It's the first person of color who is not a minion or a servant to somebody else, which really sends a
Speaker:lot. It is the C.W. the pretty white people network. As it was now back then. Yeah, yeah. Hey,
Speaker:Upper East Siders and all you scandal loving listeners out there. You just tuned into the
Speaker:non-judging breakfast pod. Where the coffee is strong, the waffles are fresh, and the gossip is
Speaker:hotter than ever. My name is Leaf and I'm your seasoned gossip girl veteran. And I'm Steve. I'm
Speaker:the newbie exploring the glitz and glamour of the Upper East Side for the very first time. I'm the
Speaker:greenhorn, the new kid on the block. What do you call the fresh meat on gossip girl leaf? I don't
Speaker:know. I think they would label you as a project. You know, the girls that have the potential to be a
Speaker:blaring. All right. So dress me up in an Eleanor Waldorf original and let's get started. Sounds
Speaker:good. So here's the deal, folks. Leaf's been into gossip girl from the very beginning and I'm
Speaker:exploring this iconic show for the very first time together. We're your dynamic duo dissecting all
Speaker:the drama and sometimes questionable fashion choices of our favorite Upper East Siders. That's
Speaker:right. Each week we'll break down all the schemes, secret hookups, and couture catastrophes. And
Speaker:trust me, they're a few of them. And because we're all about inclusivity here, whether you're brand
Speaker:new to the show or a veteran like leaf, there is always room for you at the non-judging breakfast
Speaker:table. So grab your coffee, grab your mimosa, or some of Neaton Chuck's special medicine, and
Speaker:let's dive into this. All right. Today we are going to be talking about season one, episode six, The
Speaker:Handmaiden's Tale. Do you know what that is a reference to? I do. I'm assuming the book, The
Speaker:Handmaiden's Tale, Margaret Atwood, classic high school canon literature. I've actually
Speaker:never taught it. But I would also assume that this predates the show. At this point, yeah. There was a
Speaker:little bit of overlap, I believe, but not at this, the show had not come out at this point. The
Speaker:original air date indeed was October 24th, 2007. The IMDB episode description reads, Dan finds
Speaker:himself between two girls when his childhood friend Vanessa returns to New York and declares
Speaker:her feelings for him, just as he and Serena are trying to figure out what they mean to each other.
Speaker:At the mass ball, Blair sends Nate on a scavenger hunt, but Nate is distracted by his feelings for
Speaker:Serena. Although Blair said the outsiders were not welcome to the party, a disguised Jenny and Dan
Speaker:sneak into the ball. Finally, Lily S. Rufus do accompany her to an Eleanor Waldorf event, only to
Speaker:make Bart Bass a bit jealous. So, yet a new character, Vanessa, adds to the main cast,
Speaker:Jessica Zazar. Probably saying that name wrong. Zor. It's like S-Z-O-R, I believe. Yeah. She also
Speaker:has a podcast. Oh, okay. I mean, if I was on Gossip Girl, I'd have a podcast. She is the only one that
Speaker:actually, like her and her and Ed Westwood, the only ones who are like still clinging y'all to it.
Speaker:Everyone else from the show kind of hates to shout. Now that Ken Badgley has his own podcast, he's also
Speaker:starting to embrace it a little bit. But he also has a lot of other work that he's done. Well, yeah. He's
Speaker:very famous for you now. And he had his band for a while and he's been in a few whole movies. He was
Speaker:very popular in EZA. Also, John Tucker must die. He was the good brother. Oh, okay. Okay. That was when
Speaker:he had the goofy long hair. Oh, wow. Yeah, I can't even picture it's been so long. Anyways, episode
Speaker:was directed by Norman Buckley. He has been directing for quite a while. Does a lot of big
Speaker:episodes for Josh Short Shows, including 12 episodes of Gossip Girl. Yeah, I definitely felt
Speaker:like there was a lot of directorial control in this show, in this episode. Yeah. And it was written by
Speaker:Jessica Queller, who's been credited as the writer for nine episodes of Gossip Girl. Also
Speaker:wrote for Gossip Girl Acapulco and Gossip Girl Indonesia. A showrunner for Supergirl. Also
Speaker:worked on One Tree Hill, Felicity Gilmore Girl, so definitely a veteran of teen drama. Yeah, very
Speaker:much so. And yet, I think it's an important point to talk about writer's room make-ups a lot of the
Speaker:time. Because this episode is credited to a woman, but there is just a lot of male fantasy outcome to a
Speaker:lot of it. I remember the first thing I did after I finished the episode was scroll up to see who was
Speaker:credited as the writer. Because I was like, did a man write this episode? Because it just... And
Speaker:again, if you want to explain writer's room. Yeah, so the way a typical writer's room works is all the
Speaker:writers on the staff are in the room. Obviously, it's an actual room and they storyboard an idea for
Speaker:an episode. So they come up with all the ideas, but then one writer is assigned the task of putting it
Speaker:on paper into an actual script right. And then that even then that script form then goes to the
Speaker:showrunner who has their final cut. Yes. And so it was a team of writers who did this, but I definitely
Speaker:feel... And we'll get to it as the episode goes on. I feel like there was some very heavy-handed a man
Speaker:wrote this kind of feeling to a lot of especially later in the episode. Yeah, I could see that. Now is
Speaker:a good time to point out that I happen to pay attention to our analytics from Spotify. And we
Speaker:are on now three continents, North America, Europe and Asia. Welcome Europe, welcome Asia.
