    Like OMG, it’s time for Blair’s annual sleepover! Blair is prepping for the big night with a smile upon her face. Ahhhh…life is good. In the meantime, Serena tries to pry information about her date with Dan from Jenny. Serena receives a call from her brother indicating he’s coming home. She says goodbye and hangs up as Blair runs up excited about her sleepover. Serena says she can’t go, as her date with Dan is unbreakable. Blair is hurt, but turns around to invite Jenny on the spot. This is every Freshman’s dream…Jenny accepts!

    Eric and Serena’s mother, Lilly, argue about him coming home. She’s not ready for him to be back. Dan arrives to pick up Serena who is running late. They talk, as she gets ready to go out. Lilly enters the hotel room unhappy to see Dan. With a grudge she lets Serena go. Jenny arrives to Blair’s party nervous about the upcoming events. With wide eyes she looks around, but Blair makes her feel welcome. This isn’t going to be just SOME sleepover, according to Blair, “the games are about to begin.”

    Dan and Serena arrive at a fancy restaurant. The awkwardness is so thick it could be cut with a knife! Serena leaves to use the restroom. Back at the party, Blair plays dress up on Jenny. She makes her put on a dress and drink a martini. But, when the real fun starts, it’s time for a little truth-or-dare! Dan and Serena finish dinner to some extra delicious tension. Serena ends up paying for their expensive dinner and Dan is uncomfortable. But, Serena asks him for a REAL date. They leave and go off for an actual teen date! Blair asks Jenny, “truth-or-dare” and with a “dare” Blair tells Jenny to break Eric out of his hospital room.

    At Eric’s hospital, Jenny arrives to get him out. As a diversion, Blair, stalls the nurse on duty pretending to be an addict. Is this what Lindsay Lohan went through? Sorry, sidetrack. Serena’s mother gets a call that Eric is gone. She expects Serena to be the culprit. At a bar, Dan and Serena play pool. They seem to be having a good time. At a club, Blair and company continue the games. Jenny dares Blair to “make-out” with a creepy older guy that hit on her minutes before. In turn Blair dares Jenny to call Creepy Older Man’s girlfriend. She does and seems to be un-officially making her way into Blair’s clique.

    As Serena loses at pool for the millionth time, Dan tries to teach her how to play. As they are about to kiss his phone rings. Dan’s father calls to tell him about Serena’s brother. Serena and Dan arrive at the club to find Blair and Jenny having a “rumble” with Creepy Older Man and C.O.M.’s girlfriend. Angry Girlfriend gets ticked off and a showdown begins. Dan knocks around C.O.M for messing with Jenny who admits to calling Angry Girlfriend.

    When the ruble ends, Serena is ticked off at Blair for what she did. Eric, although in trouble, is happy about getting to be free for once. Dan and Jenny talk. Dan is dismayed about how his sister is acting, but accepts it and lets her go.

    In the next round of truth-or-dare, Blair dares Jenny to steals a jacket from her mother’s boutique. As Blair counts down, the alarm system goes off trapping Jenny inside. Blair and her friends take off leaving her there. Soon enough, the cops arrive and Jenny bluffs her way out of her problem by pretending to be Blair. Farther uptown Serena and Dan talk about their siblings and how they are quickly changing. As they get closer and closer they kiss. Off-screen, millions of teen girls hate Serena, wishing they were her. Back on screen, Jenny arrives back at the hotel with the jacket. Blair is impressed and welcomes her to the club. And I cry with joy over the lack of Gossip Girl narration. All is right in upper-class rich kid New York!
