Lily: Do you have savings?
Rufus: Totally. I totally have savings.
Lily: I could help you.
Rufus: No.
Lily: You could sell the loft and move in with me. That's so much less weird than just borrowing money from me. The kids will love it!
Cue the revised Brady Bunch theme!
It's the story of a lovely lady,
Who was bringing up two very wealthy brats,
One of them had hair of gold,
Like her mother,
The youngest one in slacks.
It's a story of a man named Humphrey,
Who was living with two kids of his own,
They were poor and
Living down in Brooklyn,
Yet they were all alone and couldn't get financial aid for Dan's education.
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
And she knew that his money was in a crunch,
Now this man might sell the loft and move his family,
That's the way they all became the Upper East Side bunch!
After school (at least I think it's after school. It's hard to understand what time of day it is around here) Nate and Paddington Blair walk together through the park in the snow.
Blair: You should break up with Vanessa like Brad Pitt did with Jennifer Aniston. And then I can be Angelina! I'm wearing the same hat she wore in that one movie where she loses her kid, so we're practically sisters!
Serena and Poppy bring Jenny shopping for a fancy birthday dress because a fancy birthday dress is what one wears to a chili cookout/ board game night. While Jenny goes off to the dressing rooms, Poppy lays it out for Serena.
It's settled. There will be a party. Serena gets on the phone to un-cancel everything. Who cares if Jenny doesn't want an elaborate party. Who cares that she specifically requested a quiet evening of board games with the family. Serena has her social life to worry about.
Vanessa meets Nate at a restaurant for dinner. She barely sits down when he essentially says, "Let's break up. There's no one else by the way. In case you thought something is going on with Blair. There isn't. So don't think that." Vanessa isn't convinced.
Vanessa shows up to Nate's place where he is decked out in his finest Hugh Hefner robe. They discuss the "just friends" conspiracy between Nate and Blair. Those two are making fools of us, they proclaim. Well not anymore. Duhn duhn duhn!
Serena prepares for the Big Sweet 16 Blowout, while Blair blabs to her on the phone about her desire for Nate. He is my destiny, she confesses. At this point we all wish she'd pull a Back to the Future and say "density" instead. That would be so much more funny.

FYI, Scott is Lily and Rufus' son... the one they went looking for in Boston several weeks back.

welcome! funny recap, nice work!
I know Fluffy just explained about Scott... but I think the important part about him, is that his adopted parents told Lily & Rufus that he was dead when they went to look for him.

Love the recap! What I wonder is why someone doesn't think it is odd that Dan got a fan letter.

Also-PRODUCT PLACEMENT ALERT!
The new Verizon Hub
commercial was aired during this episode.
At the end of the episode,Serena sends a text to her Mother. It was read on the Verizon HUB!
The ads shown thus far never give an example of a teenage daughter texting her Mother about flying to Spain without asking.

WTF was with the "other person's boyfriend" comment regarding Blair. She and Nate did nothing wrong the entire episode. And to be fair NB was along way before NV and Vanessa was the one that essentially ended things with Nate by walking out on him. Blair may have liked Nate but she never made a move on him until NV were over (which, lets be realistic NV were dead in 216 after there was zero things in common and no drama with them). Nate was the only one that could get through to Blair and she needed someone like that since Serena was going through a quarter life crisis and chuck was just emotionally abusing her. Meanwhile CV were totally callous, petty, and pathetic. NB never would have even happened if chuck hadnt tried to make Blair fee,l guilty for no reason at school. He has no claim over her yet he still feels the need to emotional burden and pity whore, what a prick! I agree that CV is gag worthy though . I cant stand either character and find them to be obnoxious and poorly acted, so watching them together is twice as gross. The pro is that they stay the fuck away from the ppl I like on this show...
Overall, nice recap, but I just wondered if you were being serious about Blair bc she would be the last person to steal someones boyfriend on this show.

Eh. I could have done much better.
What happened to the old recapper? I really loved his/her stuff. Also there were episodes before this one that weren't even covered. There was TONS of hilarious material in those as well. For shame.
Oh well, get better screen caps and more sarcasm and we'll see.
