Back at the hags, Blair is flipping through a magazine and vaguely taunting Emma about going to see a Disney movie when Emma stalks out of her room looking like the poor man's slutty Jennifer Love Hewitt before she got all fat photographed at unfortunate angles. Emma announces that her friend Muffy's been bragging about losing her virginity tonight to the lacrosse captain, and Emma's determined to beat her to the broken hymen. Blair tries to lay down the law, and winds up getting blackmailed when Emma threatens to destroy any remote chance B still has at Yale. Armed with a fake ID, credit card and plenty of stupidity, Emma runs out the door, with Blair closely behind.
"So help me God, you will see 'Bolt' and you will like it!"
Meanwhile, Dan's busy bitching at Jenny about quitting Eleanor's and keeping everything a secret from Rufus. She admits she's putting on a "guerilla fashion show" and that Mini Coop and her friends are going to model. When Dan hesitates, Jenny begs that this is her only chance to show people what she's got (why, I'm not sure, but okay) and Dan agrees to think about it while Jenny shoots pleading glances at Nate from beneath 20 tons of makeup.
Serena's at home, looking over camp pictures of her and the manwhore Aaron, when Blair runs in to accuse Serena of officially ruining her chances at Yale by sticking her with Emma. Unruffled, Serena suggests Blair bring Emma to the charity gala and stall, by which time Emma will have to return home. Emma comes into the room and Blair puts the plan into action, explaining that Emma shouldn't bed down with some Manhattan hipster who's probably filming her when she could bang one of the best. Emma falls right into the trap, and gleefully raids Serena's closet for something more suitable than the tie-dyed sack she's currently wearing. Not the smartest virgin in the 8th grade, that one.
Dan has decided to seek out Vanessa's advice on the Jenny situation -- because leaving Jenny unsupervised and free to run off without his permission sounds like a brilliant idea -- and is at the gallery cafe. Vanessa advises that Dan let Jenny do her show, since Vanessa needs to see what's fashionable these days given the fact she's chosen to wear a plaid blazer with large flowers printed all over it. What the double fuck? Nate's name comes up, and Vanessa snottily insists he's Dan's friend and not hers. He asks her if she still has feelings for Nate, and although she dodges the question, the answer's clearly yes. Guess you shouldn't have lied to Nate's face about the cougar. Idiot. Dan whines that he doesn't want Jenny to make a huge, life-altering mistake just as Rufus walks up and hears that last part. Ruh roh.
Congratulations, Vanessa. You have graduated from dressing like Punky Brewster to dressing like Helen Keller.
Chuck arrives at home and promptly runs into Emma, looking decidedly better in one of Serena's dresses. He introduces himself, and she practically orgasms on sight of the legendary Chuck Bass. She flirts with him, mentioning she's going to the gala -- only for Chuck to inform her she'll be the youngest person there by a few decades, at least. Pouting, she suggests Chuck take her out instead and he agrees, telling her it looks like she's just hooked herself a Bass. LOL. Meanwhile, Blair and Serena are getting ready when the butler hands Serena a small gift box. Inside is the "wedding ring" from her camp marriage to Aaron. Once again forgiving of Aaron's man whoring ways, Serena smiles softly as Blair runs, panicked, to announce Emma is gone.
Back in Brooklyn, Jenny is bustling out the door while Dan's back is turned (like I said before, idiot), insisting to a trailing Nate that she has to take advantage of her only chance to show her stuff. When Nate pleads with her to wait for Dan, Jenny snaps at him to prove that he cares about her by coming with her. Because Nate has no convictions and seems to go along with whomever talks to him last, he agrees and drives off with her and Mini Coop just as Rufus, Dan and Vanessa arrive, seconds too late to stop them.

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.
