Serena is overwhelmed to have her father back in the picture, after searching for him for so long, and does not know what to think. On her way to Nate's, she bumps into Jenny who had spent the night at Nate's after playing games all night. She's startled and annoyed that Jenny spent the night.

Chuck, newly single and looking for distractions wants Nate back, free of obligations, and decides to advise Jenny on how to break up Serena and Nate. On Chuck's advice, Jenny plants one of Nate's shirts in her bag for Serena to see. Serena sees the shirt and is angry at Nate, and doesn't tell him about her mum.

Vanessa has earned admission to a writing program that Dan was rejected from. Dan and Vanessa attend an art party in Brooklyn that Chuck, Nate, Jenny and Blair go to as well. Chuck brings Nate there to help cheer him up about Serena, inviting Jenny along in the hopes of them getting together which would mean Nate and Serena would break-up, and Chuck would get more time with his best friend.
