<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, listeners, do your one and only source into

<v Speaker 1>O x o oh Man, Hello, Hello, Um, you were

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>just telling me that it's sixty degrees in New York

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>right now. It's literally been like yesterday was high sixty eight.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Today it's right like sixty two right now, and it's

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>just not right. You know. It's like we're over here

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.879
<v Speaker 1>wearing our fall jackets and just sweating our faces off.

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's beautiful weird. It's super weird because I feel

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>like any time in around you know, November, you're like

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>almost getting your winter jackets out. Yeah, Like I already

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 1>had my scarf out. Yeah. And I feel like anyone

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>that lives in New York or is from there and

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>it's sixty eight, they're like in T shirts. Oh yeah

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>st in l A. And people have full blown, like

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>no outfits on. Oh. I love it and I love

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>My favorite thing about l A is when it rains

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and everybody just like gets just frozen. Nobody nut cars,

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>can't drive and no one knows how to drive. I'm like,

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>you're not even from here, You're literally from a place

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>where it rained all the time. Like no one is

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>from l A, but no one can drive in the

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>rains out people's sensibilities. It's fifty five here, and so

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you go outside in Scottsdale and it's so cold out too,

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you're so used to this heat here,

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm like going back, Like now I have

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>my sweater and I'm sweating. Anyways, it's still beautiful. But yeah,

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, let's just figure out the temperature somewhere. I know.

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just a weird Yeah, something's going awry, well know

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>it is, but you know, we just have to live something. Yeah,

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>something is for sure. We just have to do it.

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>It's very freaky. It is kind of freaky. This is true. Um, okay,

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>so we are. We are in season three now, Season

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>three episodes of Yes, Episode two The Freshman, which is

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>this movie with Matthew Broderick. Is that what the title

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>is based on. I think it is that one, right,

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>And then it's like here it makes perfect sense too,

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>because we have a group full of freshmen and it's

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>funny because it's like, uh, you know, we're anticipating this

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>move to college and then we get it here finally,

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's like I remember this episode. Remember, like, actually

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>have some memories of filming this one, so it's good. Yes,

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>things definitely pop back in my in my head and

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>my mind in my heart. There was definitely moments where

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh my god, I remember that roof. There

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>was definitely moments where I'm like, I don't remember the

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>bookstore and Georgina, but all the shots in between of

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>like New York City and the streets going up with

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>all the cabs, and like, oh, I really like how

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>this director did that. And I sometimes have to go

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>back and be like, Okay, wait, this is whose episode again,

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.959
<v Speaker 1>and it was Norman's, So I'm like, I clearly love

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the way he shoots things, obviously. Yeah, his style and

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>his his visual sensibility, his style is dope. Yeah, I

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>love it. Um. I also think Good Girls Go Bad

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>by COVID Starship featuring Layton was awesome and I forgot

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that it was in this episode. Oh it's so crazy

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>that we got Like I remember when she when her

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>music was popular and we were filming when it was

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I was hearing it everywhere, you know, I was hearing

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>it in taxis and every store, and it was always

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>got such a kick out of it because it's like

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>so hard when you know her and how like mellow

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>she is to like connect her with like pop star,

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>rock star person, you know. But it was But it's

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>so funny that we had that that song was featured here.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>It's so cool. Yeah. Also, when we get to that

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>part in the episode, I'll tell you my thoughts on

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>it because it's I think the irony of all of

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that was was quite interesting to me. But there was

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>like a fan question that wanted to know about Layton

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>doing music while shooting the show, how she was like

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>juggling at all. I mean, that's a question for Layton,

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So I don't want to like words in anyone's mouth

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>or speak for someone. I would say I don't really know.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>But she obviously handled it and juggled it well because

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>she was shooting a show and had hit songs come out,

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and we didn't really know that anything was stressful or

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>too much or anything at all, because she showed up

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>to work as professional and fun and cool as Layton

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>always was. And then you would like go anywhere in

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the city or anywhere all over the world and her

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>song was playing. So the fact that all of that

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>was going on and we you know, she never complained

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. I would say she I would

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.720
<v Speaker 1>have to imagine that she was enjoying and it went well,

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>because that's a lot, right, She definitely juggled it well.

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>But also, I mean, the one thing I know, and

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean not to speak for Laton, but I remember,

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it's always so interesting because she has such a like

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a musical heart that that's like a passion of her.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say it supersedes being an actor, but it's

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>definitely up there. So I know that whether she was

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>producing albums or doing shows or not, she was probably

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>always making music. So I think it's like that was

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>her outlet, you know. So it's interesting when somebody wears

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>all the hats and she's so good at it, right,

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>And there was times like I remember she went on

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a tour and I went to a couple of her

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>shows where she was just like singing and playing guitar

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, and such a different side or vibe that

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I think most people, especially listening to this and watching

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the show, you get from her because it's so different

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>from Blair. And I always really enjoyed that. So I

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know if we're answering your question, I'm very sorry.

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I would guess that she just she she handled it

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>great because we never really heard a complaint or new still,

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>but a great actor. She is too, like Blair. Imagine

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 1>it's incomprehensible to imagine Blair Waldorf playing a guitar and yeah,

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it's that's lat exactly. Like she really has a lot

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of range, you know what I mean, because she's able

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to personify this human being who's so not that and

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>in fact, in this epiod, so there are some moments

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>where Blair is is kind of confronted with like pop

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>music and she's like, turn off that noise. I mean,

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like she's so it's like her in her world.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>It's a very different vibe. So I feel like that's

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>interesting to imagine that. You know some of that music

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 1>was actually made by Laton, Right, Well, that's what I

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say when earlier, when the song is like

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a part of the roof top party, I didn't even

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>realize that she said that with that song. Well, the

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.679
<v Speaker 1>iron need to me was when the roof deck party

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>is happening and all the stuff with Georgina is that

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>when Blair is looking so alone and now this is

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the first time, she's feeling like an outsider in this world.

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>And then this song hits and there's like such a

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>vibe and it's on this roof deck in the city,

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and then the song comes and it's late in the song,

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>so all of it right, so multi level? Yeah, so meta, Yeah,

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty cool. So meta. Um. This was another question

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>when we started season three, like we're all kind of

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>dialed in out, like where we know all the crew members,

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, we're you know, are a lot of

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the same locations, you know, like that was very popular

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.239
<v Speaker 1>by that point, so it's like everything was established. Yeah. Yeah,

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like it was a different feeling going in?

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>That was someone's question. How was the how was it

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>going into season three? I don't I was always learning

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.559
<v Speaker 1>as the show went on, like about everything when because

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the show kept getting bigger, so that changed the way

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>we lived our lives. But I feel like as the

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>show went on, I was always excited to get back

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to see everyone and to be back in the city

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of the times I would leave. But

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>that's that's I can only speak for myself. I don't know, well,

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I was always still here, but I remember that like, yeah,

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>by the time it was season three, I think I

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>told you earlier. I had that sensation always that you know,

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I would never be in another episode, and I was

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>always nervous I would I know, I know. So it's like,

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I think by season three, I started feeling a little

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>bit more like, Okay, this I'm on this show. UM,

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>so I think that um A lot of my best

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>row to storylines come up in season three, So I

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>think I'm really started feeling a little more comfortable and

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>just kind of happier to go to work because it

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't so it didn't seem so fleeting, like I was

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>able to trust it a little bit. So I I

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>know for me, you know, it's not that you relax,

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>but you just enjoy maybe a little bit more and

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just like a little yes, there's a little bit

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>more of like a I don't know how to say comfort,

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>but maybe I feel like I know what you mean. Well,

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think it's fun because like when you're

