What's the episode titled Dan Dave Florette. Yes, 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.839 I feel in Dan Florette. Um. I think based on 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.920 a movie, right, based on the movie Jean de Florette. Yeah, 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:50.440 so it's a very exciting European titled episode first, very European. Um. 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.160 I always really would love and I guess I still 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.040 could and probably should because it's something that I have 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.360 thought about a lot. Learning French. I just think it's 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.040 such a beautiful language. It's definitely the most romantus. I 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:08.880 also feel like it's so difficult, but yeah, it's one 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.039 of those languages that I think when you're learning it, 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.880 you have to make a lot of faces, you have 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.880 to do a lot of like mouth faces, and you know, 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.839 you have to just go all all the way all 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.759 in all. Yes, Yeah, but yeah, this I I don't 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.360 know that Filmotte. I'm not familiar. I don't either, and 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.240 I don't exactly understand, you know how that kind of 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.920 combines with the themes of this episode. But I'm sure 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.959 someone out there listening to us does, so maybe they 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.280 can let us know. Yeah, let us know. I don't 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.720 feel like sometimes the titles have to match what's going 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.160 on or like right, be parallel, what what what's going 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.520 on in the episode? I think it's just they take titles. 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.920 So maybe it has something to do with dan Is 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.280 in the title of the movie because he's met a 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:58.000 movie star and it's like starting up potential. That's maybe 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.920 something along those lines. Okay, so that's our episode. But 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.880 before we get started, to your New York. You're not 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.840 sweating your face off anymore. It's cold, freezing now. Now 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.720 it's taken the turn. So now it's um you know. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.639 Now it's that kind of thing where I just had 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.760 a Starbucks, you know, peppermint latte because I was like, 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.640 had to get a holiday latte. So that's the weather 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.480 we have now. Yeah, we've taken the turn that time. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.640 But don't you love that? It's like holidays are near. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.680 Get to eat all these like comforting foods and cookies, 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.800 and like, oh, I love this time of year so much. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.760 I do like the romance of the I like the 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.119 romance of the season certainly. So it's like it has 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.160 that vibe in my neighborhood because I live in Brooklyn, 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.920 So around my neighborhood there are a lot of like 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.760 brown stones and people have the wood burning fireplaces so 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.960 during the time, you can smell that beautiful smell and 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.200 you know, it just feels like a movie. So absolutely, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.919 you know, there's something about New York with all of that. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.720 Like there's an episode we did on the podcast and 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.360 I'm like, if you've never made out with someone in 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.799 New York City, like grab them in the summer, it 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.919 doesn't matter if it's hot or not, like walk the 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.839 street holding hands and just make out New York City, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.480 And it's the same for the winter, like oh yeah, 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.359 where you're cute scarves, hold hands, goes ice skating. I 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.640 don't know that it's just such a romantic city. No 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.360 matter what. It could be hot and sweaty and cold 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.880 and frigid, and you're just like there's still like this 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.400 romance in the air, and it still feels like a 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.640 movie always. Oh yeah, especially yeah, especially when there's a 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.919 little bit of holiday decor and you know, and it's 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.400 also like that you said, you know, making out with 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.760 somebody in the street, it's like kissing someone and there's 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.560 little snow flakes in your eyelashes. Yeah, like it definitely 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:44.000 is exciting. Yeah, absolutely, there's also something if we're being honest, 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.840 like I do remember when it would be like snowing 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.440 and that first snowfalls so beautiful and everything white, and 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.480 then like later that afternoon or evening snow it's like 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.080 dark and it's just you're a mess. But it's also like, 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.440 you know what, it's okay because I'm in New York City. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.200 It's like part of part of the charm. In a 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.280 weird it's great when we have a big snowfall and 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.760 then it melts and then it reveals all of the traditions. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.720 But you know it's the that's the trade off. You know. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.360 It's like gritty and romantic at the same time. Yeah, 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.520 we'll take it. Um. So here's where we left off. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.440 There was a lot of guest stars in here in 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:22.359 this episode that I didn't yeah, like Tyra Banks. I 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.440 didn't remember that at all. I didn't remember that Tyra 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.400 Banks was on the show. And it was like when 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.240 I saw her, I was like, what, um, yeah, what 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.320 a fun I guess you could call it a cameo. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:37.080 I mean it's like a one episode kind of special surprise. Yeah. Yeah, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.919 and then Georgina Chapman, who is the designer from Marquesa, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.159 which I love that brand, and I love Georgina. She's amazing. