Dan, Lexi, Serena and Aaron are doing that walking tour of Brooklyn while Lexi and Dan flirt and Serena scours the banks of the river for a bum to spit in her mouth and kill her. Serena announces Aaron will be going to the dance with her, and Lexi strong-arms Dan into inviting her as well. Aaron asks Serena privately if she's okay with that, and Serena claims she is as long as Dan is. "I'm guessing Dan will wind up being more than fine with it." "Meaning?" "Lexi likes to sleep with guys on the first date." HAHAHA, good work Serena. Not only have you inadvertently helped your ex you're not really over move on, but you helped him move on with an annoying, pushy slut.
At home, Bart finally confronts Chuck about giving Eric access to the safe with the PI files. Chuck looks momentarily guilty, and Bart resignedly tells him that everytime he thinks they're making progress, Chuck shows his true colors. Now while I generally think Bart's been a super shitty dad to Chuck, he does have a point there. Bart was wrong to have those files, but Chuck had to have realized the damage he would be doing to Bart's marriage and his stepfamily by showing them to Eric. And Chuck loves his stepfamily. Maybe he was too busy worrying about his bromance last ep to consider the consequences.
Jenny arrives at Penelope's, where Penny and the midget Hazel are plotting to destroy Vanessa. So far they've got a drawing of a stick figure with the words "shops at K-Mart" and "wears a size 4" written around it. Jenny hands over Penelope's dress as Iz comes out wearing her outfit for the ball -- which makes her look like a stripper version of Statue of Liberty since it's completely see through. Jenny mentions that Vanessa's going to the ball with Nate, and Penelope suggests that Jenny offer Iz's dress to Vanessa as a peace offering. A much better plan, ladies, but I'm hoping for a repeat of the Nairtini.
"Forget Vanessa! Can I wear that?"
Back at Blair's, Blair is gleefully planning her ideal woman for Chuck while Serena gloomily warns her that seeing your ex move on isn't as easy as it sounds. She whines about Lexi's slutastic behaviors, and asks Blair if she should warn Dan. "Oh, absolutely. Guys hate to be caught off guard with sex on the first date!" Haha. Blair argues that Serena shouldn't think about it, because Dan sure as hell isn't thinking about her and Aaron having dirty, pseudo-hipster sex. Only... they haven't had sex yet. Yeah, I'd be putting that one off as long as possible too, S.
Jenny arrives at the gallery and finds Vanessa wearing a sweater last seem in the Designing Women wardrobe department. She offers Iz's dress to Vanessa, who happily accepts like a fucking moron. She tries it on -- not standing in front of any light bulbs that will reveal it's naughty tendencies -- and tries to thank Jenny, who waves away the sentiment, perhaps feeling guilty for what she's doing. Don't worry, Little J, V deserves it even more than you know. Nate calls Vanessa then, and Jenny takes that as her cue to leave as Vanessa tells Nate there's something she needs to tell him later that night.
Returning to Blair's again, B is pacing around her dining room, berating Dorota over Dorota's suggestions for Chuck's date. The first suggestion is another slut and the second is somewhere between Mormon and moron. Blair demands to know where Dorota came up with this unworthy souls, and Dorota hilariously says, "Facebook! I joined few groups." I so want to be Facebook friends with Dorota. Blair reminds Dorota of the consequences of Chuck not liking his date, and Dorota glumly replies that she doesn't want to be stuck shining Mr. Chuck's shoes for a month. "Yeah, his shoes if you're lucky..." Blair scoffs. LOL. Their interactions are second only to Blair and Chuck's.

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.
