3x06
Wow. Can like, every episode be like this?
TA DA! We begin with BLAIR’S DREAM! I miss those. BTW, she’s soo pretty. I don’t know why people complain about the outfits this season. I love them. The black and white style dream and I love the lipstick. Yes, I just said b&w dream and still commenting on the lipstick. I like it.
B awakes at the Palace.
Apparently she was dreaming All About Eve this time. Which is not an A. Hepburn movie. It was….
“I was Bette Davis.” ROTFLMAO! (I love that song.)
And B needs to be Audrey. Oh, I miss the Audrey obsession. Glad it’s back.
GUYS! DO YOU KNOW MUCH SN WE GOT TONIGHT?!
So, Tripp’s running for the House. How old do you have to be? (I’m looking this up. I wanna know how old Tripp is.)
S finds him..I don’t know how, and I don’t care. She does. And apparently falls into Nate’s trap. (OMG, see, he learned something from the best friend and ex.) So, Nate has an idea to help get Carter out. Win him in gambling. Oh, throw back 1x04 anyone? I love this. Can we get another Nate/Carter scene? Was the Cotillion punch the last? (I want some Chuck/Carter/Nate flashbacks of when Carter was a senior and the boys were in the eighth grade.)
Okay, I’m moving on before I go crazy over the boys. I could talk for hours….
*cough*
Let’s get to Vanessa and Rufus, okay?
I mean, Vanessa and the Humphreys. But Dan and Jenny leave and let V/R talk and I know the LJ girls must have been happy. *cough* What? Leave me be. I can only stand him when he’s with Vanessa. Take it.
Another SN scene. Who’s making a list of Lily’s guys since Keith? Because we know this Carlos guy when S was 9. Now I feel like rewatching this show and making a list.
S calls Nate on his poker skills. I’m glad Nate’s learned. (Okay, I might want to rewatch 1x04 for the boys.) So, Nate says S is playing. I am very proud of him.
Oh, overload Blair/Vanessa. My girls!! *SQUEAL* I like it. *giggles*
Okay, so I’m warming up to Olivia more after actually paying attention to her. But, what the hell is that watch? Dan, you’re a loser. Can’t you like..judge her on the watch? I miss the judging. And I don’t say that…ever. *sighs*
This, whatever his job is, guy has like three girls he’s saying yes to. At least he knows how to get what he wants from B. *cries*
B’s talking to Josh and badmouthing Vanessa. Ah, true love, girls! Tell us how you REALLY feel.
Josh says his number one has agreed and it’s….ew gag me – Olivia. I feel like I’m listening to the Yale Dean about OMG! It’s Serena van der Woodsen! *eye roll* (Gabriela has good reasons to not like private schools.) And he tells B even if Olivia wasn’t doing it, it’d be Vanessa.
B leaves and oh look! It’s Vanessa! B mentions that Olivia is giving the speech. And Vanessa it taken a page from B’s book. (N and V are both learning! YAY! Except V’s totally not good with the stories, but she’s amazing later. I’m not there yet.)
Uh oh! V realizes she’s the one to tell Dan to bring Olivia. Oops.
ANOTHER SN scene! And it’s the promo bit and S sits at the table.
Dan and Vanessa have a scene. And thus, my three couples have all had scenes together and um..it goes oh so well for everyone.. Anyway, Vanessa lies and tries to get Dan to not go with Olivia and mentions Dan cooking “special chicken.” BUT VANESSA! HUMPHREYS CAN ONLY MAKE WAFFLES! She’ll give him a recipe. (And thus, because it is not a waffle, it burns later on.)
ANOTHER SN! They play for Carter now. But that’s not enough. He’s worth more than what’s on the table. So Nate says he has a picture from Tripp’s bachelor party. DUN DUN DUN. Let’s play … poker.
Vanessa and Olivia talk and you KNOW this is gonna bite her in the ass.
She takes the call outside and the blonde (who is named Sophie later on) hears. And V tells Sophie she can tell B the good news.
And because this is so part of Blair’s plan, she does. And it’s time for Step 2. It’s very brilliant. But I might cry myself to sleep tonight.
So, SN! All in. OOPSIES! S loses. Poor kids.
So, V’s parents’ names are Gabriela and Arlo. Sweet. (And she has a sis named Ruby.) Finally get some info on her family. Yay S3!
Tis a bit awkward because well, Lily and Gabriela? Um…are opposites. *giggles* Cool.
And in comes the BC promo bit. But it’s much clearer here since Chuck knows it’s a guy since the promo makes it seem like it’s a trans..whatever. I love Chuck. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it this review yet. So I shall. I love him. And I’ll cry with them later on, but I’m not there yet. BTW, love how confident he is.
(Not liking the hair cut though.)
