Lily finds out that Bart has been keeping private detective files on eveyone in his family including the kids after Eric finds them. She gets really upset about it and decides to spend thanksgiving with the Humphreys. Vanessa ends up telling Nate that she didn’t want him to leave after he almost did following after his fugitive father and they end up making plans to hang out again.
Vanessa makes up with Jenny at thanksgiving dinner for kissing Nate,but that’s quickly sort of dappened by her finding a very affectionate letter sent to Jenny by Nate on the kitchen table. She ends up reading and then hiding the letter from Jenny.
My take : This was another well put together episode . The writers always keep something going on on every character. I love how they had Vanessa and Jenny make up,but then slip another little twist in there with the Nate letter just to keep that little spark of animosity going. It’s just genious. I can also just sense each of the relationships on this show are held together by very thin thread-just ready to unravel at anytime. Also that Lily marriage to Bart Bass is a freaking joke and I think we all know it. It’s sure to unravel eventually.