Speaker:And our fan base is growing also in the US. So I'd like to hear from you guys. So send some emails to
Speaker:the non-judgingbreakthespod at gmail.com or check us out on socials and send us some messages
Speaker:and just interact. We'd love to interact with the fans. Yeah. And as a matter of fact, and I need to get
Speaker:the actual username up, but one of our followers on threads actually responded to one of our posts
Speaker:because I had posted about if Lincoln Hawk is number nine on the list of the top 10 most forgotten
Speaker:bands of the 90s, who are the other... Who are the other nine bands? And Mikey Jerome, the
Speaker:bartender, responded with a couple good ones. Seven Mary Three. Do you remember Seven Mary
Speaker:Three? Have we come home? Come, miss. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Okay. Spind Doctors. Oh, they're not
Speaker:forgotten at all. Which I, yeah, I felt like what spin doctors and bare naked ladies, I felt like
Speaker:they weren't really forgotten at all. Those were also on this person's list, but Silver,
Speaker:Silverchair was another one. They're more like a soft metal. Yeah. Yeah. They were, I think they
Speaker:were like the 17 year olds from from Australia or something like that. I know nothing about them
Speaker:other than like the general sound. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I was very, I was very happy to hear some
Speaker:contributions to this. Yeah. Keep it coming, guys. Yeah. Hangouts. And I also had a little bit of
Speaker:a story that I wanted to drop because I was hanging out with one of my closest friends from college.
Speaker:And he was telling me this story about how his late wife went into a coffee shop in Brooklyn when they
Speaker:used to live up there. And there was a man who was in there crying. And she was, she was just this most
Speaker:generous heart. Her name, her name was Joy. And she's just the most generous heart. And she went up
Speaker:to this person and he had just been dumped by his girlfriend and was just kicked off of, was just
Speaker:fired from his job. And it turns out that that job was that he was working on a TV show. And this person
Speaker:happened to be Sebastian Stan that she was talking to right after he got fired from Gossip Girl and
Speaker:dumped by Lee, Lee Meester. Yeah. Then he's like, you're picked up though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It
Speaker:definitely took off from there. He was, I forgot that they had dated. Yeah. Briefly. Because yeah,
Speaker:I was probably. But yes. Yeah, I forgot that they did date in real life. He makes a cameo in Bupkiss,
Speaker:the Pete Davidson show on Peacock, that he leaves his, he left his cable, his account logged in and
Speaker:Pete Davidson ordered a bunch of stuff to his Peacock. I don't know what I'm doing without that
Speaker:show in my life. I've been trying missing out incredibly by not watching that show. You'll be
Speaker:okay. Anyways, let's go ahead and get into the episode. Yeah. We open the episode with a Gossip
Speaker:Girl monologue over a montage of Renaissance paintings and pictures of masquerade balls. Yes.
Speaker:And I wanted to point out that in that opening monologue, there is another direct reference to
Speaker:the royalty, to these, these Upper East Siders essentially being the royalty of New York or
Speaker:American nobility, so to speak, which that really stood out to me because you had mentioned it in
Speaker:episode three, that it's that royal court. Yeah. This is the American nobility. Yeah. I have some
Speaker:like very brief interactions with these Upper East Side people and it is a total different world.
Speaker:Yeah. I can imagine. Like one of my dad's friends is from like his parents live on you know, Park
Speaker:Avenue. Like in the, like my dad went to the wedding for his friend and it was there was insane. Yeah. It
Speaker:was that one of these big like, you know, plaza hotels or something. Yeah. But anyways, yeah. So
Speaker:the closest thing I got to a ball in high school was, I think we like trying to convince the DJ to play
Speaker:that ACDC song, we got the biggest balls of the all, all the school dances. Yeah, we're a big ACDC fans
Speaker:in high school. All the jocks. Jenny is at a jewelry store running errands for Blair. The jeweler
Speaker:presumptuously lends Jenny a bracelet and puts it in on Blair's tab. No way this could possibly be.
Speaker:Right. And I remember sitting there watching that thinking the episodes of Handmaidens Tale, but
Speaker:they're setting up a Cinderella story already. Like, you know, yeah. Oops. Oh yeah. Yeah. The
Speaker:titles, so they did much better with the titles in the AC, where the title actually reflects like
Speaker:multiple things in the storyline usually. Yeah. Yeah. Gossip Girl, sometimes the sword relates to
Speaker:the story, but it's usually just they want to rubber some stupid movie they were watching that
Speaker:day. Yeah, or Make a Pun. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So at the Waldorf penthouse, Blair tells Serena her plans
Speaker:to seduce Nate at the masquerade. Blair wants Serena to help in this little game. Again, I'm sure
Speaker:nothing will go wrong here. Yeah. Hey, you know that boyfriend of mine that I said never to speak to
Speaker:you again because you banged him at a wedding? Yeah. Why don't you help me bang him tonight?
Speaker:Because I'm sure he's over all of that. Yeah. Because he hasn't been weird. So the last person he
Speaker:talks to before we have sex should be you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Could you could you be the last thing
Speaker:that he's getting warmed up for me? Yeah. Yeah. The other the other great line in this is when there
Speaker:when Serena's talking about taking Dan and not sure if he's going to want to go or if he's even
Speaker:available and Blair says, well, yeah, he is Dan Humphrey after all. Hey, at least she knows his
Speaker:name now. Yeah. I thought that was great. I thought that was such a great reference back to her never
Speaker:knowing his name. Yeah. The Humphreys are at the loft also talking about the ball. Dan hates dances
Speaker:and thinks Serena is fine with him skipping it. But Rufus is skeptical. Yeah. And it seems that not
Speaker:only does not not only does Rufus think obviously Serena is going to want him to go, Rufus thinks Dan
Speaker:kind of wants to be where Serena is. And I think yeah, it's pretty clear that Rufus is right. Yeah,
Speaker:I think I think it's pretty obvious right away. We are still in the good dad Rufus era. We'll see how
Speaker:long that lasts. I think he's definitely a better dad for Dan than he is for Jenny. But yes. So back at
