This week Gossip Girl was a bit of a numbers game. Jenny faced the devastating prospect of possibly making her society debut solo, and two people who were in a major fight found themselves trapped in an elevator together. And then there was that little matter of a much-hyped threesome that finally took place.
Alone at Cotillion
Gossip Girl made a witty observation comparing the gathering of the heads of each Upper East Side school as a meeting of La Cosa Nostra. Little J entered this meeting the picture of confidence, but she was hiding her insecurity: Deep down, she still felt like little Jenny Humphrey from Brooklyn. (We later found out that the committee only allowed her to make her debut after Lily pulled a lot of strings.) It didn't help matters that Jenny had zero experience with ballroom dancing, while the other girls had years. So Jenny sought to remedy all her woes by securing a powerful date to the cotillion: Graham Collins. However, her minions were having trouble pinning him down.

The Jimmy Fallon Appearance
With so many intense plots going on in this episode, Dan and Olivia had a comic-relief story line. Olivia appeared on Jimmy Fallon's talk show without coaching from a publicist for the first time, and she was a little too open. She told a story about her first date with Dan and him coming back from the bathroom with his shirt on inside out. This led to Dan getting the embarrassing nickname "Bathroom Boy." However, Dan had no idea why people were calling him this because Olivia desperately tried to keep Dan from seeing the interview. The girl even spent five hours playing board games with Rufus, Lily and a sick Jenny, but in the end, Dan stumbled onto the interview online.
