Yes, it’s a party scene. Okay, it’s more like a burlesque scene. Chuck is happily watching the show. He’s there for research, naturally. He wants his Dad to invest in the club. Nate is taking the heat for the coke his mother found. But, remember the father likes the goods, not Nate. Oh, what a positive role model his father is setting. I nominate him for father of the year! His mother threatens to send Nate to rehab, but his Dad will do what he can to “help.” Who really needs the help here? Serena and Dan make out. Two of Blair’s minions record them on their pink phones. Nate catches up with Jenny walking down the girl’s hall of the school. He wants her to keep quiet about his declaration of love for Serena at the ball. Nate had mistaken Jenny for Serena in her mask.

His mother threatens to send Nate to rehab, but his Dad will do what he can to “help.” Who really needs the help here? Serena and Dan make out. Two of Blair’s minions record them on their pink phones. Nate catches up with Jenny walking down the girl’s hall of the school. He wants her to keep quiet about his declaration of love for Serena at the ball. Nate had mistaken Jenny for Serena in her mask.

    Chuck walks into his father’s office ready to make his proposal regarding the club. His father is pleased that Chuck is taking an interest in something other than, well, Chuck. Serena and Blair talk on the school steps about her possibly going “further” with Dan. Dan dreams he and Serena have already had sex. The minions stand beside them grading their “post-performance.” Chuck is at his new home, the club. His father walks in disappointed. It’s clear Chuck was genuinely invested in the idea. At a stuffy men’s club, Nate tracks his father. It’s not good, his father scores some more coke.

    Sheesh! Get a room. Serena and Dan kiss on his bed. Serena is an eager beaver, she is forceful about wanting to have sex. But, as they make out, Vanessa drops by. Everyone is embarrassed. But, just as they go back for more, Rufus comes home. Chuck is drunk. He stumbles around the sidewalk until Lily finds him. They talk about Chuck’s failures and the fact his father is a two-timing Lily. Lets get it out in the open, right now, Dan is watching porn. Vanessa walks in to talk. Dan admits he’s a virgin and scared. Vanessa gives him advice…spruce up the joint! No wants to go all the way on football sheets! Jenny and Blair have a deep conversation about the ball. Jenny admits that Nate kissed her. Blair is ticked. She “dismisses” Jenny for good.

    At a dinner with Blair’s family and Nate’s, the tension is fun! Blair is angry, but won’t say anything. Dan has more dreams! This time Dan is watching Nate and Serena kiss. He asks them for tips. It’s odd. Let’s move on. Back at the party, the families talk about the possibility of Blair and Nate getting married. Nate’s father is high and forces Blair to put on a family engagement ring. Aren’t these kids like 17? What is the CW teaching us? At the club, Chuck’s father comes back to talk. He ends up agreeing to take Chuck’s deal. On the street, Nate and his father argue about the drugs. Freaking out, Nate’s father gives his son a wonderful present, the gift of a left hook. Nate ends up bloody on the ground as the cops show up. Nate tells the cops to check his father’s pockets. Which doesn’t make sense. Turning his father over to the cops is silly at best. Getting him to rehab behind closed doors would work in everyone’s favor. That way the family wouldn’t be shamed or lose money. Right?

    Back at the party, Blair gets Nate to admit he doesn’t love her. She’s crushed and takes off. At Dan’s apartment, he shows Serena his newly designed “let’s have sex” room. Blair ends up at the burlesque club wanting to get away from everything. Chuck dares Blair to go up on stage and show him what she’s made of. She does! She starts stripping. Chuck is high impressed.

    Dan and Serena lie in bed. Serena admits she’s scared, but in a good way. At Nate’s house, his mother informs him that his father is being charged with embezzlement and fraud along with the coke. Back at Dan’s apartment, it’s clear they’ve had sex. In Chuck’s limo, she and Chuck make out and possibly more, we’ll find out next week…those CW guys sure are teases!