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>working on a TV show, especially when with so many

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>episodes and then you kind of get in the groove,

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you also get that kind of work routine. It's the

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that it's actually a job that you go to Yeah,

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you have you know, you know how long the van

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 1>ride takes, and you know what the day looks like

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, so it's like it kind of

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>becomes a part of your life in a different way

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like as actors, we always have such unstable,

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, like irregular schedules, and so it's nice to

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>get the vibe to be like, well, this is where

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I work and I go to work. So yeah, I

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>think by season three we got that. Yeah, definitely, Yeah,

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>we were in it to win it. Okay, So here

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>is where we left off. Despite Rufus's best efforts, Serena

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>continues her plan to use the paparazzi against her father. Meanwhile,

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Carter isn't taking Serena's rejection well and he continues pursuing

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>her despite a restraining order. This isn't the only stormy relationship, however,

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>as Vanessa butts heads with Dan while Chuck and Blair

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>do their best to keep their relationship interesting. Right, that

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>is where we left off, ladies, and a lot of

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>groundwork was laid, and that will been that first episode

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 1>of the season. So here we are in episode two

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.319
<v Speaker 1>and Blair, who is determined to maintain her queen be

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>status in college, of course, embarks on her first day

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>at n YU along with Dan and Vanessa. Georgina turns

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.079
<v Speaker 1>up and plots to make Blair a social outcast. As

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Serena prepares to depart for Brown, she and Chuck have

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>a major falling out, so she recruits one of his

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>old enemies to help her get even. Meanwhile, Nate and

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>We decide to explore their relationship further, knowing full well

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.319
<v Speaker 1>it could cause tension between their families who are political rivals.

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>So we got a little bit something with everybody as usual,

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:15.079
<v Speaker 1>a little a little bit of something with everyone. Okay, Well,

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>first of all it opens up with you and Blair

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that we got the pearls going on, the red dress,

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>very structure. I feel like the look, even it's obviously

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>very Blair, but I feel like the look is like, Okay,

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>she's like trying to grow up a little bit, you know,

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>like right, and she's well, you know, it's interesting because

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you had this feeling in your

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>life too, but you know that feeling when you're entering

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a new phase of life and you kind of can

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:39.959
<v Speaker 1>redefine yourself or be like who am I going to

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>be in this iteration? And you always it's always that

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>extra effort at the top to say, like what did

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you learn forward want to be better at? Yeah? So

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like with her, she's definitely attempting a certain maturity,

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a certain like non high school vibe, even though she

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>could still you know, still that she can't get away

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>from it. And I mean, we have that fantastic moment

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>later in the episod where um Dan says no headbands

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>in college and he like rips her head band off.

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>But she's trying, I think, to be a more grown

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>up version of herself, which is funny because like all

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>these characters are already so kind of grown up in

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>a way in terms of their style. It's sweet to

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>watch her get ready, and you know, I remember a

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 1>little bit of these storm room scenes from filming. I

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>mean I remember filming that stuff and then y U stuff,

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>And I really liked the scene where Dorota sort of

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>helping Blair get dressed and ready, And it was so

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>funny to me because like my face, like as Deronda,

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>like I was so like in love with Blair was insane,

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm like looking at her to my long lost

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>puppy and like like that. It was like it made

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>me laugh out loud because I was like, wow, Dorote

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>is like really proud of miss Blair for this starting

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>n y U. And so I really liked the start

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of this episode. I thought it was really kind of

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:58.439
<v Speaker 1>a lovely look into Blair's psyche. When you two are together,

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>it just feels good because you know that you have

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 1>that Corota has Blair's best interest and really says the

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>best in her, which is great because not everyone does

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>with Blair as you see in this episode, you know,

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and even when you try to, she still sometimes gets

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>in her in her own way. Um. And then I

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>just felt like the whole conversation with her and Chuck,

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>he goes fluorescent lights, communal showers, public school girls, like

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what the dorms are gonna be like, and She's like, listen,

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I just need to live there to be queen. Like

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>this bitch is still just trying to be queen be

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, get over it. Yeah, it's so amazing, but

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it's all such a part of Gossip Girl that we

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>need to have that or like what are we doing

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>right right? And I think it's an interesting question actually,

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 1>because like, do people who are super popular and like

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of rule the roost in high school? It's got

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.719
<v Speaker 1>to be a nerve racking moment and they transition into

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a college world because that's how you identify yourself and

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden you have a new, bigger pond.

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>So it kind of is relatable. I think to a

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. Are people that don't really care what

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you were in high school, and people really different sense

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>of what's cool. Aren't going to be bossed around? Right

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>when I went to college, because I went from I

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>went high school Indiana in a public high school, and

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>then I went to Barnard College here in the city

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>um Columbia, and all of the girls I went to

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 1>school with they were from the East coast. They had

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>gone to private school. And I remember feeling really out

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>of my element because not even in a cool girl

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Queen Bee way, but in terms of I just felt

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>really really vulnerable in the beginning. I remember that feeling.

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So I think that you know that growing pains of

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 1>transitioning in life, they're certainly relatable in this Blair storyline

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in this episode, you know for sure, and that goes

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>again not to be redundant. But like what Norman said,

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>just about the emotions, like what she's going through, whether

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>it's this whole Queen Bee Blair, Upper east Side, Lower Manhattan, right,

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people do what on neither end. Yeah,

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>like meeting new people, not having your Serena, They're not

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>having your Chuck there with you, not having your Deroda

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>there with you, even though Deroda is right there handing

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>out these gift bags to make the girls it's okay. Um.

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of funny moments in here. But

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>even like at the ny U when Georgina moves in

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>on Blair, was Garota in the dorm room when Georgina

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>first comes in. I can't remember exactly what I think.

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>There was definitely a moment when things start going down,

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and there's like a moment I really enjoyed where Garroda

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>just like just backs out, just leaves, and like just

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>but she leaves in this like really funny way. It

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>was almost like she was moonwalking her way out because

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it was Georgina all of a sudden appears and she's

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>like high roomy or high roommate, and it's like, thats

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just way too much and then Vanessa is there. So

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>now all of a sudden, you have three people that

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>don't really see eye to eye, don't really get along,

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that are all going to be living within not on

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the same floor together. Right, that is like Blair's worst nightmare,

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And to be honest, Vanessa's too, Yeah, no kidding, Yeah,

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's like Vanessa is I only in a place

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>where like she's the like she's kind of the cool

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Queen Bee type vibe. Yeah, but then you're all of

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a sudden she's facing off with her biggest nightmares. Yeah,

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 1>these two. And then and then of course Blairs like

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I need a party, We need a party, so right

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>here goes to rote a planet a party. That was

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a funny thing because I threw it against Hales a

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>taxi cab, which I know for a fact I must

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>have been excited about because I loved shooting on the

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>street because I didn't get to do it as much

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>as everybody else, you know, because I was always inside, right,

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm sure I enjoyed that, and I'm sure

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>it was fun and getting in the cab and everything,

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>but I have no memory of that. And I was like,

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you watch yourself and you don't have

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>any memory. Almost feels like out of body because quite awesome.

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>That's definitely me. That was not a stunt double or

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a stand in. It was me. Yeah, it's very crazy.

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember apparently we did cross paths I guess

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>in that dorm room interchange. Yeah, but I don't remember that,

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>or I mean, I know we were in the n

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>y U world. We were circling around the same Yeah,

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think. I don't think I saw you.

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>We definitely didn't speak or like have coverage together up clearly. Yeah,

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. But that's probably as close as

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>we got. Yeah, and I don't really remember. The dorm

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>rooms were on stage correct. We weren't at m y U.

