Laguna Beach

Season #1

J Episode #1: A Black & White Affair – Their senior year is winding down and the kids from Laguna Beach are just getting started for their summer fun… and drama. Lo, LC, Morgan and Christina are the most popular senior girls in school. At the Black and White themed party, the fun starts together with the drama and rivalry. Especially when Kristin starts to go her own way, despite the negative response she gets from others. Welcome to Laguna Beach and the life of eight high school friends who were born and raised in this beautiful seaside town. As the senior girls prepare for one of their infamous hotel parties, Stephen is in torn by his attraction to two girls, Kristin and LC. After Kristin confronts him about his night with LC, sparks fly as they all attend the Black & White party. The first episode of the show begins with Lauren/LC as the narrator introducing the cast members and giving some details about them. The first scene opens with LO, LC, Morgan and Christina sitting around a table eating some chips and planning a party. They’re trying to decide on a theme, and of course, the all-important guest list. They finally decide to call it “A Black and White Affair”, and decide to have it in a swank hotel. When Lo asks if they should invite Kristin, LC makes a face, but agrees. And speaking of Kristin, the pretty blonde is relaxing in her Jacuzzi on a water bed. Her cell phone rings and she gets out of the Jacuzzi and answers it. It’s Alex. The two friends make plans for the night and Alex asks how her relationship with Stephen is going. Kristin answers that it’s pretty good. With her man on her mind, she visits the dark-haired cutie at work. Stephen tells her he’s planning to go Trey’s BBQ and asks her if she’s going. She flat out tells him that she’s not going anywhere that Lauren/LC is going to be. Stephen answers the phone while Kristin teases him, then she says she has to pick up Alex and leaves the store. We cut to Trey’s house where LC is on her cell phone leaving a message for Lo, complaining that she is the only senior girl there. Trey is cooking some hamburgers. Dieter is doing his work as Stephen’s wing man and tells LC that he will get there in a while. Then Polster approaches them with a strange hat and Dieter says that it was going to be his hat for the night, but Polster argues that Trey gave him the hat. Dieter invites LC to go bubble bathing with them and Polster explains that they are going to pour bubble bath in the Jacuzzi so that it creates a massive mount of bubbles. LC wants to know they they’d do that, but Polster responds puzzled, “Why wouldn’t we do that?” Dieter explains that they’re going to a hotel to pull the prank. LC tells them that’s mean! And they joke about Polster’s intelligence… or lack thereof.

Stephen enters and hugs LC asking if she’s there alone. Meanwhile, it’s girls’ night in at Kristin’s house. She and her best friend Alex are busing painting their nails, talking about boys, and laughing about how Kristin and Stephen’s babies would look like. Back at Trey’s house, LC, Stephen, Morgan, Trey, Christina and some others are sitting around a table. The girls are giving details of their upcoming party and instructions on what they have to wear. LC and Stephen share some flirty looks and afterwards the two head off alone to Stephen’s house. The next morning Stephen goes to see LC’s new house, which is still being built. She shows him her bedroom, bragging that it’s the best room in the house, and that she has two closets: One for her clothes and the other one for her shoes and purses. They go outside to the pool and the Jacuzzi, still under construction. Stephen sits on the Jacuzzi and imitates the sound of the Jacuzzi when it is turned on. LC shows him Kristin’s house from where they’re standing. J

Meanwhile, Talan and Kristin are sitting outside some kind of cafeteria and drinking a coke, talking about Stephen Lauren’s rendezvous the night before and questioning if they hooked up or not. Kristin says that Stephen told her that they didn’t, but she still thinks they spend too much time together. The scene cuts to the hotel where the party will take place. Lo and LC are talking to the hotel manager about the party and he warns that it can’t be a dance party, just a get together. Lo assures him that they’re trustworthy. And now we’re at a store where Trey, Polster and Stephen are talking about whether they’d date Kristin or LC and imagining the two fighting over Stephen. Stephen says that Kristin is just a girl to have fun with, but Lauren is more girlfriend material. Wonder how Kristin would take that? Won’t have to wonder long… later that night Kristin and Stephen meet at her house for a date. They go to a restaurant to have dinner and fight about him lying to Kristin and being at LC’s house. She makes it clear that she doesn’t like LC and doesn’t trust her with him. J

Meanwhile, LC, Lo, Morgan and Christina are getting ready for the Black and White party in a room at the hotel and talking about what they will wear. LC makes fun of the dress she wore to the freshman year dance, and they all say that Lo’s dress was cute. They wonder how Kristin and the freshman girls will act. Then Lo says that she wanted to wear a white dress but that she never found a cute one. Kristin is in her room, wearing a white dress and picking the right shoes. At Trey’s house the boys are ready to leave and Stephen is backing up his car and accidentally runs over Dieter’s cologne. Instead of apologizing he tells Dieter that it’s his fault that he ran over his cologne. The scene cuts to the Surf and Sand Hotel where the Black and White party is taking place. Lo and LC are talking on the balcony and Lo is trying to find Kristin’s phone number to call her because she’s with all the guys. LC tells her that she called Dieter, and he said they were just going to stop by briefly and then head over to Polster’s place. Lo is shocked by that news. J

