Jenny and Elise are still man hunting days later - guess not that many guys are interested in a future felon - when they encounter Chubs the dog walker yet again. But it looks like their first impression was a little off - Chubs isn't the dog walker, he's the owner of the 6 inbred designer pups. Suddenly singing a different tune (that may or may not be "I Smell Money!") Jenny joins the crowd of bitches sniffing around his ankles.

Never one to miss an opportunity, Blair stalks Nelly Yuki until she finds her sitting in a hallway alone. Hitting play on her cell phone, a Flo Rida song comes blaring out as Blair sloooowly strolls by Nelly and hits pay dirt when Nelly begins to break down. In a sugary sweet voice, Blair pries for details - learning the ex-boyfriend's name - and insists that Nelly come to her place to cry it all out. And be tied up in the storage room until the SATs are over. And possibly be beaten up and posted on YouTube for the world to see.

Back in Brooklyn, Vanessa and Nate meet up for coffee for a yet-unknown reason. She gives him some shit about being late and evidently hanging out in Brooklyn way too much, for he and the waitress are on a first-name basis. Hey if you're gonna hit that shit, it's only polite to get a name. Nate takes the bitchiness in stride and reveals that Cappy's treatment center is in Brooklyn, hence his slumming it over there so often. That and his man-crush on Dan. As she gets a faint inkling of her heinousness, Vanessa confesses that she found and read what turned out to be Nate's SAT practice essay, on the topic of how Nate feels caught between his parents. She admits she asked him to meet her so she could apologize, which he accepts while ogling her boobs.

Serena reluctantly answers a call from Georgina, and receives the great news that G's ass will be back on its way to Europe come tomorrow. Georgina insists on making things up to Serena, and gives her a whole spiel about how she admires the changes Serena's made, and hopes that she can become boring and bland too. Even though it's the night before the SATs, Georgina manages to charm Serena one last time into agreeing to meet for a quick dinner. Big mistake. Big. Huge. She should just go shopping instead.

Uh, one, please... Uh... one rock of crack... A crack rock. Is that enough? Is one crack rock enough?

A few hours later, and Dan's efforts to make his head explode are almost paying off as he has a meltdown over vocab cards. Rufus arrives home and Jenny proudly stuffs her homework in his face, trying to earn a grounding reprieve. While Rufus has bought her a replacement sewing machine so she can keep making him those sexy plaid shirts, he's not quite ready to let his little troublemaker roam free - especially when she reveals she has a date with Chubs for the next afternoon. Unsurprisingly, Rufus doesn't really want his 15-year-old to be dating, especially another one of those rich kids who made her go all insane in the first place. Jenny tries her best, but winds up doing the indignant teenage girl shriek and stomping into her room. If only Chubs could see her now.

At Blair's, the next stage of Plan: Whoa Nelly is in effect as the girls all enjoy blended drinks and spa treatments - including Nelly Yuki. Unfortunately for Penelope, there's nary a Botox technician in sight. Blair cryptically remarks to a miserable Nelly that she thinks Nelly will be feeling better shortly, and silently communicates with the masseuse to forcibly push Nelly face-first in her massage chair. Might as well give her a little brain damage while you're at it. Seconds later, guess who arrives? Oh it's Todd, Nelly's ex-boyfriend of course! Nelly frantically asks if she has cushion face, and Isabel hilariously tells her like it is. After exchanging a few looks with Blair, Todd says he wants to talk to Nelly in private, and leads her away. He doesn't really strike me as particularly interested in working things out with Nelly, and I wouldn't put it past our Queen B to resort to bribery, would you?

You may be Asian, honey, but you're no Kati. Don't even think we're going to coordinate leg warmers, mmkay?

is it just me, or did they say that blair was already accepted to yale next year? why were they taking their SATs? did i miss something?

russlav:

Great recap, especially loved the Always Sunny in Philadelphia caption....Is one crack rock enough??

deliciousminds:

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.)

KermitGirl_22:

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

t-im:

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

LoLo:

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!

stina:

spoiler alert:

serena's brother is the one who comes out as being gay..or i should say he was outed. Eric was found making out with jenny's new boy

catycath08:

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!

ReeseWitherspoon:

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."

Jude C:

OMG, way to go with the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia crack rock reference!
