That's the focal point of this drama-filled episode.
In her continuing efforts to forge a friendship with her former flame, Jason Wahler, star Lauren Conrad wasn't exactly expecting to learn that ...
- He has a new girlfriend.
- Oh, and they're living together.
- They're engaged! Surprise! Woo!
Jason drops bombs #1 and #2 during a lunch date with LC, inviting her to a housewarming party thrown by himself and his new gal. She accepts.
Only when Lauren and Audrina Patridge attend said party do they learn the full extent of Jason's relationship with Katja Decker-Sadowski.
The big moment comes when a drunk frat guy offers a toast - with a plastic cup of beer, just pumped from a keg - to celebrate the engagement of Wahler.
Lauren's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.
Her heartbreak and complete shock evident, LC feigns happiness for a time, though later she confides to Jason that "I think you're being an idiot."
After all, he's only 20 years old and still in a recovering alcoholics program that recommends he not date anyone... let alone get engaged to someone.
A calm Jason Wahler just rolls with his ex-girlfriend's criticism, though, and is clearly happy with Katja Decker-Sadowski, a tennis player at USC.
The highlight of the night came when a clearly jealous Katja interrupted Lauren's during her heart-to-heart with Jason on the deck, heaving herself on Wahler's lap in one of the most awkward moments in Hills history. What a bitch!
Left: Jason and fiancee Katja Decker-Sadowski. Right: LC and Whitney.
The next day, Lauren Conrad reflected on the events with a cooler head, saying "this could have been me ... but as much as I love Jason, I'm glad it's not!"
She also noted that she's dreamed about the day gets engaged and it doesn't involve plastic cups of beer and Bob Marley posters. Same here, Lauren!
In other news, Whitney Port drops the ball a little at Teen Vogue when she is in charge of a photo shoot for a band, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, but goes out and parties with them late the night before and everyone shows up late. Fortunately, her editor, Lisa Love, only gives our girl a slight reprimand and tells her to step it up.
Lastly, the loathesome Spencer Pratt is not psyched about registering for wedding presents. Or telling his parents that he's engaged to Heidi Montag. The episode ends with Spence's sheepish admission that his folks don't even know... despite the fact that he's a media whore who appears on a well-known reality show!

I really don't understand why Jason would pull Lauren
in like he has just to drop a bomb on her. I am really
interested in his body language & his actions at the party.
He seemed to want to be certain Lauren was taken care
of with a drink and such. Then asked how she was doing.
After the announcement of his engagement he practically
ran after Lauren to be with her.
Guys often don't know how to say the right thing, but
their actions speak volumes. It is clear to me that he
still adores Lauren and probably never thought in a million
years that he would have another chance with her.
He in the meantime finds someone else on a rebound
and jumps head first into a serious relationship.
He messed up so big time b/c his quick into the fire
relationship made Lauren see she knows what she
wants & Jason's erratic ways is not it. I agree...
STAY away from the chaos m'dear!
AS for Heidi...no surprise that Spencer didn't tell
his parents. It's pretty sad that he has her right
where he wants her. She has no one to go to
or cry to about this new revelation.

Jason is just on the rebound and wanted to make Lauren jealous. It was very obvious the game he was playing. Why even go out to lunch and lead Lauren on when he knew the whole time he had a girl friend. What a cad! And this new girl of his seems really inmature compared to LC. I'm sure they wont get anywhere near a minister though.

jasons girlfriend is soooo immature shes like a highschool girl. the way she was put off by lauren giving her dirty looks, giggling, gossiping with her friends about her, all just more than proved it. and that comment she made "this is so stupid" i mean whoelse would that be directed to. lauren obviously. it was soo clear that jasons girlfriend didnt like lauren there. so she should have told jason it would be disrespectful for her to be there at her engagement party. and if shes mad she should be giving jason the evil for inviting her. not lauren. she obviously is threatened by lauren perhaps she knows shes a rebound girl and is hoping thatll change. seriously doubt it. hes a 20 yr old womanizing (like he did at ketchup with lauren) not fully recovered alkie. im sure itll last. haha! anyway if they do get married shell always have fond memories of her engagement party with plastics cups and the ex there with feelings of jealousy. nice thoughts on your engagement party. p.s. shes no beauty. def a scary face

I hate being a mean person, but I'd rather tell the truth. Kat woman is not all that and then some. Jason what are you thinking? We are all pulling for you to stay clean and sober and then you go and get "engaged" to an 18-year-old?
Sorry you blew all your chances with Lauren, 'cause she is beautiful inside and out.
I know this has nothing to do with the subject matter, but has anyone else noticed the HOT HOT HOT chemistry going on between
Lauren and Brody-OUCH!
