Right, first things first- I hated this episode. The fashion was off, the storylines were ridiculous and it just seemed like no-one had a clue what was going on. Welcome to 2.17- Carrnal Knowledge.
To be fair it wasn't all bad, as we got to see Queen B doing some manual labour at the beginning of the episode, or should I say bark orders at Dorota while plotting ways to take down Miss Carr. Again.
I loved her red coat and brogue combo here, as she looked a picture of innocence fluttering her eyelashes at her dad, who for some unbeknown reason, thinks Blair is a nice and honest person.
Something which really tickled me pink this episode, was Harold's wardrobe as he looks just like a grown-up version of Chuck, in a lilac shirt and golf jumper, and considering Harold is something of a gay icon, perhaps Chuck really is hiding in the closet. Just a suggestion!
Speaking of Chuck, he was given the most ludicrous storyline this week, which actually made me want to vomit and you know how I love the young Bass.
Waking up in a hotel room, dazed and drugged he starts to have flashbacks of the night before, which apparently included scantily clad women and masks.
Wearing his trademark purple shirt, the poor boy looks very confused as he rings Nate for help, possibly also to ask him if he's seen the rest of his hair, as C seems to have been scalped since we last saw him.
From one train wreck to another this week, we're introduced to Dan and Miss Carr having coffee, you know as you do. She doesn't teach him, or really have anything to do with him, and yet they are bosom buddies talking about poetry. Yawn.
When Serena arrives on the scene to meet Miss C (seriously, how sad are these students?!) she's shocked to see her boyf getting cosy with the baby-faced teacher. Her cute white cardigan and sad grey coat just set off how young she looks, while S on the other hand looks mature and chic in a stunning black cape.
Back to Chuck, and Nate and Vanessa have arrived on the scene to help him piece together the most boring mystery ever created. Vanessa's lime green jeans made my eyes hurt, while Chuck's midnight blue velvet suit was a bit too cad-like even for him, and Nate? well, he was just in his school uniform as always.
As C goes on to practically declare his love for this mystery woman, I actually had the urge to throw something at the TV. He can't tell Blair he loves her, yet he can become infatuated in a heartbeat thanks to someone in a suspender belt. Yes, I know he's 17, but the fact that he's lusting after a mystery nanny by day, and whore by night is just ridiculous.
Speaking of ridiculous, Blair has now completed her detention successfully and wants to take Miss Carr down, for daring to put her in her place. She gives her minions a rousing and quite hilarious speech until they all agree to help.
The Minions Plot Against Miss Carr
Now, the minions rarely get some fab fashion to rival S and B, but this episode it was like an array of colours burst onto the screen. Pink, purple, blue and yellow all topped off with frilly collars and patterned tights.
Their leader on the other hand, went for neutral tones under her red coat, opting for a stunning beige bow cardigan, bow tie and shimmery skirt combo, which made her look eerily like Audrey Hepburn.
So, back to the plotting and we're treated to Dorota sneaking around the school with sunglasses and a bag of mobile phones, after Miss C convinced the headmistress to ban them during school hours. How much power does this one little teacher have?!
Well, quite a lot as we'll discover later, but for the time being Blair decides to post a rumour about Miss C and a certain student having an affair, never mind what it will do to her BFF's already fragile relationship with the boy in question.
