Testimonials

With Vanessa gone, Nate goes to find Jenny and ask her role in the humiliation. Jenny admits she was partially behind it, and Nate bitches at her that public humiliation was uncalled for. I disagree because 1) I don't think what they did was that bad, they made Cabbage Patch BALD for chrissakes and 2) Vanessa had it coming to her. Nate pulls out the letter and admits he had feelings for her and wrote her that letter, which Vanessa stole. Not really helping Jenny feel remorse for her actions, N. She tries to explain that things would be different if she'd gotten that letter, and he interrupts to inform her that he's glad she didn't because she's not who he thought she was. Okay, Nate can be annoyed with Jenny for this, but he has to be at least equally annoyed with Vanessa for stealing his shit and making both him and Jenny feel like crap, right? Maybe once again I'm attributing too much common sense and/or too many brain cells to Nate...

Chuck and Blair have been fighting for a while about their fug dopplegangers when they finally decide the bet is still on and they will make the most of their dates. They begin scouring the ball for their dates -- only to find Blair 2.0 and Chuck 2.0 making out in a corner. Blair notes this is a horrible out-of-body experience as she screams and starts clapping her hands at the couple like you do when your puppy starts to take a piss on your rug. The dopplegangers explain they were as surprised as the originals when they hit it off, but it's fate. Then they go back to making out. Bad dog! Upset, Blair turns to Chuck and demands how even their fug twins can make it work and they can't. When he doesn't have an answer for her, she stalks away.

Lily and Rufus are now sitting around, talking about how bad she's going to hurt Bart when she leaves him. Rufus, for the most part, looks bored and uncomfortable, as he should. She begs him to toss a morsel of affection her way, since we all know a woman who's been married and divorced as many times as Lily has been is a glutton for male attention. He painfully admits that he's regretted every day since he banged her on her wedding day, because he never should have let her go. Lily's all hearts and butterflies -- as we see Chuck skulking in the background...

"Hmm? What? Did I mention how nice your tits look tonight? Can we have sex now?"

We then join Bart in his limo -- and learn he actually DID fire his PI guy, but the PI guy isn't walking away from a hefty retainer without a fight. The PI insists that Bart wants to know why Lily was institutionalized, and Bart's insisting he doesn't just as Chuck calls -- and informs daddy that Dan's bed isn't the only one in the ghetto that's going to be a-rockin' tonight at this rate. Hanging up, Bart looks resigned and tells the PI dude to give him the dirt. I'm not really sure how learning terrible things about Lily helps here, unless he's planning on blackmailing her to stay with him. Although I wouldn't put that past him, I suppose.

Back at the party, Chuck confronts Lily and tells her he always liked her and that she was good for the family. While Rufus listens in the background and concentrates on downshifting his boner, Chuck informs Lily that Bart is on his way to the party and that she owes him a conversation. Cowed, Lily meekly nods in agreement.

Outside, Nate stops Vanessa just as she's getting into a cab. He unnecessarily rehashes her confession while she dissolves into a crying, snotty mess, which is somewhat of a dick move on his part. But it's Nate. He's probably just beginning to process what she told him. He then shakes his head and says that when she walked away from him tonight, all he could think was "DAY-UM I wanna tap that ass tonight!" No, wait. He actually says, "She's the one I want to be with..." ...because I can see the goods and they are looking mighty fine! Come on, what teenage boy -- especially one as horny as Nate -- was really thinking anything other than that when her bizzness was on display like that? He moves in for a tender smooch and climbs in the cab with her -- as a desolate Jenny watches across the street.

"Oh darling, you taste like salty tears, sweet roses, and... snot. Yes, that's definitely snot."
