So no beating around the bush, so to speak, on Gossip Girl. Chuck did indeed divest Blair of her chastity belt in the back of his limo. The question is: What will be the fallout?
Despite a hilarious confession to a Catholic priest, Blair doesn't seem to broken up about losing her virginity. Sure, she wants Nate back and warns Chuck that last night never happened, but dare I say it? She looks happy, alive ... less uptight. Strangely enough, it's Chuck who's not faring well. He admits that he *gasp* likes her and is jealous of her thing with Nate. He has butterflies. He hates it. It's so ridiculously delicious. What lengths will he go to in order to have Blair all to himself? Would he betray his best friend ... again?
Said friend is encouraged/guilted to reconcile with Blair to cement the Waldorf (i.e. Eleanor's account) good graces. Despite a promising phone call, he's still balking at giving her the family engagement ring and even avoids her birthday party, opting to take a walk with Jenny. Yeah, I know -- random and completely ill-advised. Chuck takes Nate's absence to make a wager with Blair, with another torrid night together on the line.
Meanwhile, little Jenny has brought home her totally hot, young mom Allison for some nice Humphrey awkwardness around the breakfast table. It looks like Rufus is going to give her a chance, which disappoints me because I want him to hook up with Serena's mom. I hope this isn't going to work. Dan is definitely dubious, but he has his own problems. He has his own awkward situation balancing his platonic friendship with Vanessa and his burgeoning romance with Serena. His solution? Get the girls together at Blair's 17th birthday party so they can become BFFs, and all will be right in the world. Dan, hate to break this to you, but the transitive property does not apply to friends. Nothing huge happens, but Dan is once again reminded that he has very little experience with women and vows to give Serena the proper attention. Oh, and they actually do get along ... for now.
As midnight rolls around and Nate doesn't show or call to wish Blair a happy birthday, she gets a special present from Gossip Girl herself: a cell phone photo of Nate hugging Jenny (whose face is obscured). So yeah, Blair cheated, but she does really tug at the heartstrings when her face falls and she admits that she and Nate are over. Chuck is of course there to comfort her, and she's more than willing to have her bruised ego stroked. Unfortunately, Serena spies them going at it.
Lovely highlights:
- Blair asking for punishment for trysting with Chuck: "[How about] putting that thing with the teeth around my thigh like Silas?"
- Blair: "You don't grant birthday wishes, do you?" Priest: "I'm a priest, not a genie."
- Gossip Girl: "Speak of the devil, and he doth appear wering his trademark scarf. Careful B, hell hath no fury like a Chuck Bass scorned."
- Chuck: "What's on your mind?"
Nate: "My mom."
Chuck: "Sounds Freudian."
- Blair pulling Chuck's hair and telling him to murder the butterflies in his stomach.
- Kati about the mystery girl in photo with Nate: "I hope the slut totally gave him Herpes."
- Blair eyeing the gift box Chuck gives her: "Is that our sex tape?"
