, w-what's going on? Uh, just looking for Liam.
Okay, um, look, I'm going to tell you this out of love, okay? You got to let Liam go.
You don't want to end up like Austin, desperately clinging onto a dead relationship.
I promise you, I'm fine.
(sighs) Good, good, 'cause trying to cheer up heartbroken people is exhausting.
(laughs) Hey, how's it going? Good, good.
Uh, so, have you seen Vanessa anywhere? She took off pretty quickly.
I didn't get a chance to ask where.
How's Liam? Did he take it okay? He seemed fine.
He was pretty excited to be going out of town with her.
Wait, what? Vanessa left with Liam? They took off a little while ago on his motorcycle.
(sighs) Annie, are you okay? ANNIE: I have to find out where they went.
Try to remember.
Annie, you need to calm down, okay? Vanessa did not force Liam to go with her.
He seemed pretty excited.
Yeah, but that's because he has no clue what he's dealing with.
I need to find him.
I found multiple I.
D.
's in her purse, okay? Vanessa is not even her real name.
Okay, is a fake I.
D.
really such a big deal? It's more than that.
When I took his motorcycle in to get fixed, the mechanic said he found maroon paint all over his bike.
Vanessa drives a maroon car, so maybe she was the hit-and-run driver, all right? Why did she lie and why is she still hanging around? Well, maybe there's a good explanation.
We all have a past, right? I mean, if you Googled me, you'd crap yourself.
You're right.
She said I have no clue who I'm dealing with.
I should do my homework.
Annie, wait.
Okay, maybe Vanessa is trouble.
But what if you're wrong? If you're still hung up on Liam and she's not chopping him up into pieces somewhere, you'll push him away further than ever.
Okay, I'm sorry, this is incredible-- are you kidding me? Never in my life did I think I was actually gonna be standing anywhere near a red carpet.
Yeah, it's, it's good, I guess.
I didn't realize you were so into this thing.
Uh, uh, check it out-- girl who won the reality show where they eat live rats.
Naomi, everything looks great.
I want to thank you for all of your hard work.
Don't thank me yet.
Did you pick up Mitchell Nash? I sent Holly.
Holly? You, you She'll be here any minute.
This is a very big night for my company, and you're risking all to make peace with Holly? You know, you need to understand that there are some relationships that are just not worth the trouble.
Oh! Finally! Where is he? HOLLY: I went to the hotel, and they said Mitchell Nash wasn't staying there.
Well, of course not.
Do you think he stays under his own name? Oh, my God, I forgot to give Holly Mitchell's fake name.
Look, stop covering for her, Naomi.
I know my daughter.
She's never learned responsibility because she never had to, but you do, so fix it-- now.
(country music playing) Are you kidding me? Now you? Shh.
It's strangely soothing.
(chuckles) Okay.
(lowers volume of music) Well, I got Lee's orange chicken.
I hope it's still your favorite.
Yes, now and forever.
Wow, you really do know how to make me feel better.
(both chuckle) Thanks.
I mean, a lot of things change, but you can always count on Lee's orange chicken.
Thanks.
I really am glad we're friends again.
Me, too.
I mean, after everything we've been through, it's kind of unbelievable.
Yeah, breakup, the whole Silver thing.
Being a pregnant teenager when it just ruins your life and doesn't get you a reality show.
Yeah, well, you seem like you're in a much better place.
(laughs) I really am.
I mean, whenever I get sad about giving away Maisy, I just try to imagine this little three-year-old with a happy family.
Me, too.
I couldn't have gotten through it all without friends, especially without you.
(sighs) You should go talk to Silver.
What am I gonna do-- go up to her house and try to convince her how important it is to be friends? Nah, 'cause what if it's too late? I mean, it's never too late to get it all back.
Look at us.
(country music playing) Dude, you do not need another beer.
You're absolutely right.
I need ten.
Look, I know what you're going through, okay? Last year I was with Ivy.
Things were going great, and then some crazy English dude with his pants all rolled up to his knees came and sabotaged the relationship just to get revenge on Ivy's mom.
Look, I lost a girl that I really, really cared about, all because of some evil jerk.
What did you do? Punched him in the face.
Whew! It felt so sweet.
I could never punch a girl in the face, though even Holly.
Well, maybe you don't have to.
