Hey Memphis! We have another juicy episode of our favorite show to chat about! It featured a series of flashbacks!
It started with a flashback to Thanksgiving last year. Dan rushes to save a drunk Serena from getting hit by a car! Who would have thought one year later they would be spending the holiday together!
Serena confronted B about Chuck. B became furious, kicked S out and uninvited her to Thanksgiving dinner. That's where Dan stepped in and invited S's entire family to dine at the Humphrey residence. Little did Lily know Mrs. Humphrey was back in town. Dinner got a little uncomfortable once the kids realized Lily & Rufus have a steamy past. Mrs. Humphrey got angry and jealous and stormed out. She gave Rufus and ultimatum: her or Lily. Rufus chose her.
Meanwhile, B had a breakdown at Thanksgiving dinner. She realized her mother lied about why her father wasn't going to return home from Paris for the holiday. Eleanor called B's dad and told daddy that B didn't want to see him. B lost it at dinner, and reverted back to her bulimic ways. B called Serena for support--and S rushed over to help. In the end, B & her mom patched things up. B realized how devastated her mom was to lose her dad to a man and forgave her for the lie. She also promised S that she would see her doctor about her eating disorder relapse.
Things didn't go well in the Archibald household either. Nate's mom couldn't stop criticizing his dad over all of the legal drama. She's been virtually blacklisted in her social circle. The pressure was too much for Nate's dad to handle on a holiday, so he overdosed on pills and booze. Nate is the one who found him lying on the floor. Nate had an emotional talk with Dad in the hospital, telling him his family needs him.
So, in this episode we learned B once had an eating disorder, Rufus is sticking with his wife despite his obvious feelings for Lily and Nate is working hard to keep his family together. Next week looks juicy! It's the annual Cotillion Ball and apparently someone gets punched!