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.920 She's dressed me during the show and after the show 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.640 for many many events and premiers and stuff. She's just 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.240 awesome and lovely, beautiful. And then Tory Birch, a great designer, 0:04:55.680 --> 0:05:01.320 Hilary Duff who plays Vanessa's roommate, um Casey, a lovely actress, Diana. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.599 It's just there was a ton of guest stars. It 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:08.359 was really a packed episode, fun of people. Hey, it 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.440 really is, and it's exciting too because it has that 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.279 Hollywood comes to n y U kind of you know 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.960 the way maybe premiere, you know, because it's now that 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.520 I'm rewatching the show, I'm realizing, you know how much 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.720 every almost every episode has that grand event, you know, 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.040 that connecting, you know, that thing where everything goes down. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.760 So the idea that this was the premiere, the premiere, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.960 the one, Yeah, I was like thinking about, like when 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:40.880 having someone like an Olivia Burke, Hillary Duff's character, I mean, 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.800 that's that would have to be a very tricky and 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.719 interesting and kind of like totally shocking kind of moment 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.479 to all of a sudden your roommates, Like, you know, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.520 I'm guessing it would kind of be like a Christian Stewart, 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.520 lovely Christian Stewart. So I feel like this is what 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.480 Olivia Burke is supposed to be at the height of, Yes, 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.080 the height of all the vampire stuff. But you know, 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.240 I also think I was remembering when we shot Gossip Girl. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.039 The Vampire Diaries I believe was on c W also, 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.920 and that was a very popular show too, so you 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.279 feel like vampires were all around us at that time. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.000 So yeah, it makes sense that uh, this character Vampire Diaries, 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.960 True Blood, Twilight. You know, it's one of those things 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.640 in Hollywood when something hits and works, everyone tries to 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.560 do it on everything. But but I just felt like 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.680 there was so many I'm like, wow, they're really working. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.960 These people love these vampires, like oh yeah, or wherever 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.080 they are, whatever it is, people are loving it. It's huge. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.839 And and the fact that so Olivia is the star 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.240 of one of those I guess it's a movie or 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.320 a TV show and she But you know what I 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.719 else I thought was so cool was that Olivia Burke 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.279 as a name of if You're if You're inventing the 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.680 name of a movie star. It's such a good name 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.280 because it made me think, is there really an Olivia Burke? 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.159 And I was like, no, well it's it's just well suited. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.839 What was so funny about about this, Like I knew 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.960 Hillary before she came on, so when we found out 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.680 who was playing her, I was like super pumped. And 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.560 she seems you know, I remember her being on set 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.800 because you know, she has her kind of a lengthy storyline, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.560 and so I remember her being around and she was 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.880 really sweet and and fun to hang out within the 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:12.600 hair and makeup room and all that stuff. I didn't 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.440 have a lot of overlap with her on screen, but 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:20.000 on camera it's like she's, you know, so charismatic and 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.800 likable as this character, and you just want so badly 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.640 for her to have, you know, this college moment that 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.000 she wants to have, and so I really just experience 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.280 I forgot. I just forgot how you know, how good 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.400 she is in this role and how magnetic she isn't charming. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.920 So it was nice to um to see her get introduced. Um, So, 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.360 what what happened last episode? So we were in okay, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.000 So we left off where yeah, okay, things escalate as 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.920 Georgina and Bree bow out of the action, while Scott 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.600 revealed to be the son of Rufus and Lily Blair's 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.280 partnership with Chuck is once again leading into a clash 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.840 of wills and trust against Serena and Carter. Well, Chuck's 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:03.239 ambitions to build his own business Bear Fruit, can Serena 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.520 bridge her emotional gap with Carter. There's just you know, 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.440 many things that I'm yeah, I need to know what 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.000 goes down now that we're revisiting that that where we were, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.600 where we left off. It's like a lot of those 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.720 stories that were developing kind of take a little hiatus 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.920 in this episode here. So it's like the Empire Hotel 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.720 and Carter and all these things are kind of taking 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.840 a back seat here. We all we get introduced to 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.400 the new characters and new ideas, which you know that 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:36.160 we have plenty of episodes ahead in order to storylines. 