I got a better plan.
Thanks.
All right, it's not a real road trip until you have a beach dog.
(chuckles) You okay? Mm.
Can I be honest with you? Beats lying to me.
(laughs) I'm sorry, I'm joking.
Well, you said you wanted to get to know me.
Maybe one of the reasons I've been holding back is because I don't think things are over with you and Annie.
I told you, Annie and I talked, and it's over.
It's in the past.
Well, the past has a way of coming back whether we want it to or not.
Not for me.
(sighs) Look, this is the relationship I want to be in.
If there's something standing in the way of that, you need to tell me.
No.
I need to show you.
(knocking on door) Uh, Silver isn't here.
She ran out to pick up some dinner.
Oh, okay, well She should be back soon, so if you want to wait inside Yeah.
I'm sorry about how awkward it was yesterday.
I hope I didn't freak you out.
No, not at all.
But Silver seemed pretty upset.
Yeah, I noticed.
Breakups are hard.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Yeah, I just got divorced.
Oh.
Yeah, but yesterday-- it wasn't all your fault.
We were talking about moving to New York.
I think running into her ex at that moment was just the final straw.
Oh, you're, you're moving to New York together? Uh, you know, I should let Silver tell you.
No, no, it's cool, I mean (chuckles) By now, you and I are practically old friends.
Uh I know this might sound crazy, but I'm, I'm sure we met before.
Hey, what are you doing here? (phone ringing) It's my three-year-old.
Yeah, not only does she know how to use cell phones, but she has the all-time high score on that, uh, the bird game.
Hi, Maisy.
(Silver chuckles) Aw, I miss you too.
(whispering): Maisy? Navid, we need to talk.
About you dating the guy who adopted Adrianna's baby? I can date whoever I want to date.
D-Does he know that you're friends with the biological mother of his child? Ade and I are not friends.
Okay, but you cannot be in her child's life and not tell her, Silver.
Maisy is not her responsibility.
She gave her up for adoption, remember? Look, this isn't even about Ade.
It's about you not being able to come to terms with the fact that I have moved on.
No, that's not true.
I just think you should be honest.
Oh, you want to talk about honesty? It was your lies that ruined our relationship, Navid.
And I will regret that for the rest of my life.
But you can make a different choice, Silver.
Tell Greg and Adrianna the truth.
I'm not going to let some random coincidence get in the way of my relationship with Greg.
Oh, and what am I supposed to do? No, I-I know you and I have been through so much together, but I still care about Ade.
Well, I guess you have a decision to make, too, 'cause if you really want to be my friend, you'll stay the hell out of it.
Nice chatting.
Uh, a-absolutely.
I mean, I, I, I don't even have to think about it, uh It was a pleasure.
Yeah.
Count me in, absolutely.
Great, great meeting you.
Hey.
Hey.
Fun party, huh? Uh, it is now-- that was Mike Strater.
He is a documentary filmmaker.
Right, right, he made that amazing film about the, um, the Japanese earthquake.
Right? Yeah.
He's making a film next year about the genocide in Rwanda.
He asked me to come along and be his still photographer.
Wow.
That's incredible, right? I mean, this party wasn't a waste of time after all.
A waste of time? I'm sorry, I had to pull a lot of strings with Naomi just to get you this job.
I mean, this is an amazing gig.
Yeah, I know, it was so sweet of you, but, look, you know me well enough to know that this kind of party is not my thing.
Not your thing.
Okay, well, you know what's not exactly my thing, Nick? Waiting around by the phone to find out whether my boyfriend's been killed in some war zone.
(car sputtering) Okay.
Aah oh! (gasping) That car Sucks, I know.
My mom says if I want something nicer, I have to earn the money to buy it myself.
She hates me.
She doesn't hate you.
She wants to push you to be great like she is.
Yeah, by buying me a car that has to be rolled down a hill to start? Okay, you know what? My parents bought me everything I ever wanted, and they didn't give a crap about me.
Your mother actually cares about you, and that turd on wheels is her way of saying, "I love you, Holly, you can accomplish anything.
" (scoffs) Sorry.
NAOMI: Excuse me.
Hi, we were told this is where we could find Napoleon Schoenberg.
Oh, thank God.
Mr.
Schoenberg is by the pool.
