  • The episode’s title is a play on the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin.
  • Both titles are grammatically incorrect and it bugs the hell out of me! Anyway…
  • Jenny is staying at the loft with Rufus. He’s running a tight ship and she’s hating it.
  • She’s going to school and must come home right after.
  • She leaves the loft and makes a call, saying she needs a car.
  • She lets down her hair and it’s greasy and wavy and just gross.
  • Blair is on the phone, saying Chuck had an emergency meeting with his lawyer.
  • She’s talking to Elizabeth! Interesting.
  • Apparently they’ve had a great week.
  • Blair tells Elizabeth that she thinks he has something to ask her and she should come over.
  • Chuck walks in and she hangs up.
  • He says several female employees of the hotel are suing him for sexual harassment.
  • Blair is shocked and says they are “scheming harlots.”
  • The lawyer points out two of the women weren’t even in town on the supposed dates.
  • Blair says the lawyer can fight it.
  • Chuck says a trial would be a PR disaster.
  • Q1: Settling is for the guilty. Celebrities who run people over, the Catholic Church.–Blair
  • Chuck reiterates that he has to settle.
  • Blair concludes this is because he doesn’t want to tell Elizabeth about this and ruin her image of him.

  • Q3: Who needs coffee after a wake-up like that?–Serena
  • Rufus texts Serena. He can’t find Jenny and he thinks she’s with Damian.
  • Serena tells Nate how Damian tried to kiss her and they conclude he’s a creep.
  • But Serena points out that’s what’s most attractive about a bad boy is being forbidden to see him.
  • She says Rufus is running Jenny into Damian’s arms and she vows to not let that happen.
  • Dan and Vanessa are hooking up, too.
  • But Rufus keeps calling.
  • Dan says he doesn’t want to answer because they are keeping their relationship casual…a casual secret.
  • Vanessa says he can’t hide from his dad forever.

  • He asks that she just let him know if she doesn’t want that.
  • He also kinda sorta asks if she’s a virgin.

  • Jenny says she just ditched class to be with her BF. No biggie.

  • LOL!
  • Blair answers, saying S can’t talk. They’re getting ready.

  • Chuck says they should’ve thought of that a while ago.
  • Q20: You know who she really is. You can see it in her eyes. In your eyes.–Blair
  • Chuck points out the evidence: she just showed up, she knows curious things and doesn’t want to be with Jack, the only person still alive who actually met his mom.
  • Elizabeth walks in. She heard everything.

  • Q25: Oh, and just so you know, I’m not wearing any underwear.–Vanessa

  • Chuck comes home. Blair has champagne.
  • He asks what they’re celebrating: the lawsuit, scandal or the fact that he signed over the hotel.
  • Q35: We’re celebrating you. For opening you heart to your mother. And me. For being the woman who encouraged you to do it.–Blair
  • Sweet but Blair still has to sneak her ego into it. Ugh/
  • They kiss.
  • Elizabeth answers her door. It’s Jack and the lawyer.
  • Q36: “Do we have ourselves a hotel?” “We do.”–Jack and Elizabeth
  • Fade to black.
  • Yikes! So Elizabeth is his mom but is working with Jack to screw Chuck. Unless there will be some double-backstabbing going on.
  • Preview: Nate says “Two words: role play,” cut to Vanessa dressed up for Dan like an old-fashioned housewife. The narrator says “There’s  high fashion, high-class call girls, and just plain high” as Agnes struts on a runway, the call girl from earlier this season is back (I forget her name), Blair says “Prostitutes are people, too,”  Jenny asks if someone put something in her drink, Agnes tells the guys holding a clearly drugged-Jenny to show her a good time, a bunch of rapid clips with the words “Let The Games Begin” intercut, Blair says, “If it’s a war Jack wants, then it’s a war he’ll get.”

Those are my thoughts. What’s yours?
