00:00Hey, Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here, and I have the biggest news ever.
00:26One of my many sources, Melanie91, sends us this.
00:30Spotted at Grand Central, bags in hand, Serena Vanderwoodsen.
00:35Was it only a year ago our it girl mysteriously disappeared for, quote, boarding school?
00:40And just as suddenly, she's back.
00:42Don't believe me? See for yourselves.
00:45Lucky for us, Melanie91 sent proof.
00:48Thanks for the photo, Mel.
00:52Dan, Jenny, over here.
00:54Hey, Dad.
00:54Hey, hey, you made it.
00:57Welcome back.
00:58How was your weekend?
00:59How's your mom?
01:00She's fine.
01:01I'm fine again.
01:02She's good and fine.
01:04Like maybe I never should have left Manhattan fine, or taking a time out from my marriage is the best idea I ever had fine.
01:11You know what?
01:12I'm starving.
01:17Let's go home.
01:18I'm cooking.
01:19Crazy salad and a little mustard up the buffalo.
01:21I'm not going to make you guys.
01:23Spotted.
01:27Spotted.
01:28Lonely boy.
01:29Can't believe the love of his life has returned.
01:33If only she knew who he was.
01:36But everyone knows Serena.
01:38And everyone is talking.
01:39I wonder what Blair Waldorf thinks.
01:44Sure, they're BFFs, but we always thought Blair's boyfriend, Nate, had a thing for Serena.
01:49I have to design a dress for this woman, Blair.
02:00If you're going to wear one of my designs, tell me so we can at least get it properly fitted.
02:04Thanks, Mom.
02:07Keep that in mind.
02:09Great party.
02:11She is my best advertisement.
02:13So, Nate, you started thinking about colors?
02:15Well, actually, I'm a Dartmouth man.
02:17Yes, Dad's always spoken very highly of Dartmouth.
02:20But I'd like to check out West.
02:21You know, maybe USC, UCLA.
02:23His mother wouldn't hear of it.
02:24Dartmouth is far enough away for her.
02:27Yes, well, Dartmouth is my first choice.
02:30Excuse me, Captain.
02:31Nate, can I borrow you?
02:33Uh, sure.
02:34Will you excuse me for a second?
02:36Nathaniel.
02:37Any interest in some fresh air?
02:40When I get back?
02:41If he gets back.
02:42What's going on?
02:47I'm going to do this.
02:48It's now.
02:50Now?
02:50Now?
02:51I thought you wanted to wait.
02:52Not anymore.
02:53Better lock it down with Nate, Bea.
02:55Clock's ticking.
02:56My God, you'll never believe us on Gossip Girl.
02:58Someone saw Serena getting off the train at Grand Central.
03:01Good.
03:01Things are getting a little dull around here.
03:12I love you, Nate Archibald.
03:21Boys have boys, Will.
03:25I love you, too.
03:26Serena Vanderwoodsen?
03:42Is that you?
03:45Blair!
03:46It's Serena!
03:48Serena?
03:50Serena's at school.
03:52Kiss me.
03:52No, I just heard your mom say she's here.
03:54No, you want to go say hey?
03:57Yeah.
03:59Totally.
04:00I thought she was at school.
04:01I heard she was pregnant.
04:02I thought you could just rehab and send me.
04:03She looks good.
04:04So I told him, forget it.
04:05I don't care if it's maragami.
04:07It clashes with my sofa.
04:09Mom.
04:10Mom.
04:12Hey.
04:12Oh.
04:13Hey.
04:13This is you.
04:14Serena, darling.
04:16Oh.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Um, so where is he?
04:21Would they even let him out yet?
04:22Let's not discuss that right now, okay?
04:24I thought you might want to see some of your friends.
04:26Thanks.
04:27Thanks.
04:40Hi.
04:42Serena.
04:42So good to see you.
04:44Good to see you.
04:44Come, we're about to have dinner.
04:45I set a place for you at the table next to Blair.
04:47Yeah, actually, um, there's somewhere I have to go.
04:49You're leaving?
04:50Yeah, I just, I don't feel well.
04:51I just wanted to come by and say hi.
04:53I'll see you at school tomorrow.
04:54I'll see you at school.
05:00So I guess she's back for good.
05:03Didn't you know she was coming?
05:05Of course I did.
05:07I just wanted to be surprised.