Can you please get him out of here before he drinks that, too? Thank you.
(gasps) Go.
Hello, girls.
Can I buy you a drink? You are both over 18, right? Just asking.
Actually, Mr.
Nash We're here to take you to the awards show.
Well, you took your bloody time about it, didn't you? I may have had three drinks while I was waiting for you.
Oh! Oh, okay, okay.
It's up here on the left.
This is it.
Well, the house isn't much, but the tire collection in the front yard is pretty impressive.
(chuckles) I have to tell you something, and I'm afraid if I do, you're not going to look at me the same way again.
Vanessa, you can tell me anything.
I'm the one who hit you that night on the motorcycle.
(wry laugh) What? Look, I wanted to tell you, but I was so scared.
You lied to the police.
You told 'em it was a hit-and-run.
I had to.
Look, I've been in trouble with the law before, and if they knew what I did or who I was Wait, so you're on the run from the police, you almost killed me, and you, you, what, brought me here to finish the job? No, I want to tell you the truth.
Yeah, well, it's a little late for that.
Liam, wait.
ANNIE: Hey! Get away from him! Annie, what the hell are you doing here? Annie, what the hell are you doing here? How did you find us? I used the GPS tracking on your motorcycle.
What? Liam, I Googled her, okay? Not only did she lie about the hit-and-run driver, but she also has a criminal record.
I needed to make sure you were okay.
I saved his life that night.
Clearly I'm not trying to kill him.
Really? 'Cause when I told you to get out of town, she dragged you out here.
Who knows what she was going to do? (sighs) I brought you out here because this is where I grew up.
Yeah.
My parents didn't want me, so I bounced around until I wound up here.
And because I was in trouble with the law, when I hit you that night, I had to lie.
But I couldn't just run away.
I had to make sure you were okay.
That's why I stayed with you in the hospital.
Plus, it didn't really seem like you had anyone else anyway.
You should have told me the truth.
I've done a lot of things that I regret, and I can't change where I'm from or what I've done, but I'm trying to start a new life.
Somehow the past just keeps coming back.
Look, if that's a deal breaker I get it.
I don't know what to say.
I know.
She's crazy.
I'm talking about you.
You Internet-stalked Vanessa and you tracked me? That's nuts.
You heard what she said, Liam-- she lied.
Because she's trying to move on.
So that makes it okay with you? No Look, you were right about the accident.
I appreciate your concern.
I'm pissed that she lied, but everybody's got stuff they're trying to leave behind.
Like us? I'm sorry.
I couldn't just sit back and wait for something terrible to happen.
Yeah, well, I can take care of myself.
You're not my responsibility anymore, Annie.
And I'm not yours.
Whoo! (laughs) Come on.
(both clucking) Boom! Ha-ha! See? Eggs and toilet paper.
That's how we cure a heartache where I'm from.
Through vandalism? Ah, a good rain and it'll all wash away.
Besides, how do you feel? Man, I feel great.
I feel great.
Thanks, man.
No, no, no, no, seeing "Holly eats doody" in shaving cream on her sorority house-- that's all the thanks I need.
Well, hey, we got one egg left.
Do you think I can hit Holly's window from here, huh? Uh Well, considering your current drunken state, I would say no, but it's always worth a try, so, uh All right, buddy.
Come on, let's go.
What the hell kind of egg was that? Dude, that was a rock.
Come on, let's go.
(crowd cheering) NAOMI: Oh.
(chuckles) Honestly, ladies I can take it from here.
Okay (Naomi and Holly gasp) Is everything okay here? Yes, uh, Mitchell is just really exhausted from his international flight.
Uh-huh.
Oh, Danny Boy Okay, well, let's go.
Go, go, go.
Come on.
We're walking, we're walking.
I'm letting go, that's right.
Come on.
No, we're still walking.
Come on.
(vomits) Oh, oh, n-no.
RACHEL: Oh, please.
Really? Really? Seriously? (gasps) How was I supposed to know that he was going to be wasted because we showed up a little late? Well, open a magazine.
Everybody knows he's the biggest party animal in Hollywood.
Why do you think I wanted Nash to be personally brought here instead of riding in a limo? Think, Holly.
(both talking at once) Rachel don't blame Holly.
You put me in charge.
It's my responsibility.
