This week’s episode of Gossip Girl was focused on Tripp’s campaign of becoming a NY congressman. The Vanderbilts found themselves in some political hot water when a little rescue on the Hudson River went awry.  But Nate’s family weren’t the only ones involved in politics. Blair and Serena got into some mudslinging of their own. Let’s recap this week’s events on Gossip Girl:

The Claws Come Out
The tension between Serena and Blair continued, as the former BFFs refused to apologize to one another for last week’s betrayals. We haven’t seen a battle between these two since Season 2, so you know a good one had to be coming our way. This week’s catfight did not disappoint. You had it all. There was name-calling, backstabbing, one-upping, and cake pushing (so hilarious when S pushed B into that cake). Chuck had it right when he called out Serena on her immaturity. Blair, on the other hand, started to show some maturity when she explained how Serena was drifting away from the people most important to her and was selling herself out by putting up with that PR job (calling S a prostitute was a bit too harsh, though). It looked like Serena took what some of Blair said to heart when she dumped her phony RPatzz-inspired boo and told KC that she quit. But Serena’s efforts might’ve been too little too late, as the status of her and Blair’s friendship was up in the air.

Dirty Politics
We haven’t seen much of Nate this season, so putting the Vanderbilt campaign front and center was a nice change of pace. Okay, so this political storyline may have been sort of dull, but, hey, it’s better than seeing Nate whore himself out again or not seeing him at all. It’s surprising to see Nate take all this political stuff so seriously. He was even willing to deal Vanessa a low blow to ensure Tripp’s victory. At first, I thought Nate might’ve been behind the Hudson River hoax, but it turns out that Tripp’s wife was the scheming mastermind. Who knew? I guess she’s not just some harmless trophy wife, after all. We’ll have to keep an eye out on her. But we’ll also have to keep an eye out on Tripp. What was that ending sequence between Serena and Tripp all about? Tripp hasn’t even started his job as a congressman, but it already looks like he might be involved in another scandal.

Bathroom Boy
Who else was let down by this whole “bathroom boy” story? With all of the build-up, I was expecting a totally mortifying story about Dan, but all of the hubbub turned out to be about a spider and an inside-out shirt. Yawn. Well, at least we got to some Jimmy Fallon in the mix.

This week’s episode was a little lukewarm, but things should heat up on the next episode, especially with the highly-anticipated THREESOME about to go down. Catch Gossip Girl on Mondays @ 9PM on the CW 44Cable12.
