Gossip Girl shows us that the best of intentions... well, sometimes aren't actually the best of intentions, as Serena is determined to throw Little J a Sweet-16 shindig whether she likes it or not. Plus, Vanessa and Chuck act out, Blair and Nate confuse us, Rufus and Lily continue to act like Rufus and Lily, and Dan gets a surprising fan letter.
It's Jenny's 16th birthday, and she wants a nice, low-key evening with family, friends, board games, Rufus' chili... what more could a girl want? Well, Serena (at the urging of socialite Poppy) decides J REALLY wants an Upper East Side-style sophisticated soiree, and she will give that the Jenny whether she likes it or not! Cue the mass of socialites, the photographer and caterers, and a whole bunch of the Best People -- who don't actually know Jenny at all. So J retaliates by posting a party invite on Gossip Girl, which leads to predictable apartment-trashing results.
Meanwhile, Chuck is convinced that Blair is back with Nate, and Blair seems to agree with him. Nate... he says they're just friends. But Vanessa doesn't buy that line, so she makes out with Chuck so they can discombobulate their exes. Discombobulation is achieved, and Blair flings herself at Nate -- who declines to catch her, saying this isn't the way he wants it to be. That, to us, sounds like he's saying he just wants to be friends. But at the end of the ep, he gets Dorota to bring Blair out to the duck pond so they can make out. Wait, what?
Finally, Rufus and Lily cook up a cockamamie scheme to pay for Dan's college (um, folks, you might want to consult with your kids before you make that sort of step) and Dan gets a fan who is closer to him than he thinks.
Find out what we thought about Serena's motives, hear a surprising confession from Mia, discover who would REALLY be paying Dan's tuition, and learn what we thought about Jenny's actions.
