Jenny or should we call her Jenny “I’ll Strip For Free” Humphrey? Jenny has practically bought all the clothing materials and thread in New York. She works on dresses as Agnes straightens up and tells her how great leaving Eleanor’s pad was. They explain their way out the last episode and Jenny’s making out session with Nate. Still NO on NANNY, by the way!

Jenny or should we call her Jenny “I’ll Strip For Free” Humphrey? Jenny has practically bought all the clothing materials and thread in New York. She works on dresses as Agnes straightens up and tells her how great leaving Eleanor’s pad was. They explain their way out the last episode and Jenny’s making out session with Nate. Still NO on NANNY, by the way!
Nate and Dan do a walk and talk giving us a whole lot of exposition. Dan gave his story to a TA from a few episodes back; Nate tries to make him feel better. Back in the city, Serena is talking up Blair to a female Yale donor. Yale donor is not playing this game and only wants to talk to Serena. Blair is confused as to why she’s even there. As donor lady leaves, she mentions her daughter Emma. Serena suggests that instead of leaving Emma alone for the night, Blair would happily take her to a movie. Wanting an IN at Yale, Blair says yes. Oh you know how much torture this girl is going to be.
As Serena exits the hotel, Aaron runs up to her. You remember Aaron. Artist. Kind of unattractive. A girl like Serena would never be caught with a guy like him in real life. You know that guy. Serena has almost forgiven him for speeding off with some girl on his motorcycle, when a girl runs up to him and kisses him. Oops. Serena takes off.
Emma is getting ready while Blair waits. Blair assumes this girl is a proper young thing and suggests some movie with animals. But, like I said it was obvious this girl was going to be trouble. She walks up to Blair in some tight dress. Let’s just say Ms. Waldorf is a bit worried as to the day these two will have.
Dan and Nate have busted Jenny and her tiny hat. She tells her brother the truth and begs him to let her have a few hours where she can hold her own “guerrilla” fashion show. He agrees. Blair begs Serena for advice on what to do with Emma. Serena suggests taking her to the charity gala that’s happening that night.
Back in Brooklyn, Dan gets advice from Vanessa. We then learn V is still in love with Nate. At the hotel, Chuck goes to find Serena when he runs into Emma. They hit it off and she wants to be taken for a ride…if you get my drift. Serena and Blair find out and freak.
Jenny and Nate bicker about last week. Jenny tells Nate if he cares about her, he’ll come to this fashion show with her. He reluctantly says yes.
Chuck and Little Miss Wants to Hook Up Emma sit in the limo. Chuck really doesn’t want to ruin the moment by having her talk.
Back at the hotel, Chuck returns to let them know that Emma took off once she realized Mr. Bass wouldn’t “deflower” her. They get a text and find out she’s downtown at some bar ready to move on to the next guy.
Jenny has taken her fashion show to a big fancy rich person party because that’s where the big money is. At the bar, they look for the girl. But, because it’s crowded they lose her again.
Back at land o’ rich, Jenny is having second thoughts about having her impromptu fashion show. Nate decides to back on her whatever she decides. They kiss again and are obviously snapped for Gossip Girl. Um. Pass.
Then at the bar (boy is this show surely going back and forth today!), Chuck has spotted Emma’s mother making out with some random guy. Blair takes a picture.
Yes, because A) this is plausible out of all the bars in NYC, mother and daughter are at the same one and B) Blackmailing would truly be the moral way for Blair to get into Yale.
Dan opens up his laptop to Gossip Girl to find that Jenny and Nate are at the Palace where this party is. At the gala, they spread out to find Jenny. At the bar, Blair thanks the heavens she found the mother. But, Serena begs Blair to be good and find Emma first before anything happens. Blair says she will. Serena goes to the gala.
At the gala, Dan finds Nate and let’s just say things don’t go over well. It’s ends with Dan telling Nate to pack up and leave the house.
At the apartment of the guy Emma wants to “deflower” her, Blair and Chuck try to get her to come out. Chuck is simply impressed by her determination. They tell her to open up Gossip Girl. She screams when she finds out her enemy lost her virginity first. She decides sleeping with this random guy isn’t worth it. All three of them leave.
In a cab, on her way to the gala, Serena calls Aaron wanting to give him another chance when a girl answers. Serena get the point. Aaron likes the ladies.
Gala. Jenny finds out from Nate that her family has arrived. She decides to go forth with this inappropriate fashion show anyway. The lights lower and a video of Jenny comes up. J I hope you go down for this. Me, who doesn’t usually care for characters all that strongly is really uncomfortable with this. The models come out and dance really awkwardly on the tables. Though, everyone looks to be enjoying this. I just find it odd.
Jenny kisses Nate again. This time former GF Vanessa sees them and storms off.
Out of the bar (finally!), Blair takes Emma back to the hotel, to tell her, her first time really needs to be with someone she loves. Sex isn’t a competition.
Dan learns he won’t get into Yale because none of the professors the TA gave his story to liked what he had to say. And yes this is another heartfelt moment shared with Serena.
Emma comes to Blair’s defense after they are caught coming in late. Rufus finally catches Jenny and almost has her arrested for her actions, but Lily says no.
The next morning the Dean calls Blair, as Serena is called out to the living room to meet Aaron. He apologizes and wants a third chance. Blair runs out of the room to tell Serena Emma really stood up for her with the Dean and she is now someone Yale wants to have.
In Brooklyn, Dan wants to be more out there and decides to go forth with his Chuck Bass story. In an ending montage, Rufus sees Jenny’s cleared out room; Serena and Blair look at the Yale catalogue. Nate drops a Dear John letter to Jenny in the mail as he heads off to stay with his mom. Dan drops his story in the mail, and Jenny has left her house with bags in hand.
