Hey, have you seen the episode where Blair throws a really big party?

My favorite new piece of info gleaned from tonight’s episode: I probably missed this from earlier, but Nate’s dad is known as the Captain!

My obsession revealed: Okay, not only were the mini-Blairs addressed by their names (well, sort of), but due to them wearing matching sailor hats with the initials I and K, I know which one is which. Now can someone explain to me how the hell Isabel and Katie are pronounced, Eys and Kahti?

Note to Dan: Dude, ditch Vanessa now. I don’t care how close you are. I don’t care how comfortable you are sharing your family’s angst with her. Ditch her now! She’s in the way and you have an extremely hot girlfriend, who is not a psycho. Ditch Vanessa now!

Jenny writes apology note to Blair: Because. Well, frankly I have no idea why; she did nothing to Blair.

Chuck Bass piece of tripe of the night: Chuck (to Nate): I love only money, the pleasures that money brings, and you.

Apparently, Blair is one of the pleasures that money brings, which of course was further reinforced by the ending.

I almost felt sorry for Blair except … Nate’s family is falling apart, they’ve broken up, she slept with Chuck, and she still expects Nate to buy her a million dollar necklace. Blair only looks good when compared to ….

Her Mom: Who of course reacts to the Captain’s downfall in expected woe is me fashion.

Dan and Jenny’s Mom is hot! That was quite a mature chat mom and dad had. Thirty seconds of serious discussion about their lives followed by sex. Yes, another mature relationship.

It apparently never gets old: You know, the joke where the non-Catholic goes to confession anyway. “I’m a priest, not a genie!” indeed.

The Captain and Tennille: Guys, I understand pimping out your son, but the Waldorf account is gone and you shouldn’t be giving away your valuable stuff right now.

The Captain takes the stand: People, people, it was all a misunderstanding. Poor Nate, he’s trying to become a man and he has a worse role model than James Dean had in Rebel Without a Cause, who, if you don’t remember was both Mr. Magoo and Thurston Howell the III. See what I did there? Captain – Skipper – Little Buddy!

Where does Chuck live? Does he live in a hotel like Dylan on the first season of 90210, or is he so rich he has a hotel room where he hangs out, sort of like a rich kid rumpus room? I love Chuck because he’s so vile that every once in a while you start thinking he has some shred of human decency and then you catch yourself and feel all used. Props to Chuck for telling Blair that he had feelings for her and then five seconds later saying the sex wasn’t that good anyway.

Answer any real Rock Star would have given: Allison: My whole adult life has been about you. Rufus: I’m Rufus Humphrey, bitch!

Gossip Girl affects the plot: Amazing!

MIA: Eric, where are you? You had Jenny all wrapped up and now you go missing for two episodes and she's hugging a guy that makes you look six. Now that’s a reason to off yourself!
