This episode ought to have been nothing but frothy fun. Puppies! Pretty dresses! The last lovely days of a New York summer! But, unfortunately our heroes were not at their best this week. Everyone was either lying, cheating, or dumping a real estate mogul to move back to France. As ye sow, so shall ye reap, and not one of the gang was in a good place at the end of the ep. Let us count down the misery.

Sad
Nate is all dorkily into new girlfriend Juliet — for the 30 seconds at a time he gets to see her. She won’t take him home with her, she keeps ditching him, and the Juliet thread on Gossip Girl is starting to reveal her lies. Nate thinks it’s because she’s dating someone else — even after Jenny last season, Nate can’t see the crazy eyes when they’re headed his way — and he spies an incriminating text message on her phone from “Ben.” Juliet says Ben is her brother and that he’s “troubled,” but doesn’t explain that he troubled someone enough to land him in the slammer. Nate forgives her and they head home to her apartment — which, it turns out, she’s squatting in illegally with the help of a shady doorman. Watch out, Nate! Yet another mentally unbalanced blonde has got you trapped in her web.

Sadder
Everyone is tiptoeing around Dan because he lost his baby — especially would-be stepmom Vanessa. But Dan appears to be relishing his new found freedom, and decides to celebrate by being a complete jerkwad. After ditching Vanessa and lying about his whereabouts, he heads over to Serena’s, where the two of them indulge in a little emotional adultery. Though Nate tries to cover for Dan’s MIA-ness, Vanessa did not just fall off the organic locally-grown turnip truck — she tracks him down and confronts them, urging Dan to check before he goes rabbiting off after Serena that she actually wants to be caught. After witnessing a moment between Serena and Nate, Dan decides that V’s right and goes home to the loft with her, leaving Serena alone once again.

Saddest
Blair is going insane over Chuck and Eva the Wonder Couple, and it’s no wonder: They’re being sickeningly sweet to each other, he’s donating to charities all over town in her name, and — horror of horrors! — he buys her more expensive presents than he bought Blair. B soon decides that Eva must be a whore who’s after Chuck’s money — both of which turn out to be true, technically. B catches Eva selling one of Chuck’s gifts, but only to help out a needy friend. And when that only makes Chuck love Eva more, Blair digs deeper, learning that Eva was once a prostitute. When Chuck takes that, too, in stride, Blair pulls out the big guns: lying. She palms Chuck’s passport, and claims that Eva had it all along, proving that she was lying about not knowing who “Henry” was. An unusually half-baked scheme for the normally dastardly B — because Lily soon tells Chuck the truth. But not before the lie manages to uncouple the Wonder Couple. A hurt Eva flees back to the Continent, and Chuck declares all-out war on Blair. This should get good.
