Two weeks have passed since the last episode, and the build-up we all had to sit through last week is about to pay off. Serena hasn't seen hide nor hair of Georgina in this time - who has been busy becoming buddy-buddy with Dan and Vanessa as "Sarah." Jenny is officially dating Chubs the Chinless wonder, and enjoying flaunting it at every opportunity - especially in front of Blair. And the VDW-Bass wedding is still in full effect, with Chuck out of the country for the bachelor party (boooooo!), and Lily busy with wedding preparations.

Well, even though Jenny and Blair are still mortal enemies, they've learned how to play nice in the group setting, each seeming to command her own faction (B with Isabel and Kati's bespectacled Asian replacement, and Little J with Penelope, Hazel, and Elise). The uneasy truce hasn't stopped them from repeatedly texting false stories to Gossip Girl about one another though - silly, harmless stories that disappoint me, at least on Blair's part. Remember you saw Jenny get caught red-handed with a friend's stolen designer gown? Spreading that would be a hell of a lot more effective than claiming Jenny pilfers change out of fountains.

The girls, sans Serena, gather on the steps of the Met, where we learn Chubs and Jenny are throwing a party at his place that night -- not that Blair's invited, though. Jenny's busy being a heinous bitch about the party when Rufus calls to yet again whine about not seeing his offspring. You're not missing much, pal. Jenny spins a lie about a choir practice she has to attend that night, unaware that Rufus is currently staring at the dumpy Evite for Chubs' party on her computer. Okay, Little J, if you're going to lie to Daddy, don't be stupid enough to leave the Evite open on your computer and/or let him know your email password. Returning to her friends -- and I use the term loosely -- Jenny flounces around self-importantly for a few more minutes before Chubs picks her up, causing all the girls but Blair to swoon in delight. Blech, I find him so unattractive.

You can take the party hostess out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the party hostess.

Walking to school with Serena, Eric gets all meta by joking around about the crazy rumor that he is Gossip Girl (which was indeed a rumor in real life during the writers' strike). Upon arriving, he spies on Jenny & Co. flirting with Chubs, a strange look on his face. Given that this is the episode where someone comes out, red flags are waving all over the place chez LoLo. And I'm not talking about the ones the health inspector left here. As soon as Chubs leaves, Eric pulls Jenny aside to complain about how she won't return his calls, etc. That's so hot, I love it when a guy acts like my mother. Maybe next he can nag her about finishing that paper due Friday. Jenny begins gushing about how, like, awesome her life is now with her, like, amazing boyfriend, until Eric cuts her off to warn her that Chubs may not be the right guy for her. Instead of taking Eric's concerns to heart, Jenny patronizingly assumes he has a crush on her and with a condescending "you're so cute" runs back over to her friends. Wow, I cannot wait for fate to slap this bitch in the face.

Across town Georgina, or should I say Sarah, is sitting in Dan's coffee shop, chatting with Vanessa and waiting for her new BFF, Dan. Given what a bitch Georgina is, I'd love to hear what she thinks about the giant cookie cutters Vanessa has swinging from her ears. Dan arrives, and Georgie's patience in posing as Sarah pays off as Dan invites her to go out that night to finally "meet" Serena. This all seems like a pretty elaborate ploy just to make Serena talk to her... who else thinks that when Georgina isn't busy pretending to be Sarah, she's boiling bunnies in her hotel room?
