It's a Blackout or: How I Learned to Start Liking the Dark and Stop Loving the Girl

So in last night's episode Nate is torn between Nessa and Cougar. He needs to stay with Cougar because she's giving him money to help out his family, so technically Nate's a gigolo. Cougar also knows where Nate's fugitive father is because Nate is stupid and told her. They all go to a party at Blair's house and Nate comes clean to Nessa about Cougar. There is a blackout so they get seperated. During that time, Cougar finds Nessa and tells her that if Nessa doesn't break up with Nate, Cougar will tell the Feds where Nate's dad is. So Nessa breaks it off with Nate, telling him that he needs to be with Cougar because Cougar loves him.

Also during the blackout, Chuck (or as I call him, Perfection) follows Blair up to her room and gets it on with her in the dark. Blair's boyfriend Lord Bland walks in on them when the lights come back on and asks her if she honestly didn't know it was Perfection she was smooching. Blair confesses that she knew it was Perfection but that she really wants Bland. I can't remember if they broke up or not. Bland also punched Perfection in the face, but he didn't even bruise! That's because you can't mess with Perfection.

Boring and Boring (Dan and Serena) are officially back together and they don't do anything but boring stuff. But they both know that it won't work unless they address the reasons they broke up before. They both boringly avoid the topic because they like making out in a dull manner. On the way to Blair's party they get stuck in an elevator. Boring the Boy calls maintenance to tell them they're stuck, but he only says, "Hi, I'm Boring the Boy, and we're stuck in the elevator". Then Boring the Girl says, "You should've said you were stuck in here with Boring the Girl". Then Boring the Boy says, "Oh, so Boring the Boy isn't important enough to be saved from the elevator unless he's with Boring the Girl? Huh? Is that how it is?" That leads to a fight that brings up how different they are. When the power comes back on Boring the Girl gets off the elevator and they are officially broken up. Yea!
