We know we shouldn't be disturbed by inconsiderate behavior anymore on Gossip Girl, but the episode bugged us! Yeah, yeah, running off and maybe married/lying about a cater-waiter job/trying ti manipulate your boyfriend to go to the school his grandfather chooses/banging a ballerina.... we're used to that. But hijacking a Seder and a rehearsal dinner to air your own grievances? That's just not right!

Serena's back from Spain, and she's kind of freaking out -- she maybe kind of a little might be married, and to her "friend" Poppy's boyfriend. Our vacations don't tend to go like that... While she's trying to figure out if she needs an annulment, Blair is trying to cement her place in society by sucking up to Tripp's fiancee. Alas, it doesn't work -- "It takes a while to matter," Maureen tells Blair. But Nate's grandfather tells Blair she can get all the social points she wants -- IF she convinces Nate to go to Yale instead of Columbia. Meanwhile, Jenny has a date, which is interrupted by Chuck's mostly naked date, and Dan decides he needs to make some money to pay for Yale.

Most of the players end up at Cyrus' Seder -- which they RUIN! Seriously, folks, it's NOT ABOUT YOU! Sigh. There's lots of cross talk as Dan tries to disguise the fact he's a cater-waiter, Gabriel tries to talk to Serena, Serena tries to pass of Dan as her boyfriend, Lily tries to figure out what's going on with Serena, Rufus tries to figure out what's going on, and Cyrus and his mom try to remind people that HELLO! religious occasion! You think you might pay attention? Sigh. And Nate decides to ruin another social occasion by using his Best Man's toast to chew out his grandfather for turning The Captain in to the SEC. Seriously --- what's WRONG with these people?

The only people NOT behaving badly are Jenny and (shockingly) Chuck -- who finally apologizes to Jenny for that whole date rape thing from the first season. Remember that, when Chuck as a genuinely dangerous guy ad not just a lovable cad? Chuck tells Nate to think about what happened with Blair, and Gabriel tells Serena that they're not really married... so all is well, right? Well, maybe... Gabriel and Poppy seem to be back together at the end of the episode. What's going on?

Find out who WE think should be a cater-waiter, listen to us speculate on the miraculous properties of Cyrus' brisket and kosher wine, discover what really got people's juices flowing, and learn how WE think Nate got into Columbia.