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Those were on silver at Silver Cup, right, Yeah, they

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 1>built those. I remember they built them because they had

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 1>because it was most of this season. Because I do remember,

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>because I went in and there was like a couple

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>like things where I'm like, oh, this is so cute.

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I kind of want to like take this from my

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 1>own place, and so it was definitely decorated from Yeah.

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Well that's another thing that was cool in this episode,

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>was like the decorating of the rooms, like the fact

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>that Blair commissioned, you know, deroded to basically like recreate

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>her home space in the dorm. There was you know,

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>we've talked before about taking things from the set, and

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I always remember that the one thing that Layton got

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>was that there was a little tiny china plate with

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a bee on it, and that plate was just on

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the wall of Blair's room, and then I happened to

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.439
<v Speaker 1>notice in this episode that it made it to the

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>dorm room too, So it was like this little bee,

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 1>like a little initial be like a decorative plate, and

0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 1>it's it's like those little things that I remember that

0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>just totally take me back. And she had the Mary

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Antoinette kind of painting in a room that also made

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it over remember that, But then I love that the

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.959
<v Speaker 1>fact that Georgina crashes in on her and brings this

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.639
<v Speaker 1>like not to be a judgmental, but this kind of

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>ugly tapestry that she wants to hang on the wall,

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's like part of terrorizing Blair. I

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>was going to ask you, did you find like, when

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 1>you were watching this episode unfold, did you kind of

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>immediately see where Georgina was going with this plan? Did

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you see that she was there to sort of dethrone

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Blair or to keep her from socially. You know, I

0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't to me. When Chuck went to see Georgina at

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the end of season two and she finds out that

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Blair was there, her reaction of like, oh Blair, and

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>then like she changed everything, left the you know, Christian camp.

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.440
<v Speaker 1>She's had some like thing this whole time. Obviously, um,

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 1>but I just don't know where she's going, Like does

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>she really like Dan? Does she not? Why do you

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.960
<v Speaker 1>want to so much? Like you're you were away anyway,

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 1>You're coming back to ask for trouble or give trouble,

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.120
<v Speaker 1>So why are you doing that? Just stay away then,

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So, especially because Georgina she

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>pulls ship out of thin air, I'm like, you're this

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>one day. I mean even in this episode. The next

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>part of this episode almost Vanessa and Danna at this

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 1>bookstore and Georgina's sees them. Did she run into them? No,

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you knew where they were? I mean, are you following them?

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I see, I don't know what Georgina there's

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>just so sneaky. But then but then she also plays it,

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>plays her heart strings a little bit like in this

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>with Dan and Vanessa, I was like, wait a minute,

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>she actually it kind of made me feel sad for

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>her when they were like unable to fully go there

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:06.159
<v Speaker 1>with her. When she's like, would you like to have

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.239
<v Speaker 1>a coffee, it's like you don't know, because you know,

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.879
<v Speaker 1>I'd bet money that she was manipulating them. But then

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.119
<v Speaker 1>there are these little slippers of like, oh, maybe she

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.679
<v Speaker 1>does feel lonely now and now she wants forgiveness, and

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>then maybe she's starting or wants to start start fresh.

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It's convincing, it's it was interesting, and Vanessa even says

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that to Dan, like she wants to start start new

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:32.640
<v Speaker 1>and fresh and we want to fresh start Why why

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 1>can't write? And I'm like, see that's Vanessa being real

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>sweet again, giving people a chance again. So yeah, so

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 1>then again, like then then this is a scene that

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>comes up after she like walks into Blairs, you know,

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.239
<v Speaker 1>she goes into Blairs. Then she's trying to see if

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>she can have coffee with Dan and Vanessa. And at

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.160
<v Speaker 1>this point I'm like, I don't know what this bitch

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.439
<v Speaker 1>is trying to do, but like I'm not mad at

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.880
<v Speaker 1>her right now, but I don't know what she's pulling, Yeah,

0:19:55.880 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>but you know you will be right. Well, it's interesting

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's like we have like basically Blair desperate to

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.119
<v Speaker 1>make her mark at n y U, all of a sudden,

0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>faced with her biggest nightmare, Georgina as a roommate. We

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know exactly what Georgina has planned, and we see

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of Dan and Vanessa already thriving in the n

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>y U scene. We see the sort of beginning of

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.160
<v Speaker 1>this new chapter, and then it's like, on the other

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>side of town, you have Serena in this kind of

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 1>complicated situation with Chuck where basically like she never got

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in the car or whatever, she never went off to school,

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>she decided to bail on Brown, yeah, and she ends

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 1>up staying with Chuck. Um. So you know, there's this

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of total opposite thing happening over there, which is

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 1>like Serena's in trouble or is she or what's she doing? Yeah?

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And I like I would have never imagined that when

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 1>she was is not gonna go through with going to Brown,

0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that She's going to Chuck, right, So that was like, whoa,

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:07.880
<v Speaker 1>this is nuts that Serena wants to go to Chuck

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:14.119
<v Speaker 1>for like, yeah, support kind of shelter basically shelter. Yeah.

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.159
<v Speaker 1>And then it seems like it's gonna be okay for

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a minute, and then we realized that Chuck has a

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 1>business plan. He's in the works business meeting going on. Yeah,

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 1>that's like high intensity where he has these plans. I love,

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like this is not even just a gossip rol but

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I love like television in general, where um, he's like, oh,

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I have this plan for this restaurant space, and then

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:37.439
<v Speaker 1>of course the plans are just all laid out right

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>in front of them and then they look at the

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>pictures and you know, I love that part but it's

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>perfect yeah. Yeah, And he wants to do a speak

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>easy right, so it's going to be like a respectable

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.159
<v Speaker 1>place up top, but then like a really down in

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.639
<v Speaker 1>dirty speak easy downstairs right with like debauchery. Right. Is

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:57.639
<v Speaker 1>that is that the idea? I guess? And he basically

0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:02.160
<v Speaker 1>is he's he's like telling Serena that she actually genuinely like, whoa,

0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 1>this is a great idea, Chuck. Then she accidentally messes

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 1>up the deal. Is it an accident the first time

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>that she does? I think that the first time was

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 1>definitely not intentional, right, and then but throughout the course

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 1>of the episode, she starts to sabotage him purposefully, right,

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was like, what was her intention there?

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.239
<v Speaker 1>So it's like she basically like accidentally slips up in

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 1>front of the investor and says that, like Chuck is

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>planning to speakeasy, and that's like not in his business

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>plan that he's pitching. So he's like, already, she's already

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.440
<v Speaker 1>messing things up for him. But then all of a sudden,

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>but then it gets worse and worse and out of hand,

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and she starts kind of purposefully tanking this for him. Yeah,

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 1>it's it's she gets like dirty, she gets almost like

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>grudge hearing at the point, like the scene with her

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:49.119
<v Speaker 1>and Carter and Chuck, I'm like, whoa Like even the

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 1>look in Serena's eye and stuff, I'm like, what where

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? Like? And then it felt bad

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>for Chuck when he gets up. This is later in

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the episode, but when he gets up and he's like,

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I genuinely like I was concerned for you're not going

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to school. That's why I went to rufus, Like he

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>wasn't trying to be manipulative there is that why I

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 1>guess that's why she gets mad at him. I see, yes,

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.399
<v Speaker 1>and and Serena is nervous, I think because she doesn't

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>want Lily to know she's not going. She doesn't want

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to upset her mom, which I think a lot of kids, teenagers,

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:22.480
<v Speaker 1>young adults you know that are in these kids shoes,

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.199
<v Speaker 1>like leaving one chapter, leaving high school, and going to