Speaker:the penthouse, we find out that Rufus is right to be skeptical because Serena clearly wants to go with
Speaker:Dan, but is you know, afraid to ask him because she thinks that he doesn't want to go. Classic team,
Speaker:this communication. Yeah. Yeah. Just talk to each other like it should last. Yeah. Yeah. But we got to
Speaker:reset and relearn lessons. Yeah. Now we're TV. Yeah. And back at the loft, Dan is contemplating
Speaker:asking Serena because it turns out he does want to go through the ball. But the conversation is
Speaker:interrupted by a phone call from newcomer Vanessa who sneaks in through the fire escape while on the
Speaker:phone. Yeah. And I doubt anything's going to go wrong here too. Any initial thoughts out of
Speaker:Vanessa? I mean, I thought she was, I guess, fun. I didn't really have any problem with her. I mean, I
Speaker:thought the story made sense. You know, love your life comes back a year later. The first hint of any
Speaker:melanin in our main characters. Not minions or servants. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. It's the first
Speaker:person of color who is not a minion or a servant to somebody else. Yeah. Which really says it is the
Speaker:CW, the pretty white people network. As it was known back then. Yeah. Yeah. As Vanessa walks out
Speaker:to say hello to Rufus, Dan gets a call from Serena. It appears Serena is about to ask Dan to the ball,
Speaker:but he is instantly caught lying about Vanessa. Serena changed her mind. It tells Blair that she
Speaker:needs a date. Yeah, the lies, Dan. Like it was an easy one. Yeah. It was an easy one not to lie about,
Speaker:oh, an old childhood friend just showed up. Yeah. Like it's an easy one. The only reason to lie is if
Speaker:you feel guilty. Which they, which he does this situation because at this point, it's Dan who had
Speaker:said that he loved Vanessa apparently before she went away. Right. But this will be later recon. So
Speaker:yeah, which which also does make more sense because Dan canonically has always been in love
Speaker:with Serena. Yeah, it does. It does. At the same time, I mean, I know I was a teenager where I was in
Speaker:love with my girlfriend, but then met some, but there was someone else that I was in love with that,
Speaker:you know, I never would have thought I ever would have dated. You know, like, you know, there's,
Speaker:there's that. Yeah. But I mean, like Dan's like writing stories about Serena. Yeah. So Vanessa in
Speaker:the books is a little bit of a different character. She's also Dan's best friend, but she is like more
Speaker:ingrained in the Upper East Side. She is a student at Constance. She has a bald head and she shaved her
Speaker:head. Her sister is a lesbian punk fan famously. Like that's like mentioned constantly. Folks are
Speaker:never in the show. It's briefly mentioned in the show, but like they completely take out the fact
Speaker:that she was a student at Constance. Right. And she is now like even poorer than Dan. I'm just thinking
Speaker:of the tour of Lincoln Hawk and the lesbian punk band. I just want to get them out on the road
Speaker:together now. I just want, I want Gossip Girl up a loser. That's the concert I want to see. The most
Speaker:anticipated concert of 2008. So that's kind of the setup for the episode as we move on to act two, where
Speaker:we, Nate creeps down the stairs and see over here is his parents arguing about the captain's business
Speaker:deal with Eleanor Waldorf. Even Nate noticed his father seems to be under some stress. Yeah. And
Speaker:this is the first time that we're meeting Nate's mom. So Nate is the first character with both
Speaker:parents. Mrs. The Captain. Yeah, Mrs. The Captain. Although sometimes I feel like it's more
Speaker:Mr. I can't remember the family now. But what's her family? The Waldorf's? No, the captain's wife.
Speaker:The Vanderbilt's. The Vanderbilt's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's Mr. Vanderbilt sometimes.
Speaker:Yes. Yes. Definitely. She definitely has the more older money. Yeah. Where he's kind of a new venture
Speaker:capitalist. Yeah. Yes. And so, yeah. So Dan and Vanessa walked down the streets of Brooklyn,
Speaker:planning Vanessa's first night back in the city. Dan and Vanessa have an awkward conversation
Speaker:about unrequited feelings. Yeah. And there's the whole what did Dan say a year ago? They don't come
Speaker:out and say it there. They say it later on. But there is that whole what, you know, what did he say?
Speaker:Because now he clearly is ready to move on. Yeah. And then, so yeah, Dan, Chuck and Nate are at the
Speaker:Archibald Townhouse. They discussed the missing money in Nate's account from two weeks ago. They
Speaker:find a fat bag of coke in one of the books. Nate tells Chuck that it isn't his who could it belong to? I
Speaker:love how impressed Chuck is when Nate pulls when Nate has the coke. I thought you were strictly an
Speaker:herbal bad Nate. Yeah. And and there's that you can have you see that look in Chuck's eyes of like, hey,
Speaker:you know, it's not usually my thing, but I'm good to go. Like, like, yeah, let's let's do a little. See,
Speaker:I think it was more like, yeah, that I've been wanting to do this for a while and why why weren't
Speaker:you coming along? Yeah. If I knew you were into this, we would have been like, uh, not ghosts.
Speaker:Yeah. But these two seem to be fine. And back at the penthouse Blair is trying to find a socially
Speaker:acceptable date for Serena while the teens are planning a ball. Eleanor is planning a Moroccan
Speaker:themed party, Luca included. Yeah. Yeah. The totally culturally appropriated party going on
Speaker:at the Waldorf estate. This all this scene always reminds me so my aunt always tells me that my
Speaker:grandmother back in like the 70s had a hookah in her house. Geez. As just kind of like as a decoration
Speaker:decorative piece. That's really funny. Nate is walking the Manhattan streets in search of
Speaker:someone to talk to. He calls his girlfriend Blair, but only gets her voicemail. Yeah, he is shook over
Speaker:this coke. I don't know. I don't know how I would react how I would have reacted in high school if I
Speaker:would have found a bag of my dad's Oh, good. But my dad was so anti drugs. But like, yeah, I don't know
Speaker:how I would feel like I probably wouldn't really. It's like, I mean, I already definitely do my dad
Speaker:was smoking weed. So I mean, yeah, I was such a dare kid in high school. Like I may have had the same
Speaker:response as Nate. Yeah. At the penthouse, Jenny is dropping off the joy that she picked up earlier.
