Recap — Gossip Girl 3.02 “The Freshman”

During Chuck’s meeting, Serena stumbles in and ruins his businessman façade. His potential partner has been buying his story that he wants to open a quiet restaurant, until Serena tells him what a genius Chuck is for opening a club in the quiet location. Needless to say, Chuck is P.O.-ed. ‘Trainwreck…’he mutters as she storms out.

Back in the dorms, poor Blair’s sushi and saki party is a dud. Down the hall, Georgina and Vanessa are enjoying pizza and documentaries with the rest of the hall, and Blair was not and is not invited. ‘Once upon a time, in a faraway land, you were a queen. Here, you’re just a loser who will never fit in,’Georgina tells her as she (Georgina)’s handing out fliers to her rooftop party.

Just as Serena walks into her apartment to confess to Rufus her turmoil about going to Brown, Chuck walks out, and has obviously just told Rufus that Serena wasn’t at Brown. Rufus doesn’t offer the supportive hand Serena was looking for, so she leaves, withdraws her admission from Brown and calls bad-boy Carter for a night out.

Blair has begged Dan to bring her to Georgina’s party, and tells him she wants to get back on the right foot with these people. ‘No headbands in college,’he offers, as he throws hers down the stairs.

Dan goes to get drinks and bumps into Georgina, who tells him Blair’s using him for a way in. But Dan, with his good intentions, insists he’s not going to treat Blair how he was treated.

Nate and Bree are still holed up in bed, giggling, and she’s still not sick of him. Boring.

Serena and Carter ‘conveniently’end up at the same bar as Chuck’s next business meeting, and Serena of course insists on crashing. They spill stories of Chuck’s past indiscretions, and Serena, again tells the businessmen of Chuck’s real plans for restaurant.

GroupAtPartyChuck responds that he only told Rufus about Brown because he was actually concerned for her. Carter realizes that Serena used him to get back at Chuck, and says he’s sick of being her ‘bad habit.’

Blair’s snooty attitude has exiled her again at Georgina’s party, and Scott, Vanessa’s boyfriend/Dan’s unknown brother, is acting all weird. He freaks out when asked why he recommended a terrible teacher to Vanessa but his awkwardness is spared by Blair’s sudden announcement at the DJ booth. She tells the crowd what a ‘cool Christian’Georgina is, just in time for the singing ‘Jesus freaks’to come in, handing out pamphlets. ‘Oh my God! This is a conversion party!’Blair exclaims. She goes around telling everyone to go to downstairs where the limos are waiting to take them to Monkey Bar for her excelusive party. But always-the-hero-Dan comes to Georgina’s rescue, and gets on the mic himself, outing Blair’s plan and telling everyone to stay. And they do.
