The next morning, Nate is back at his own place when Chuck arrives after hearing Nate had returned. Looking around, Chuck asks Nate what the hell is going on, and Nate snaps back that he told Chuck there was financial trouble. Chuck points out he had no idea how bad it was, and tells Nate he's coming to stay at the Bass-VDW place when Nate says he's going to stay with CrazyEyes in the Hamptons. Nate refuses, and seems unnecessarily pissed off about it. What's up with that? Is he still mad at Chuck for screwing with Dan at Yale? You'd think that'd be a moot point given the time that has passed and the fact Dan got physical with him and called him a whore. Or is this just pride? If so, why so angry?
Blair's lounging in bed, feeling sorry for herself, when Serena pops in and tries to cheer her up by reminding Blair there are other schools, like Princeton. "Princeton's a trade school!" Blair snaps hilariously. If those are her standards, then I might as well have gone to clown college. Blair's phone rings and it's the Dean. Ruh roh. As she takes that call, a servant informs Serena she has a visitor, so she goes out to greet Aaron in a silk nightie and heels. Serena really needs to stop watching porn since she evidently thinks this is appropriate. Upon joining him, Serena again is self-righteous -- something she must have picked up from dating Dan, swell -- and pissy about Aaron's "harem" and "posse." He starts to defend himself and realizes he doesn't have to, telling Serena she either thinks something is there or she doesn't. I think this guy's a bit of a douche, with his motorcycle, dirty hair and penchant for scarves, but good for him. Serena melts of course, since she has little to no backbone when it comes to guys she likes, and she and Aaron make a dinner date for that night as Blair comes running into the room, screaming ecstatically. Turns out Emma put in a great word for Blair with the Dean, and it now looks like someone is going to Yale.
In the ghetto, Rufus notes that Jenny stomped out around 6 am, and Dan mentions he was up all night finishing his Charlie Trout story for that drunkard writer who encouraged him to find out Chuck's secrets. Rufus tries to tell Dan not to be an asshole, but Dan is having none of it, and whines about Jenny's success making him feel like a failure. You are a failure, get over it. And now you're going to be a huge douchebag to boot. Not to mention, you're applying to creative writing programs and that story is pretty much non-fiction because you're too talentless to come up with any original ideas. Ugh. He was finally starting to get a tiny bit on my good side these past few weeks, and now he pulls this crap. Dan finally brushes off Rufus's "do the right thing" lecture by telling Rufus to look in Jenny's room -- and realize that Jenny is gone gone, as in moved out. Rufus cries. Maybe next time don't try to get your spawn arrested, asshat.
"Maybe I can live in here?"
As the episode winds to a close, we see Nate mailing a mystery letter to Jenny, Dan mailing the Charlie Trout story to the writer, Blair and Serena pouring over the Yale course catalogue, and Jenny's trudging around with her suitcase and sewing machine, looking like a crack whore. So what did you think? Did you think this was as much of a filler episode as I did? Am I blind, or are Jenny's clothes heinous? Do you like Serena and Aaron now that we've seen more of him? Will Dan's decision blow up in his face? What's next in the Jenny-Nate-Vanessa triangle? And where the hell is Jenny going?

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.
