Back at the bar, Georgina's influence has been working its magic as both girls are totally drunk and laughing their asses off over stories of their old exploits. They're approached by two guys who had bought them a round earlier, and while Serena politely discourages them, Georgina puts on a terrible fake accent and starts making lewd hand gestures. Charming! Georgina's thisclose to convincing Serena that an orgy would be a totally awesome idea when G's phone rings. Serena jokingly answers it, only to be stunned when Georgina's cranky drug dealer doesn't want to put up with drunken high school girl crap. Instantly sobered, Serena runs away and calls Chuck to whine about Georgina's evil influence and ask him to help cover for her with Dan, whose house she's supposed to be studying at. After giving her a little shit, he agrees.
Dan's at home studying like a good boy when Chuck calls and claims Serena has food poisoning and won't be making their play date. Dan doesn't believe the story and asks to speak to Serena, and Chuck does little to calm his fears that Chuck finally got the incest to happen. This is why I love Chuck - deep down he's a good guy and will help out a friend, but that doesn't mean he won't fuck around and get his kicks in too while he's at it.
The next morning at school, Dan stomps over to Chuck and blames him for Serena's recent strange behavior. I kind of wanna feel sorry for Chuck, always getting blamed for anything that goes wrong, but we all know he's just lying in the bed he made for himself. Serena runs up to them and gushes to Dan that her migraine is gone, raising Dan's paranoia level up another notch as the story doesn't match. After a brief interrogation on the details of the food poisoning - was it heading north or south? - Dan whines about not understanding what's going on and runs off. Chuck, who had been hovering in the background, suggests Serena just tell Dan the truth about Georgina, but Serena steadfastly refuses.
Meanwhile, Plan: Whoa Nelly is in full effect. Hazel and Penelope have cornered the bespectacled wunderkind and are doing their very best to convince Nelly they want her as their newest minion. I mean, with Kati gone, who's going to be the token Asian? But when Nelly reveals she doesn't drink, hates shopping, and is lactose intolerant, the minions are stumped. However, an eavesdropping Blair does pick up on one useful tidbit of information - Nelly's boyfriend has just dumped her at a Flo Rida concert. Probably for using the phrase "waving our hands in the air like we just didn't care." The minions pretend to be sympathetic while they gather the intel.
Ugh, pretending to have a soul is SO gonna give me forehead wrinkles. Blair's spa study sessions better include a Botox technician or I'm gonna be, like, super pissed.

From the way that everyone was looking at their laptops and saying, "Is that SERENA?" I'm guessing she and Georgina made a sex tape. That explains the the "gay bomb," as Hazel put it. Everyone knows Serena was a drunk and a slut, but no one knows that she was a drunk, LESBIAN slut! (yet.)

The screencap: "Who... little ol' me?" made me laugh out loud at work. Well played.

Blair doesn't want to go to Princeton. She wants to go to the Gay Ivy! (Yale)

Oops, yes, Blair wants to go to Yale. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for catching it, guys!
As for her Yale status, I don't think she's been officially accepted -- somewhat impossible given she's only a junior -- but I think her chances look very good assuming she scores high enough on the SATs. And we'll have to see about that. I'll be surprised if it's that easy for B.
And I think the chances of a sex tape are pretty good, which would be sorta awesome.
Thanks for reading!

Ahh, FINALLY the recap's here! And worth the wait too :D NY Mag have nothing on you sweety (channeling 'G', I know).
But seriously, can we just please take a moment to register the fact that NO ONE is an uproar over a drastic writing mistake made in this episode...Cappie's rehab is in Brooklyn? Really? No.Fucking.Way. Clearly, someone meant to put Switzeland or wherever it is that the rich and addicted go to get rid of their demons. But other than that, great episode. Loved Blair telling poor Hazel she was just along for the ride (LOL), because really, she is. I love her little facial expressions tho (Hazel that is), they say so much more than words.
No Blair and Chuck interaction at all (booo) and even worse, there's no Chuck in the next episode but at least Serena's big secret is finally coming out. YAY!

I absolutely love this show, but two things...
1. I was thinking the same thing about registering for the SAT. You don't just waltz in off the street saying "Gee. I think I wanna take the SAT." Don't work like that, honey.
2. When Serena awoke from her drunken stupor she was at the Sherry Netherland which is on 5th and 60th. Hunter is on 68th and Lexington. Bitch could totally have made it. I was just thinking "Run, fool."
