SPOILER WARNING

* First things first: April 20th? Way to schedule, CW!

* I think the Missus put it best when it comes to Vanessa-Chuck: “This is what Vanessa needed. Finally, she’s interesting! All it took was the magic of Chuck.”

* I think I can get behind the Nate-Blair rematch, too. Better than Nate-Vanessa, that’s for sure, and you’ve got to have a good reason to put off Chuck-Blair.

* I only just realized that Poppy Lipton wasn’t some real-life NYC socialite making a cameo like Jay McInerney or something. Instead she was just another underbaked Gossip Girl bit part. I don’t know why they keep introducing characters just to not use them or develop them.

* Serena’s getting a bit annoying. This party story was kind of lackluster and lame for her. However, I did enjoy her getting her comeuppance via Jenny’s kegger pals. I can’t imagine her getting married in Spain is going to improve things.

* “We’re not in need?” “It’s all relative.” Indeed, Humphreys. Indeed.

* Dan getting a fan letter from his believed-dead half-brother is a bit of a coinkydink even for a show where people routinely bump into their friends while walking around Manhattan.

* I liked the introduction of another Polish servant. That’s definitely what Gossip Girl was missing.

* How about an Eric-Jonathan make-out session? Or any kind of physical intimacy whatsoever?

* I feel like I’m complaining a lot but I actually enjoyed this episode. I think it’s just that I’m writing this in the middle of America’s Next Top Model, which is so bad it has me grumpy about everything.