0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>their next chapter, going to college. I think a lot

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of times people are very concerned that they're making their

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.159
<v Speaker 1>parents proud and making sure they're making the next right

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>choice in the next step. But the expectations, I don't

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>know that. I feel like that's got to be a

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 1>very tough, tough thing for someone that's also not really

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 1>quite sure what you want to do with the rest

0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 1>of your life, especially if she had such a crazy

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>summer and she's been disappointed by her dad. She can

0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 1>you get her dad to pay attention to her when

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>she was seeking him out overseas. You know, she's growing up,

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.199
<v Speaker 1>but she doesn't know which direction to turn, and she

0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:59.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have any kind of solid moorings, you know, because

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Kelly Rutherford is still on maternity leave in this episode,

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and so Lily's character is away still, so Rufus is

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the paternal figure, you know, that that she has to

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 1>turn to. So it's like, in a way, she's a

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit unchecked and untethered. And now she's staying with

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Chuck and she doesn't know what she's doing next. And

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I think Blair, at least on the surface does. Everyone

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.879
<v Speaker 1>else kind of has their path, So she's you know,

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 1>feeling a little bit direction lists maybe, so then she

0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of gets a little like snippy or nasty, you know,

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.360
<v Speaker 1>with Chuck. And it's I mean, it makes sense because

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like people get reactive, you know, when they're

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:38.439
<v Speaker 1>not sure, not failing, supportive. Yeah. Well, and she's in

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>a situation where she's like trying, she's crying out for

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 1>attention for her father. Then this other father figure that

0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 1>cares about her so much, is a wonderful dad to

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 1>his kids. Rufus is trying to protect her without letting

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 1>anyone really know or throwing Serena under the bus. And

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 1>then her mom. We have Lily who's kind of having

0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:58.919
<v Speaker 1>to play the mom and dad for her since her

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.880
<v Speaker 1>dad was absent all the years. So and I think

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes even if it's not consciously maybe it's subconsciously that

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.159
<v Speaker 1>she feels this disconnect with her dad and then he,

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, didn't want her an even Carter, he throws

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:13.439
<v Speaker 1>some low blows like with that, like you know, like,

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 1>are you crying out because your your daddy didn't want you?

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm like, whoa. That's like, oh, yeah, there's some

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>between them and this. Yeah. And it's like when Rufus

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>finds out about that she basically lied and didn't didn't

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>go off to school, he's kind of forcing her hand

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.119
<v Speaker 1>and saying, I'm gonna get a car here, you're gonna go,

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>or I'm gonna tell your mom, And there's a moment

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 1>where she says, He's like, I mean, this isn't your

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 1>best interest since she says this is how you're gonna

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 1>do it by by threatening me or something like that,

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, I think you're more scared of my

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:50.400
<v Speaker 1>mom than I am. I'm like, yeah, which I don't

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 1>think she's that wrong. This is a little terrified of Lily. Yeah,

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>but you know what I was like thinking when you

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:01.640
<v Speaker 1>were just talking about how Lily is still gone, even

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 1>though obviously this wasn't planned because it was her pregnancy

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:05.639
<v Speaker 1>and we didn't know when she was going to have

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the baby, And ironically it works out because of the

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>situation that Serena is has going on, and then it's

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of forced that she has to talk to Rufus

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:17.560
<v Speaker 1>because Lily's not there, and Dan's like, listen, he's the

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>best guy out there, dad out there for dad advice

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>or so it almost like ironically worked out because really,

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't really be talking to Serena she's around, do

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Yeah, totally. It's like she

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>almost needed the lack of the maternal figure here in

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 1>order to like come to face this um instability or

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 1>insecurity that she has going So, yeah, it makes total sense,

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and and it's nice because we also kind of see

0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Rufus like it's almost like the most concentrated version of

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 1>like what he's really facing, which is being with Lily

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>means being a father figure to all these people, you know,

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>even yeah, just wild and like he's got a uh

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like they're they're really adjusting. I mean,

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was the last so where they were

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of adjusting to basically living a different, more lavish lifestyle,

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's like we're still seeing the sort of continuation

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>of that with him and now he has to deal

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 1>with like how does he put down his foot with Serena.

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's interesting to watch him navigating that certainly totally.

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And there was something that like stood out to me

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in this episode with Serena. She's for some reason, just

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel like she's in high school to me, and

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.639
<v Speaker 1>I when I was thinking back about other episodes, she

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.680
<v Speaker 1>just seems Serena just seems I don't know why. I

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's because she's going off on private

0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>jets or dating. You know, there's a ton of people

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>she's dated that are not in high school. The artists,

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the director of the play, Um Gabriel, like, there's a

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that she's dating that are nowhere near

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>their age. She just like there was certain things and

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like, even at school and stuff, she really

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.640
<v Speaker 1>only has Blair as much as like she's in with

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the kids. She doesn't have any kind of cesn't really

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 1>But there was just like a moment where I'm like,

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I just like, you just feel older than all these kids, right, No,

0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>that's true, And I don't know, I mean, I do

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>know why. I just told you, Yeah, she seems a

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:20.199
<v Speaker 1>little older, but she's also kind of lonelier, you know,

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, what I need to think of it

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:25.400
<v Speaker 1>because she's so because she's such a fabulous, glamorous character,

0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 1>but then you know, sometimes she's just like a little lamb,

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and like this is an episode where that happens. Meanwhile,

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 1>back on the n y U campus, they're a similar

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of opposite thing is playing out, which is the

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Blair who really has a very clear idea of what

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>she wants and how she wants it to be, is

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of it's like swipping through her fingers. To me,

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the storyline is, you know, kind of moving and exciting

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>in terms of like the development of that character because

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:56.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like she does what she knows best, which is

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to throw kind of like money and fabulousness at things.

0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So she is like gets Garroda to do the sushi party,

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and I love all the jokes about like the fancy

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>toro and the you know, why did she say to

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the girl, She's like he's up on the toro? Yeah,

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 1>And then like later she kept saying but there was

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, also, I mean it makes me

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 1>want some I was like, oh, I want to yeah.

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's like she kind of throws all the everything

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>she knows how to do at this situation, and then

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you have Georgina, who is much better manipulator and the

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:35.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of in her own right and is able to

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>get her where she's weak, which is like really kind

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>of listening to people. So like the fact that Georgina

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>sets up this watch party for Vanessa's documentary or you know,

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it was, and I mean, like, you know,

0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 1>it just speaks the fact that it's like Blair's kryptonite

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:55.200
<v Speaker 1>or like Blair's weakness is that she doesn't she can't

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 1>relate to everyone, and she's you know, she has that

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of wall in that distance. And so Georgina is

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 1>able to manipulate that by like you know, role playing

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that she's like carrying open, cool person who can be

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the normal college chick. And then meanwhile, she's also like

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>including Blair. She's like, oh God, join us, or I'll

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 1>do this, like I like this. Yeah. The fact that

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>she undercuts the sushi party by like everyone sitting around

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 1>watching Vanessa's what what is what was the movie about?

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't even I don't remember either, because then she

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 1>says they were doing another one about something about someone

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>in jail who had was it a carrot for the

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 1>first time? I think at for Halloween. Oh my god.

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 1>There was something where she was like, then he came out,

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>he got out of prison and he had this for

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the first I was like, what is she talking about?

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Remember anyways, but that was, Yeah, it's fun to see.

0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 1>And then she's like and then she said a total

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 1>los She's like, how can these people think this is cool?

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:54.680
<v Speaker 1>And like how can she be cool? In n y U?

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, who knows? Right, It's like and it's hard

0:30:57.240 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to watch her, you know, kind of flail around there.