05:09Word is that S failed on B's party in under 90 seconds and didn't even have one limoncello.
05:16Has our bad girl really gone good?
05:19Or is it all just part of the act?
05:21Young lady, you can't be here.
05:23Visiting hours are over.
05:24I'm family.
05:27He's my brother.
05:31Why'd she leave?
05:32Why'd she return?
05:34Send me all the deeps.
05:35And who am I?
05:37That's one secret I'll never tell.
05:39The only one.
05:40XOXO.
05:42Gossip Girl.
05:43Where is she, Pantery?
05:44And who am I?
05:45That's not a secret I'll never tell.
05:48You know you love me.
05:51XOXO.
05:52Gossip Girl.
05:53XOXO.
05:56XOXO.
06:01XOXO.
06:02XOXO.
06:02XOXO.
06:02XOXO.
06:09XO.
06:09You know, I've been better.
06:12Eric, I know I've been a terrible sister.
06:15I'm just so happy to see you.
06:20Must be a lot of rumors while you're back.
06:22Yeah, but now I'm going to mention you.
06:25Just like Mom wants, huh?
06:26What do I want, baby?
06:27For Serena to sleep in her own bed, possibly wearing pajamas.
06:30Morning, Mom.
06:31Hey, I was just about to ask the doctor if I could take Eric to breakfast.
06:34Want to come?
06:35Um, no.
06:38I think what I'll do is go get him a croissant down the street.
06:45Serena, don't.
06:48Let me guess.
06:48You told everyone Eric's just visiting Grandpa in Rhode Island.
06:52You're Aunt Carol in Miami.
06:53So you're actually hiding him?
06:54He tries to take his own life, and you're worried it's going to cost you Mom of the Year?
06:57Serena, you've been gone.
06:59Doing who knows what with God knows who.
07:01I told you, boarding school was not like that.
07:02You know what? As happy as I am to have you home, you have no idea what it's been like.
07:17Guess whose dad is cool?
07:19It's a trick question.
07:19Yeah, because it can't be ours.
07:21Ha, ha, ha, ha.
07:22Look at this.
07:24Top ten forgotten bands of the 90s.
07:27I thought it was number nine.
07:28He's very proud.
07:29Hey, hey, way to be forgotten.
07:31But that's how you get remembered.
07:33Maybe you'd care if Dad's band was on Gossip Girl.
07:36What?
07:37Gossip Girl?
07:37That's for chicks.
07:39So that wasn't your laptop up into it last night, reading all about Serena Vanderwood's...
07:42Rolling Stone?
07:43Wow.
07:43Why don't you take a look at this again, Dad?
07:45It's very cool.
07:45We can hog number nine.
07:48Hey, what are you working on?
07:49It's called the Kiss on the Lips Party.
07:50Everyone's going.
07:51You were invited to that?
07:53Well, no offense if I sound surprised, since I've never been invited.
07:56One of the girls in my art class saw my calligraphy, and she said that if I adjust all the invitations,
08:00that I can add one.
08:00Sounds very fair.
08:02Sweatshops could learn a thing or two.
08:03Dad, this is not a platform for any anti-capitalist rants.
08:05Yes, it is.
08:06Besides, you make us go to private schools.
08:07That's for your education.
08:08So we should just be anonymous losers who eat lunch alone and never get invited to parties.
08:12Works for me.
08:13Mom thinks it's a good idea.
08:14And her judgment is always sound, right?
08:15Jenny, if you want to go to that party, you should go.
08:24I think it's good to you sometime.
08:36Nate?
08:37Oh, hey.
08:39Your mom told me you guys were staying here at the palace.
08:41Yeah, we're renovating again.
08:43You know my mom, if it's not broke, break it.
08:45So what are you doing here?
08:50Oh, I just wanted to see how you were.
08:52You seemed kind of upset last night.
08:53I got to get going and change for school.
08:55I'm going to be late.
08:56Serena.
08:57No.
08:58No.
08:59But you're back now.
08:59I didn't come back for you.
09:02Look, Blair's my best friend, and you're her boyfriend, and she loves you.
09:07That's the way things are supposed to be.
09:15Where are you going?
09:16Where are you going?
09:17Where are you going?
09:26Serena looked effing hot last night.
09:30There's something wrong with that level of perfection.
09:32It needs to be violated.
