• They shake hands in a really sensual way.
• Blair walks in and interrupts them and tells Serena to leave with her.
• Serena tells Blair she’s fine and they’ll talk tomorrow. Blair is peeved and leaves.
• Here we go again!
• Rufus and Lily are pleased by how the night went, even if they can’t keep their kids’ relationships straight.
• Lily says she’ll come to bed but she has something to sign for Bass Industries.
• She sorts through the papers and finds an envelope from “Dr. Van Der Woodsen.”–her ex and Serena’s dad!
• Cut to Olivia, Dan and Vanessa in bed together, sleeping but clearly naked.
• Olivia gets a text: the movie is off.
• Fade to black. That was the whole “controversial” threesome. Though we’ll supposedly see “more” in flashbacks but more of the threesome or more of the same?  Verdict: much ado about nothing!
• Preview: Dan gushes about the threesome but Nate tells him he did it wrong: the third girl had to be a stranger, with the implication that the aftermath is awkward otherwise. Olivia calls Vanessa out on being in love with Dan. Nate tells Dan he had 2 girls but he blew it.

Those are my thoughts. What are yours?
