Rufus getting married
At the beginning of the episode:
Serena and Lily are on the outs but she is in love with Carter. Carter is working hard to collect money from outstanding debts.
Lily and Rufus are not getting along.
Dan is in love with Olivia but avoiding Georgina. Georgina goes psycho at the thought of him seeing someone else.
Vanessa is pining away for Scott and hating keeping his secret. When Georgina returns all hell breaks loose. She blackmails Vanessa but this backfires and she finally tells. He makes a lame attempt to trick Georgina and she is not fooled.
Bree and Nate are in love. Bree is hunting for Carter and will do anything to use her family's hatred for him to get back in good with his fam.
Lily and Rufus reconcile with a little help from the kids. They are all set to get married finally. They are going to do it at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens planned by Serena, Blair, Jenny and the new mean girls both Jenny's and Blair's. The wedding is going to be lovely and wonderful but Georgina brings back Scott and tries to ruin their wedding. They call it off and Bree Buckley captures Carter Basin. Carter, it turns out, is the fiance who ran out on Bree's cousin at the alter after using her money to pay off his debt.
In the end Rufus and Lily go to find Scott and get married. They have a happy little family reunion and a guest appearance from Sonic Youth (not looking too youthful these days I might add).
Enough about Eve
This episode is full of Deception.
Serena tries to win Carter Basin back from the Buckleys in a high stakes poker game. She got into the game through Nate who is really just using Serena to leak a fake photo of his cousin to the Buckleys. He is trying to make the Buckleys look bad and get Trip elected. Serena is none too pleased when she learns the truth and goes back to PJ Buckley(who is described as a JR Ewing and rocks a popped polo shirt collar) and settles the debt. Carter is saved by Serena but he wants to pay off the debt to earn her respect.
Blair is so sneaky. I love it. She works so hard to get to give some special toast at NYU. She even uses Chuck and makes him kiss an alum (he is trying to Kiss Chuck as some kind of scavenger hunt). She is vying for the toastmistress position against Olivia(The Duff) and Vanessa.
Vanessa is also willing to do just about anything to give the toast(to impress her judgemental parents- they have a militant stance against private education, knowledge should be free) including lying to Olivia and Dan and tricking Blair into telling everyone just what she thinks of them (and Chuck the truth of what happened). She also is exposed for the liar she is when Dan and Olivia realize they have been duped. She also says in front of her mom that she wishes for different parents. Her mom is not impressed and asks her to consider what she has become.
In the end Blair and Vanessa are disillusioned and slightly ruined. Is Blair going to have to become a good person? She has to go and grovel for forgiveness. Are Blair and Chuck over? Will Vanessa have to become a bad person. Her mom is definitely judging her. Or stranger still will Vanessa and Blair become friends. Weird.
XOXO
