As ShePratt's sad, oversized cake comes out unlit, Brody sardonically gives a big cheer for the birthday party. Kristin laughs haughtily, knowing she's one of the cool kids right this minute. LiLi Lutz wonders if McKnowYourPlaceGirl is going to confront Brody. Two feet away, it's now Lo who has to tell someone to be nice to McKickedToTheCurbAnyMinuteNow. And that someone is Brody. They stand up to take a picture, at which point McSocialCues decides to confront Brody. Except she doesn't seem to have the vaguest notion of what she wants out of this conversation -- except respect? Always respect. God, I'm smacking my head. Brody reminds her that Kristin's his ex-girlfriend, as if that makes it okay that he sometimes cheats with her, and tells McSocialClimber that she'll never get respect by affiliating herself with LiLi Lutz. He takes off with Kristin, leaving McKutOut in his dust.
The next day at work, McKickedInTheGut initiates the requisite rehash with Lo. She thinks she should make sure Brody knows the "real" her, as if he cares. Lo hints that maybe his behavior indicates the aforementioned lack of empathy, but McKan'tSeeTheForestForTheTrees is full steam ahead on her foolhardy endeavor. She calls him, and he ignores her call -- all the better to make pervy double entendres toward Kristin, who's still at his apartment.
Later, Kristin meets up with Audrina to recap the night before. Mainly they just want to mean girl LiLi Lutz, who Kristin says "looks like a 45-year-old stripper who smokes a pack a day." They agree that McKickMe was foolish to ally herself with LiLi Lutz and must have been knocked down a peg after facing -- and being overcome by -- the unstoppable chemistry that is Kristin and Brody. Yes, friends, the unstoppable chemistry of two mumbling, constantly drunk asshats with easily directed personalities. Wouldn't you be crushed by their dim-witted forcefulness, too? Sheesh. Audrina is totally taken in by it, and goes, "You guys are, like, soul mates." Kristin smiles smugly. Audrina's phone chimes for about the 50th time during this conversation, and she finally admits it's been JB each time. Kristin (remember how she bonked him?) gets a devilish look in her eyes and says it's "trouble-trouble-trouble!"