Speaker:Blair immediately spots the bracelet on Jenny's wrist. And Blair Oh, sweeties Jenny and points out
Speaker:that freshmen aren't allowed at the dance. Jenny is clearly heartbroken. Blair appears to soften
Speaker:at the end of this competition. But as she walks away, the camera pans to Jenny scowling at Blair's
Speaker:back. Uh oh. Yeah, Jenny is. Look out Blair. Yeah. Yeah, Jenny. And this is the first time. So, you
Speaker:know, that we've always seen Jenny turn the tides in these situations. And this was the first time
Speaker:that you really see Jenny in a place where she doesn't really know that she hasn't out, you know,
Speaker:that she's like, actually a little worried about it. And then at the Vander Wittzen suite, Lily asks
Speaker:Serena about her dress for Eleanor's party. Serena lets Lily know she is not going to the dance
Speaker:with Dan and Lily is pleased. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, rich boy for uh, who would I be dating? So smooth. So
Speaker:smooth. But yeah, kind of weird that her mom wants her to quote unquote play the field. Yeah. That's
Speaker:not normally what parents are looking for. Yeah. But I guess Dash is that that disgusting. Yeah. And
Speaker:well, and I think it's more of the Rufus thing. You know, here's this, here's Rufus's kid who comes in
Speaker:and gives me lit whenever I see him. He's just another Rufus and I want, you know, I don't want
Speaker:that for my kid, but like, you kind of want it for you Lily. Yeah, she might be a little jealous. Yeah.
Speaker:Back at the loft, Dan leaves the voicemail inviting Jenny to the movies with them and
Speaker:Vanessa. However, the computer was left on and Dan sees Serena is looking for a date to the ball. Uh oh.
Speaker:Yeah. Now Dan finds out that Serena is going to the ball and looking for a date. And yeah, and it's yep.
Speaker:And it's not, and it's not him. And yeah, he doesn't know he's been caught in a lie. Yes. Serena is
Speaker:chatting with multiple potential suitors while we see Dan reserve a tux. Serena picks a date. So
Speaker:yeah, like when you say rich boy. Yeah, rich boy, the fourth. The fourth. Okay. Yeah. Which, which
Speaker:later on because later on, uh, Dan actually makes a reference back to the name. So he calls him pompous
Speaker:ass the fourth. That. So Nate having nowhere else to turn and knocks on Serena's door. Nate
Speaker:confesses his suspicion that his father is having having coke and financial problems. I guess he
Speaker:instinctively knows that Chuck would not be a good help in this situation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which
Speaker:from Chuck's reaction, Chuck would probably be high fiving the captain right now. Let's do it,
Speaker:dad. Yeah. Oh, you're upset. Nate. Okay. Hold on. I'm going to go. Where's your dad at right now? And
Speaker:at the loft, Rufus and Vanessa talk. Rufus is off to a party with a friend. Not a date, a friend. Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah. Just a friend. Yeah. Who we soon did we don't know yet who it is, right? We've, um, I think we do.
Speaker:Okay. We, okay. Um, but, uh, Dan calls Vanessa to cancel their movie date, but lies about the
Speaker:reason. Yeah. That's number two, Danny boy. Yeah. Two, like just lies, fake it lying. Yeah. Early on,
Speaker:I have lonely boy lies, lies, lies in my notes. And now he hits it again. Not looking good for Mr. Dan.
Speaker:No. Jenny comes home looking defeated and Vanessa tries to comfort her. Curly Vanessa is very
Speaker:integrated with the Humphrey entire Humphrey family. Yeah. Um, I actually really liked this
Speaker:aspect of Vanessa that it kind of evens the teens a little bit that you have someone else who is on the
Speaker:Brooklyn side of things. It also establishes that same sort of relationship that Eric and Blair have
Speaker:with Vanessa and Jenny. Yes. That like that's a good point. Yeah. Here's, here's a little sister
Speaker:to me because my best friend's little sister. Yeah. Right. The show definitely loves going
Speaker:parallel. So yeah, that's why I stopped seeing it. Yeah. Yeah. All right. At Ellar's party, Rufus and
Speaker:Lily are talking. Lily introduces Rufus to Eleanor and they both insist it's not a date. Not a
Speaker:date. Me thinks the lady does protest too much. Yeah. Like way too much. Definitely not a date.
Speaker:Bart Bass is also at the party with a date and we get an awkward introductions all around. Lily's plan
Speaker:is beginning to come into focus. I also want to, there's the interaction when, since when, when he
Speaker:says something about being the patron saint of lost rock stars and she said, since when were you a
Speaker:rock star? Let's show, let's put a little respect to number nine on the Rolling Stones, Ten Mutes
Speaker:Forgotten Bands, the 90s. Let's get a little respect for number nine. And we get a quick scene of
Speaker:the captain fawning over Eleanor. That's very awkward. Yeah. And, and yeah, he just seems
Speaker:uncomfortable and trying too hard from the gate. Yeah. It's always interesting to see people
Speaker:acting like they're higher drunk, but not actually being higher drunk. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker:And so back of the law, Vanessa convinces Jenny to crash the ball. Um, yeah, Handmaiden is just Jane
Speaker:Austen for slaves. Yes. Was was a great line. And really brings out the, the meaning of what you're
Speaker:doing this whole time, Jenny. Yeah. And everyone is masking up for the ball, including Dan, who
Speaker:talks, takes a mask off an already drunk patron and a nice social engineering by Dan using the guy's
Speaker:name to get in the door. Yeah. Yeah. Dan played that so, so smooth. Like, I just, a man wrote this
Speaker:episode. Like, you know, what's your name, Bao? Boom. Like that is like actually just pen vaguely,
Speaker:I think. Yeah. Cause I've been listening to his podcast lately. And like, he just like, see,
Speaker:simultaneously crosses or seamlessly crosses back and forth between being like super arrogant,
Speaker:but like, and then next many, he's like the nicest guy in the world. He's like super compassionate
Speaker:and like, it's really unusual. Oh, wow. You like, yeah. He has those moments where he's just
Speaker:completely smooth. And then you're, you're right. But then he goes like from smooth Dan to
Speaker:awkward Dan so quickly, but like, and this moment, just being one of those just, it was just so smooth.
Speaker:Yeah. Vanessa somehow managed to sneak a Jenny into the ball along with getting her costumes from
Speaker:one of her theater friends. Yeah, that was neat. And, and also establishes another little bit of
Speaker:background of Vanessa. Vanessa is a theater person at the school where she goes to, where at the
Speaker:school she attends. She, I don't think it's been mentioned, but she's actually home school. Oh, is
Speaker:she? Okay. But she's, she's like living on herself by herself. Oh, in New York. Yeah, that adds up.