09:34You are deeply disturbed and yet, you know, I'm right. You're telling me if you had the chance
09:39I have a girlfriend. You guys have been dating since kindergarten and you haven't sealed the deal. Who says seal the deal?
09:51Are you following us or something? No, I go to your school
09:57Identical uniforms that kind of a tip-off
10:03So you guys want to sit together at lunch. So cute. They should be framed or something
10:09Not bad work. And here's yours as promised. Thanks
10:16Hey
10:17Here you guys are. I looked all over the dining hall for you. Oh, hi. I'm Serena. I know I mean hi. I'm Jenny
10:28So
10:30When's the party?
10:33Saturday and you're kind of not invited
10:43Since until 12 hours ago, everyone thought you were boarding school now. We're full
10:48Jenny used up all the invites
10:51Actually, you can go now
10:53Sorry
10:59No, it's okay. I got a lot of stuff to do anyway
11:03Well, we should get going then
11:06Unless you want us to wait for you. Looks like you got a lot of yogurt left. No, go ahead
11:10Blair, you think we can meet tonight?
11:18I'd love to
11:20I'd love to
11:21But I'm doing something with Nate tonight
11:24The palace
11:248 o'clock
11:26Nate will wait
11:27Spotted on the steps of the Met
11:29An S and B power struggle
11:32I'd probably do a half hour
11:33Did S think she could waltz home and things would be just like they were?
11:36Thanks for making the time
11:38You're my best friend
11:40Did B think S would go down without a fight?
11:43Or can these two hotties work it out?
11:47There's nothing Gossip Girl likes more than a good cat fight
11:51And this could be a classic
11:57You know you know dad there's this thing called myspace where you post all this information online
12:02Say some trees have a blog maybe if musicians got off their blogs
12:07And picked up their guitars the music business would be in better shape woken like a true relic
12:11Thanks son
12:18Hey dad listen um
12:19I gotta run, you gonna be okay?
12:20Yeah
12:21Yeah your mom will be back
12:22She's always been a free spirit
12:24Some of the reasons I fell for in the first place
12:27I meant with the flyers
12:32Luckily staple guns are old school
12:37Yo, alright, I'm gonna be fine
12:41I talked to the nurse and I'm kidnapping you
12:43We're going shopping aren't we?
12:44We're going to Bendel's
12:45Just for an hour though I swear I had a really bad day
12:47Really?
12:48Because I had a great day
12:49Couple of pills, bunch of Rorschach tests
12:50They had this green jello flush
12:51Mmm, why didn't you save me any?
12:53Come on, let's go
12:54We gotta get you out of here before mom shows up
12:55Jenny?
12:56What is it?
12:57What's wrong?
12:58Do you like this on me?
12:59Wait, wait a second, is that why you needed me?
13:00I thought this was an emergency
13:01A fashion emergency?
13:02I mean come on, I've never been to a big dance before
13:03Neither have I
13:04Neither have I
13:05Yeah, but mom's gone and dad's a leisure to department stores
13:06Well you look good, Jen
13:07You do, really
13:08Thanks
13:09I mean, too bad it's more than our rent
13:10But I think I can sew something like it
13:11I think I can sew something like it
13:12Okay
13:13I can sew something like it
13:14I can sew something like it
13:15Oh my gosh, is Serena?
13:16What?
13:17Hi, Serena
13:18Hey
13:19Hey, Jenny, alright?
13:20Yeah
13:21Yeah
13:22I can sew something like it
13:23Oh my gosh, is Serena
13:24Hi, Serena
13:25Hey
13:26Hey
13:27Hey, Jenny, alright?
13:28Yeah
13:29Yeah
13:30Yeah
13:31Hey
13:32Hey
13:33Hey
13:34Hey
13:35Hey
13:36Hey
13:37Hey
13:38Hey
13:39Hey
13:40Hey
13:42Hey
13:43Hey
13:44Hey, Jenny, alright?
13:45Hi
13:46This is my...
13:47Stylist and personal shopper, Eric
13:48Hi
13:49Hi
13:50Um, this is my brother
13:55Um, so is that your dress for the kiss on the lips party?
13:57Sort of
13:58Speaking of that, um, here
14:00I made you one during a free period
14:02But if anyone asks where you got it, I know nothing
14:06Thanks
14:10Dan?
14:11Dan
14:12Jenny
14:13That dress would look even better in black
14:16Black
14:17Black
14:18Cool
14:19Thanks
14:24This is some good stuff
14:26Yeah, I'm gonna need it
14:28Claire's mom's in the country house
14:29Yeah?