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>So of course that you know immediately sparks in her

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 1>this some passion to like take action and turn the

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 1>tables right. But there's something in that where it's like,

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, you you hope that's something that Blair or

0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, that she starts to learn or understand that

0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that it's not all about like money and people being

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 1>enamored with you, because you can throw a sushi party

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and you have yours like lifeing about that anymore? Yeah,

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>like maybe eating a slice of greasy pizza and watching

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a cool movie by someone who has a big heart

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 1>isn't so bad Blair, you know what I mean. But

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>then you have in that puzzle, then you have Georgina,

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>who You're like, You're not quite sure what's up for sleep?

0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, but by the way, the party looked great, Road,

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, the party looks fantastic. I love throw it ahead.

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>What was the restaurant Masa on speed dial? So that

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh yeah. But so then Georgina throws a party,

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 1>oh man, like a roof party kind of. And when

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>this goes on, the good girls gone bad. This song

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 1>is going you see in New York City, you see

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 1>like the sunset setting kind of. You can tell the

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 1>light on everyone's faces looks beautiful. That was one of

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>those moments where I'm like, oh, the DP was loving it,

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>like yes, everyone's just like low to them. It was

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like Vanessa skin looks good. Also. It is another example

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of how Norman is such a great director, because it

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.480
<v Speaker 1>was such subtle things that made that party feel entirely

0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>different from any constance party that they had had in

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>high school. Like you just knew you were downtown n

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 1>y U college, different style, different vibe. It just was

0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>shot that way. Subtle thing. Yeah, that worked. It was

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>so cool and he were like and and and Blair

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:47.719
<v Speaker 1>looked like she came from Mars. I mean she was

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 1>like a little alien walking around there. Yeah. And it

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:53.280
<v Speaker 1>was so well done because you just saw that she

0:32:53.440 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 1>was totally incapable of being chill and just like being

0:32:56.480 --> 0:33:00.200
<v Speaker 1>at this party. Yeah, she was uptight, not through what

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.720
<v Speaker 1>to do, not sure where to turn. And then there

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:05.560
<v Speaker 1>was so much going on at this party. We got

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, Georgina there. Then we have the girl Katie

0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 1>who goes up to Dan in the beginning of this episode.

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I think her character's name was Katie. Yeah, and I

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>remember her Elena in real life. It's a really real life. Yeah.

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>She was just sorry we had we those that those

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:25.720
<v Speaker 1>scenes were long days up on that roof deck because

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>there was just a lot to get done. But Scott

0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>gets nervous for a minute because she says something about

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:33.760
<v Speaker 1>why did you tell Vanessa about this professor? So we

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>like again, I'm like, oh my god, is this the

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>time where we find out that he's lying about everything?

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Out of it? Kind of a clever wife, Yeah, he did.

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 1>And Blair, there's just a lot going on. But um,

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:47.840
<v Speaker 1>there was a moment where Dan goes up to Georgina

0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and says something like, I've been the I've been in

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>her shoes kind of like I've been on the other

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 1>side where I wasn't invited to parties. I'm not going

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:56.160
<v Speaker 1>to do that. And that's what I like about Dan

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and Vanessa like comes up a couple of times in

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 1>this episode where it's like she's like, you know what,

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 1>we want to start fresh, and so does Georgina. Let's

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>give her a shot. And here Dan sticking up for Blair.

0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.239
<v Speaker 1>A season ago. You would have never thought that would

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 1>come out of Dan's mouth. I like that they're both

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:12.920
<v Speaker 1>willing and open to do that for people that were

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 1>both really shitty to them. So for them to like

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:19.800
<v Speaker 1>swallow their pride be open to like being nice and

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.879
<v Speaker 1>and moving forward and starting fresh, I think that's rad.

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that's like the maturity that's dope. I like that. Yeah, totally.

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:29.879
<v Speaker 1>I love that too. Yeah. And it's also like their

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:32.000
<v Speaker 1>friends what connects them to as friends. It's like you

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:34.760
<v Speaker 1>get to see what you know, why they're friends, right, yeah,

0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 1>but lo and behold, all of a sudden, then we're

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's sticking up for Blair. And then Blair

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 1>invites the Christian camp back Christian camp that Georgina was

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.319
<v Speaker 1>at to the roof and says that she's trying to

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 1>convert the freshman. She's like, this is a conversion party.

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, and when they come in and singing the

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>songs and so it was this was the last thing. Yeah,

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 1>was it the asked thing you expected? Yeah, and I

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:03.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't see it coming. I mean, the only thing about

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 1>that that makes sense is Blair planning it right, and

0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:09.359
<v Speaker 1>its Yeah, it shows what strong adversaries they are because

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:11.239
<v Speaker 1>they're like really on the level with each other. Because

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like Georgina was besting her, but then she came out

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 1>with something surprising and was like watch this Georgina and

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:19.799
<v Speaker 1>like smacked her with the cringe, you know, and it's

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 1>like so um smacked her with the like laughing about it,

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:27.440
<v Speaker 1>because I mean it was funny and and awful at

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the same time. And you know, and it's also it's

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>like both of them using the other ones weaknesses to

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:36.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of bite them. But so it's like the fact

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that Georgina went off into that world and used it

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:42.880
<v Speaker 1>or didn't or was honest about it, who knows. And

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:45.400
<v Speaker 1>then the kind of dropped those you know, her Christian

0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:47.720
<v Speaker 1>camp high and dry and came back to the city.

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, now she has to kind of face

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:53.799
<v Speaker 1>that consequence because now here they come back and they're like,

0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>we missed you, we love you, come back right. It

0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 1>was such a crazy scene, but it funny and also

0:36:01.080 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>really got right to the point. And then you see

0:36:03.760 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Dan all of a sudden having this fantastic hero moment

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 1>where he gets to save the day get on stage. Well,

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, Vanessa says to him, just because someone has

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 1>to be on top doesn't mean it has to be Blair,

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>and he's right, ding ing ing ing ding. Oh yeah,

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that goes and takes the mic and he gets up there.

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:22.160
<v Speaker 1>He's basically just calls Blair out. I can't remember exactly what.

0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>He basically explains that she she went ahead and called

0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 1>out these people from from Georgina's past to embarrass her

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, would you rather go and party

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 1>with that person or eat pizza and drink beer with us?

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's like such a great moment. And then poor Blair,

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:39.200
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time she kind of gets her

0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 1>medy and has to take her medici. Yeah, it's it's

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and if Dan says something up there, he says something

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:47.839
<v Speaker 1>like we all have a past. This is from the past,

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:50.399
<v Speaker 1>which I there's something in this episode where they keep

0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>bringing that up, like start fresh in the past. And

0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I like that because I really do think when you

0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:57.600
<v Speaker 1>start a new chapter in your life, whatever that thing

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 1>is is, it is a new start. It's something knew.

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:01.799
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be new people in your life that

0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna meet. There's gonna be certain things that you

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 1>took from your last chapter that, Hey, I didn't really

0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 1>like when people made me feel like this, I'm gonna

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 1>stay away from those types of people. Or I didn't

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 1>like how I felt when I was like this, so

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to change that about me. So I like

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that they were dropping little things like that. It's like

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:17.919
<v Speaker 1>everyone has a past and it's true, and to hold

0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:20.239
<v Speaker 1>that against someone for their past, especially if they're trying

0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to change, Not that I think Georgina is trying to change, right,

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know what who knows, I don't know

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>where it's going, but right, And your point is so

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:30.399
<v Speaker 1>well taken, because like there are other shows that kind

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:32.719
<v Speaker 1>of were teene shows or whatever, and I'm thinking of

0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:34.640
<v Speaker 1>like Stay By the bell or something you know, back

0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in the day. But you know, there there was always

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a tendency for any show that was kind of secured

0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:43.520
<v Speaker 1>at younger people to teach a lesson you know, her episode.