SN! OOPS. Natie… But I love the plan. WHERE IS GRANDFATHER AND TRIPP THOUGH?! I want to see them. I like Tripp. So, S overhears and we see the real picture that was photoshoped and given to PJ so when he realizes it, they have the real and say YOU LIE. And Tripp wins. This is smart. I like it. It works. You know Grandfather came up with it. But I credit it all to Natie because I want to and he deserves it and can he have this kind of main role always and INTERACT WITH UES more often? (Can CN have a scene and smoke up after what all happens this ep? I miss them.)
So, weren’t back to Vanessa at the van der Woodsen apartment. Gabriela’s ranting. Olivia calls and V takes it and this is not good because you KNOW she’s gonna get caught up in the lie now that it’s tense with O/D and SEE! IT IS NOT WAFFLES. IT BURNS. (Burn the loft!) *cough*
TA DA! Oh, this was gold. The kiss and B’s storm and the convo/yell between her and Josh was *jaw drop* didn’t see that coming. But Josh knows how to run around them all. Granted, with B all crazy I don’t blame him for using her. I want to kiss Chuck Bass, too! *is jealous*
And we get B/C. And OMG, hehe. I mean, we kinda knew this, no?
“Do you really think I haven’t kissed a guy before?” hehe *giggles* Chuck doesn’t care.
I love him.
B says she’ll call Vanessa and tell her and she calls and lets it ring once and no answer and oh well. I love her.
And Olivia wants to meet the parents. And I’m confused who’s gonna speak when I watched. Crazy.
Blair/Vanessa! “I won. Like always.” I love Blair. But Vanessa, she listened in class (your class, B) and she’s not going down. (or, at least not to Blair…)
Awkward meeting with the parents. *yawn* I don’t care.
Amalia runs into Chuck and mentions that B got the toast and uh oh. She wasn’t supposed to talk. No wonder B demoted her.
SN!!! And Nate explains and S is not happy to be used. Why is it I roll my eyes when either Serena or Nate is used because have they met their besties? They’re always used in some ways. I do love that Nate was able to get one over S. I give the round to Nate. I like him better.
Oh, back to O/D and LR. I’m only left wondering, Olivia, I know you’re a movie ‘star’ and all, but do you not know who Lily is? So this is just retarded.
B/V. And Vanessa’s taping B. Eck. And oh ****, she mentions Chuck. This is not good. I shall cry with them later.
I give major props to Vanessa. I love it.
Oh, but no worries. Vanessa is busted, too! It’s a domino effect! *giggles*
And she tries to explain herself and Gabriela hears the bit about parents and I think B/V need a bonding session. OH! WAIT! I’m not there yet.
Guys. Is this the closest LC I’ll ever get? Lily and Blair talking and somehow Lily giving B advice? Like she knows anything? Right. Apparently this is my closest LC scene since Lily’s like supposed to be his mother and thinking she knows best and I’m not satisfied. If anything, I’m more annoyed because I WANT MY LC!
BLAIR’S BEDROOM! And 2x08 flashback but it’s B in S’s room. I don’t like SCa in B’s room. It’s awkward…I’m sure BCa have had sex there. Hmmm
Luckily that doesn’t work and Carter doesn’t want S to feel sorry for him and he wants to work it out by himself because he’s a real man and yeah. I love Carter, but not so hot on SCa. (Or my SN is just growing.)
V/Gabriela convo. Poor V. We need someone else with parent issues since C/B/N have had their issues settled-ish in S2. (Death, Eleanor is awesome – or it’s just Cyrus is a good influence, prison… so we need someone else to add in the issues…)
Olivia gets the speech.
BV are standing together.
“Why did we do all this?”
“You tell me.”
For my enjoyment?
OH LOOK! THE EPISODE IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT WAFFLES.
And she called them Mr. and Mrs. … I can’t type it.
Chuck’s still at the Palace! And ta da. I knew they’d do the break up/make up route every so often. Round One. And I shall cry later. While Chuck cries in the Palace and B’s in her dorm. (Maybe BV had a sleepover? That’d be nice..)
Vanessa’s at the coffee shop. With two croissants. Waiting for mommy, but she’s already going back to Vermont without telling her first. Because see, these parent issues are not just UES things!
S goes to the van der Woodsen apartment for breakfast and Eric is with…Cece as usual. Or I kidnapped him. Either works for me.
OR! Maybe, when Chuck lied and said he had a meeting. It wasn’t a real lie. He was meeting with Eric! I LIKE THIS PLAN. I SHALL PRETEND!
LOOK!!!! B/V! *SQUEAL* B sits down at the table and Vanessa offers her the croissant.
I LOVE THESE GIRLS!
“Thanks.”
And they’ll hate each other after my made-up sleepover as they should, BUT
*SQUEAL*