Yes, you gave her one task-- one-- and she failed.
It's probably my fault-- I guess I spoiled her-- but whatever the reason, Holly always drops the ball.
No, you don't give Holly enough credit.
(scoffing laugh) She is head of the Greek Council, she's president of her sorority house.
She's relentless and unforgiving.
She works hard for everything she wants, just like you.
She's not afraid of anything, except you.
You were right when you said I wanted you to hire her for the sake of a relationship, but it was your relationship with her that I was trying to save.
RACHEL: Well you made your point.
I appreciate your honesty, and you're right-- Holly screwed up, but the buck stops with you, so you're fired, Naomi.
Come on, honey.
Hey, mind if I join you? Don't think I'm the best of company right now.
Perfect.
Same here.
Listen, sorry if we kind of ganged on you about the whole Liam thing the other day.
I mean, for the record, I don't actually think you're crazy.
Ah, well, you obviously haven't heard about how I used the GPS tracking system on his motorcycle to hunt him down in the middle of nowhere and attack his new girlfriend.
Oh, my God, you're crazy.
I can't believe what I did.
Yeah, but you know what? You can't beat yourself up about that.
I mean, you care about the guy, and you were obviously just trying to protect him.
And instead I just pushed him away.
Yeah, I kind of did the same thing with Nick.
He got this amazing job shooting in a war zone, and I pretty much pulled the most passive-aggressive move possible, just to get him to stay.
I guess we just have to let the people we love live their lives.
And all we can really do is be there for them when it all comes crashing down.
Hey, there.
(sighs) You see the blogs? What do we got? "A Puke-Studded Gala" was my favorite.
(laughs) But close second would be "Night of a Thousand Chunks.
" (laughs) You have no idea how grateful I am for what you did for me tonight.
My mom and I talked for a long time, and I can't remember the last time we did that.
I knew you two girls would work it out.
She gave me a job at the company.
Mm Of course, she said if I screw up again, she'll fire me and cut me out of her will.
I'm sure you'll do great.
Good to see one of us still has a job.
Mm! About that.
Mitchell sobered up after a bit and we actually had a pretty good time.
Don't even think about it.
You're not gonna date some movie star guy who parties like that! Are you crazy? No, no, no, never.
But guys who party like that throw very big parties, and he was very impressed with the event and the event planner.
(chuckles) Next time Mitchell Nash throws a party, my mom's gonna be pretty pissed someone else got the job.
This is huge, Holly.
I mean, maybe I could start my own business or something.
Yeah, I guess you're gonna be pretty busy.
Looks like I have to get a new arch-nemesis.
Oh, my God, don't worry, I'm sure she's out there somewhere.
Hey, I thought you left already.
What a night, huh? I got a crotch shot of one of the Hilton sisters.
Oh! Maybe it was a Kardashian.
(chuckles) More importantly, does it matter? Nick, I'm sorry.
I mean, this is obviously not at all your type of gig, and I should never have asked you to do it.
Yeah, well, even though shouting "Snooki, look over here!" was soul-crushing, it means a lot to me that you care.
Well, I do.
I really do care.
And you know, even if it sucks to think about you off in in some war zone, I'm not I mean, I'm not gonna get in the way of you and your dreams.
So go to Afghanistan.
And take incredible photos, have an adventure, just, you know, try not to die.
I'll try.
Morning.
(Dixon chuckles) How you feeling? Like I got bucked off a horse and landed headfirst but it was worth it.
I had a great time last night, man.
I owe you.
And I didn't wake up to country music.
It's a beautiful thing.
(chuckles) Dix, listen, I appreciate everything you did for me, trying to cheer me up.
You know, you're right.
We're not just roommates.
I consider you a friend.
Hey, well, back at you, man.
Oh, my God.
Hmm? AUSTIN: Burned to the ground? (groans) Good morning! Good morning.
(chuckles) Thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm gonna need this to get through the rest of my day.
Is everything okay? I just couldn't sleep is all.
A lot on my mind.
Oh, no! Did the conversation with Silver not go well? No.
We had a pretty big fight, actually.
About what? Mm.
Navid, come on.
You can tell me anything.
I'm your friend, right? You are my friend.
I'm done letting secrets get in the way of my relationships.
Adrianna, I have to tell you something.
You might want to sit down for this.