0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And in this show, there are themes that kind of

0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:48.719
<v Speaker 1>recur because they're sort of organic to the characters and

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of truthful, and we can get that feeling after

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 1>watching this that we kind of take something away, but

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it's never like wrapped up with a tidy bow. So

0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 1>it's like kind of what I think the Gossip Girl

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 1>writers did well, which was they talked about real issues

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and it was relatable. But they didn't you know, lecture

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 1>us or or or make a thesis every episode and

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:12.640
<v Speaker 1>be like, well, and that's why friendship is important. You know.

0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's not it was never quite resolved, which

0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:30.319
<v Speaker 1>was fun. I like that. One thing I do want

0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:33.360
<v Speaker 1>to talk about is we've we got to remember the

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Bree character coming in. They were kind of light in

0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.040
<v Speaker 1>this episode because I do think there's so much that's

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>probably about to go down with them. But Bree and

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Nate decided to go to her family's apartment and she

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.960
<v Speaker 1>said something, you and me this apartment let's get sick

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of each other. Oh that's really cute. I know. I

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, that's cute. She's like, hand me your pants.

0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to go through your wallet. Okay, by the way,

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:03.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the gangs her move. Yeah, let's just say, like

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, like there could be things that like

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 1>would could turn someone off like totally. But yeah, I

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>mean there's like a list of things I could say

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:15.920
<v Speaker 1>bold with him, right, No, I know she is. And

0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:18.719
<v Speaker 1>even like even Nate's reaction was a little bit like,

0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:21.200
<v Speaker 1>oh well, it's just like normal stuff. And I'm like,

0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:25.279
<v Speaker 1>oh God, like Blair, like, is there a note from

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 1>like Jenny, like what's going on? Is there still money

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:34.480
<v Speaker 1>from the cougar that you had the affair with? It's

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 1>and then it's the it's his boarding pass that he

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:42.920
<v Speaker 1>met her on, which is so cute Nate. And it's

0:39:42.960 --> 0:39:45.560
<v Speaker 1>funny because she says, are you still wearing the same

0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 1>pants or whatever is you were that day? And I

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, if it was in my life, it would

0:39:50.400 --> 0:39:53.480
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh yeah, last time my head. But I

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh no, of course, because I thought, oh

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:57.719
<v Speaker 1>she caught him. He did he double He wore his

0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:01.440
<v Speaker 1>pants more than once. But no, it was truly a

0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:03.960
<v Speaker 1>sweet moment and I saved that boarding. It was cute.

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I was really cute. Yeah, I like them together. And

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:10.560
<v Speaker 1>how like effortless and cute is she she? First, she's stunning. Yeah,

0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>she's lovely, and she has like I mean, they have

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:14.919
<v Speaker 1>like a good chemistry and you know, but she's also

0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:17.880
<v Speaker 1>like she's playing one of these characters that could be

0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:20.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of two dimensional, but she's already really lovable and

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you know, you're a rich kid of

0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:27.800
<v Speaker 1>this Buckley family or whatever, but in fact, she's totally

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:31.320
<v Speaker 1>an interesting, um fleshed out human beings. She's like already

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.359
<v Speaker 1>one of the characters you want to know more about. Yeah,

0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and you just even like their chemistry and vibe on it.

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's how it has to be. You have to

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:40.799
<v Speaker 1>cast someone who's going to come in, bring their a game,

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:44.040
<v Speaker 1>do it make it feel you know, right, And but yeah,

0:40:44.080 --> 0:40:47.920
<v Speaker 1>their whole thing is just like cute. Yeah, they're very

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Chasa got to work with really beautiful women, a lot

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:59.239
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of fantastic stars, sexy, hot, all different ages, like,

0:40:59.400 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 1>all different looks, right, because Nate is one of the

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:05.320
<v Speaker 1>characters that never gets like tied down for a really

0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:08.080
<v Speaker 1>long the long run. He yeah, he goes on a

0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of adventures, if you will. It like like Chuck

0:41:12.000 --> 0:41:14.960
<v Speaker 1>hooks up with a lot of ladies, but they're like

0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of like they come and go other than Blair really,

0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, there's never really yeah, and

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:25.439
<v Speaker 1>they're all beautiful and stunning and hot, don't get me wrong,

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:29.400
<v Speaker 1>But Nate really has like these like little like moments

0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of women. Think you know, they're all

0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>these like meeting people on planes and having affairs in

0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the Hampton's. It's like, Okay, Nate, that's the guy. Yeah,

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:43.640
<v Speaker 1>so that's going on. And she's on a phone call

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:46.600
<v Speaker 1>with her mom and here's like again, how they set

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:48.600
<v Speaker 1>this up. I'm like, oh god, she's gonna say something

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:50.879
<v Speaker 1>where where Nate's gonna hear it and be turned away

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:55.480
<v Speaker 1>or turned off. And really they threw me. It was yeah,

0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:57.520
<v Speaker 1>but mom, I really like him, oh you know. And

0:41:57.520 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>then her mom hangs up on her and it comes

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 1>there to comfort her and there's just something I'm really

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:05.560
<v Speaker 1>liking them right now together and they're really going after

0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:08.920
<v Speaker 1>their feelings because being in their shoes, I could imagine

0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:12.720
<v Speaker 1>would be very difficult when it's politics and different families

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and different sides. Imagine how it is when it's politics

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and different sides in your own family when you have

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:18.759
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with politics, right right, and when your

0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:22.200
<v Speaker 1>family is then your family and is I mean that's like, yeah,

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that's got to be a difficult thing of you know

0:42:25.200 --> 0:42:27.279
<v Speaker 1>how to handle it. It sort of relates to what

0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:29.839
<v Speaker 1>you were saying earlier, Serena, kind of when not wanting

0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:32.759
<v Speaker 1>to disappoint Lily. And there's another layer here too, which

0:42:32.800 --> 0:42:34.920
<v Speaker 1>is that do you want to disappoint your own family

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.439
<v Speaker 1>because you're into somebody and you want to like, where

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.680
<v Speaker 1>do you follow your heart versus where are you a

0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:44.360
<v Speaker 1>loyal family member? Kid comes to play in different ways

0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:47.879
<v Speaker 1>here because for them, what they're doing has has consequences. Yeah,

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 1>totally little Romeo and Juliet situation, less dramatic ending, but

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:01.040
<v Speaker 1>although I don't remember exactly what happens, so we'll find out.

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, I gotta watch that movie again. So that's happening.

0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:08.879
<v Speaker 1>And then Rufus and Serena do they figure it out? Yeah,

0:43:08.920 --> 0:43:12.120
<v Speaker 1>they have an apology. She goes to the loft and

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:14.360
<v Speaker 1>he finds her there, and so I think it's touching

0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to him that she finds it, that it's a safe

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:18.000
<v Speaker 1>space for her, or that she feels a part of

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the family to go to the loft. So I think

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:23.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the start of the sort of apology, mutual apology.

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And it seems like, you know, he wants to sort

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 1>of help her, you know, figure things out. So it's

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 1>like she has allies, she has people who want to

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:33.719
<v Speaker 1>help her to sort of chart her path, but she

0:43:33.760 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 1>has to let him in, right. I wonder if what's

0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:40.080
<v Speaker 1>going to happen is she's gonna get close with Rufus,

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>rely on him for you know, some father figure tips

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and comfort, and then her father is going to come

0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in and probably pull some ship that's probably not great

0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:52.480
<v Speaker 1>for Serena. Something's gonna go down, and she's going to

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:54.440
<v Speaker 1>choose her dad, who had nothing to do with her.