Dieter, Jessica, Trey, Alex, Stephen and Kristin arrive at the hotel and while they’re walking inside Kristin is complaining about not wanting to be there. An annoyed Stephen tells her to stop complaining. They get to the room and knock. LC runs to open the door. They all say hello to LC, except for Kristin who passes her and goes directly to have a seat. LC notices that Stephen is not wearing black like he’s supposed to. Christina invites everybody to start dancing and Kristin sitting on the bed refuses. The rest start dancing and make plans to go to the beach after that. LC points out that everyone work black, except for Kristin who was the only one to wear white. During the night, Kristin and LC exchange uncomfortable glances. Kristin is sick of being there and spends the entire night whining. Tired of listening to Kristin saying that she doesn’t want to be there, LC tells Morgan that if she hears Kristin saying that she wants to leave one more time, she will personally escort her out of the hotel. Finally, Kristin manages to get everyone to leave and she, Stephen, Alex, Dieter and Jessica leave the party. Over the closing credits, we focus on a morose LC, bummed over Stephen leaving the party, standing on the balcony alone. J

J Episode #2: The Bonfire – A double-date dinner turns from bad to worse when Stephen gets jealous about phone calls Kristin is receiving from another guy. LC and Lo drop in on Treys AKA (Active Young America) Open Mic Night, and the whole gang gathers for a bonfire on the beach where things heat up between LC, Stephen and Kristin. Stephen thinks he has to teach Kristin how to surf, something she doesn’t really like. Kristin plays to cook with Jessica for Dieter and Stephen – a difficult project, when nobody knows how to cook! Stephen is getting jealous and he wants to talk with her at the bonfire –what will she say? J

In this episode of Laguna Beach, things really start to heat up Southern Cali style. The love triangle between Stephen, Kristin and LC is becoming more obvious, and each of them is really starting to feel the pressure. This episode opens with LC and Lo making a trip to their favorite sanctuary – the mall—to take their minds off boy problems. They end up in the M.A.C. store, where they have their makeup professionally done for the many festivities they have planned for the evening. Christina calls her best friend Morgan from the road to announce her acceptance into SMU for the fall. Morgan congratulates Christina and tells her she has yet to open her own letter from BYU – the only college she applied to. The two meet on the beach, so they can read the letter together. Morgan talks about how much she longs to go to SMU and leave her life in “the bubble” behind her. She talks about how she cannot wait to get away from “the party scene” as well as all the “stupid kids screwing up on their parents’ money”. As Morgan finally opens the letter and begins to read from the page, we find out she has been declined admission to the only college she applied to. What will she do now? Like a true best friend, Christina tries to comfort Morgan convince her everything will be alright – contrary to Morgan’s belief that this “totally sucks.” J

Kristin and her friend Jessica go the grocery store to pick up everything they need for the dinner they will be cooking for Stephen and Jessica’s boyfriend Dieter at Dieter’s house later that evening. As they walk up the steps to the house, Kristin wonders if Stephen will be in a jealous mood. (According to Kristin, whenever she isn’t “all over” Stephen, he tends to freak out, and that really pisses her off.) Back at Dieter’s house, the verdict is on Kristin and Jessica’s dinner: Not good! Stephen honestly admits he does not like the food and Dieter shamelessly trips and asks why it “tastes so bad”. As if the unsatisfactory food wasn’t enough, things start to get tense as Kristin’s cell phone begins ringing nonstop. Looking quite perturbed, Stephen asks Kristin why she just does not turn off her phone. Kristin shrugs it off. When the phone continues to ring, she finally leaves the table to answer it. Now, Stephen is the one who looks pissed. Unfortunately, the group’s cozy little dinner for four didn’t quite turn out the way everyone had planned. J’

The evening culminates in a bonfire, and everyone from the clique is present. Of course, this poses a small problem, considering the awkward relations between Stephen, Kristin and LC. With relations between them still tense from last night’s dinner, Stephen and Kristin discreetly have a quasi-argument. Kristin gets frustrated and says she doesn’t want to talk about it. While Kristin has stepped away, Stephen and LC have a little talk. Stephen tells her how he can’t wait to “get the hell out” of Laguna Beach. He also tells LC how doesn’t regret how they once hooked up because he feels they have become better friends because of it. LC says it was fun while it lasted, but she said she could have done without all the drama that ensued because of it. The entire time of their conversation, Kristin looks on from afar. Trouble in paradise…