14:30Well then maybe I should swipe some of my dad's Viagra
14:32Well my mom's Pax on it
14:35Nathaniel, you're finally about to have sex with your girlfriend
14:38It's like you're headed to your execution
14:40No, man, I'm good
14:41Talk to Chuck, buddy
14:43You and Blair have been dating forever, all of a sudden there's a problem
14:46There's no problem
14:47It's just...
14:49Do you ever feel like our whole lives have been planned out for us?
14:53And we're just gonna...
14:55End up like our parents
14:57Man, that's a dark thought
14:59And aren't we entitled to choose just to be happy?
15:02Look easy, Socrates
15:03What we're entitled to is a trust fund
15:05Maybe a house in the Hamptons
15:06A prescription drug problem
15:08But happiness does not seem to be on the menu
15:10So smoke up and seal the deal with Blair
15:13Cause you're also entitled to tap that ass
15:16So, how's your mom doing with the divorce and everything?
15:28Great
15:29So my dad left her for another man
15:31She lost 15 pounds, got an eye lift
15:33It's been good for her
15:35I'm really sorry
15:37Yeah, I could tell
15:38Since you didn't call her right the entire time it was happening
15:41No, I know, I was just...
15:42Boarding school is like...
15:44I don't even know why you went to boarding school to begin with
15:47Do you know how it felt
15:48Calling your house when Tim showed up at school
15:50And having your mom say
15:51Serena didn't tell you?
15:53That she moved to Connecticut?
15:55I just...
15:56I had to go
15:57I just...
15:58I needed to get away from everything
16:02Please just trust me
16:04How can I trust you?
16:05And I feel like I don't even know you
16:06Let's fix that
16:07I saw you at school with Cati and Iz
16:10And I get it
16:11I don't want to take any of that away from you
16:13Because it's just yours to take if you want it
16:15No, that's not what I mean
16:16I...
16:19I miss you
16:21I just want things to go back to the way they used to be
16:23You know, walking to school together
16:25Dancing on tables at a bungalow
16:27And nights swimming at your mom's country house
16:31You're like my sister
16:32You know, and with our families
16:35We need each other
16:37Well, you missed some classic Eleanor Waldorf meltdowns
16:49If it wasn't such a tragedy, it would have been funny
16:51Actually, it kind of was
16:53Well, I wish I could have been there
16:58You are now
17:03I have to meet Nate
17:04Kind of something special planned
17:06Well, I don't want to keep you
17:07But, um...
17:12I love you, Bea
17:16I love you too, S
17:17I love you too, S
17:22Spotted at the Palace Hotel
17:23S and Bea having a heart-to-heart
17:32Hmm...
17:33Why so thirsty, S?
17:35You may have won over Bea for now
17:37But we still think you're hiding something
17:39Hey
17:46Ah, the invisible man returns
17:48You know, I really had no idea you could move that fast
17:51Yeah, well, uh, your fashion emergency was solved
17:54So, I figured my work was done
17:55Come on, Dan
17:56Serena said hi to you at a 9th grade birthday party
17:58And you've never forgotten it
17:59How could I?
18:00She was the only person who spoke to me
18:02I'm pretty sure she thought I was someone else
18:04Well, you know, she's actually nice
18:06And if she did know you, I think she'd really like you
18:08I don't know, I think she might be a tad overwhelmed
18:10By the glitz and the glamour of the Humphrey lifestyle
18:13Well, I heard she's living at the Palace Hotel
18:15Well, my point exactly
18:17Probably sitting at the bar by herself
18:19Sipping martinis, all alone
18:22You know, it's actually kind of sad
18:25Oh, and, um, Dad's at the gallery working late
18:28He, uh, left money for dinner, so
18:30I was thinking Indian
18:33You know, you know what, I think I'm
18:36I'm gonna go out
18:38Okay
18:41Okay
18:43It's good
18:44Because I already ordered and only got enough for one
18:52Move, please
18:59I love this town
19:00I'm going to have to tell my parents the hotel
19:03They just bought us serving minors
19:06And if you get a drink, they're also serving pigs
19:10I love it when you talk dirty
19:11You just love when a girl talks to you
19:12Actually, I prefer them when they're not talking
19:15Oh, I've missed your witty banter
19:18Let's catch up
19:19Take our clothes off, stare at each other
19:21How about I just get a bite to eat?
