Meanwhile, Serena and Eric are walking to school, Eric bitching away that Jenny's hagging is getting completely out of control for she is constantly cramping his style with his boyfriend, Blahathan. While he appreciates having a ho to his 'mo, girlfriend has got to get some other friends. Serena, caught up in her own drama with Dan, patronizingly tells him to play nice before sinking back into self-absorption. As they arrive at school, we get to see what Eric means, as Jenny is already there chatting up Blahathan and planning fun dates for the three of them to go on. Okay while she's mastered step 1 of the path to spinsterhood (getting in good with the gays), somebody needs to help Little J with step 2 -- getting a shitload of cats to stay at home with and talk to like they're people. Like, at least six of them. Bonus points for every lint brush full of fur on your clothes.
BRB gotta feed my cats cat strapping yet sensitive Hugh Jackman-doppelganger doctor boyfriend. Goddammit. Where's the lint brush?
Serena goes and finds Dan, and assures him she's spoken to Lily that morning and nothing is going on between her and Rufus. So problem solved! Well, except for the bastard she still knows nothing about. Dan (unconvincingly only to us it appears) assures her that they're good now, then quickly calls Rufus to whine about keeping secrets once S leaves. While Rufus promises Lily will tell Serena and Eric soon, Dan is unfortunately overheard by Penelope, Iz and Nelly Yuki. While not having any idea what the secret Dan's hiding is, they dutifully pull out their cell phones to report to Gossip Girl that Dan's hiding something.
Poor Hazel went home in shame after confusing plaid day with polka dot day again.
Chuck's now on the street after having left the attorney's office, and Blair follows him out. He insists Bart is setting him up to fail, but she insists that it was a NICE gesture instead and that Chuck can do it. She hands him the letter to finish reading, which Chuck takes as a suspicious Jack watches from afar. A while later, having read the letter, Chuck arrives in Bart's old office, where Jack is sitting and reviewing paperwork. Chuck thanks Jack for helping him, and Jack flippantly says that since Chuck was the one who noticed the Thai waitress Jack was gonna take home had a penis, he figures they're even. Not that I think Jack would care. Chuck stops beating around the bush and informs Jack that he will accept the 51% controlling interest, and he wants to run the company for real and not just in name only. Pissed as hell, Jack tosses the papers he was holding on the desk and storms out while Chuck takes his place behind the desk. Who else is getting nervous about how Jack will exact revenge?
Back at school, Dan arrives at his locker to find someone trashed it, for Gossip Girl's spread her news by now and people are furious Dan would be keeping secrets from or possibly even be cheating on their lovely Serena. Blair walks by without lifting a finger to help (not like she would have even before this latest GG tidbit), and receives a phone call from Jack. He apologizes for his behavior at the will reading, and tells her he wants to throw a congratulatory surprise party for Chuck. She points out that's in really poor taste, but reluctantly agrees to a surprise brunch the next day as Jack keeps pushing. They hang up, and Jack smugly smiles. Shit. He's so going to reveal to Chuck that something happened between him and Blair at that brunch, in front of everyone.
Rufus and Lily are meeting with a family attorney, who shares the good news that he's tracked down the bastard's adoptive family. However, since the bastard hasn't registered with a service for his bio parents to be able to find him, and since it was a closed adoption, the attorney can't help Rufus and Lily get in touch with the kid. Rufus loses his shit for a few minutes, but the attorney calms him down by offering to get in touch with the adoptive parents and feeling them out. Rufus jumps on it of course. As for Lily...
Not exactly the expression I'd recommend for the reunion.

So I'm speculating big time here but...IF Jack and Blair did the horizontal tango who's to say that Chuck or Blair couldn't use that in the "Morality clause" right back against Jack?
Sleeping with your nephews high school girlfriend/friend is pretty skeezy.

Love the recap. I was as saddened as you were by Vanessa's return, but i was delighted that there was no actual NV in this episode, the only thing that is more annoying than Vanessa is her turning Nate into a self righteous ass as well.
This episode, wasnt very interesting aside from the chuck/blair/jack stuff TBH. I love DS but they were tainted by the lameness of RL.
I actually am 100 percent positive that JB didnt have sex, I think at most she kissed him, was flirtations or vulnerable around him and lost her composure. Jack is like chuck in that he turns everything into sexual innuendo, so what happened i think is being built up. Blair wouldnt be that comfortable around him otherwise.
Okay, about CB, I was disgusted with Chuck and honestly I cant even be mad about Jack, Chuck was the one that dug his own grave. Ppl say that Nate/Blair was dysfunctional but at this point Chuck/Blair has become downright emotionally abusive for blair, its quite sad. I was so glad she finally took a stand at the end, Chuck really effed up and some flowers werent gonna fix it. Im also sick of the logic that blair "smothered" him in this episode and that it was her fault that he screwed up, bullshit. Blair was like that bc just a week ago chuck was suicidal, her behavior has been a direct response to his imo.
Other than that, Blair, totally swiped that dress from S, although, I think it looked less trashy on her bc it was occasion appropriate and her knockers arent porno sized like Serena's, it was like evidence that chuck is a moron in that scene, lol

Maybe I am the only one driven crazy by this but I hate how Dan/Jenny and Serena/Eric act like they're siblings now. They don't share any parents between the pairs, and they do not, as I believe Eric said, share DNA. I probably sound like I'm getting too serious about this but it just drives me insane. So yeah, it is kind of weird and creepy to be dating your half-sibling's other half-sibling but...it's not incest. Not saying I would be cool with it myself, but they really are not related.
Ok, I just had to get that out there.

How old would this bio-son be? And are they writing KR's pregnancy into the show?
