I mean there must be love in the New York air. You're engaged, Serena's found a new guy, Erik's found himself a boyfriend...
[Lily, Serena and Erik all are shocked by what Goergina had said]
[a bit confused] Oh, I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right?
What, you haven't met Serena's new guy?
Oh, you mean Erik? You didn't know he was dating someone? I didn't think it was a secret, I mean, I saw them kissing in front of St Jude's this morning for the world to see. [Erik looking uncomfortable while Georgina gladly reveals the secret]Well, don't look so embarassed, E, he is a hot piece. Well done!
Serena
Please, Georgina, it's not funny, okay?
Oh! Um, you didn't know Erik was dating a boy?
That doesn't make any sense because that would mean... that Erik is... and he's not, [sighs uncomfortably] he's just not.
[close up of Erik who is lost for words]
Are you? [realising that Georgina was telling the truth] God...
[Erik see his mother's disappointment and runs off]
Serena
Erik! [sighs] Great, Mom, that's just great. [Serena looks to Georgina] How dare you?!
[Georgina looks innocent as if she has done nothing wrong]
Serena
Dan puts me on a pedestal. If he knew the truth he would never look at me again.
You're starting to scare even me. What did you do?
We've seen you with vomit in your hair, making out with investment bankers in the men's room at PJ Clarks. You don't have to hide anything from us.
She's right, Serena, I mean none of us are saints.
Yeah. [points back at Chuck] I had sex with him in the back of a limo.
I had sex with you, at a wedding while I was her date. [looks at Chuck] Once.
[Blair looks back at Chuck waiting for him to say something to comfort Serena]
You can tell us anything. [Serena shakes her head] We don't judge. We're the non-judging Breakfast Club. We're your best friends. Anything you do is something we did too.
[Serena looks at Blair, Nate and Chuck]
Serena
If I tell you, it can never leave this room.
Serena
Well, something happened the night of the Shepards' wedding.
I think we're all aware of what happened that night.
Serena
No, something else. Something I've tried to escape but Georgina won't let me. And now she's blackmailing me.
[shocked] Blackmailing you?
Serena
Well, it started when Blair thought you and I had too much to drink. She told us to get some air, go outside, sober up.
[FLASHBACK - In the bar with Nate at the Shepards' Wedding]
Serena
If the happy couple didn't want the cashier for the premium bar, they should have made it BYOB.
[PRESENT]
Serena
Instead, we ended up in the bar and I opened that bottle of champagne and we... well...
We can skip that part, okay?
Go ahead, I'll fill her in later.
Serena
I left in a hurry. I felt so terrible, so guilty for what I'd just done. I just... I had to get out of there.
[FLASHBACK - Serena calling for a cab]
Serena
[to the cab driver] East Hill Hotel, please.
[PRESENT]
Serena
Georgina and I had plans to meet up after, so I headed straight to her... little did I know, she had a surprise waiting for me.
What about all those rumors about you and Nate?
Serena
Mmm mmm. Not true. They just got people off my back so I could stop being sad, and Nate could go do whatever he wants, so it worked out for both of us.
You mean you haven't had ANY fun with anyone all summer?
Serena
There's this hot lifeguard that asked me out, but I, you know, I turned him down
A hot lifeguard is like kleenex! Use once and throw away. You couldn't ask for a better rebound!
Serena
Blair will never forgive you for what you did to her.
Who told you that little piece of advice, your boyfriend Nate?
Serena
Nate didn't say anything ...
Good. I don't think it's wise taking relationship advice from someone in a FAKE relationship. Call me crazy. [pause] Enjoy another night alone with your thoughts.
Serena
Good luck on your suicide mission!
Serena
Well, if you can't find common ground with a dictator, I don't know who can.
Dan likes soccer, right? Or football, as Marcus calls it? Think it would be too weird if he came?
Serena
Not... necessarily ...
Serena
Does this mean you actually think Dan has a redeeming quality?
As long as knows his arse from his Arsenal, I think he's aces.
Serena: I'm sorry, I'm not laughing. It's just so obvious. You're not over Blair. This is your body's way of telling you!
I don't have a romantic bone in my body. Least of all that one. But you do raise an interesting idea. Clearly there's some kind of ... blockage.[Pauses] Perhaps ...
Serena
No!
One more go-around, just to clear the pipes.
Serena
You are not using Blair as sexual Drano!
