Gossip Girl hit us with a blast from the past this week as we return to Queen B leading her posse of headbands and vowing destruction for all who oppose her. Plus, Serena got accepted, Dan got petulant, Chuck got creative, Jack got dangerous, Rufus and Lily got WAY too friendly in public places, and Nate and Vanessa got screen time.

It college acceptance time, and apparently Yale emails acceptance letters now. We're surprised they just don't send the list to Gossip Girl and cut out the middleman. Serena is accepted, but Blair's wait-listed, which sends her into a tizzy. She lashes out at Rachel, the new, ridiculously young teacher, who had the temerity to give Blair a B. Horrors! that leads to a double-cross involving opera, and eventually detention for Blair. This means war!

Meanwhile, Serena is torn about Yale, and eventually turns it down -- without consulting Dan, which pisses him off. Chuck is beyond college -- he's already teaching Revenge Schemes 101 as he tries to destroy Jack. But it's Lily who comes up with the winning strategy -- if she adopts Chuck, she becomes his legal guardian and Jack is out. Jack does not take kindly to this, and assaults Lily in the powder room at the Metropolitan Opera. Chuck saves her, and agrees to be part of her family.

Listen in while we chastise Rufus and Lily for flagrant PDA despite Bart's very recent death (tacky!) and take Blair to task for regressing to her headband days. We contemplate Eric's brief presence, wonder what happened to Nate's hair, applaud Chuck's ingenuity and his switch from date rapist to defender of women, and debate whether Dan's reaction to Serena's decision was justified. Plus, find out who to talk to for vegan recipes!