19:23I've been drinking on an empty stomach
19:26Heard you didn't do that anymore
19:28Special occasion
19:31Well, how about a grilled cheese with truffle in?
19:34You do love truffles
19:37Enough to know it's not on the menu
19:38Good thing I'm connected
19:39Only because I'm hungry
19:50I'm hungry
20:10Lyle
20:13Hi
20:15Hi
20:16Is it too much?
20:20I want it to be special
20:22What's wrong?
20:37Look, I don't know how to say this
20:39If it's even the right thing to do
20:41But, um
20:45There's something I need to tell you
20:47Alfonzo
20:48You're a stud
20:50Now, uh, have a good night
20:52We'll close in the kitchen early
20:56Oh my god, this is so good
20:59Well, if you're looking for a way to thank me
21:01I've got a couple ideas
21:03It's a sandwich, Chuck
21:04It's a chocolate
21:09This is tough
21:11This is not happening right now
21:12You worried Nate will find out?
21:17What?
21:18Last year
21:20The Shepherd wedding
21:23You think I don't know why you left town
21:29Hurry up
21:30You know what else must be here
21:31Oh, if the happy couple didn't want to put up the cash for the screaming bar
21:34They should have a B-Y-O-B
21:36No
21:37Let me see it
21:38No, make it like you
21:39No
21:40Let me just show you real quick
21:41Let me see it
21:42Let me see it
21:43Stop
21:45That's amazing
21:47That never happens to me
21:48It's okay, you're still a man, Lyle
21:49Look at you, you're a mess
21:52Look at you, you're a mess
21:53Look at you, you're a mess
21:54I'm sorry, yeah
22:00But...
22:01That was it
22:03You guys kissed
22:04That's the thing
22:07And I'm sorry
22:08That's the point
22:09Are you sure you've at least kissed?
22:10And you know what?
22:11And you know what it is
22:12I'm sorry
22:13But you've already kissed
22:14Best friend and the boyfriend.
22:36It's pretty classy, yes?
22:38I think you're more like me than you'd admit.
22:43No.
22:43No, that was then.
22:46I've been trying to change.
22:49I liked you better before.
22:54Stop it.
22:55No, stop it.
23:00I knew it.
23:01I always knew there was something.
23:03Get out.
23:06Stop.
23:07No.
23:07Get off of me!
23:15I tried.
23:20I'm so sorry.
23:32Are you okay?
23:32And just when B&S had built a bridge, it all had to come crashing down.
23:48But dry your eyes.
23:49The kiss on the lips party is around the corner.
23:52And you know who loves parties?
23:54Gossip Girl.
23:54Nice try, son.
24:03Maybe next time.
24:05You seem upbeat this morning.
24:07Did you have fun with Blair last night?
24:09Actually, we got into a pretty big fight.
24:10You want my advice?
24:11Apologize.
24:12Even if it was her fault.
24:13Flowers, maybe some jewelry if she's really upset always works for your mom.
24:16I don't know.
24:16I think it might be for the best.
24:17Wait a minute.
24:20You guys broke up?
24:21Yeah, I guess we did.
24:24Blair is a great girl.
24:26I know.
24:28I'm just not sure if she's the girlfriend.
24:29You guys have been dating since kindergarten.
24:31So I keep hearing.
24:33Well, you love her, don't you?
24:34Yes, I do.
24:36I just think it might be good for us to take a break, you know?
24:38Maybe not right now.
24:42Eleanor Waldorf is gearing up to take her company public,
24:45and I've been courting her for months to let me handle the deal.
24:47Then you should get it.
24:48I will get it.
24:49If you could just help me out a little bit.
24:53What?
24:54You love her, she loves you?
24:56It's just a rough patch, that's all.
24:57You don't give up just because things are hard.
25:00Not in business.
25:01Or if your family is depending on you.
25:07How do you know it was Miss Vandell Woodson's if you didn't read it?
25:09And if you're not a guest at the hotel, what were you doing there?
25:13What?
25:13Uh, look, when Prince Charming found Cinderella's slipper,
25:18they didn't accuse him of having a foot fetish.
25:20And you're Prince Charming?
25:22Well, there's Miss Vandell Woodson now.
25:24Uh, Serena.
25:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
25:25What are you doing?
25:26Hey, um, do you know this young man?
