Little J sees that Blair is in a funk over Serena, at which point she actually tries to cheer B up.  It doesn't work particularly well, but at least she tries.  Eleanor soon shows up and tells J that she's a total Eve Harrington (All About Eve reference for the win!), but she takes Jenny's advice when she tells her to go ahead and take credit for the dress.  The crowd loved it, and now all the kudos will go to Eleanor.  While Eleanor takes a bow, Bart confronts Lily about some scandalous secret from her past.  He doesn't specify what it is, but he knows it's something so terrible that she wouldn't want her children to know about it.

Chuck finds some of Dan's notes and is pissed that Humphrey has been writing about him.  He immediately terminates their bromance, tells Dan he can rot in jail, and also explains that his mother died in a plane crash when he was six-years-old.  I guess that's a little less depressing than the whole dying in childbirth thing, but Chuck is likely lying about the crash.  D calls Mr. Adviser to bail him out instead, and also explains that he has no desire to use Charlie Trout's tale for his writing.  He's going to write about an egomaniacal, washed-up writer instead.  Someone like Lucas Scott, perhaps?

Rufus (Matthew Settle) heads to Fashion Week planning to ground J until she's 30, but all is forgiven when he sees how she saved Eleanor's show.  Okay, that's a lie.  All is forgiven for about five seconds, until J admits that she told the headmistress she's not planning to go back to school. EVER.  Now she's going to be grounded until she's 67.  As the episode comes to an end, Serena tells B to get over herself.  She's tired of holding herself back and dealing with Blair's insecurities, so she's going to shine as bright as she wants and force B to deal with it.  I think we can officially refer to her as Evil Serena now.