Speaker:Yeah. We never actually like see where she lives. Oh, so, so, so the one main cast member who is the one
Speaker:cast member of color doesn't have parents and we don't see where she lives. Well, like, where is it?
Speaker:They moved to Vermont or something. Yeah. Oh, and she moves back. Yeah, she just comes back and like,
Speaker:she, I guess it's mentioned she's living with her sister. So like, there is a few matches of her
Speaker:sister from the, you know, it's more of a character in the books. Okay. But yeah, like that's probably
Speaker:where she's living, but they never show it and they never show her sister. And as sometimes I think she
Speaker:might just be living in Rufus's cafe. All right. And then so Necta's guess who plays as Jenny
Speaker:nervously enters the hazy lights of the masquerade ball. She's sneaking in. She looks
Speaker:great in the costume. The like, I just like the way that it's all seen is shot. Yeah. Yeah. With the
Speaker:very hazy lights and it's like this mysterious world opens up for her. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I
Speaker:couldn't even tell which cast member it was with those masks on. Like I got that's where this whole
Speaker:this whole episode took a turn because I just couldn't tell who one long girl looks exactly like
Speaker:the other. Yeah, yeah, they just all having a yellow dress. Yeah. Dan enters and sees Serena
Speaker:dancing with someone else. You see, she lives buddy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, what do you think's
Speaker:gonna happen and like, and now imagine being Dan like, wow, this is completely out of nowhere. What
Speaker:could I have possibly done to deserve this? And it's like, you know, you, you, you, you like I love
Speaker:how he wouldn't even know that he's caught in this lie, which it's everything he deserves is
Speaker:happening right now. It's it's everything he doesn't deserve. He screwed up. Yeah, he really
Speaker:screwed up. And so Vanessa returns to the party because she accidentally took Jenny's keys.
Speaker:Yeah, so she's come back. That was convenient. Yes. Yeah. But we don't we don't get the payoff
Speaker:quite yet. Blair is standing with Chuck and asking why Nate isn't looking for Chuck. Once again, that
Speaker:is a mass Jenny from across the room, not realizing he was one of his previous victims. Yeah. Yeah. And
Speaker:I actually kind of always wondered it because there is the whole like, oh, they're wearing masks
Speaker:and don't seem to recognize each other. I also kind of wondered if Chuck figured it out. I mean, he does
Speaker:by the end. So I kind of wondered if he thought, oh, okay, now she's coming around to me. But either
Speaker:way, that that whole interaction, I don't know if he ever actually figured it out. He says her name at
Speaker:the end. He says who did it at the end. He didn't know who it was all throughout. Okay, I, I don't know if
Speaker:he connects Jenny to the first for the pilot episode. Like I think because I think he not to
Speaker:excuse what he did, but I think he was probably just drunk and it was just some random girl and he didn't
Speaker:remember who that was at all. Well, at the end of this episode, he does say Jenny Humphrey got me out
Speaker:of my clothes. Yes. To get me not to. Then now because that now he knows like this he connects
Speaker:this. It's Jenny. I'm not sure if he's connecting the pilot episode. Okay. Because I know, I know
Speaker:there's a, I'm starting to see now the pivot to decanonizing the pilot, which I think is also kind
Speaker:of shitty of like not, not making the character own it and to soften up on it, which again, just kind of,
Speaker:you know, it goes back to some of the other problems like problems in this episode. Yeah. But I mean, so
Speaker:the Josh Schwartz definitely reads message for it. So he got really met with the OC. Yeah. And he
Speaker:gets met with the show as well. Yeah. But and Chuck was a popular character with young women. Yeah.
Speaker:This was the era of Twilight and they, I think specifically casted Ed Westwick, another
Speaker:Englishman, Englishman to kind of be a, a inhale, yeah, another Patterson Patterson light. Yeah.
Speaker:Diet Patterson. And it worked. It worked. Yeah. Yeah. Because he was by far and still is the most
Speaker:popular character. Yeah. I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. But I, but I can, but I see the pivot. I
Speaker:do see the pivot. They're starting more and more to ignore. Yeah. The pilot. So I got behind him as a
Speaker:entertaining character for a few seasons, but I never got on board with rooting for him as a
Speaker:romantic interest. Yeah. A lot of people did. Yeah. But I, I'd never, yeah. Yeah. And then, where
Speaker:were we? So Chuck approaches Jenny and Jenny plays Koi. Yeah. I would say, yeah. And then kind of
Speaker:thought about, and then so the captain is shooting his shot with Eleanor, but Eleanor doubts that
Speaker:Nate's mom flashes the Vanderbilt. But Eleanor is kind of showing doubts and then, you know, letting
Speaker:the captain be represented her company. But, but then, but then Nate's mom steps in with the dowry.
