Welcome back everyone! This week on Gossip Girl Vanessa takes us on an inside tour of the inner workings of a political campaign, we witness the dissolution of the "rock solid" friendship between Queen Bee and Sluterena, and it seems Chace Crawford has discovered how to give the audience an emotion other than "stoned". More after the jump!
In fair Manhattan where we lay our scene, everyone is shuffling about in a twitter, prepping for the Congressional election. There is a shot showcasing a lovely portrait of Tripp Vanderbilt being carried into what I assume is the Bass Hotel, because Chuck is directing the movers. While King Bass does the hard work, Queen Bee makes herself useful by chastising a bell hop for standing idly next to the door.
Over at the coffee shop, Serena is discussing her new faux-beau, Patrick Roberts, with Casey. Casey tells Serena that her next assignment is to get Patrick photographed at the Vanderbilt election party. Is this supposed to be a representation of real life? You mean to tell me celebrities get involved with politics only for their own personal gain, and not because they actually care about the issues at stake? Hmm. Who'd have thunk? Serena tells Casey that it would take some major sexual favors to get into the Vanderbilt party after foiling Nate's plans to single-handedly win Tripp the election, and Serena has too much pride for that. Then, for about the 80th time this season Casey tells her that she needs to get the job done, or she's getting fired. This time I kinda believe that Casey actually would fire her if she didn't get herself and Patrick into the party. Let's face it Serena, you weren't hired because of your extensive resume, you were hired because of your almost unparalleled social connections, and if you can't get yourself into a party then you're useless. So you'd better flash those boobies the way we all know you can, and beg Nate to let you take a few pictures at the party, or you're getting the axe.
Back at the NYU dorms, Hilary Duff and HateHim Humphrey are blissfully enjoying each other's morning breath. Hilary makes a comment about Vanessa's absence, and wonders why she only spent 10 minutes in the room with them. Uhm, I dunno Hilary, but I'd venture to guess it's because she didn't want to witness your disgusting thigh bumping activities all through the night.
Dan tells Duff that Vanessa has been busy capturing the Vanderbilt campaign on tape for whatever documentary she's working on at the moment, but the only footage that he wants to see is Duff's appearance on Jimmy Fallon. She tells him that she's sorry she made him trek to the gelato shop, but she had a major craving for an iced treat. Dan tells her that he'll watch it online, but she says that she'd rather he watch it in HD, which translates to "please don't watch the interview because I probably said something incriminating about you."
As he's walking through the hall----OhMyGod a black person! Right there! How did this happen? I thought that the only black people the producers allowed on this show were that one Mean Girl and Vanessa's mother. You know, African-American characters strategically placed so that the show doesn't seem racist, but this particular cameo character doesn't seem planted at all. Curious...
The guy tells everyone to clear the way because "Bathroom Boy" is coming through. I don't get it...

You write better end-monologues than they do! :)
No Eric at all? Weird, since Connor Paolo used to be Bree Williamson (Brandice)'s castmate on "One Life to Live."
As for Nate, I think his grandfather puts him in charge of shit just to use him as a walking advertisement for what happens when people don't follow his superior judgment -- you know he didn't want his daughter to marry Archibald, and look what resulted.

DaffyMaiden:
Yes, no Eric this week was a bit odd, but I suppose after giving him more than 5 minutes screentime last week, we won't be seeing him for at least four more episodes.
Also, I KNEW I recognized "Brandice" from somewhere, I just couldn't figure out where!
