I'll be in college, he gloats. You'll be moving on up. To the Eastside. Get it? Dan proceeds to recite the rest of The Jeffersons theme song, and Jenny accuses him of watching too many old sitcoms on hulu. Silly siblings. They're mature enough to appreciate old sitcoms, but hip enough to reference hulu. They're so well-rounded.
Jenny and Dan exit the elevator to find a party going on. Uh-oh. Not just games and chili anymore. Even the snotty girls at school showed up. In fact, they canceled their party when they heard Poppy was going to be there. Apparently this is a major party that revived both Jenny and Serena's social status, but the party looks pretty boring to me. It's a bunch of rich teens trying to act like boring adults. Where's the chips and dip? Where are the kids snapping photos for their MySpace default pics? Where are the heated discussions about Twilight?! These kids are zombies.
I want my chili!
Needless to say, Jenny is pissed. When she asks for chili and board games with the family, she means it! She gets back at Serena by inviting everyone in the world to the party via the Gossip Girl website.
Chuck is in the elevator with Vanessa, staring at her like a piece of meat. When they get to the party they see Nate and Blair talking. What are they doing here? Vanessa wonders. What do we do? Vanessa gets her revenge by pulling Chuck in close and kissing him. Yuck. How that guy gets so much action, I'll never know. I'd rather kiss Weird Al.
Slowly but surely, Jenny's post on Gossip Girl brings in a bunch of lower class kids. They're asking for beer for God's sake! And they're dancing! Next thing you know they'll be eating chili and playing board games. Serena is freaking out.
Meanwhile, Nate and Vanessa are arguing again. Blair whisks him away into the bedroom and proceeds to seduce him. "Let's be friends!" he suggests. She is not pleased. He reaches out to run his fingers through her hair, which is kind of weird considering it's back in a ponytail. She's pulls back. "Only my boyfriend gets to touch my hair." OooOOooOOooh, them's fightin' words.
Do NOT touch the hair.
Dan and Serena are making her bed (because some of those poor rowdy kids were having sex in it) when they find out something is awry downstairs. The door man is freaking out because a crowd of hooligans is banging down the doors.
Why am I dressed like a pilot?
The crowd clears quickly once the cops show up. And right behind the cops are Rufus and Lily. Gulp! Someone's getting grounded.
One of you must die.
Rufus and Lily learn that maybe their
Brady Bunch dreams aren't a good idea. They try to guess which kid is to blame for the punks at the party. Actually their only guess is Serena. Finally Jenny pipes up.
Jenny: I wanted chili and she threw me a party! So I invited everyone.
As the kids disperse, Dan lets on that he knows Rufus is selling the loft. Oh, parenthood. Just one crazy thing after another.
Serena meets up with Poppy at a swanky bar (yay for underage drinking!) and Poppy convinces her to go to Spain. It's the place where dreams come true. You can come with me and my hot boyfriend. Ps. Serena needs to brush her hair.
I'm too rich to brush my hair.
Rufus and Lily officially decide not to move in together. But what about Yale? Dan's been eavesdropping.
Dan: What about Yale?
Rufus: Um, you're not getting financial aid.
Dan: Oh.
Rufus: Stay positive. Everything will work out.
Dan: Okay, Dad!
It's a Brady Bunch ending after all.
Blair drags Dorota through the snowy park to complain about how much she misses Nate. They have a loaf of bread for feeding the ducks. A whole bag! I get bored feeding ducks after two slices, and I usually just rip them in half before tossing them on the ground.
Dorota, you have to carry the bread because you're the help. That's how it works.
Dorota is positive that Blair will be happy soon, and before you know it, there's Nate! He called to find out where Blair's favorite spot is because that's where he wanted to share their first kiss. Awww. Her favorite place is a quaint spot at the park where she can feed ducks? Funny, I thought her favorite spot was inside the pants of someone else's boyfriend. Oh! Yeah, I just went there. They make out and everyone is happy. Even frozen Dorota.

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.
