Gossip Girl 3x19

So, the big shocker on Gossip Girl last time was that Serena caught her mother, Lily, in a Palm Beach hotel room with her long-lost father William van der Woodsen (Billy Baldwin). In Serena’s absence, of course sly little Jenny is scheming to get with Nate. (Remember, this is the boy tramp who has been with all the girls – Blair, Vanessa, Serena, you name it!) Now that Blair and Chuck broke up, they can go back to their old lives! She’s inviting about a dozen eligible bachelors for a luncheon, a rebound reception, and he’s, well, having a busy few days, getting wasted and bringing cheap girls home. But the bachelors never show up, and Chuck knows he’s merely filling up the emptiness left by Blair. Rufus sure isn’t ready for meeting his wife’s ex, but Lily confesses she has been ill and only her ex could give her the medical treatment she needs... The kind of warped logic only an Upper East Sider can follow: even Rufus is confused, since they live in the epicenter of medical expertise... Dan and Vanessa both applied for NYU’s highly selective Tisch School of Arts, but only she got in... Then there’s some Bushwick art party, oh, Bushwisk, where everything comes to a head. Seems like all our couples are on ice again. And of course, we all knew there’s something odd when Lily’s illness relapses: William’s been messing with her prescription. Ah, the scandalous lives of the Manhattan elite. I’ll admit, it’s getting a tad tedious, even for me.