Speaker:Yes. Well, yeah, the reverse dowry. The reverse dowry. Yeah. She should have this, she should have
Speaker:this engagement ring. This very fancy diamond. There's so, there's so much to unpack in that scene
Speaker:though. Like I, because Nate's mom, you see her completely take control, win the deal by shutting
Speaker:down the captain and saying to the captain like, Hey, you're boring her with business talk. We're
Speaker:at a party. Yep. And then let's talk the family, the literal family jewels, the literal family
Speaker:jewels. And she should wear this ring, the Vanderbilt ring. Yeah. Go back to your earlier
Speaker:point of who wears the past. She has, she also has the family jewels. Yeah. She, yeah, she, she
Speaker:literally has the family jewels that she has just basically pond off to, to, to close this deal with
Speaker:her husband. So I'm really happy for the captain. I'm sure that now everything is going to work out
Speaker:for him. And that's a wrap on, and now he can lighten up on Nate a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker:Yeah. But I mean, of course, it still has to marry Blair. Of course. He's going to have to marry Blair
Speaker:and go to dark 16 now. Yeah. Shifting back to Rufus and Lily, Rufus goes in for the kiss to quote
Speaker:unquote, help Lily make Bart jealous. Yeah. As long as you're watching, he's winning. That's,
Speaker:that's like my Robin shout out for the day. Because when Rufus says, because Lily keeps looking over a
Speaker:Bart, and Rufus says, Hey, as long as you're watching, he's winning. And that was when Robin
Speaker:gave her, her snaps for, for episode seven. But it is a, it's a great message and a great line. And, and
Speaker:he was right. Make, make Bart be the one who's looking. All right. And then back at the ball,
Speaker:Serena is bored by her date when Dan steps in, but Serena is clearly upset at him. Yeah. Yeah. The
Speaker:date's not going well. But also, Dan lied to her and she's mad that he's there. And, and man, is she
Speaker:going to really let him have it? I don't see him possibly explaining his way out of this. What is he
Speaker:possibly going to have to say to get himself out of this one? And I don't know if you caught where
Speaker:Serena's date said he has a summer house at? No, Newport Beach. Oh, that's, that's funny, which is
Speaker:of course the OC. Yeah. That's, that's, that is a nice little Easter egg. So this show started the
Speaker:season after the OC ended. So this is the immediate, the immediate follow up. Yeah. So
Speaker:yeah, you actually started both Chuck and Gossip Girl the same season. Yeah, right after the OC
Speaker:ended. Yeah, that makes sense. And so, Codion is are trying to lead Nate to Blair, but the only thing
Speaker:he hears is Serena. Oh, Serena? Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm going to go find her. Yes. You know, Nate the big
Speaker:golden retriever that he is. Yeah. You just see his ears perk up. Well, tail starts to wag. That's,
Speaker:that's a leg I want to hope. I really wish the show would have leaned more into Chase Crawford's
Speaker:comedic side because he does a really good job at it on the police. Yeah. Yeah, he's, he's hilarious.
Speaker:And whatever he's given like funny material on the show, he does well, but they, they try and give him
Speaker:like all these serious stories and it doesn't work. It's not his strength. Jenny convinces
Speaker:Chuck to go to the roof and leaves a trail of his clothes for her to follow. Yeah. Jenny's playing a
Speaker:little game here. Jenny is playing a little game here and it is brilliant. And yeah, she is, she's
Speaker:definitely gone full Upper East Side here after, after Blair kind of, you know, spurned her there.
Speaker:She, ever since that flower, she gave Blair, she's been, she's on a roll. Yeah. Yeah. She, she's ready
Speaker:to take down Upper East Side. Serena tries to leave but Dan catches up and confronts her. Serena reels
Speaker:as she caught him in a lie. Dan apologizes and Dan and Serena kiss as Vanessa can feel he sees. So we
Speaker:get that pay off finally. Yeah. Yeah. Vanessa sees the two of them kiss. It makes sense to her. Why,
Speaker:why, why Dan canceled on her. And so of course Dan, who, who already has, you know, man, how are you
Speaker:possibly going to get out of this one, Dan? Now granted, he tells the truth. He doesn't say like,
Speaker:Oh, I wasn't love him, this person, but he's just like, Oh, I don't know. I've found it. Like, it's
Speaker:like, great. Yeah. Man, great resolution there. And he's still, he gets the kiss with some mouth. He
Speaker:does. And then, yeah. And then Vanessa runs off. So, you know, clearly the only thing to do is chase
Speaker:after that chase after Vanessa to explain. And I'm sure you'll only do that once. Anyway, so that,
Speaker:that is the end of act two. And we move on to act three. Dan goes after Vanessa, much to Serena's
Speaker:chagrin. Dan is busted by Vanessa for lie number two. And Dan tries to call it a lie of omission, but
Speaker:clearly he lied. It told her he was writing an American history paper that was definitely not a
Speaker:lie of omission. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He outright lied to her. And awkward Dan's excuse.
Speaker:And Serena also overhears the conversation once again. And Dan chases after Vanessa again. Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah. Chases after her again. Again. Oh, I've got to go. Like, are you kidding me? Like, well, I mean,
Speaker:but at least at this point, I'm guaranteed, you know, when Serena sees this, you know, she's not
Speaker:going to let him chase after twice. I mean, now she's just going to shut that shit down and be like,
Speaker:well, clearly there's something more there. So, obviously Serena won't let him, you know, get away
Speaker:with this. Yeah, Serena. Serena Serena Serena. Anyway, Jenny, taken charge here, locks Chuck on
Speaker:the roof in his underwear. She gets a measure of range from the pilot. Yeah. Jenny. Yeah. That was
Speaker:great. Take the clothes and run while and the phone. Yeah. And the phone and lock him on the roof.
Speaker:Brilliant, Jenny. Well done. Yep. Dan continues to have the worst episode as he costs a random woman
Speaker:on the street. Yeah. He's like, Dan, don't just grab random people on the street. Yeah. Yeah. I'd
Speaker:like grabbing a woman on the street. That's not a good idea. Yeah. Especially like the one, the one,
Speaker:like, ethnically different person on the street that you run up to and grab and like, oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker:You can ask. Yeah. Back at the penthouse, Lily is clearly uneasy to confront her true feelings for
Speaker:Rufus. I'm ready to confront her true feelings for Rufus. Yeah. So they're having a yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker:And that is that when Bart approaches to right? Yeah, that the scene ends. Yeah. Can I have a word?
