Who can’t see this?
The title of this episode should have been The Return of Blair, our own personal Jedi. We now understand why Blair has been so lame on every episode this fall; it’s all been a set-up for her ultimate comeback. It does not seem like the absolute best moment for Blair to start marketing headbands to high schoolers since Sage has clearly demonstrated they now all wear hats …. However this is setting up the stage for the power couple we knew was coming: Sage + Blair.

Pop it Dan!

Questions:
- Who would win in a hands only fight between Lily vs Ivy?
- How come Chuck just didn’t rip the envelope off the back of the painting instead of paying 1.1 Mil?
- Does Ivy’s hair look better curly or straight?
