Blair at first doesn’t think she would stoop that low,but then Vanessa makes sure that Blair knows that well maybe she should.Meanwhile Chuck reveals to Serena that the only reason why they have these new family rules is because his dad, Bart wants to impress some business people. Serena then takes that as an excuss to act up, and I must say she is very good at it.

Now, we see Serena and Blair having lunch and then Eric shows up with his new boyfriend, Jonathan.
