Vanessa's gone to meet Nate and is busy making out with him on the street when he asks her to go to the ball with him. She hesitates, and he correctly guesses that she hasn't told Jenny yet about them dating. Nope, she's been too busy rifling through Jenny's crap and making her supposed best friend feel like a used plaything. She vaguely asks him how he would feel if he thought Jenny still liked him, and thinking that's not at all a possibility, Nate assures V that he wants to be with V and no one else. Until something shiny catches his attention. Seriously, Nate has the focus of a retarded fruit bat. However, their secret won't remain a secret for long as they get photographed while kissing. Hey Nate, remember when you got photographed kissing Jenny a few weeks ago and how well that went? This idiot just needs to stop coming out in public.
Speaking of Nate, Penelope is busy grilling Jenny about him back in the ghetto. Not because Penelope cares about Jenny's feelings, but because she wants to ask him to the ball. If you remember, Penny had a pathetic, unrequited crush on him last season. Jenny nearly pulls some of Penelope's hair out while denying there's anything going on between them -- just as they both get GG blasts on their phone, with the picture of Nate and Vanessa kissing. Amusingly, GG has captioned the photo: "Spotted: N swapping spit with a girl from an outer borough. Ew. Ew. Ew." Hopefully one of these two will help Vanessa complete her roadkill ensemble by mangling her ass.
"You might want to think about hair extensions, Penny. We all know you're going to be 75% plastic and fake in ten years anyway."
Back to Lily and Bart, out on the street. She remains aloof as he explains he fired his PI and won't be snooping anymore. Well, besides that phone call he made on Thanksgiving to dig into the background on Lily's institutionalization. He apologizes, but she doesn't think it's enough, even when he vows to change. He offers to escort her to the ball, and she walks away without answering.
At the gallery, Serena is bitching to Aaron about Lexi, as Lexi and Dan hit it off talking about coffee beans plucked out of cat shit. Quelle romantique! Serena and Aaron agree that she will tolerate Lexi if he comes with her to the ball. At the same time, Dan and Lexi announce that Dan's giving her a walking tour of Brooklyn. Sure enough, Serena looks displeased by this news. They should just have an orgy and get it out of everyone's system. Don't tell me Serena hasn't done that before.
Penelope's stormed off somewhere, probably to ask Blair for help in destroying Vanessa, since Penelope is useless without B's guidance. This leaves Jenny home alone when Vanessa herself waltzes back into the loft, cheerily suggesting ordering pizza. Jenny confronts her about the GG blast, and Vanessa lamely apologizes then goes on the attack, reminding Jenny that Jenny kissed Nate behind Vanessa's back first. See the difference there is that Jenny actually felt bad about that, and Nate genuinely liked Jenny -- Jenny didn't lie to Vanessa's face about things and trick Nate into being with her because he thought his first choice wasn't interested. Pissed, Jenny reminds Vanessa how bad she felt about that and how she chased after Vanessa, and then hits the nail on the head when she calls Vanessa "desperate." HAHAHAHA. Exactly, Little J. Instead of realizing she is a pathetic, desperate cow, Vanessa accuses Jenny of being jealous and announces she will be going to the ball with Nate afterall. Please someone douse this bitch in pig's blood at the dance.
Chuck is hanging around, playing the piano at Blair's, which only makes him sexier in my book. When Blair arrives, he tells her he thinks he should pick her date for the ball. Intrigued, she agrees as long as she gets to pick his. But instead of trying to screw each other over on this, they decide they will legitimately try to find the ideal date for the other. If Chuck actually likes his date, Blair gets his limo for a month. Hilariously, if Blair actually likes her date, Chuck gets Dorota for a month. Seeing as though I'm sure Chuck has a whole boatload of new servants shipped over each month, I'm not sure why he wants Dorota, but I'm amused nonetheless.
"Sexy time with Mr. Chuck? This not what I sign up for when I leave Warsaw."

Yayyy punctual recap!
I loved this episode (well, compared to what we've been getting). The altercations between Blair and Chuck give me hope for the[ir] future, and I like the Bart-Lily possible split as it kind of shakes up the familial situation a bit.
Omg, do you really think Bart is dead??? If he does end up dead, I think we'll be seeing him one last time, maybe on life support in the hospital next ep or something.
Also, totally agree with you on Ed Westwick's looks. He's like that girl from Seinfeld, who looks really attractive in certain lighting, but then when she's under like a tunnel or something she looks ugly.

Ooh I'd just like to add that when V and N ended up together I screamed my head off.
Vanessa committed a criminal offense, STEALING JENNY'S MAIL, and Nate is still en amour with her. Jenny, what, makes the bottom of her dress transparent? Barely embarrassing, let alone humiliating. And I don't understand why Jenny sticks up for Vanessa to the Blair-ettes. "Vanessa is twice the person you'll ever be"? Only if the worth of a man were measured in the amount of '80s memorabilia he possessed.
