In season 2 episode 7 of Laguna Beach, titled "Get Over Him," the drama continues to unfold among the group of high school friends in the picturesque California town. The focus of this episode is on two girls: Kristen and Alex M.
Kristen is still reeling from her recent breakup with her longtime boyfriend. She's having a hard time moving on and is constantly talking about him to her friends. Alex M., on the other hand, is newly single and ready to mingle. She's excited to explore her options and have some fun.
The girls decide to go out to a club together, with Alex M. determined to help Kristen forget about her ex-boyfriend for the night. Once they arrive, they run into some other friends, including Jason. Kristen is immediately put off by his presence, as he has a history of leading her on and then breaking her heart.
Despite Kristen's reservations, Alex M. seems interested in Jason and spends the night talking to him and dancing with him. Meanwhile, Kristen is feeling left out and alone. She's not ready to move on from her ex, but she also doesn't want to be the only one not having fun.
As the night wears on, tensions rise between Kristen and Alex M. Kristen feels like Alex M. is abandoning their friendship for a chance with Jason, while Alex M. thinks that Kristen needs to stop dwelling on her ex and start living her life again. The situation comes to a head when Alex M. and Jason disappear from the club together, leaving Kristen alone and upset.
The next day, Kristen confronts Alex M. about what happened. Alex M. insists that nothing happened between her and Jason, but Kristen doesn't believe her. The two girls argue, and their friendship is clearly in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, another pair of friends is going through their own drama. Talan and Taylor have been flirting with each other for weeks, but neither of them has made a move. Taylor is worried about pursuing anything with Talan because of her fear of getting hurt, while Talan is hesitant because he doesn't want to ruin their friendship.
At a party later in the episode, Taylor decides to take matters into her own hands and finally kiss Talan. The two of them seem happy and excited about the prospect of a relationship, but it remains to be seen whether their newfound romance will last.
As the episode comes to a close, the various threads of drama and romance are left unresolved. Kristen and Alex M. are still at odds, Taylor and Talan's relationship is just beginning, and everyone else is still trying to navigate the complicated social landscape of Laguna Beach. With just a few episodes left in the season, it's clear that the drama is far from over.
