Nate and Vanessa are still on their coffee date, but are now strolling aimlessly down the street, flirting. The conversation turns serious as Vanessa admits she doesn't intend to go to college, and was only studying for the SAT so she could help tutor Dan. Loyal friend or pathetic loser, you decide. She says she would rather be a filmmaker than go to college. Last time I checked, those two weren't mutually exclusive. In fact, NYU has one of the best film programs in the country, dumb ass. Well her whole chat about being an under-educated starving artist for the rest of her life is an aphrodisiac for Nate, who plants a big smacker on her and drags her inside to make out. Swell.
At dinner, Georgina is on her best behavior, refusing the waitress's offer of booze and asking about Serena Second Edition, or Serena 2.0 as I like to call her. After a few tender moments, Serena ducks out to place a call, and the sweet smile on Georgina's face wipes off - and we see her drug Serena's diet coke. Haha, awesome. While in general I'd say I have a don't-drug-your-friends stance, I gotta admit, I'm in favor of this! Anything's better than Serena 2.0.
The next morning, Serena wakes up in Georgina's bed, dressed in her clothes from the night before and completely disoriented. Realizing that she's totally fucked for the SAT, Serena's confused and frantic. Hey, if you're gonna get roofied, I'd say this is one of the best possible outcomes. As Serena gathers her belongings and tries to put the pieces of the night together, Georgina convincingly feeds her lies about shots of Patron and a group of guys Serena wanted to go home with. Tauntingly saying that maybe Serena 2.0 was a bit premature, Georgina strolls out and Serena calls Chuck and begs him to stall the start of the SAT for as long as he can.
Oh, God, not another lesbian encounter. There's only so many of these I can chalk up to 'experimenting.'
Vanessa is on her way to work and encounters Nate sitting on a bench outside the coffee shop, waiting for her. He gently insists that she get in the car he has with him, and she admits that she's intrigued and gets in. For someone who thinks she's the smartest person on the planet, Vanessa's a real idiot sometimes. You know he's taking her to the SAT. She's too smart to let that talent go to waste, blah blah blah. I was totally fine with her ending up homeless in a gutter somewhere. Thanks, Nathaniel.
Elsewhere in the ghetto, Jenny's throwing another one of her temper tantrums, first pouting and then yelling at Rufus that Chubs is so much different than the other rich kids she's met, and how it's unfair that Rufus is pre-judging Chubs (whose real name is Asher it sounds like). Sensing weakness, she switches to a sweet voice and asks again if she can meet Chubs for lunch. Realizing that means Jenny didn't cancel - assuming she could get him to crack - Rufus angrily presents her with the phone and tells her no dice. Ooh, Rufus is so... not scary at all in his collarless shirt. For the love of God, Jenny, start sewing!
You will respect my authoritah!

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."
