It’s strange that the first minute of the show makes me nervous. So much so I reflect back to high school. It’s SAT time. See scary! We see crazy rapid cuts of caffeine drinking, multiple choice bubbling, and housekeeper testing knowledge on fancy words practicing teens!
At school, Blair and Serena practice more. Blair types on an SAT help gadget and talks of kicking someone’s ass if they do better than her. Chuck enters to tell Serena, Georgina is no where to be found so she shouldn’t worry. I would think otherwise being that we know Michelle is coming.
Jenny and the little Beettes talk of being nervous. Jenny offers to relax their nerves. But, Blair comes in to tell the lackeys she has their night planned out and they love it.
Enter Georgina. I love her already. She has that spoiled brat tone in her voice. She forces Serena to get a drink with her. Jenny is in search of a boyfriend. She and a friend troll for boys on the street until they stumble into one. She’s not interested; he’s a dog walker. Nate comes to a coffee shop to give Dan SAT books. Vanessa doesn’t like it since she wanted to help him out. She sees the books and pulls out a paper.
At the bar, Georgina just wants to hang out like she did in the past with Serena. She promises they won’t get out of control. The Beettes come to Blair’s for their big study party. But before the fun can start, they plan to wipe out the girl who always does well.
Serena and Georgina are wasted. Blake Lively is awful at fake drunk. Serena picks up G’s phone and hears a dealer on the other line. She feels stupid for trusting Georgina.
The next day, Serena lies to Dan about being sick and he doesn’t believe her. Serena is lame. Bring back Georgina. Please? Jenny and friend see dog walker again. Jenny likes what she sees when she realizes he isn’t a dog walker. Vanessa asks Nate to come see her. She makes a confession that the paper from earlier was his practice essay and she read it. She says sorry for judging him.
Blair and team relax with massages and drinks. They invite smart girl’s boyfriend over for the two to talk. Nate and Vanessa are walking around the town talking about their families and whether college is the right thing. They get to her front door and kiss. Did I miss something? Were they flirty before this? This seems way out of character.
The waitress asks Serena and Georgina if they want a cocktail. How everyone at these bars don’t ID these kids is ridiculous. Bad, CW bad! Someone ask for their age!! Serena talks about Dan. It’s clear “Georgie Girl” has something up her sleeve. And she does…a second later, she spikes Serena’s drink. Why? So lost. Serena wakes up at Georgina’s confused as to what happened. She’s missed the SATs and is afraid the school has locked the doors. Down the road, Nate and Vanessa talk. He offers her a ride. Why aren’t they in school? In the next scene Jenny eats breakfast with her Dad. If Serena is this afraid about being locked out of school why are these teens just lounging around?
Guess not, as a surprise, Nate takes Vanessa to the SATs. I’m sorry but this is a bad surprise. Inside the testing site, Dan makes a call to Serena and overhears a girl. This girl lists her name as Serena to the people that sign students in.
Dan goes to Serena’s to see what’s going on. She doesn’t speak and pulls away. He gets frustrated and takes off. Serena goes to Georgina’s to tell her off. There is something both are hiding. I know what it is, and if you want to as well Perez Hilton spoiled it. Anyway, Georgina “runs” into Dan with her dog Georgie. Georgina introduces herself as Sarah…. Tisk tisk.
What did you all think? I think I love Michelle Trachtenberg for being evil. We always need more evil girlies in our shows. It makes life more fun… Yes? No?
