Inglourious Bassterds



Inglourious Bassterds is the 17th episode of Season 3 of Gossip Girl.

Summary
Serena is planning a surprise birthday party for Nate and decides the perfect way to make it a complete surprise is to instruct everyone to pretend to forget Nate's birthday so that he'll be even happier when he comes and sees his party. Jenny, who has been crushing on Nate ever since he rescued her, decides to use this opportunity to spend the whole day with dejected Nate.

When Nate arrives late to his birthday party, Serena is surprised and displeased that he spent the whole day with Jenny. Nate is happy about the party until Jenny kisses him during a game of Assassins, and he reminds her that they are just friends and that he loves Serena.

Having lost the hotel to Jack, Chuck pushes Blair away and sinks into a deep depression. As Blair tries to comfort him, Chuck says that all hope is lost. She goes to speak with Jack, who tells her that he will give the hotel back to Chuck if she spends the night with him. Disgusted, Blair leaves but seeing Chuck so defeated changes her mind and agrees to have sex with Jack.

When Blair arrives at Jack's room, they kiss but he tells her that she doesn't have to sleep with him; it was all a ruse to break Chuck down even further. Jack also informs Blair that he and Chuck had struck a deal: Blair for the hotel. A disbelieving Blair leaves to confront Chuck, who tells her it's true and blames her for going to Jack on her own. Blair leaves Chuck after slapping him, completely heartbroken.