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:58.360
<v Speaker 1>We're getting a stable father figure, right, because since Rufus

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:00.759
<v Speaker 1>is being established, that makes sense. It's setting us up

0:44:00.760 --> 0:44:05.319
<v Speaker 1>for some kind of complications. Again, how the irony of

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Kelly having her baby. It doesn't feel like sometimes I

0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:11.520
<v Speaker 1>think when someone's out for pregnancy, you can kind of

0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:13.879
<v Speaker 1>feel like, oh, they had to shift this, or do this,

0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 1>or do that, like for a reason, I don't feel

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:18.640
<v Speaker 1>like that, Like I forgot. I had to look it up.

0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, why isn't really in this episode? Oh? Because

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:23.840
<v Speaker 1>she had a baby. But it just feels like organic, right,

0:44:23.920 --> 0:44:26.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, the storyline is so deeply embracing it. I mean,

0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how what their timeline was like when

0:44:29.400 --> 0:44:31.440
<v Speaker 1>they were writing, you know, how far ahead they were

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:36.719
<v Speaker 1>conceiving of plotlines, but certainly having her absence here is

0:44:36.760 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 1>allowing for a lot of character development with Serena and

0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Rufus and everyone. So it's like, you're right, it's like really, um,

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it feels organic and truthful and just a bit yeah yeah,

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:53.479
<v Speaker 1>yeah it fits. But she's supposed to be with CC,

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:56.239
<v Speaker 1>right right? And I kind of like that because because

0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:58.640
<v Speaker 1>like when we last saw them together, they were so

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:01.200
<v Speaker 1>troubled and then they kind of had that lovely moment.

0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:03.880
<v Speaker 1>So then the idea that CC is sick and Lily

0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of gave up everything to be with her is

0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 1>actually sweet too, Like I feel like that's works too, right, No,

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:12.920
<v Speaker 1>it does? It all works? Yeah, And then in this

0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:16.960
<v Speaker 1>episode we have this um idea that Carter is still around,

0:45:17.080 --> 0:45:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and Serena kind of uses him to just thinking about Carter.

0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Serena kind of employs Carter to help embarrass Chuck in

0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:26.479
<v Speaker 1>this with his business partners, and then Carter, I guess,

0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>realizes that he's been used and they have a little

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:31.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of a blow up and then they resolve it.

0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:35.000
<v Speaker 1>She says something interesting to me. She's like, you know,

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you're there with me all summer. You are the only

0:45:37.040 --> 0:45:38.839
<v Speaker 1>one that knows really what I was going through with

0:45:38.960 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole situation with her father, and she can trust him.

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, she says trust, which I'm like, the

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:45.680
<v Speaker 1>whole thing that you're telling your friends is that he's

0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>like this psycho right right right? So yeah, but do

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:52.719
<v Speaker 1>you kind of feel like that they're going to still

0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:54.279
<v Speaker 1>stay together? And he kind of says, you have to

0:45:54.280 --> 0:45:57.000
<v Speaker 1>find someone else. Basically they had a kiss and that

0:45:57.480 --> 0:45:59.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of makeup scene where they kind of come clean.

0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:02.600
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, I don't know where that's going.

0:46:03.000 --> 0:46:06.359
<v Speaker 1>It's like it keeps some sort of creeping out. Yeah,

0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and you don't know with them too.

0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:13.400
<v Speaker 1>It's also like that conundrum in life where sometimes someone's

0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:16.680
<v Speaker 1>there in the right time and place and you kind

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of need that relationship to help you through something, but

0:46:20.520 --> 0:46:23.160
<v Speaker 1>then would it stand on its own merits? I kind

0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:26.680
<v Speaker 1>of fill certain voids, So that's kind of a curiosity

0:46:26.680 --> 0:46:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of that. But then we have m Blair arrives to

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Chucks and have him and you're just like, oh, she

0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:36.360
<v Speaker 1>like climbs in the little ben. She's like, maybe you

0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:41.040
<v Speaker 1>were right about the dorms. It was like Blair, He's like,

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 1>sound asleep. How cute was it when she got in

0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:46.120
<v Speaker 1>bed with him? Not it was very sweet. I'm like,

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Shock and Blair, you're so cute. They're so cute. And

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 1>also it's that in terms of people waking up in

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the morning the best reveals at the end of the episode,

0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:56.480
<v Speaker 1>which I just like got such a kick out of,

0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's like I saw it coming a bit, but

0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:01.680
<v Speaker 1>oh you did a little once it was once the

0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:05.200
<v Speaker 1>shot was established I saw. I was like, oh see,

0:47:05.239 --> 0:47:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't and I didn't feel like there was any

0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:09.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of like I think when Dan got up and

0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:13.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuck up for Georgina, when Blair pulled the

0:47:13.400 --> 0:47:15.920
<v Speaker 1>whole thing on the roof deck party, I kind of

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:18.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't see, like, oh, I thought it was kind of

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:22.080
<v Speaker 1>like Vanessa kind of made something trigger in his head right,

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have to be that. It doesn't I just

0:47:24.680 --> 0:47:26.760
<v Speaker 1>figured he was like, okay, it doesn't have to be nasty,

0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Like Georgina really was trying here. And then Scott shows

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 1>up at the bookstore telling Vanessa here's like a list

0:47:33.800 --> 0:47:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of you know, the professors, again proving himself. Now I'm like, wow,

0:47:37.200 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 1>he's really going for it. Here's a list of professors,

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:45.480
<v Speaker 1>was full on details grades, and like I was like, okay, Scott, Yeah,

0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a little scared. And she's like, should I call

0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Dan to see if he wants to? I don't know

0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:51.919
<v Speaker 1>what they were gonna do, talk about all the epic nous,

0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:54.160
<v Speaker 1>she says, because I'm like an epic nous, Vanessa, that

0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:59.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't okay, all the epicness from last night. And he's like, nah,

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm hungover whatever he's doing. And then it cuts to him,

0:48:02.000 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and he well because the fact that it cuts to

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:06.640
<v Speaker 1>him and he's like still on the roof deck in

0:48:06.680 --> 0:48:09.200
<v Speaker 1>this morning, and he's like and then the but then

0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:11.640
<v Speaker 1>when the way he sits up, I was like, oh,

0:48:11.680 --> 0:48:14.920
<v Speaker 1>he's got he's got somebody in his lap. I just

0:48:14.960 --> 0:48:16.560
<v Speaker 1>like and then I was like, it's gotta be Georgina.

0:48:16.640 --> 0:48:18.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's like, that's what I meant when I said

0:48:18.200 --> 0:48:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I stopped coming, but only right then in that second,

0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:23.880
<v Speaker 1>right before they panned down reveal her. Um, I still

0:48:24.000 --> 0:48:26.279
<v Speaker 1>was like what it was wild? And then she's just

0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:29.640
<v Speaker 1>like laying on his chest and it's and then they yeah,

0:48:29.719 --> 0:48:32.879
<v Speaker 1>they kissed. But it was a very fun kind of

0:48:34.040 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Gossip Girl ending to a very um gossip Girl episode.

0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:39.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was like this episode had all the

0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:44.600
<v Speaker 1>good you know, yeah, Um, I just had a question.

