Blair & Chuck- Trying to find a date for the ball enlists all of the male suitors at her school , but Blair always being up for a little competition , bets Chuck she can choose his date and vice versa, but Blair and Chuck find out they are the only one for each other when they find almost perfect replicas of themselves as each others dates, the still are trying to figure out why they can't just be in a relationship, "Were pulling for you"
Nate , Vanessa & Jenny - The love triangle of the show , Vanessa still does not tell Jenny that she has been seeing Nate , even though Jenny tells her she still has feelings for him , Vanessa also does not tell her that she stole the letter Nate sent her, Jenny later finds out via Gossip Girl that Vanessa and Nate are together , (their picture messaging kicks my phones ass!) so with help from the Blair wannabees Jenny seeks revenge giving Vanessa a sheer silver dress , one that if light hits they are gonna see a whole lot of you, Jenny arrives at the ball waiting for Vanessa's demise , when to her dismay and without knowing Nessa is going to break things off with Nate even though she really loves him ,but doesn't want to ruin her relationship with Jenny awwwww! , but it was too little to late Vanessa is humiliated at the ball and Nate gives her the letter but tells her she isn't the person he thought she was , leaving Poor Jenny friendless, again, but it looks like Nate and Vanessa are back on.
