Gossip Girl Recap: And then there were three!

The whole scenario is set up under the premise that Hillary Duff, miraculously Dan's new girlfriend (that dude never eases in to things, huh?) has to leave school in order to shoot another of her awesomely Twilight-meets-Lord of the Rings-hybrid of a fake-o movie, which Vanessa is nerdily obsessed with in a way that I love. So, to give her as much of a "college experience" as possible -- and also to try to convince her to stay -- Dan and V go down one of those cheesy "15 things you have to do while in college,' lists. After having consumed many drinks, the trio gets to the last one, which is have a threesome, so they do it. (There's a little girl-on-girl make-out session, but otherwise it's pretty tame.) The weirdest thing about the situation is that, um, they all end up spooning in bed together? Which just seems really unlikely. But oh well. Of course, we find out while the trio are cozily tucked into bed that, um, Duff is actually not going anywhere and that the potential for future awkwardness/lesbian subplots is limitless.

Meanwhile, back Uptown, Jenny is alternating between soulless diva in pursuit of (Upper Manhattan) world domination, and "the Jenny we used to know," (for like a secondback in season one, before she made any friends). But that's standard fare around Gossip Girl -- I, for one, am mainly excited about next week's drama, in which we face: Threesome Aftermath!