25:28She doesn't know me.
25:29Nobody knows me.
25:30It's cool.
25:31It's fine.
25:32Uh, from last night, right?
25:35I'm sorry about that.
25:37You remember me?
25:40She remembers me.
25:41Well, he claims he found your cell phone.
25:42Oh, you found it.
25:45Hey, Mom.
25:46Guess what I got for you?
25:47A dress for Kiss on the Lips.
25:48I saw the invitation on the nightstand.
25:51Oh, uh, I'm not going to that.
25:53What do you mean?
25:53Blair's throwing it.
25:54Yeah, um, see, the problem is, uh,
25:57but by the time I got the invitation,
25:59I, um, actually already had plans.
26:01Plans with whom?
26:07My friend.
26:12Uh, yeah, hi, uh, nice to meet you.
26:15This is Vanderwoodson.
26:16I'm Dan Humphrey.
26:18What are you and Dan Humphrey doing?
26:20We, uh...
26:23Uh, uh, we're going to a concert tonight.
26:27Lincoln Hall.
26:28Yeah, Rolling Stone named them
26:29one of the top ten forgotten bands of the 90s.
26:32Woo!
26:33I'm a huge fan.
26:34Mm.
26:34Well, this party would have been
26:35the perfect opportunity for you
26:37to announce your return,
26:38but I guess I'll just, uh,
26:40keep the dress for myself.
26:44Yeah, no, I'm...
26:46It's not a problem, really.
26:53So you'll pick me up at eight?
26:57You really go out with some guy you don't know?
27:00Well, you can't be worse than the guys I do know.
27:11Thanks for meeting me.
27:21Look, Blair, I...
27:22I really hurt you.
27:23And I know that.
27:24And I want to fix it.
27:25Really?
27:25And how are you going to do that?
27:27I want to put everything in the past.
27:29I'm not going to see Serena again
27:30or even talk to her.
27:32It'll be like she doesn't exist.
27:33I think that's a good idea.
27:42Let's not mention it again.
27:44You can eat that.
27:45That's it?
27:47Because you were pretty upset last night.
27:50I mean, should we talk about this?
27:51There's nothing to talk about.
27:52I overreacted.
27:54If you say it's in the past,
27:55it's in the past.
27:58I'm sure you have no feelings for her anymore.
27:59I just feel bad for Serena.
28:04She'll really miss you.
28:06Want a time to slimo cup?
28:08Eight.
28:10Perfect.
28:20Lily!
28:21Are you shopping for some art to match your furniture?
28:25Why is my daughter going to one of your concerts?
28:28Because we're awesome.
28:30With your son.
28:32Dan scored a date with Serena.
28:33Mm-hmm.
28:34Well, our kids are about to meet.
28:35It's a small island.
28:36Are you sure it's not some ploy you're using my daughter
28:38to get to me now that your wife left you?
28:41How do you know about Allison?
28:42Like you said, small island.
28:45Oh, I get it.
28:46You hear about Allison,
28:47use your daughter as an excuse to start something.
28:49Yeah.
28:50In your dreams.
28:51Well, you are in my dreams, Lily.
28:53And one of the particular precursors
28:54involves finding you in the back of a nine-inch nails bus
28:56with your shoes and your earrings
28:58and Trent Reznor.
28:58Oh, that happened.
29:03No need to rehash details of decades past.
29:07So I moved on.
29:08Yeah, from Trent to Lane to Perry
29:10until you switched up rock stars for billionaires.
29:12You think you're so cute.
29:15Washed-up band.
29:16Crappy so-called art gallery.
29:19Well, not all of us have settlements
29:22from multiple divorces to sustain us.
29:24Just stay out of my life, Rufus.
29:38You're going out with Serena,
29:39and I'm going to kiss on the lips.
29:41You said this family wasn't cool.
29:42Well, listen, I don't want to be late,
29:44but good luck, huh?
29:46Same.
29:48She's at the concert, right, Dad?
29:50Uh, okay.
29:54Oh, my God.
29:55My daughter's a woman.
29:58Dad, you could just tell me I look nice
29:59instead of turning this into a sermon
30:01on the passage of time.
30:02You look like your mother.
30:08Thanks.
30:10Blair, let me see how it looks.
30:14Why are you wearing that one?
30:15Didn't you see the dress I left on the bed?
30:17I like this one.