0:48:44.840 --> 0:48:48.600
<v Speaker 1>So Chuck Steel is like dead, like it can't happen,

0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I think Serena ruined it, right, I believe. So

0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of irritated about that. You know, me too,

0:48:54.160 --> 0:48:55.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you know, I forgot to mention this

0:48:55.719 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 1>when we were talking about that. There was one small

0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:01.839
<v Speaker 1>thing that reminded me about how this show is now

0:49:02.320 --> 0:49:05.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of a piece of history because when they're talking

0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:08.480
<v Speaker 1>about the speakeasy and he's showing Serena the plans she

0:49:08.719 --> 0:49:11.200
<v Speaker 1>they talked about how the last time there was a

0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:15.760
<v Speaker 1>market crash was like back in the days of prohibition. Basically,

0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:17.279
<v Speaker 1>they say that back in the day when there was

0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a market crash, it was you know, prohibition was a

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:22.400
<v Speaker 1>different time and the speakeasies reminiscent of that era. And

0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:25.400
<v Speaker 1>then because this was like around two thousand eight, that

0:49:25.480 --> 0:49:27.839
<v Speaker 1>when this episode was shot, and that's when we had

0:49:27.880 --> 0:49:32.279
<v Speaker 1>the huge market crash and the whole mortgage bubble and

0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 1>everything burst and it was like tremendous downfall. Find all

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the financial institutions were crumbling. So this like Glamor and

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Wealth of the Upper east Side and Gossip Girl, like

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:46.400
<v Speaker 1>they had to address that as in the writer's room

0:49:46.440 --> 0:49:49.120
<v Speaker 1>because it was like, so, uh, that was the world

0:49:49.200 --> 0:49:50.640
<v Speaker 1>we lived in at the time. So it was funny

0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:53.880
<v Speaker 1>because I forgot about that context and so seeing that

0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 1>little moment where you remember like, oh, this is a

0:49:56.640 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 1>show that happened in its time, as we know, with

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the self owns in the technology, but also with what

0:50:02.520 --> 0:50:04.359
<v Speaker 1>was happening in the world. So that was one little

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:08.399
<v Speaker 1>funny moment for me. Yeah I noticed, Yeah I didn't.

0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.960
<v Speaker 1>It was by very quickly, but I was like, oh, yeah,

0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:14.759
<v Speaker 1>it was when the world, you know, it was exploding. Um,

0:50:15.800 --> 0:50:18.799
<v Speaker 1>absolutely wild. There was another thing that I liked, and

0:50:18.840 --> 0:50:21.719
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember where where the line was. Somebody said, oh,

0:50:21.760 --> 0:50:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it was Georgina. I guess she said I got my

0:50:23.640 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 1>meds right. Finally was Georgina, and it was potentially the

0:50:28.560 --> 0:50:32.680
<v Speaker 1>best Vanessa face I've ever seen, Like it has to

0:50:32.719 --> 0:50:35.720
<v Speaker 1>be like a GIF out there somewhere, because like Vanessa's face.

0:50:38.640 --> 0:50:40.919
<v Speaker 1>It was just like the reaction of just like that

0:50:41.239 --> 0:50:45.799
<v Speaker 1>side I like this girl, this world. Yeah, yeah, it

0:50:45.840 --> 0:50:49.440
<v Speaker 1>was so good. You know where that was? That was

0:50:49.480 --> 0:50:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in the bookstore because it was something she kind of

0:50:51.640 --> 0:50:53.560
<v Speaker 1>said because she kind of keeps walking away and then

0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:56.239
<v Speaker 1>she comes back Georgina and she's like, I mean I

0:50:56.280 --> 0:50:58.360
<v Speaker 1>did this, this and this, but I don't remember what

0:50:58.440 --> 0:51:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Vanessa did. But you know else I realized in this episode,

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:05.440
<v Speaker 1>just the total change of style of Carter basin car

0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.319
<v Speaker 1>squeezing and season in the beginning of season two or

0:51:08.440 --> 0:51:12.880
<v Speaker 1>season one, maybe is wearing like huge, really cute looking

0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:15.400
<v Speaker 1>like sweaters. I remember when Sebastian was on. I think

0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:17.839
<v Speaker 1>he was like maybe like a rug looking thing. I'm like, god,

0:51:17.960 --> 0:51:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was cute. But now he's in full

0:51:20.239 --> 0:51:25.200
<v Speaker 1>blown suits looking very DApp like great, but he is

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:28.719
<v Speaker 1>not wearing a rug or No, he's he's not like

0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:35.680
<v Speaker 1>chic fluffy sweater. No, that's true, that's really true. Yeah,

0:51:35.719 --> 0:51:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I thought that it was fun to see, um where

0:51:38.920 --> 0:51:41.920
<v Speaker 1>these characters begin this episode and then end this episode,

0:51:42.160 --> 0:51:44.200
<v Speaker 1>so you have like all the hope, all the hope

0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:46.799
<v Speaker 1>for poor Blair and then it's crushed and then you

0:51:46.840 --> 0:51:48.680
<v Speaker 1>have all of this uh you know, you don't even

0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:50.920
<v Speaker 1>know Georgina is around, and by the end she's cuddling

0:51:51.000 --> 0:51:52.920
<v Speaker 1>up on Dance. So this episode really takes us a

0:51:53.520 --> 0:51:58.600
<v Speaker 1>good long distance. And I noticed Michelle Michelle Trachtonburg is

0:51:58.640 --> 0:52:02.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be the new season of two of the

0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:05.440
<v Speaker 1>New Gossip Girl. So I saw some pictures on social

0:52:05.480 --> 0:52:08.799
<v Speaker 1>media and she looks fantastic and like so conniving. So

0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I can't wait to see the return,

0:52:11.480 --> 0:52:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the return of the return of Georgina. So yeah, I'm

0:52:15.200 --> 0:52:18.920
<v Speaker 1>excited to see that. Well, that wraps up the freshman

0:52:19.239 --> 0:52:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the freshman. Can you imagine what what were the sophomores,

0:52:22.440 --> 0:52:24.560
<v Speaker 1>juniors and seniors of Gossip Girl doing? If this is

0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:29.240
<v Speaker 1>what the fresh memory do? I know, no, imagine Poppy

0:52:29.280 --> 0:52:32.040
<v Speaker 1>pops up Poppies not in college either though, right I

0:52:32.040 --> 0:52:34.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know where's Poppy Ariel. It would fun be fun

0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to have like one little capsule episode or spinoff episode

0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that just tracked all of the characters who have like

0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:43.359
<v Speaker 1>sort of disappeared from Gossip Girl, you know, and see

0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:46.600
<v Speaker 1>what they're up to now, and they're totally you know.

0:52:47.440 --> 0:52:51.280
<v Speaker 1>But also question where when is Nate not starting school?

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:54.480
<v Speaker 1>He referenced it in the beginning that I can't remember

0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:56.800
<v Speaker 1>he said he said something about his internship, but that

0:52:56.920 --> 0:52:59.640
<v Speaker 1>he gave up and that he was doing a business

0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:03.120
<v Speaker 1>thing instead. I think we'll find out which direction here

0:53:03.160 --> 0:53:09.759
<v Speaker 1>we'll find out. Yes, um, I love this Gossip Girl quote.

0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:11.840
<v Speaker 1>You want to do it? Um, sure, I'll do it.

0:53:11.920 --> 0:53:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here. Yeah, I think it's a good one.

0:53:13.760 --> 0:53:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Apparently higher education doesn't make for smarter decisions, So take

0:53:18.280 --> 0:53:21.920
<v Speaker 1>out your notebooks and sharpen your pencils. Kids, Gossip Girls

0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:27.000
<v Speaker 1>going to college and this class has a lot to learn. Wow,

0:53:31.360 --> 0:53:35.160
