And while you're out foaming milk with Vanessa, can you bring Jenny along with you? She seems to spend every waking hour strolling around town with her father. Is there a match.com equivalent for teens with no friends? She also seems to wear the same outfit on every episode. If Jenny's in a scene, you can bet there's a leather motorcycle jacket, skinny black jeans, and pearls. She did have a nice moment, stalling Lily for her dad by explaining the Twilight saga. Maybe Jenny should start a book club?

Speaking of other drags, Nate was a big ole wet mop. He mostly just hovered around and got cranky when Chuck showed up.

If ever there was a scene that proved Chuck and Blair should be together it was their moment at the Russian Tea Room. Ah-mazing. I didn't want it to end. Both actors were superb. It's impressive that even with characters as ice-cold as Chuck and Blair, Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester are able to make us care about him. When Chuck told Serena that he let Blair go because he did truly love her, I got a little misty.

It was so random, though, that Serena ended up getting arrested at the restaurant and Poppy got away scot-free. Lily has never been the best mother but that's definitely a bizarre parenting choice. I really don't understand her whole theory of sweeping this under the table and letting Poppy fly the coop. I mean is Serena's reputation that stellar? Helloooo, last year she admitted to killing a man. I think a ponzi scheme falls slightly below manslaughter.

Rufus has slowly become the Brooklyn hipster equivalent of Sherlock Holmes. He's always uncovering secrets and rooting around in people's private things. I understand he was upset about Lily trying to help him out financially but the dude would have to accept the fact that she'll always be wealthier than him. Her money isn't gonna go away if they get married. And this is what will drive them apart? Really? Come on, Rufus. Also, were you really gonna just propose to her in her apartment with some lilies? That's it? I feel like you gotta go a little bigger for Lily. I know Jenny thought he made the whole thing more personal but it seemed a little lame.

So next week is the big GG flashback episode, the pseudo-pilot for a potential spin-off. If you pick up this week's EW, I was on set for one of the flashback scenes and I have to say that everything I saw looked promising. The flashback stuff looked totally fun and little brighter than GG. Plus, No Doubt guest-stars and performs a rollicking cover of Adam and the Ants ''Stand and Deliver.'' I'm pretty stoked to see how it's all edited together.

What did you think of this week's Gossip Girl? Will Lily and Rufus get back together? Will Jenny ever switch up her wardrobe? What is Georgina planning to do to Poppy?
