It appears little Miss Diva-In-Training Jenny has moved in with Agnes’ family. Rufus doesn’t seem phased by this whatsoever. Dan heads out of the apartment to meet his Professor who wants to write him a review for Yale. Back in rich land, Blair is planning her 18th birthday with her crew. She lets us know that her mother has a new boyfriend. Mom boyfriends! Score! Serena half listens to the group as she runs off to meet Aaron.
ReplyDeleteOn the other side of the world, Jenny and Agnes take J’s clothes to some bigwig, but it’s not going well. They can’t get their stories right. What’s the label called? Who’s in charge? They know nothing…exactly I know what your thinking because their 15-year-old girls.
Blair waits for mommy’s boyfriend as a lunch is being prepared. Enter Cyrus Rose. He’s not the suave kind of boyfriend you would have thought. He’s short and bald and old. He’s that teacher on Clueless if you’re my age. Chuck tries to hang out with his Dad by offering his hockey tickets. But, Dad Bass being the winner that he is rejects Chuck. Dan meets his Professor and his friend. Friend Professor likes Dan so much he wants Dan to go undercover to snoop on Dad Bass…see the 25th anniversary of Bass Enterprises is upon us and Friend Professor really wants a good ole expose.
Serena gets herself upon the Times Square electronic billboard thanks to Aaron. Odd, but not as odd as Aaron wanting S to pose for him. They then make-out on the big billboard for everyone to see. Blair goes off about Tiny Mommy Boyfriend to Serena. She doesn’t really care because she has to go pose. Dan goes to Dad Bass to “fake interview” him. He asks to shadow Bass a few days a week. Bad move Bass, bad move. Chuck barges his way into the office to overhear Dad Bass asking Dan to that hockey game. Stupid Dad, Dan’s are for kids. Don’t shutout Chuck.
Jenny backstabs Agnes and goes to see the business manager they saw earlier. She tells him they have severed ties. Business Manager agrees to work with her alone. Serena meets Aaron to pose. That surely took a long time to get to his apartment. She sits on a chair and he snaps away.
The next morning, we see that Aaron has created a Serena wall. Videos of her play very largely behind them. This is art? I am so far behind on what’s hip. A model enters and asks Aaron where she should stand for her snap time. Apparently, Serena is just one model in a series Aaron is creating. She figures out she’s not special and leaves. Took you long enough.
Dan meets with a Sketchy Man to talk about Dad Bass. Sketchy Man tells Dan that in the 80s Dad Bass couldn’t raise the funds to complete a building he bought so he had it burned down. Oops. Looks like Dad Bass is in trouble and Dan may have a new story. Blair and Cyrus have a little lunch. She tries to get dirt on him. But, he gives her a story about a lost love he met in Vietnam.
Agnes gets wind that J has played her. Watch out J, looking at Agnes even I would be scared to mess with her. Blair wants to hear about the pity that is Serena’s life. As they talk it looks like Cyrus has a little something is store for Blair…it’s her very own Cyndi Lauper life-size doll. No just kidding, Cyndi must be hawking some CD to make it onto this show. But, regardless the 80s Super Music Queen has helped Blair to see a new side of Cyrus. She ends up giving Cyrus mad props to her mother.
Elsewhere, Agnes really likes fire. I mean REALLY likes them. She gathers her ex-friends pretty clothes and bonfires them into oblivion. She then kicks J to the curb! Score one for Aggie! Blair and Cyrus have a moment. Cyrus’ real motive to bring Cyndi to the party was to make Blair feel guilty about bad mouthing him to her mother. It worked. Blair is actually impressed by this guy.
Serena spots Aaron and the model having dinner. He lets her know that he didn’t think they were exclusive. What a clichéd line. Rufus won’t sign Jenny’s business papers, but then J gets 10 times more stupid and decides that becoming emancipated is the way to go. Okay:
A) She has no money and doesn’t have a place to live….
B) 15-year-olds can’t do anything like this….
C) Just no…
As we wrap up, Dan sends his story to Dad Bass to ask him to think about Chuck more. Dad Bass tells Chuck that he doesn’t hold him responsible for his mother’s death. Chuck just looks so much like her it scares Dad. We also learn that Cyrus is moving in and Serena gives Aaron a second or does this make it a 5th or 6th chance? Serena move on.
