Blair continues to struggle with finding her niche at NYU. She looks for the Masters of the Universe Society. She finds them; nerds that love Skeletor, Heman, and Shera. Unfortunately these were not the Wallstreet types she had hoped to find. She is longing for the days of Constance and gets a little desperate. She is all to willing to go back to Constance and have 15 year old girls worship her again. In the end Chuck and Jenny work hard to snap her out of this. Chuck uses a little "do you know who I am logic" on her. How could she not know how amazing she is when she scored a prize like the love of Chuck? Chuck also had a photographer take a picture of her and say "aren't you Blair Waldorf? Blair gathers all of those like her, ladies from private schools who are at NYU and did not go Ivy, to try to rule the school.
Dan meets a new lady friend. Hillary Duff is the star of movies akin to the Twilight Series. Dan, of course, has never heard of them. Nate tries to explain them; it's King Arthur with Vampires and she plays a hot Guinevere. (When will this happen in real life. I am already a fan.) When Dan stumbles upon her he is completely clueless. She loves this and relishes being a regular NYU student dating a boy. Dan loves what a regular girl she is and tells her he loves how much less complicated it is than when he dated his ex. She is Vanessa's new roommate and she has to work one night (read go to a premier of a new movie). This is where Dan will figure out who she really is. Will they be able to make it work? Will Duff continue to be on Gossip Girl? I predict two more episodes...maximum. Otherwise I might not be able to stand it.
This episode also marks the return of Lily. Rufus and Serena have been practicing the moment when Serena will tell Lily she is no longer going to attend Brown. She is less than thrilled. Serena tries to get a job in fashion to show that she can be productive and responsible. Unfortunately no one will will hire her. In steps a PR woman who manages Duff and a horribly tempermental diva, Tyra. Tyra is looking very skinny these days which is accentuated by her giant head and hair. She plays an insecure actress (insert your own joke here...too easy). The PR lady is trying to use Serena and puts her in an awkward position. Serena does the right thing and gets fired. In the end Tyra turns out to be pretty nice and lobbies for Serena to get her job back. Will this be what she does this entire season? (I want to get back to the Carter plot which was disappointingly absent from this episode. I am still intrigued.)
Also back this episode Jenny and Eric. Jenny is excited to live out her days at Constance free of suppression. In the beginning she has moving little speech allowing her subjects to live free from headbands and hierarchy. Unfortunately they don't want to be free and call in Blair to restore order. Jenny eventually has to take back the throne so that no one else will. Chuck also helps her to see that this is what she was meant to do. (Chuck was so full of logic in this episode and reference Dumbo.)
This episode ends with Vanessa calling Scott to say how much she misses him. Unfortunately he is due to meet up with Georgina.
Next episode; Rufus and Lily are going to get married, Georgina is after Dan and will be exposing the truth of Scott's secret or at least threatening to. I do not like Georgina. There are starting to be too many extra people for me to keep track of.
