XOXO!

It's back to school time after the holidays for the Gossip Girl kids! That means a few things. 1) Drama with Little J 2) Inevitable Chuck and Blair-ish behavior 3) Simmering adult tension between Rufus and Lily 4) Boring but sweet love rollercoaster with Serena and Dan

Yep! So let's see how does eventual things came to pass, shall we?

Jenny is back to being a student. This time around she wants to be a student with a conscience, so she befriends Nelly and tries to defend her against the Evil Step Girls. So, I know Mean Girls was like a really popular movie and that I ain't from the Upper East Side of anything...but do high school girls really act like that? "Clean the crap of my shoe you popular-person-wannabe," really? Eh. Don't really get that.

Which makes me think of Blair, who wants to be a member of the adult version of her clan, the Colony Club. Luckily, she comes to her senses and starts focusing on more pressing problems, aka, what to do with Chuck. Chuck is all Chrisitian-Bale-as-Batman-voiced and suffering something terrible, while abusing drugs and women (employees). And now he has a hot uncle taking care of him...who in the closing scene...has Blair tell him that "Chuck cannot know what happened on New Years." What does THAT mean B?? Has she hooked 2 Basses?

Lily and Rufus have a love child. She gave him up adoption. He didn't know, is pissed, and wants to find him. So where does that leave the newly reformed couple of Serena and Dan? Can they deal with sharing a sibling?

Most Gossip Girl post-worthy moments of the night: all Dorota moments, a dejected Blair crying for 0.5 seconds before realizing who she is and what she does and composing herself, and the silly (sexy?) little secret in the closing scene that will be slipped sometime soon.