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.440 So in this episode, it's the first day at school 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.640 at Constance Billard, which is nice because we get to 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.959 kind of cop back into our high school mode. It's 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.480 also time for Jenny to take her rightful place as 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.880 the new Queen be Unfortunately for Jenny Blair is more 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.160 than happy to interview to intervene when news reaches her 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.160 that she may be needed back at Constance. Meanwhile, this 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.280 Lily returns. So had Kelly returns from her It's ernity 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.000 leaven Lily returns to New York City. Um, she returns 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.880 home to Rufus and her family to find that things 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.360 are definitely not as she left them. Plus, of course, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.040 the famous movie actress Olivia Burke and rolls and y 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.400 you in hopes of having a somewhat normal college experience, 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.440 and is assigned to be Vanessa's roommate. Ursula, an actress 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.400 co starring in Olivia's movie, befriends Serena when she's hired 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.120 as a publicist for an upcoming premiere. So, yeah, we 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.960 really get a lot of new stuff here. Yeah, they're 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.320 introducing a lot of relationships, jobs, roommates, things that you 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.960 know are going to have big arcs and big moments 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.480 here in in season three. Okay, so here, So the 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.400 episode opens, we're on the streets of New York and 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.480 we meet Olivia, but don't really meet Olivia. She says 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.080 her name is Kate. She's got this cute little hat 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.760 on very low key. I do feel like a part 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.400 of this kind of is like a part of what 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.559 Hillary's life probably was, because she was she hit really 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.880 big in the entertainment and all over the world with 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.480 um Lizzie McGuire and she was just this huge mega star, 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.080 and so I feel like that's part of it. Yeah, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.959 And it's like if your career is so big and 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.960 you're sort of still sort of forming your identity and like, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.800 you know, growing up and coming into your own, it's 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.319 like that that battle, which is really nicely portrayed in 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.040 this episode of of you know, having to fulfill your 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.679 professional obligations, but at the same time just kind of 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.800 live and be who you are and find yourself and 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.600 do college and be normal and have friends and yeah, 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.640 and I feel like that's gotta be tough, because it's 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.560 like once your if your career takes off and it 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.120 hits on something like that, because once you are known 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.360 and that famous, you're also probably a little bit like 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.679 worried and and have your walls up of who's really 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.960 your friends or who's trying to get information or try 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.320 to be your friend for other reasons. So it's like 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.560 it's hard to kind of let that down and be normal. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.160 I would think for someone like on that level, it 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.520 makes sense that she jumps on this opportunity when Dan 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.440 visibly doesn't know she is, and she's able to just 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.680 be herself with him, and you can see how, you know, 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.880 what a gift that is for her. He's not well 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.400 versed in the vampire movie TV world. He doesn't know 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.319 who she is. I guess I think we have the 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.800 scene where Nate is explaining to him, you know that 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.160 she's coming to n y U. So when he Caesar, 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.880 he doesn't have an inkling and you know, of course 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.440 there's always the complication looking in retrospect, we know that 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.680 in the end of the series, Dana's gossip Girl, and 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.800 so Gossip Girl seems to know about Olivia, but Dan doesn't. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.480 But one of those does not. But it's one of 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.480 those little, uh, you know, suspensions of disbelief that we 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.719 have to um put into play as we look at 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:45.040 the Gossip Girl in its linear progression. Yeah, and I 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.240 also thought it was like I laughed, I was kind 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.440 of laughing how Vanessa kind of knew and trips. I 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.000 was like, that didn't really feel like that was up 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.720 Vanessa's alley. But she was like, I'm a secret fan 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.920 and I'm just gonna treat you like my roommate. I'm like, okay, Vanessa, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.080 and I wouldn't picture you to be like, I have 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.600 a question. Vanessa had a single room before, right, did 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.760 she had? What was her roommates? You know? I think 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.000 she was just waiting for her roommate to come, so 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.200 she just had like a delay. Yeah, but there's this 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.560 fabulous the reveal when Vanessa realizes, first of all, she 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.760 walks in and realizes her roommate is here, and it's 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.560 the assistant who has taken down this poster, and so 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.680 you could see Vanessa has been a little bit her 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.120 her territory has been you know, violated a little bit here. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.560 Um in the beginning, and then we get the reveal 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.720 and it's a great scene. Um, I thought I got 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.800 to kick out of it with this, like just to 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.600 look on your face, you really, yeah, when you're like 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.680 dealing with this assistant and then all of a sudden 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.520 faced with this big star you know, coming into be 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.480 your roommate. It was really a fun scene. Um. Yeah, 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.000 it was. I just remember feeling like, Okay, here's this 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.840 big star and clearly in this episode you can see 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.640 something's going to go down with with Olivia and Dan. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.000 But um, that seemed to me it was interesting because 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.200 this is a real like turn for Vanessa because here 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.400 now it's like she's dealt with these like popular kids 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.160 on the Upper east Side, So here she is with 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.160 someone on a on a whole bigger scale that the 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.360 whole world knows who this is not just like the 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.319 world on the Upper east Side with Serena. But now 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.800 we're like literally living with each other and roommates and 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.560 you're like starting to possibly date my best friend. So 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.400 it's just to wrap my head around that for Vanessa, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.319 I'm like, what's It's almost like you had practice, Like 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:29.760 Vanessa had practice dealing with high profile people who are 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.240 out of touch and then also dealing with watching Dan, 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.280 you know, having balancing all of these kind of powerful 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.560 women that he has no idea what he's doing. So 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.280 it's funny because it's, yeah, it really is like a 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.640 turning point for Vanessa or like a coming coming home 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.720 and roost. And Nate says something funny too, like I 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.840 would have just thought a guy who dated Serena Anderwoods 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.080 and would have like more game or something, because He's like, yes, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.520 that was really good. That was the true. I'm like, true, Nate, Yeah, 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.160 it was a fun There was a fun scene there 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:02.000 with them and the like Bishop when when Nate realizes 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.360 that Dan doesn't know who she is and he kind 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.680 of like, let's you know, he doesn't let on because 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.080 he's not like he's like tergaying it too much, which 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.840 is really cute. Um, yeah, I was kind of like 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.319 be a homie and let him know. But then I'm 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.760 also like, no, he's fine, and it's cute that she 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.080 he didn't know. I kind of like that he didn't 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.920 and was like, yeah, but he's never short of girls either. Yeah, 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:30.080 He's always got He's always got something. And speaking of Georgina, 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.760 so we don't see her in this episode, but we 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.760 know Vanessa has some interaction with Scott and then Scott 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.200 has sort of Georgina on the other line, so we 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.600 know that whatever that is is happening, right, but we 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.600 don't get a lot of vacation, so I don't know 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.280 if she's going to use that relationship or that situation 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.640 to get closer or have something over Dan. I don't 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.680 know because at this point they're not together. Dan's already 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.000 onto Olivia. Why are you like, what what are you 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.560 going to get from Scott? Right? That's really interesting girl. Yeah, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:03.880 it's like they plant the seed, but we have no 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.920 idea where that's going at all, no idea. Um, that 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.120 means maybe Scott comes back and he's like dating Olivia too, 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.680 like who knows, but mom got is a secret brother. Um. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.600 But meanwhile, as all that is going on, we have 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.720 Jenny at school, which I like that they did this 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.680 where we still have like a flavor and a connection 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.680 to the school. But like in the beginning with her, 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.800 when she's like putting on the headbands and then she 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.880 decides not to wear it, I thought that was like, yes, 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:39.360 very symbolic. Also, she looks so good her hair symbolic 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.560 way of showing that she's, you know who she's going 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.000 to be, that she's not going to embody the classic 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.240 Blair asque queen Bee, but she's going to rather be 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.080 some benevolent um force. And you see that with that 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.680 very simple act of not donning the headband. So I 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.560 really thought that was an interesting start to that. And 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.920 then it was such a fantastic scene I got such 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.680 a kick out of when she actually went to school 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.720 and realized that all of the girls were already doing 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:10.280 her yes, yes, and already they show up and they 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.360 look like little um photo copies of her little queen. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.360 First of all, go wash your eyes. Yeah yeah. I 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.720 was like, damn girl, yeah, and she's like and then 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.240 it's it's getting back to Blair that Jenny is like 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.160 not holding court right, And I feel like this whole 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.920 episode with Blair, I just feel like Blair is better 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.720 than that, Like are you still worried about these high 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.440 school girls? Like let's just let that be, like just 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.920 because she can't she's not fitting in and m y 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.240 u and feeling weird, it's like you're gonna go and 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.000 hang out Like I just don't get it. I just 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.200 I'm just like you're you're You've went right, it's the 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.960 next chapter of your life, Like move on. It just 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.520 feels a little like desperate. It's desperate, yeah, because usually 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.680 we have Blair is such a you know, she's such 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.960 a character you know usually who's she stands her strength. 