Serena arrives home to find Lily packing for the trip. Lily lies and says she's going to the spa, but the cat is pretty much out of the bag when Rufus calls moments later. Serena gets an inkling of what's going on, and asks her mother not to be with Rufus because of how messed up that would be with her and Dan. Selfish, much? For some reason, Lily agrees, and meets Rufus to tell him it isn't going to happen. Lily should have just told Serena that there's as much of a chance of Serena and Dan making it to the altar as there is Lily being caught with last season's Chanel bag. Besides, no matter what the Botox says, Lily ain't getting any younger.
So Lily decides to accept Bart's proposal, and enjoys a polite and proper toast with him and their children. Eric notes that Lily looks as happy as Grandma CeCe or Auntie LoLo at last call, and Serena agrees, saying that Bart's lack of personality must be contagious. Rufus, meanwhile, puts on a happy face for the kids while he bides his time until Lily can yank him around by the balls yet again.
Looks like Chuck isn't the only one interested in a little incest.
So what did you guys think? Will Lily actually marry Bart, or will she tell Serena to stop being a selfish cow and date Rufus instead? Is it only a matter of time before Blair's secret is revealed? If the truth comes out, will Blair wind up with Nate, Chuck, or all alone? And can Serena and Dan do anything interesting, or are they doomed to suck forever?
I haven't seen next week's episode yet, but the previews look AWESOME, btw!
I wrote this recap by storyline rather than chronological order to save time, but let me know what you think about this format for the future. Whatever you guys like better, I'll do. Thanks again for your patience, and look for the next recap later this week!

Lenni from Ghostwriter!?!?!? NO - you didn't!!
LoLo - you are brilliant! (Mr. Humps kinda reminds me of Lenni's dad too) Why didn't Tina and Alex ever work it out? Personal confession: back in the day, I made my mom take me to every music store around trying to find Lenni's "album." (I think my line is a dot too...)
Oh - and normally I ignore all the completely ridiculous stuff in this show (like the Humps are poor..) but this episode, but when Chuck gave Vanessa 10 grand - she didn't keep it? I don't give a shit if he got the money running a whore-house in the Bronx, I would've taken that $$ in a heartbeat, especially if I was as "poor" as they make V out to be...whatevs...great recap!

No "misfit" looks like Vanessa on the show.
But this was a hilarious recap!

YAY! So excited to go to tvgasm and see that this was up. The chronological thing is nice b/c it's kind of easier, but it makes the recaps shorter- while I enjoy your humour (and Gossip Girl) so much I could read 10 pages worth of recap.
Something exciting needs to happen with Dan and Serena soon, b/c they are too boring for you to adequately express in writing.

LoLo - loved the recap - and for the most part it was an interesting twist to do it by storyline.
Great captions too.
Can we start a petition to have the hair stylist on this show fired? I mean I know she does an adequate job fluffing up Serena's hair so you don't quite notice all her dopey expressions. But I can not for the life of me figure out why she hates Blair so much. Seriously, aren't headbands designed to hold hair out of your face? Instead she always has the hair hanging down with the headband behind it - it makes no sense.
And don't get me started on the attrocities going on on the heads of Dan, Chuck, Rufus, Nate and Eric. (((shudders)))

Yay! It's here! I love the way you ordered it but really, either way is fine. Its the writing that matters. The previews really were the best part about this episode and if you think Dan and Serena were boring this episode, wait until the next one. I thought I was gonna stab my out eye watching those two. She just acts like his mum 24/7, WTH is up with that? And he's always these throwing gigantic hissy fits, jeez. Such a loser