Speaker:Yeah. Can I have a word? Yeah. And there is that, you know, again, Lily definitely has a thing for
Speaker:Rufus, but I but Lily so far has liked money and power more than love. Yes. Like the and she's
Speaker:pretty, pretty open about that decision that that money and power has always been more important to
Speaker:Lily than, than love ever since she left Rufus. Well, no, ever since she left Trent Reznor,
Speaker:because she she traded because it was after rock stars that she moved on to billionaires. But back
Speaker:at the ball, Nate is still trying to catch up with Serena as she runs into the ladies room. So he's
Speaker:foiled again. Yeah. Yeah. And then in the bathroom here, we get the big switcheroo Jenny and Serena
Speaker:talk about Vanessa. Jenny does a great job talking up Dan. This baby is what got Dan forgiveness and
Speaker:more than what dad did. Yeah. Yeah. So Jenny, Jenny also, you know, winning for herself and winning
Speaker:for Dan too. Yeah. Yeah. And Serena then gives Jenny her jacket and mask and of course now they are
Speaker:indistinguishable from each other. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And now we all even know Lake Lively is about
Speaker:three or four inches taller. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But probably, you know, and a little bit heavier as
Speaker:well, but not in a bad way, but just, she's just a larger one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then so we get
Speaker:that and then Nate approaches Jenny from behind thinking and Serena and tells her he has feelings
Speaker:for her and kisses Jenny. As Jenny runs away, the real Serena shows up and tells a son, Nate, that she
Speaker:has to find Blair right away. Again, guys, don't grab women from behind. Yeah. Don't grab women
Speaker:from behind. Definitely don't kiss women that you grab from behind. Unless you know, unless,
Speaker:definitely sure who it is and they want it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And neither of
Speaker:these women want it to be grabbed from behind. Yes. Yes. So Nate has to find Blair right away, but Blair
Speaker:also mistakes Jenny for Serena, but realizes the truth instantly as she runs. The bracelet falls
Speaker:off. When Prince Charming rips the bracelet off of Cinderella, because she can't be there when the
Speaker:masks come off at midnight. Exactly. So apparently the little mask work waters because
Speaker:even Dan mistakes his own sister for Serena as Jenny runs by. Yeah. Yep. Everybody. Yep. It's the
Speaker:mask because, you know, you can't see the face. You know, like I said, once the masks went on, I lost all
Speaker:concept of which character was which, because I just couldn't tell what the mask. All right. That
Speaker:is the end of Act Three. We move on to the epilogue. Chuck, Nate and Blair all exit the ball. Nate fails
Speaker:Blair's test and has to go home with Chuck. You thought you're getting Blair, but you got to go
Speaker:home with Chuck. Yeah. Yeah. I almost felt that for Nate, but he screwed that up himself. Yeah, he did.
Speaker:My only thing about Nate is all Nate wanted this entire episode was to talk to Blair. So I kind of the
Speaker:only thing that I felt for with Nate there is that I don't think Nate was expecting to go home with
Speaker:Blair to have sex the way it was planned out to be. I think Nate just wanted to go be with Blair to
Speaker:finally be able to talk about what's bothering. Yeah. If Blair would have just answered his calls.
Speaker:Yeah. Exactly. But now instead he's going to go home and he's a gold retriever. Whatever's the
Speaker:shiny thing in his face right now is what he's trying to stay up for. So if you're not in his field
Speaker:of vision, he's out of sight out of mind very, very much. Dan and Serena catch up and somehow Dan still
Speaker:gets the girl as we were talking about. Yeah. Dan has no right to win. Yeah. What's the rest of this
Speaker:note? Yeah. He has absolutely no right to win in this episode. He loses in every step of the way
Speaker:because of everything he does. He lies. He chases after the wrong girl. Wights. Like you do
Speaker:everything wrong. And in the previous episode, there was a lot of that like, oh, here's this very
Speaker:typical teen drama plot line. And I was like, oh, I like how they twisted it though. I like how they had
Speaker:different resolutions. And it feels like they tried to do this again. But it's like, no, he was
Speaker:shitty. And he did shitty things over and over. And he just was just let him off the hook for all of it.
Speaker:And then Nate comes home where his mom has found the cocaine from earlier and blames Nate. His father
Speaker:silently looks on guilt written all over his face. Worst parents on the show. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker:Yeah, especially. And like I'd even just, I put the spotlight clear on the captain with worst parent
Speaker:on the show. Because she doesn't, she thinks it's Nate's right. Like, and yeah, I'd be, I'd be mad if I
Speaker:found Coke on my high school kid. Like I've told my kids all along, there's a time and place for
Speaker:everything. And that's college. And six, you know, I would have, you know, I would have been
Speaker:upset with that. But the fact that he just sits there and lets him take the fall was just Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah. That like that dude is a piece of shit. And then the final scene, we get back to the loft and
Speaker:already got the girl and now he gets his friends. And he gets the friend too. So he gets the fruggy and
Speaker:gets to eat it as well. Yeah. Yeah. He gets the fruggy and eats the well. He gets the brogy and he
Speaker:gets to eat it as well. And, and, and like Robin the whole time is watching this, like, why do you have
Speaker:to have this conversation on a bed though? Like, why are you in his room on the bed though? Like, go to
Speaker:the living room, go somewhere else. Like, why are you shutting the door? Like, it's still like,
Speaker:which I mean, so I could kind of understand that in that that's just kind of what you do with the ice
Speaker:cool friends. You just, I, I get it. What's your room? And you sat on the bed. Yeah. But I would also,
Speaker:if Serena knew that she who was hanging out on his bed talking to her, I could, she would, yeah, she'd
Speaker:be jealous. Yes, she could have, there's room for jealousy there. I did want to point out the one line
Speaker:that I, the note that I had, I finally interpreted it, is the, the ice capades. When Jenny makes the
Speaker:comment early on, he, he, like, he'd never go to the ice capades. Yeah. And when she says, I've got
Speaker:tickets to the ice capades, if you're there, I'd go. It's like, but he feels like he is good. Like, I
Speaker:mean, it's not, but he locked into that because Jenny set him up for it though. Yeah. Yeah. And he
Speaker:said, yeah, you are absolutely right. He gives the right answer, but he does, but that was Jenny's
Speaker:win. Yeah. He's, he's, she's definitely heated up for him. Yeah. So the next episode is season one,
Speaker:episode seven of Victor Victrola, the max episode, pre any predictions? I'm sorry. I wanted
Speaker:to make one more comment about Vanessa and Dan. Okay. Vanessa, what are you apologizing for? Why
Speaker:are you apologizing to this guy who fucking lied to you? Who like, like, you don't know that he
Speaker:accosted the wrong woman, but that he like, why are you apologizing for anything? That's the notice
Speaker:actually, Vanessa, stop apologizing. Also, a man wrote this. No, but and so the next episode, season
Speaker:one, episode seven of Vitor Vitrola, any predictions? Um, it sounds like it's a Victor
Speaker:Victoria play on, on the word, though the words. So, and maybe Victor Victoria comes from the
Speaker:victor, victor, victrola, is it? But I mean, any idea like where the stories are going? Just by the
Speaker:title or, or, well, from the stories, because the title tells me there's some kind of
Speaker:cross-dressing shenanigans, but I could be completely off base with that. But story wise, I
Speaker:mean, Nate is kind of screwed with what's going on with his family. Like, they're going to make a deal
Speaker:of it. So he can end up at the Ostroff Center. Oh boy. Yeah. And so like, what's that going to do to
Speaker:Blair's relationship? And like, it looks like Serena and Dan are just moving along happily.
