As usual, THG's recap of The Hills will consist of us grading last night's episode, awarding (or deducting) points for the best and worst moments.
This week, Kelly Cutrone sends LC and Whitney to NYC to pull together a show for Men's Fashion Week. Sparks fly for Whitney with a new man. Heidi finds Spencer to be an embarrassment yet again when he confronts her ex-boss at a bar.
On to the rankings! Chime in with your own!
After Heidi's firing, Spencer suggests they hang out on "their first free night in forever." Minus 5, because they hang out all the damn time, but Plus 7, because they technically are working during their club appearances and staged photo shoots.
No bonus four minutes of ads this week! Plus 3.
At long last, a lack of Justin-Bobby drama. Minus only 2, because we find ourselves sort of missing the entertainment he provides, much as we loathe him.
Plus 10 for airing an episode centered around Whitney Port, and for Whitney Port being particularly expressive (even by her standards). When Kelly said they'd be putting on six shows instead of two, her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.
This isn't the first time Spencer has cornered Brent out of the blue, and he looks pretty darn surprised and annoyed, telling Spencer off and leaving him uncharacteristically speechless, suggesting that not everything on The Hills is faked. Plus 5.
We sort of feel bad for Alex the model, but if he's not going to be even a little assertive, how can we? Gotta step it up next time, guy. Minus 2.
After Adam invites Whitney and Lauren Conrad to a party, we were introduced to his friend, handsome Australian singer Jay. Minus 4, because as cool as he seems, we already know he's Jay Lyon, and he once dated Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr. The Hills lagging behind real life by three months kills some of the effect at times.
Who else is psyched for The City, though? Plus 10.
TOTAL: +22. Great stuff all around last night. We <3 Whitney. Add your own scores and we'll adjust our aggregate sum as the week goes on!

id say plus 100 because not only the girls on the hills and everyone who watches the hills thinks that heidi is an idiot and needs to dump spencer because hes a "nightmare" but so does brent bolthouse, someone who , from what i can tell, has nothing to gain and probably doesnt care about heidi by telling her that spencer is bad news and that you dont need people like that in your life because they just mess things up for you. horray for someone on the "outside" so to speak to tell spencer and heidi whats up.
i dont really think heidi will ever leave spencer, she seems just like one of those weak minded females who constantly needs someone to tell her what to do so spencer is perfect for her. its sad and pathetic but thats life.
i love whiteney and i feel bad for alex but you guys are right, he didnt step up and ladies love for a man to basically sweep girls off their feet.
plus 10 because of no justin bobby and fake tittie magee audrina. im so over the both of them. mtv picked her up from the pool on the first season and basically planted her as a character on the show. um hello she is an actress. get her off the show already im sick of her fake bs.
minus 10 no kyle howard, i doubt hell be in any episodes but we need to see lc and some romance

I really believe Spencer was helping Heidi by conversing with her former boss. Then he encouraged Heidi to speak with him. Plus 50. Both of them made an effort to right a wrong situation. As for Whitey, she made a smart move by accepting Jay's invitation. I think she did it only for her own selfish reasons. How often will a guy ask her out? If they want someone nice they can call a favorite aunt. Plus 10. If Lauren wants to start something with a guy she's probably looking at dropping 25 pounds before she can attract a guy worthy enough to ride in her Mercedes. Minus 10.
