Nate surprises Blair by showing up at the party and bringing the keys to their new one-bedroom apartment. She's thrilled, but Chuck interrupts with disturbing news about Gabriel. He claims that the night he met Serena, they were at Butter. After much confusion I realized this was the name of a club. Blair has to choose between going to the new apartment or staying and finishing the mission. Then the narrator launches into her monologue which is filled with so much alliteration that I want to stab my ear drums.
Goober Gabe convinces Lily to invest in his goober company. Blair and Chuck confront Serena yet again to tell her that Gabriel is a liar!
Blair: He told Chuck he met you at Butter. But he couldn't have met you at Butter because Butter was closed because Butter Butter Butter Butter!
Serena: Butter? You're lame. You make poor choices all the time. Now it's my turn.
Chuck: We've got to talk to Georgina.
Drunk Vanessa and Dan are lying on the floor in that way that people only do in movies or in television. I have never seen this in real life. Why wouldn't you just lie next to each other? If you have ever posed this way before, I'd love to know. Vanessa spilled the beans that Rufus has no money for Dan to go to Yale.
Gabriel continues to find new investors at the party including Rufus. He doesn't really want Rufus' poor man money, but Rufus insists. Blair tries to get Nate to join her and Chuck on their Super Secret Spy mission to find the truth from Georgina, but he declines. Blair and Nate go alone. They have to stay overnight in a limo and wake up holding hands, which is just weird. After all that, Chuck decides it's best if he goes alone to visit Georgina. Before he leaves Blair alone in the limo, he fills her head with lies about Nate. Ps. I can never figure out what day of the week it is on this show. I swear these kids never go to school.
Turns out Georgina is at a Jesus camp. She hugs Chuck and asks if he's been saved. He looks terrified. Finally this episode starts getting good!
Serena and Gabriel wake up in his bed, which also happens to be the setting for a Nora Roberts novel. Red satin sheets? Seriously, Gabriel? Your douchebag-o-meter is rising. Serena brings up Butter (take a shot each time someone says butter and you will be hammered by the time the show is over). He tries to pretend like Serena is the only thing he remembered that night, but she knows something's up.
Georgina is a full-blown Jesus freak, already completely fluent in Christianese. Chuck finally asks if she knows Gabriel. He says he met her at Butter. She has no memory of the guy. Plus they never went to Butter.
Poppy shows up at Gabriel's apartment (after Serena is gone) and we learn officially that they are working as a team to make money. Serena is already on to Gabriel though. She calls Chuck at Jesus camp to get his input. He's about to go back to the city, but he's stranded. Blair took the limo. Chuck Bass is stranded at Jesus camp. If the next scene is Chuck playing guitar and singing "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," my life will be complete.
Sadly, the next scene is Gabriel and Poppy talking money again. They think they've got it all figured out until Serena calls to say she's coming back up and needs to talk. Gabriel is pissed because Poppy misinformed him about Butter. After all that, good ol' Rufus stops by to deliver his investment check. Poor sap.
Back in paradise, Blair shows up to her and Nate's new apartment. She thinks he got the apartment because he doesn't trust her. He's like, "Yeah, pretty much."
Serena discovers Gabriel is gone. He took all his stuff and left. Poppy's like, "What? I gave him half a million dollars!" Then the girls both stare at each other forever with their mouths partially open. This means something bad happened.

Mentioning 1990s plaid only makes me think of Jordan Catalano and the rest of the cast of My So-Called Life. He made it cool enough for me.