Speaker:While the Max episode preview states Serena and Dan finally acknowledge that they are crazy about
Speaker:each other. Oh good. You know, what, when Robin and I got back from Seattle this summer, we went out to
Speaker:dinner with our mom and our mom said, you know, I can see now why you two are perfect for each other. We
Speaker:were like, Jill, it's been 10 years. We've been together a decade. Like you're at our wedding. You
Speaker:see now that we're good for each other. Sorry, but like, yeah, three episodes in like, you're just
Speaker:now realizing that you like each other? Again, that's just the network TV thing. All right. We're
Speaker:gonna take a break and then come back with some segments. Awesome. All right. We are back for some
Speaker:segments. We're gonna go into episode grids. You went first last time. So I'm going to go first this
Speaker:time. I thought this was a pretty good episode. There's a lot of drama. I like the directing.
Speaker:There's a lot of cool shots, especially the shot of Jenny entering the ball for the first time. I
Speaker:really liked that. The acting was pretty good all around. Dialogue towards the end, the resolution
Speaker:was not best. And there's also a little trope in it. The tropes with the misdirection with the mass
Speaker:and, you know, that kind of all brought it down a little bit. So I'm going to go with a B. Yeah. I, and I
Speaker:really struggle to give this one a B minus. I give it a B minus because of everything that isn't the
Speaker:writing. Like I felt like the story in this one. Jenny's storyline great, but everything else in
Speaker:it I just felt was like they, like an excuse for an episode rather than an episode. Like I didn't, I
Speaker:feel like there was a lot that was well done by, like you said, the directing, the acting in it is
Speaker:fantastic. You know, there's, that you can't take away from that, but the script itself, the writing
Speaker:itself, I just, then yeah, it was weak and the storylines were weak and the, you know, Dan
Speaker:Humphrey winning in the end after all of the shit he did. It was, yeah, I B minus because of everything
Speaker:else that carried this episode. All right. And so moving on to the stock watch. I had going up Serena.
Speaker:Because I, she, I mean, she did actually, you know, she, she does like Dan and she got, she got with Dan.
Speaker:So she kind of won there. You know, I personally wouldn't have forgiven him that quick. I also had
Speaker:Rufus going up because, you know, he got to kiss Lily. Yeah. So that's a win. Yeah. And then Lily
Speaker:also going up because well, she got what she wanted. She made Bart jealous, obviously. That
Speaker:seemed to work out. Her plan worked out. Yeah. Yeah. And she got the kiss for Rufus. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker:She didn't seem like she hated. No, no, it doesn't. I think that she liked it more than she wanted to.
Speaker:Yeah. And then also I gave Vanessa stock going up. She came out on the scene. She, she, she helped
Speaker:Jenny get into the party. You know, she was a good friend. She was forgiving and she, you know, she
Speaker:apologized. I see, you know, I said up for her. What about you? So you got going up. Going up first and
Speaker:foremost is Jenny. Just, oh yeah, owning. Oh, I forget Jenny. Owning Chuck. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker:But, but going, she's always going up. Yeah. Jenny was for sure going up. Yeah. I definitely have
Speaker:Rufus and Lily also both going up because they're both kind of getting what they want and also kind of
Speaker:figuring out what they want. It's yes. You know, I feel like we've definitely not seen the last of
Speaker:those two together. I really kind of had Serena breaking even Serena and Vanessa breaking even
Speaker:for letting Dan off the hook. You know, I thought that their decisions up till up until letting him
Speaker:off the hook and furthermore apologizing for Dan being an asshole. Like I found both of them to just
Speaker:stay the same. Nate obviously plummeted. Oh, we got, we're doing up. Oh, we're just doing up still.
Speaker:Okay. Yeah. So those were my ups. Okay. So make sure you note hate those. You don't have to going down
Speaker:for me. I had Nate obviously going down because, you know, he screwed up. He tried to kiss Serena,
Speaker:which he wasn't supposed to do in the first place because he was with Blair, but he ended up kissing
Speaker:Jenny and he was just an idiot the whole episode of running around like a lost dog. Blair. Yeah. She
Speaker:tried to set up this elaborate scheme and it crashed in her face. Stocked down and the biggest
Speaker:drop Dan, liar, liar pants on fire. Yeah. Yeah. Dan had an entire episode of his, Dan had like two
Speaker:episodes worth of stock drops in one episode because it was like lie, lie, chase after wrong
Speaker:girl, chase after wrong girl. But as we know, he is a pretty white person. So he gets the fail off word.
Speaker:Yeah. Yeah. And that is exactly 100% what he did. So that happens. Best outfit for me. It was Serena's
Speaker:yellow ruffle. It's a Valentino gown with a black faux bolero coat. What faux fur? Nice. Nice. That
Speaker:was from the, the gown was from Valentino's spring summer 2007 collection. Awesome. For me, it was
Speaker:Chuck's, how Chuck's ball, the devil, the devil costume was I considered that. It was just so cool.
Speaker:Like the mask was dope. The red, the I, I was like, man, I want to rock that suit. Like that was a nice
Speaker:suit. Yeah. And anyway, on to some plugs. Not much going, I haven't seen much lately. I guess the only
Speaker:new thing I've watched was the Rebel Moon. It was okay, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't, I haven't
Speaker:gone into that yet. It's, it's, I'm what it is. I'm, yeah, I'm, I'm going to watch it. I'm interested in
Speaker:watching it, but I've gotten kind of that review all along. My point of what you do is if I had gone to a
Speaker:theater and spent like $30, I would have been upset, but seeing this on Netflix, I just watched
Speaker:it at home. I was entertained. Yeah. Yeah. That, that, I get that. Anything for you? Anything to
Speaker:plug? Um, I will be at the McGillans open mic on February 8th in Center City. So if you want to come
