After Rufus sees Dan off to school, he receives a phone call from an adoption agency telling him that they've had no luck in locating the bastard, and he's going to have to ask Lily for more information. Inside, Dan runs into Serena, who wastes no time telling him she dumped Pube-Face (YAAAAY) and found out from Lily that Lily and Rufus won't be boning anytime soon, so she and Dan are in the clear. And then they begin sucking face in the middle of the hall. Swell. Nothing like thinking about my parents' sex life to get me in the mood at 8:00 a.m.

"Lucky for you, Serena, I kept my high horse warm in the barn these past few months, and he's all ready to go."

After dislodging Dan's tongue from where it had wrapped around her liver, Serena finds Blair in the hall and races over to greet her. Serena asks if Chuck has been located, and Blair confirms he's back, sarcastically adding that she's surprised he made it through customs since his body odor could have given a contact high to half of Manhattan. LOL. Getting serious, Blair admits she told Chuck she loves him, declaring it a huge, awful mistake when Serena reacts positively. Are we really supposed to believe Blair has waited a month to tell Serena this? I'm pretty sure Serena was staying at a joint nice enough to have internet access, and it's not like either of these bitches can't afford an international phone call. Okay, sorry, logical thought relegated to the back burner again. Serena assures Blair that Chuck will say it once he gets his shit together, but Blair doesn't look too convinced and admits "there's something else." But before she can spill what sounds like a big secret (!!!), Dan quickly returns to his old ways of annoying the piss out of me by interrupting for another pre-English grope session with Serena. Blair stares in horror and leaves, announcing she has to go vomit. Ditto.

Lily arrives at the gallery to speak to Rufus, where some other chick than Vanessa is manning the espresso bar. Thank God we won't have to deal with her in this episode. Although she should be pretty worried about this other barista since she has absolutely no life outside that job. Rufus immediately demands to know where his kid is -- but in a really bizarre Scottish or Irish accent. Did anyone else hear that? I've listened to it ten times and the jackass sounds like Gerald O'Hara. Lily lets it slip that the bastard is male, and asserts that it's not fair for Rufus to go chasing after the kid and force his way into the kid's life. I'm not sure I agree with that in general, but with these two birth parents, I definitely do. The adopted parents could have rubbed the kid down with a t-bone steak and a splash of A1 before tossing him in the lion exhibit at the zoo and done a better job at parenting.

Across town, Jenny and Eric are eating froyo and watching Penelope and the currently-favored minions exact their punishment on Nelly Yuki. This evidently involves treating Nelly like their servant, making her literally wipe their feet. Pissed, Jenny storms over to their table to yank Nelly out of Penelope's grasp, much to everyone but Eric's surprise. Rattled that Jenny stood up to her, Penelope quickly shakes if off by ordering the midget Hazel on shoe-wiping duty. Looks like someone's been demoted.

"The patriotic look is in this month, okay? We saw it in Vogue."

Chuck has managed to pull himself slightly together and has now shown up at school, where he is lighting a joint. Blair spies him and yells at him to put it out, which Chuck responds to in a flat, disembodied voice that's downright creepy. Blair evidently is also shaken by it, and she grabs his face to get him to focus on her while demanding if he has anything to say to her. You know, like "I love you." He merely stares at her, and she whispers "Who are you?" More blank staring ensues, and then the headmistress gets jealous that she can't wake and bake too, and busts Chuck. Ruh roh.

Judging by the next-week preview, Blair and Jack clearly hooked up.

Glad there was no Nate or Vanessa, but overall, this whole episode kinda sucked. The acting wasn't that good.. the shifting is too convoluted. I'M CHUCK BASS.. come on.

Hopeful for tonight still.

alex_w:

I agree with above. Kind of a stinker after the last episode we got.

heygirl:

No mention of the DISGUSTING turtleneck Rufus Humps was sporting everywhere? What a douche.

katie4GG:

LoLo, this is the latest Gossip Girl recap to be posted for me. Have you done others that I somehow can't see, or was this the last one you wrote and the others are just really late? (not accusatory, just curious) I love/miss these recaps!

LoLo:

Katie --

Hey! I have actually posted one more recap after this one -- for some reason it's not showing up when you hit the "Gossip Girl" link on the left. The easiest way to find it is to go to my personal webpage (www loloscouch wordpress com (insert periods between each word there, I can't post links in the comments section here), and then the first posting on LoLos Couch is a link to the recap of the Yale episode.

I haven't yet recapped the weird Eyes Wide Shut episode. I'm on vacation right now (please don't hate me!) and I was swamped clearing out my workload before I left and I couldn't get it done. I hope to post something when I get back, but it honestly depends on how bad my workload is when I return. As in, if I can find my desk under the pile of crap I'm expecting.

Thanks for reading, thanks for your comments, and my apologies for being shitting with the posting lately!

LoLo
