I'm hoping Chuck (since he listened in on Blair and Serena in the elevator) tells Nate what's going on and maybe Nate can somehow avert a major political scandal (as well as one of his oldest friends making one of the biggest mistakes of her life.) I don't see Dan as tragically lost as Serena but I agree that he seems kind of reckless like alot of young college guys. He's exploring and experimenting and making mistakes. BIG mistakes like sleeping with a crazy stalker (although he made it out of that pretty unscathed) and having a 3some with your BFF and movie star girlfriend (I'm not sure how well THAT will turn out.) I think Dan will be OK in the end but I think Serena's going to have a tough time for a while.

Oh I agree. You can't compare the two. Dan is suffering from a broken heart while Serena is suffering from over a decade of childhood loss and identity crisis. Its difficult to compare the two things. I just see his recklessness as a symptom of his heartbreak and it all started way back in 216. But, its definately arguable. I just hope they both come out of this cause I just feel interminably bad for them.

I don't get the threesome thingy...this is beyond logic...but I understand now Duff has a reason to finish her role in GG~|o|~

Eric...poor you get involved into the bitch business. I'm scared the writer is going to kill the only angel in GG~big sigh~

Jenny is stupid for changing face like that, but because of that Blair looks less terrible this time.

Chuck you are such a pervert but I love you. I don't get the last weekend thing at all. CN need to create something more tasteful. Come on, it's S3 already.

Blake did a good job in the elevator, better than Leighton I have to say. I know Serena's gonna mess up with Tripp. Actually I'm looking forward to it. They have a good tension between them. Forbidden love always makes good drama.

I want last week's Nate back!! This week he's that old boring Nate again...EW

I'm happy Johnathan is done. Don't come back because you never ever deserve Eric.

Okay, i'm going to be not the favor, but Tripp could divorce that hideous wife of his (I swore they were engaged) but anyways, bye bye her and than Serena and Tripp can be like the next political couple hah (just my imagination) anyways, I just find him more attractive than Nate, and ya, hehehe.

[Kiss of Death]

Trip/Maureen were engaged in 2x19. They marry at/after 2x21.

Next political couple.... um..right.

When Nate's senator in 10 years and SN are married, maybe, but S and political couple just sounds awkward.

I actually really love where Serena's storyline is going, I finally fully get why she always felt/seemed so lost and I can really understand what she's going through and the way she's reacting to it. Blake's performance in the elevator was fabulous

[Karma Police]

Jenny is all grown-up now!!

How exactly is she grown up? I felt like the character regressed. I was annoyed by her actions in season 2 but then she supposedly learned something but it appears not to be true.

Eric is a looser without Jenny!

I wouldn't say he is a looser without her (imo Jenny's current behaviour and chase-for-fame is making her a looser but that's just me). She treated him badly in the past, so I'm glad he isn't friends with her anymore. I just wish he wouldn't step down to her level and just let it go.

Thinking about what Serena remembers about her dad and what Lily did to her and Eric makes me want to hit Lily with a clue by four. Serena remembers daddy leaving and coming back until one time he just didn't come back. Then Lily does almost the same exact thing to Serena and Eric. She leaves them with hardly any notice and comes back at her whim. I would imagine that every time Serena had to go Blair or Nate's house, she wondered if this would be the time Lily just wouldn't come back.

I know the threesome wasn't racy, but I enjoyed how in character everybody's reactions were. They were tentative and somewhat awkward, but not in a bad way more in an endearing way. Olivia ran that threesome. She put the moves on Dan, then Vanessa and finally gave the nod of approval to the Dan/Vanessa kiss.

[ale-la-pazza1]

Lame episode.
Jenny was an annoying selfish bitch,Eric is a failed schemer,Blair is a freaking child,Serena is on a verge of having an affair,Nate popping in and out randomly,Chuck is a strange mediator,and Dan/Olivia/Vanessa is most horrid threesome ever. What a waste of time.

IA. I really never see or get Jenny's motivations most of the time which makes me unsimpathetic to the character most of the time. And Eric- I love Eric. He definitely doesn't need Jenny's bi-polar relationship.

Loved the episode overall, though

I don’t think that Jenny has grown up at all. She’s gone from someone who learned the downside of popularity to someone who’s obsessed with it, and she’s treated the one person who’s always been there for her horribly. She’s ditched her true friend for minions who’ll stab her in the back in a heartbeat, and in the end, being Queen of Constance will gain her nothing, just as it ultimately gained nothing for Blair.

I also don’t have the sympathy and understanding for Jenny’s motivations for being Queen Bee like I did with Blair, so while I loved Blair no matter what she did, I can’t feel the same way for Jenny.

jftr....I love Eric! I'm glad to be rid of Jonathan.

Yes! I completely agree. I can't understand how anyone could do that to their children... Lily really isn't a good mother. I feel bad for Serena - after all she doesn't really have a father so she needs her mom even more.

Exactly, Jerry. I've always understood Blair and where she's coming from pretty much from day 1, Jenny, on the other hand makes very little sense to me. These last few episodes I've failed to understand her "struggles". She doesn't really have any and I was so Team Eric this past episode it's not even funny.
