That afternoon, Penelope, Hazel and Iz arrive at the same froyo shop from earlier to find Jenny, Eric and Nelly Yuki sitting at THEIR table. I was really hoping they'd utilize Iz's token black girl status here for a well-timed "Oh no she dint!", but no dice. They storm over, Penelope announcing that Iz is going to count to three before they go all Chuck Norris on their asses. And by Chuck Norris, I mean they'll call Jenny fat and point out Nelly's wearing last season's Prada shoes. Iz counts to one, and stands there struggling to figure out what comes next as all sorts of Constance students spill into the shop and grab tables while Jenny smirks. Realizing she's momentarily defeated, Penelope directs the minions out of there (with Iz uncertainly guessing 3 follows 2), placing a phone call to Daddy to report she's being bullied by a poor girl with a bad haircut. The horror!

Blair has now showed up at Victrola, the burlesque club that set the scene for her and Chuck's first, well, everything. She finds him there, entertaining several cellulite-ridden ladies and enjoying the VIP treatment since he's the owner once again after purchasing it the night before. Blair pleads with him to go home, her voice and demeanor still very fragile and thisclose to a nervous breakdown. He refuses, stating he's merely living up to what Bart thought was the limit of his potential. "It's time to let go of your fantasies," he tells her, then cruelly adding, "Is that it? Or were you going to tell me you love me again?" She quivers and attempts to snap, "Why did you even come back?" but it's too weak to be convincing. She leaves, looking like a hot emotional mess while Chuck's features settle into a combination of guilt and self-loathing.

Dan and Serena have arrived in the ghetto to ransack the place for evidence of why Lily and Rufus came to a screeching halt just as things appeared to be perfect. But before they can find anything, Blair texts Serena, begging for S to come to her. Serena goes, leaving Dan to search alone -- and find the number of an adoption agency.

"Okay, I know he's pissed at me, but he doesn't need to go all Lucille Bluth and order up another kid."

Blair arrives home basically in a daze, seemingly unconcerned when Dorota worriedly informs her that the Colony Club ladies will be there any minute. B makes her way to her room, sits in front of her mirror and begins sobbing for a few moments -- before eerily putting on a mask of complete composure. Seriously, our girl is starting to lose it, guys. Serena gets there shortly thereafter in response to the earlier urgent text, but Blair's creepy composed face insists it was a false alarm, and that worrying about Chuck is no longer her problem. Confused, Serena accuses Blair of abandoning Chuck for a bunch of society hags (who are arriving in the background), and Blair icily responds that she's not abandoning Chuck -- she's merely saving herself. I don't think Serena has any right to accuse Blair of abandoning Chuck. She's his stepsister and we haven't even seen her TRY to talk to him. And don't get me started on Nate.

Back at school (is this still the same day? What time is it? Why are people still there?), Jenny comes out of the headmistress's office to inform Eric and Nelly Yuki that she's been accused of bullying. Frustrated, she rhetorically asks why Penelope won't let Nelly quit the minions, and Nelly surprisingly responds that it's likely because Penelope wouldn't want Nelly telling people that Penny's banging her dad's junior partner. Whoopsie. Scenting victory, Jenny sweetly asks Nelly how much she knows.
