Mr. Shawn certainly is evidence of that.
The incredibly talented Shawn also added a nice sheen of class toGG.
But the entire plotline served Blair best (I was expecting Cary Grant and I got Danny DeVito).
Leighton Meester is really developing a fine comic timing.
Her reaction shots are high-larious.
But poor Dorota my favorite character was treated like crap.
Still, I have to appreciate all of the airtime given to her.
But lets get to the main event: Blairs birthday outfit.
That might be one of my favoriteGGensembles of all time.
Completely inappropriate for any other 18-year-olds birthday party, but we dont watchGGfor reality.
And how cool was it that Cyrus got Cyndi Lauper to show up at Blairs b-day.
I totally forgot aboutVibes!
I definitely watched it at least 50 times on HBO as a child.
And yet I couldnt really tell what the plot was.
Anyways, thanks to whicheverGGwriter penned that line.
It unlocked a forgotten film memory.
And why is she just taking Blairs word for it?
Um hello, your daughter likes to manipulate!
But everything ended up happily with Blair and Cyrus making up.
(I wanted a Harry Winston choker for my birthday.
Instead I got a conscience.)
It was a little shocking that Eleanor and Cyrus decided to move in together!
Is Eleanor secretly Britney Spears?
She seems to have modeled her rapid dating life after the pop star.
I wouldnt be surprised if next week they had elope in Vegas.
Im still not sure how to feel about Cyrus being Aarons father.
NEXT: Serena needs a self-esteem boost
Jenny is living with Agnes?!
How does she have no friends other than this random model?
Also, I thought Agnes was at least like 20 years old?
And shes still living at home with her mom?
Clearly her modeling career isnt as successful as we thought.
And can we talk about the Vitamin Water placement?!
Also, what is with Agnes love of retro hats?
The first time it was that god awful bowler hat.
This time, it was a 70s-style floppy number.
Its like she shops at a community theater costume department.
For the entire episode, Jenny was completely annoying.
And how about her trying to blackmail her father into signing those consent forms?
How the hell did she get in there?
Is she picking locks now?
Its like Jenny transformed into aLes Miserablesstreet urchin overnight.
I do love that Rufus is now wearing Western/safari shirts, in lieu of simply Western gear.
And I like seeing him try out some new Lincoln Hawk material.
But allowing Jenny to move in with Agnes and her mother?
I dont believe this.
Also, where the hell is Mama Humphrey during this crisis?
I know she called Rufus, but cant she afford a train ticket down from Hudson?
Is it me or can you practically smell Aaron through your television?
He looks so stinky.
And seeing him on the Jumbotron in Times Square did not help.
It only emphasized his patchy beard and clearly self-cut hair.
Also, Serena, there is nothing romantic about a trip to Times Square.
That is, unless you find fanny packs and homeless-person urine an aphrodisiac.
And the dude is clearly playing you.
Hes hooking up with skanky models and dating you at the same time.
I dont care how chill or cool he comes off.
Once again, dear Serena:You.
A. Catch.Youre rich and beautiful.
You have insanely fab hair.
And you wear inappropriately low-cut outfits (hi, Yale!).
Shop around, lady.
Theres no need to settle for this tall glass of dirty dishwater.
This darker, more devious Dan is a definite improvement.
Im not sure I really believe thatNew Yorkmagazine would assign an expose to a high school senior.
And why wouldnt Chuck tell his father about his hatred of Dan Humphrey?
I know Bart hates his only son but it still seems like some info worth sharing.
It brought about a bonding of sorts between the two Bass gentlemen.
SPOILER ALERT: I think Bart is theGGcharacterwho is going to die.
What did you think of last nightsGossip Girl?
Are Eleanor and Cyrus meant to be?
Will Jenny ever go home?
