Back at 1oak, Blair is literally thanking God for giving her blackmail material on the hag when Serena comes over and lectures Blair that B can't do that. Stunned, Blair reminds Serena that blackmailing comes as naturally to her as breathing, and Serena insists the family needs help. Well, true, but I don't really see that as being their problem, Dr. Phil. Disgusted and late for the gala, Serena leaves when Chuck announces he knows where the tacky Serge character lives and therefore where to find Emma. Sidenote: Anyone else notice that Serena's dress for the gala is probably the most conservative, appropriate article of clothing she's put on in weeks? Meeting with Yale Dean -- vulva and areola. Fancy evening event -- nun's habit. Wtf?
At the gala, Rufus is waylaid by Bart and Lily when Dan finds Nate and slams him up against a wall. Showing an indignant Nate the picture on Gossip Girl, Dan delivers a scathing lecture that for once is called for. Apologetic but a bit insulted, Nate insists things just happened and he's not a bad guy -- only to be interrupted by Dan who goes, "No, you're just the guy who trades sex for money." Haha. Nate offers to help Dan find Jenny, but Dan rejects this and instead that Nate move out immediately. Looks like giving handjobs on the street it is, Archibald.
"Whoa, what is going on with my hair in that pic? I knew I needed more gel... I'm sorry, were you saying something?"
Blair and Chuck have arrived at Serge's, but Emma won't open the door until she's bleeding, possibly pregnant and definitely a new STD statistic. Blair and Chuck yell through the door to check Gossip Girl, and when Emma does, she yanks open the door and wails in despair that it says "Muffy's muff gets stuffed." Hell-o that's a bit much for family hour, CW. Realizing that she's lost the v-card swiping race, Emma is crestfallen just as Serge calls from another room for her to come there. Blair, Chuck and Emma respond, and Blair shrieks in horror at something off-camera and announces she feels violated, while grabbing Emma and dragging her out. Amused, Chuck tells the presumably-naked Serge to lose the tulip. Yeah, because that sounds like the biggest problem. Tacky is right.
Serena is on her way to the gala when she calls Aaron and gets his voicemail, which is personalized for her -- and really awkward for anyone else who's going to call him. Charmed again, Serena begins leaving a sweet message when a random girl answers his phone and informs Serena Aaron's in the bathroom. Umm, since when can you answer your phone after someone's begun leaving a voicemail? I somehow doubt she's calling a home number. So for the third time, Serena huffs and puffs in irritation over how Aaron dare be hanging out with other girls. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for her in this situation. She's never even gone out with the kid, and she's acting like a jealous girlfriend. She has no standing to get pissed off. Tough shit.
At the gala, Nate's trying to run out when Jenny stops him and learns that Rufus and Dan are there, and Dan knows about the smooching. The show's about to start and Jenny begs Nate to stay. Proving my point from before, Nate agrees since Jenny is the last person who talked to him. However, the length of Jenny's skirt may have also helped in her persuasive technique.
You know it's bad when even Serena would say, "Damn, girl, that's inappropriate."
Lily and Bart are just about to receive their philanthropy award when the lights are suddenly cut and truly awful pseudo-punk music fills the room. Sounds like Avril Lavigne finally got a gig after all these years. As everyone looks around in confusion, a gaggle of models run in and and jump on tables while an angsty black and white video plays on the screen. It's all very loud and immature. And let's talk about the designs themselves for a while. Jesus Christ. My sorority had an annual event called Tacky Prom, and I think I could have worn any of these outfits and been crowned Queen. My outfit of choice for that event, btw, was a pure white dress with a bustier bodice, a three-tiered ruffled skirt, and then white lace over the bodice to the throat and down to the wrists. It was phenomenal. But yeah, this shit is costumey and fug. Her green dress and the one she wore last week were both super cute, so what the hell happened, Little J? Did you design a personal line for Vanessa?

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.