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.000 And then and even if she's insecure and things like that, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.119 and we all have our own insecurities, they're still she 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.240 still has this like power game where she can like 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.040 outpower anyone, and she's got it and she's like the 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.960 Queen Bee and this and that. So when you see 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.840 her kind of like falling off that which is kind 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.000 of not nice to see because also get a grip, Blair, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.320 let's figure it out, like don't go back if you 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.960 desperate and try to do this, Like you, we've moved 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.000 on from you at that school, you know what I mean. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.720 We don't want freshman in high school or college going 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.879 back to try to like have these kids follow you 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.520 like stop. And I also remember, like I mean, I 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.159 remember that feeling from high school times that there was 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.720 always that one or two of those kids who really 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.920 had a great experience in high school who would then 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.720 hang around, you know, they'd be like in their twenties 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.760 and still coming to high school parties, and you were like, 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.040 just move forward in life, you know. So it's like 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.400 the idea that you can kind of peak in high 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.760 school or that's where you feel most comfortable. You kind 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.920 of really don't want that for Blair. And it's nice that, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.240 you know, Chuck and even Derota has a line of like, 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.760 you know, Chuck and I agree, like you know, we're 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.199 of the opinion and Blair's like shut up, you know. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.760 So it's like everybody can see that she's not you know, 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.280 she's she's losing her way and so it's sad to 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.000 watch her go down that road, and it's nice that 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.920 they kind of rescue her. And Chuck does it with 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.920 basically with like tough love because he ends up, yeah, 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.000 undercutting her and kind of embarrassing her by going to 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.080 this event with Jenny and you know it's Jenny, but 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.280 he also knows how to do that to her, right, 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.280 you have to. It's like when I mean, that's the 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.720 thing with her, it's like you have to be you know, 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.440 a little bit dramatic when you deal with Blair. So 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.120 they you know, so they do. But you know, it's 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.600 I think it's a very relatable story to for this 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.080 idea that you know, she can't find her footing at 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.240 ny U. So this is what the third episode, fourth 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:49.440 episode of this season and she is not comfortable yet, 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.080 and you know, it's that I think is very relatable 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:56.000 because it takes agree, yeah, and it's a new environment, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.640 it's it's new people, it's different personality. She's really used 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.200 to her same thing for so many years that you know, 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.400 being the queen Bee everyone following her, you know. But 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.040 I also think it's there's something in this where I 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.359 hopefully we see in the next little bit that she 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.320 learns that maybe you you have to shift a little bit, yeah, 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.000 that you have to evolve because here's the other thing. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.200 People aren't falling for her ship now, do you know 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:24.160 what I mean? Exactly, So hopefully we see that she 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.400 kind of learns from that and understands like, hey, I'm 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.199 going to have to find what other people like to 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.719 do sometimes not always what I want to do, and 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.600 value other people's We both know Blair has a big heart, 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.520 and she really is. She's funny, and she can be 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.159 a great friend and a great person. It's just she's 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:44.600 a little selfish. She's very stubborn, and she it's like 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.400 her way or no way, you know. So she's gonna 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.359 have to do some shifting because people aren't going to 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.800 be bossed around right now. So exactly, Sorry, Blair. My 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.480 philosophy has always been the rejection. Sometimes it's an invitation 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.280 to evolve or to kind of look and we're so 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.600 it's like, sometimes rejection is just rejection and you have 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.840 to power through. Sometimes rejection is an invitation needed to say, 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.959 you know, maybe the universe is showing me something about 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.320 myself here. So I think that for her, you know, 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.800 the personal growth that's required in order to make new 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.600 connections and make new friends, and and it's interesting to 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.280 see her in this scene and have the silly scene 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.800 with the what do they call themselves, the Masters of 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.560 the Universe. Yeah, you know, even though she's being totally 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.639 bossy and mean to them right up the gat, it's like, 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:32.840 there's still there is room for her. And I guess 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.520 what I'm saying is that there is room for her 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.919 at n y U. It's just her finding you know, 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:52.959
