This week on Gossip Girl, we focus on Jenny for the second week in a row in this filler episode that hopefully is just setting things up for better plots to come.
J Humphrey Designs. Call 917-VERY-FUG.
We open with Jenny and Mini Coop organizing a whole wardrobe of clothing Jenny has been making for a fashion show she's planning, and Jenny bitching that Nate's been ignoring her ever since he stuck his tongue down her throat. Maybe he's as sketched out by their pairing as we are. Mini Coop tells Jenny that she needs to take the initiative with Nate, which is probably true because Nate's too stupid to figure out what to do next. I imagine every time he goes to have sex, he just stands there with his dick hanging out awaiting further instructions, bless his heart.
Dan and Nate are strolling along, their bromance continuing, while Dan tries to figure out what Jenny's been up lately with her secretive behavior. Dan then gets a text from the Ferret from Yale, whom Nate doesn't remember at all. When you nearly bang a lot of different fugly chicks, they all start to blur together. Anyway, the text says the Ferret had three professors read Dan's stories, and they've all been carted off to the psych ward when people assumed their uncontrollable laughing was due to insanity. Nate thinks this sounds like good news, but Dan disagrees, suggesting that the reason the Ferret's given his stuff to multiple profs is because they each keep refusing to do the recommendation and she's trying to find someone who will. Yeah, that sounds about right. The Ferret's text also says she'll call later, so Dan decides to bail on Nate for the movie they were going to see and head home to stare at his phone and work on his high horse mounting skills, which have gotten a bit rusty lately.
Across town, Serena and Blair are meeting with some snotty rich woman about Yale. Blair, wearing an absolutely gorgeous red dress, is trying to charm her way into the hag's good graces, but the hag only wants to talk to Serena, despite Serena's hemline riding up to her vulva. The hag steps away for a moment, and we learn from the girls that the hag and her husband are prominent Yale donors and good friends of the Dean. The hag returns and mentions she and her husband are going out for the evening and leaving their daughter alone in the hotel with room service. Inspiration -- and likely a few cold drafts -- hits Serena, and she volunteers Blair act as glorified babysitter for little Emma, in order to get in good with the hag. Catching on, Blair agrees, and the hag calls Emma into the room. Emma appears to be a year or two younger than Jenny, and sweet as can be. I don't buy it. Too many servile nods of the head or something. Somehow, I don't think this is going to work out as B and S think it will.
"Psst, B, just show some leg already! That seems to get these Yale perverts all hot and bothered."
Out on the street, Serena runs into Aaron and admits she finally remembered him as her husband from camp. He asks her when she figured it out, and she passively aggressively says it was about the time she saw him drive away with some chick on his motorcycle. Good thing you're hot, S, because it's a bit early to be waving your crazy flag for most girls. He claims he recognized her the instant he saw her, and a mollified Serena invites him to attend a charity gala that's being thrown in Lily's honor. But before he can reply, a cute brunette runs up, apologizes for being late and smacks him on the lips. Annoyed and disgusted at herself, Serena immediately leaves.
Nate and Dan arrive back at the ghetto and find Jenny and Mini Coop shepherding their fashions out the door and gloating over Eleanor's reaction. Dan gapes in shock as he realizes his little sis found a way to make herself look even stupider than she did last week -- this time with the help of more eyeliner than even Criss Angel would wear and a feathered pin cushion she's decided to wear as a hat.

Personally, if I were Rufus, I probably would've had Rosemary's Baby arrested too. What a pain in the ass.

AWESOME recap. But could you try and get them in before Sunday, since after watching the proceeding episode, your recaps can get a little confusing, since I keep thinking of events that happened last night.
Aww I liked Jenny's stupid hat, 20 pounds of makeup and the majority of her clothing. But this has more to do with me being closer to her in age than it does different tastes.
I so enjoyed Blair and Chuck as the scheming pair again.

I agree. Can you post your recaps faster. They just don't seem to have the same umpf a week later.

I agree. Could you post your recaps a little faster? They just don't have the same umpf a week later.
On another note, I know Serena is supposed to be cool and all, but seriously... The way she was lounging while talking to that Yale lady was totally inappropriate. Especially with her leg and half her ass hanging out.
And while Blake Lively has great boobs, I am tired of a 17 / 18 year character showing them off ALL THE TIME! Enough already.

Hey guys, I totally agree that I'm getting these recaps up too late, and I hope you accept my apologies. It may not look like it, but I'm trying. My real-life job has taken over my life, and I've been working 50+ hour weeks. Gotta love being a first year. That being said, I will try harder, and do my best to get the recaps up by Thursday night at the latest from now on. Sorry again, but thanks for reading!

As long as your recaps come in before the next week's episode, I'm cool with the "lateness". Then again, I'm two weeks behind on the episodes so these seem on time to me.
I mentioned this in the previous recaps, but...Taylor and Chase (Chace?) are an item in real life, which makes their kissing scenes even more icky.
I don't understand why the Yalies are ignoring Blair so much. It's not like she doesn't have a decent pedigree. The fashion show they were oohing and aahing over Serena modeling in? Yea, that was Blair's mom's show. I'm glad to see Blair and Serena are both getting in now. (Season 3?)
What's up with Serena's new slutty wardrobe (even on Yale interviews!)? And is it just me or does Blake Lively have some brand new breast implants? She looks to have gained a whole cup size..and push-up bras don't take away the natural jiggle if you know what I mean.
Rufus hit an all-time low for me trying to have his own kid arrested (even if it is Jenny). He needs to get a life. Soon.
