Gossip Girl - Season 4 Episode 3 - 'The Undergraduates'

Okay here we go... !

(I'm not going to reread this because I just know that it is going to be a bit lengthy... so excuse any errors or mistakes, please!)

It was the first day of school (at Columbia) for Blair and Serena.  They are trying to be a part of the Hamilton House... which seems to be some sort of high class sorority/club.  What a coincidence is it that Juliet (Nate's new GF... who told someone over the phone that she misses them in an earlier episode) is the person who hands out the key... the "Key Master", I guess.  Juliet pretends not to remember who Serena is, but of course she does!  She claims that there is only one key left... and it was for Blair.  Of course Blair is going to take it because its her key that will let her climb higher on the socialite ladder.  Serena doesn't need that club to feel like a socialite anyway.... she's a natural!  Unfortunately though, everyone seemed too busy for Serena.  Blair has the Hamilton House, Dan has Mylo, and Nate is too busy with Juliet and claims that he's a part of the Hamilton House (though I thought it was a similar to a sorority... an all girls' type of club... confusing).  Of course, Blair is going to soak it up if it helps her social life.  She even ditched Serena for dinner... and Juliet manipulated Blair multiple times.  Crazy how Juliet had the power to manipulate Blair of all people... the QUEEN of Manipulation if you ask me.  Of course, Gossip Girl got a clip of Blair toasting with the Hamilton House girls just after she canceled on Serena and lied of her whereabouts.  Blair then starts to believe that Serena is jealous of her entrance into the social group.  Later on, Serena sees another girl leave the Hamilton House with a key... even after Juliet told her that the "last" key is Blair's.  Tsk tsk tsk... lies!

Serena confronts Juliet about the last key lie and Juliet convinced Serena that Blair was the person who didn't want Serena to be part of the Hamilton House. She said that Blair told the committee information about Serena that made them decide not to qualify her for the Hamilton House, including about a sex tape with Pete Thurman. On the night of Fashion Night Out, Serena and Blair plotted a fight scene between the two and Gossip Girl streamed it live on her site. The Devil named Juliet decided to plug it into the TVs at the event to show it to everyone. Little did she know that Serena and Blair were planned it all along to catch Juliet in her bitchy trap. MODED! She claims that she had nothing to do with the decision and it was the alumni committee that made the decision as to who is IN and who is OUT. Turns out that half of the Bass Industries was part of the committee and Lily confronts her with that and makes her hand over her key to Serena, who had always been at the top of the list to be part of the Hamilton House.

In other news, Chuck brought Eva to New York with him and she is discovering his "world".  He claimed that Eva had changed him and tries to introduce him to everyone in his world... his friends and his family.  She thinks that Chuck's life is... "perfect"... but she has NO IDEA.  She has no idea because Chuck never told her his truth.  Lily invited Chuck and Eva to Fashion's Night Out so they can all meet and mingle.  Rufus and Erik aren't crazy about the idea and doesn't want Chuck around because of what he did to Jenny.  (Dude... its Jenny's fault... that biyotch!)

While Eva is shopping for a dress for Fashion's Night Out, Blair happens to end up at the same store and runs into Eva.  She was being the snobby Blair that she is and made rude comments to Eva... calling her a peasant and basically implying that she doesn't belong.  Though I love Blair, that was the ultimate bitch move and I would have slapped her then and there.  Seriously, how could anyone (even Blair Waldorf) live with themselves after saying such cruel things to another human being?  I felt so hurt for Eva and even got sort of teary eyed.  I'm not fond of Eva and she really doesn't have a place to belong on 'Gossip Girl's world, but she just really deserved a hug at that moment.  Poor poor girl! (No pun intended)  OUCH... I still feel the sting for her.  Eva then feels intimidated by Blair and feels a little hurt after what Blair said to her (of course) and she feels like she doesn't belong so she almost didn't go to Fashion Night Out.  Thankfully, sweet talker Chuck talks her into going... and she does!

Chuck approaches Erik and Rufus at the event and tries to apologize for what had happened, but of course, he isn't forgiven.  Rufus is still furious and wants to tell Chuck's new girlfriend what kind of a man she is, and Eva overhears. Rufus asked if that was her, and Chuck lied that she was another social climber trying to get with Chuck Bass and whoever she is, she is not with him. (He is only saying this to stop Rufus from airing out his dirty laundry to her right then and there) Of course Eva is hurt and walks away... trying to leave the event. Chuck stops her from leaving and tries to explain that he was not ashamed of her, but he was ashamed of himself. He tells her everything... or so we think.

Chuck confronts Blair about talking to Eva but Blair brushed it off as if she didn't do anything wrong, as usual. At that point, Eva walks in and told Chuck that she chooses to stay with him... so he introduces her to his Family. Nate finds Juliet and asked her if the reason why she did what she did was because of him, and of course she says yes.

Serena happens to see Nate kiss Juliet and Blair walks in and says, "Once men have tasted caviar, it baffles me how they settle for catfish." - HAHA... now THAT is funny.

Rufus insists that Dan is not Mylo's Father (of course he isn't).  Georgina left on a "spa" getaway, but I suspected that she was just trying to abandon Mylo and leave him with Dan.  Gossip Girl posts a picture of Georgina relaxing in St. Bart's... caught!  So Dan tries to hunt her down, but has no luck.  Dan was faced with the decision to give Mylo up for adoption, but that is not what he wants, so he decides to keep Mylo. Vanessa offers to step in and help out with Mylo, so she withdrew from her classes to help Dan. All of a sudden, Georgina shows up at Dan's and Dan confronts her about her "spa getaway" and that he knows that Mylo is not his son. She of course, was ready to explain herself. She had a very well thought out story and told Dan that she was threatened to be killed by a Russian businessman's wife. (Who knows if that was even the truth? You never know with that girl!)

Georgina decided to move back in with her Parents and is taking Mylo with her, so she and Mylo move out while Vanessa moves in. Blair has Serena move in with her and they become roommates for the school year. Eva ends up staying with Chuck... seems like everyone is getting a new roommate, right?
Juliet visits a guy in prison who seems to be the one who is making Juliet do everything that she is doing. At first I thought it was Carson Basin, but it isn't him because its a totally different guy... unless GG is pulling a soap opera move and replacing actors with different ones thinking that we wouldn't notice. So... who could that guy be and what business does he have trying to sabotage the GG world? Ahhh... suspense!

  • Do you think Eva is going to stick around?
  • WHO is that in prison?
  • When will Little J (Jenny) come back? Its better now that she's gone anyway, but she's gonna have to come back eventually, like Georgina!
  • Speaking of Georgina... was her story a lie? When will she pop up next with more drama? Crazy girl!