30:19This one is not as elegant a choice as that one.
30:24Why do you care so much?
30:26Because I love you.
30:29Blair, you will never be more beautiful
30:31or thin or happy than you are right now.
30:35I just want you to make the most of it.
30:41I guess I have time to change.
30:43And put some product in your hair.
30:44The ends are dry.
30:45Okay.
31:01It's hard to live in the city.
31:05It's hard to live in the city.
31:07So just wear your hair down low.
31:10Don't let anybody know that it's hard to live in the city.
31:21There's something about you that I couldn't tell.
31:32And you were always crazy.
31:36There's something about you.
31:38There's something about you.
31:40There's something about you.
31:45It's hard to live in the city.
31:46It's hard to live in the city.
31:47It's hard to live in the city.
31:52Yeah, yeah.
32:12Who's the newbie?
32:14Jenny Humphrey.
32:15She's a freshman.
32:16I love freshman.
32:17They're so...
32:18Fresh.
32:20Anything about her on Gossip Girl?
32:22No.
32:23No, that's what you're done with her.
32:31Hi.
32:32I'm Chuck.
32:33I know.
32:34I mean, hi, I'm Jenny.
32:37It's nice to meet you.
32:40You too.
32:42Looks like little Jay might end up with a new boy and a ticket to the inner circle.
32:46Or will C end up with another victim?
32:49I told you I love parties.
32:52Well, it's just you and me.
32:56So, I'm a little overdressed, aren't I?
32:59Honestly, I don't really have a problem with your appearance.
33:07Hey, come on.
33:07I want you to meet one of the guys in the band.
33:10Oh, so you're a groupie?
33:11Well, not quite.
33:13Serena, I'd like you to meet Rufus Humphrey, Dad.
33:16This is Serena.
33:17Serena Vander Woodson.
33:20Oh, I don't know how I know that.
33:22Nice to meet you.
33:23Nice to meet you, too.
33:25You guys are a little early.
33:26It's going to be a while before we take the stage.
33:28Yeah, I may have slightly over-budgeted for travel time.
33:34Hey, I should go tune that.
33:36Excuse me.
33:37Enjoy the show.
33:38Son, talk to you later.
33:39Yeah, see you.
33:40So, you're going to meet your dad on the first date?
33:49So, this is a date?
33:52Oh, I should have worn my loafers, then.
33:56Dressed down a little bit.
33:58Let's go and talk to him quietly.
34:02Okay.
34:02Okay.
34:02Well, this is definitely quieter, but, um, do you actually know where we're going?
34:16Your hair looks pretty good.
34:21So, uh, you said you wanted to talk.
34:24Um, what do you want to talk about?
34:28How into you I am.
34:29Okay, I'm, I'm sorry.
34:40Uh, if you don't want to do anything, that's, that's cool.
34:45Let's start over.
34:46Yeah, um, do you want to start over back at the party?
34:49Uh, have a glass of champagne, please.
34:53Maybe one.
34:59Thanks.
35:11What?
35:11Sorry, no, nothing, nothing.
35:12I just, um, my sister was right.
35:15You're nice.
35:17But you asked me out on a date and you didn't think I was nice?
35:19No, uh, just thought you were hot.
35:21And technically, you asked me out.
35:25Oh, okay, okay, I see.
35:27So, um, sensitive, tortured soul boy is actually kind of superficial, huh?
35:31Yeah, just, just a little bit.
35:32Good to know.
35:34Sorry.
35:41What, better offer?
35:42No, it's my sister.
35:43She's at that kiss-on-the-lips party, you know?
35:45She's having some problems with this guy, Chuck.
35:46I'm sorry, I have to go.
35:49I'll go with you.
35:50No, really, that's okay.
35:51No, no, listen, if it's Chuck, it's not okay.
36:03Look, I'm, I'm gonna do a lap, okay?
36:05Look for her.
36:06Okay, yeah.
36:07What?
36:09She's really here?
36:10That really hurts.
36:11Everyone said she wasn't invited.
36:13She's wasted.
36:14Do you think Blair knows?
36:15She's so nice.
36:17She's so great.
36:18Serena.
36:24Serena's here?
36:26What is she doing here?
36:27She wasn't invited.
36:35There, come on.
36:36Are you really gonna kick her out?
36:37Did you invite her?
36:38What?
36:38No.
36:39God, I told you.
36:41Do not talk to her.
