Dan goes to the gallery to ask Rufus about the adoption agency, and Rufus stupidly asks if Chuck spilled the secret. Rufus asks for more time before he can explain, and Dan snottily insists they're past that, and storms out. I don't even know who's right here, because they both annoy me so much I don't want to side with either one of them. Knowing from Gossip Girl that Chuck's having a party at Victrola that night to celebrate his re-acquisition, and Dan heads there to question Chuck about the adoption agency. After wryly musing to himself that he was going to keep Lily's secret, Chuck agrees to answer Dan's questions, stating this makes them even for Dan burying the arson story about Bart. And so Chuck spills it all, warning Dan that when Serena finds out, it will be completely over between them. Ooh! Tell Serena! Tell Serena!

Picture 7-36

"Dude, even I wouldn't bang a girl I shared a sibling with. And this is coming from a guy who's pretty sure some of those Thai hookers had adam's apples."

Meanwhile, Blair's having tea with the Colony Club ladies, which is basically Penelope and the minions 30 years later in pastel argyle and cooters as dry as sawdust. After exchanging some bullshit about charity work (which in these circles means giving money away because you wouldn't want to sully yourself by mingling with the middle class or --GASP-- minorities), the main hag snootily asks if that was Serena they saw leaving earlier. Blair admits it was, and the hags begin making catty comments about Serena's frequent appearances on Page 6 and her evident enjoyment of necklines cut to the aerola. They have a point, and must have seen pictures for the Yale weekend. Blair uncomfortably downplays her friendship with Serena, and then the hags begin shit talking Chuck and Bart, calling Bart's death a "mercy kill." Ouch. Evidently for Blair, calling Serena a trashy slut is one thing, but insulting Chuck is another, as B stands up and announces she's leaving because Chuck needs her. She orders Dorota to see to their coats as she flounces out the door, and Dorota fabulously smirks at the hags in satisfaction. She wouldn't want to be friends with any of their servants anyway.

At Victrola, Chuck's beginning to hallucinate/fall into a complete trance when Eric finds him and asks him to come home. Okay, I know Chuck, Serena, Blair, etc., never get carded and can get into any club, but Eric?? The kid looks 12, and I doubt Chuck did anything to help Eric gain entrance given Chuck's anti-VDW stance right now. Sorry, that pesky logic's rearing it's head again. Anyway, Chuck ignores Eric's pleas, grabs a bottle of booze and announces he's going to the roof -- telling Eric it was nice having him as a little brother. Eric just stands there. Umm, Eric? Depressed Chuck + booze + rooftop + cryptic goodbye message = not really a good situation, I'm thinking. Seeing as though Eric has attempted suicide himself, you'd think he'd realize that too. C'mon, you're supposed to be the smart VDW, not that that's saying much.

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
