GG: Blackout Fun

This week there's a blackout, blackmail, and whole bunch of drama.

Dan and Serena seem to be back together, but want to keep it on the dl even though they are making out in the street. And no one's taking pics of them or anything. creepy.
Nate the gigolo is shopping the cougar (KC) and he lets it slip where is dad is hiding out, big mistake. He goes to see Vanessa later and tells her he wants to make things work, but sorry he keeps cancelling on her and she's like its ok let hang out tomorrow and then Nate's all oh, i can't, i gotta...family stuff? and Vanessa is all forget it but Nate's like no we'll figure this out. It probably shouldn't be that difficult huh? Also Vanessa shouldn't be that annoying.
It seems Chuck is having trouble, ahem, getting things going, even though he has ladies coming in and out of his room all week. Serena tells him its probably because he's not over Blair, so Chuck decides he needs to sleep with her again to get past it, but Serena warns him not to use Blair as "sexual draino." Ha.
So Blair is throwing another party, this one seems to be a back-to-school thing, and parents are invited? Anyway, she tells Nate to bring Vanessa and the only way to get rid of cougar is to spend more time with V. Nate thinks she's being nice, but it turns out cougar told her to tell Nate to bring Vanessa.... Nate then leaves V a message that its probably better she doesn't come and she's all bummed and Rufus comes in and I was kinda hoping for a little something, but she just mopes and he tells her she should pretend to not have gotten his message and go to the party anyway. It's just weird to me getting advice on your love life from your friends dad. But that's just me.
At the party, Chucks comes over to Blair and starts whispering in her ear and caressing her etc and she's like ahh then he's like Have sex with me and she's all ew your gross and he's like then why are you still holding my hand? Fair point chuckster. She immediately drops it and runs away. Soon after all the lights in the city go out and the party turns dark. Dan and Serena were leaving her apt and get stuck in the elevator. They start fighting again and the long and short of it is they break up. Dan can't get over Serena's socialite-ness and I guess Serena can't get over Dan not getting over this. Whatever they were boring anyway.
Anway she's shows up there and sees Nate and cougar together and gets all wtf and Nate explains to her what's going on and V's all like um "I don't want a love triangle with you and someone's mom" Nice one Vanessa. Also, I agree with her. So she's like ok if you break up with her I'll wait for you, cause Nate said he wanted to be with her not Katherine.
Then Blair confronts cougar and is like I see what your doing, just want a hot young thing to sleep with and cougs like, he makes me alive, you know what that's like and do you think you have that Marcus? Blair then goes to the lord and is all meet me upstairs stat. Chuck hears this and follows her up. Awesomely he gets to use his real accent and starts making out with Blair.
Soon after the lights come on and the real Marcus comes up and sees them going at it. At first Blair is like oh I totally thought it was you, he had an accent. Then Marcus punches Chuck out and runs away, so Blair follows him and confesses he knew it was Chuck but wants Marcus instead and he goes I want you too so she tells him to show it and they start kissing in front of the whole party.
Nate goes to find Vanessa but she's leaving and says its for the best. We find out that cougar told Vanessa that if she doesn't leave Nate she's going to tell the FBI where his dad is. Oooh blackmail. So Vanessa and Nate are over for now, as is Dan and Serena (hopefully for good).
During all this, Jenny was at Eleanor's working through the blackout and they bonded after Jenny told her one of her dresses was hideous. Rufus comes in looking for J, with a date and they all laugh and get sandwhiches and hang out. Boring story line.
Anyway it seems next week Serena is back to her partying ways, so it should be fun!
