(S02E10) “Bonfire of the Vanity”

Someone call the firemen, little J’s future just went up in flames.

After running away from home Jenny went to the only other lifestyle she knows, that of a rebel. Oh how quickly the innocent days pass by. New “angry” Jenny moves in with Agnes in the hopes of starting up her own line. Hmm, two teenage girls move in together in a life with no rules… sounds like a recipe for perfection right? Wrong. Quickly realizing that the immature Agnes was only going to slow her down Jenny takes on the line herself thus ruining a brief friendship/partnership and, more importantly, losing a bed.

As luck would have it her backer still had her back, but not without parental consent. With Daddy and Mommy H shaking their heads know it appears Jenny’s got something else in mind, good ol’ emancipation. Way to pull a Macauly Caulkin J. Does it really have to come to this?

Onto other, less thrilling news, Serena has become Aaron’s muse overnight. Too bad this artist likes his women several at a time. Toying with Serena’s sense of freedom he’s got her in his court for now, but I don’t expect that too late too long. S may not be a stickler for the rules, but she’s also not very good at sharing. Just ask Vanessa.

Birds of a feather flock together. Blair, also not a fan for sharing her prized possessions, attempts to get rid of Mama’s new BF Clyde. For a short little bald guy, Clyde sure does know how to win over a Waldorf woman. Knowing that girls just want to have fun presents Blair with a surprise visit from Cyndi Lauper and all is forgiven. For now at least.

Dan on the other hand, may not win acceptance nor forgiveness so easily. After coming just a stamp away from sealing his fate as the most hated Brooklyn boy out there, he actually managed to do some good. Holding off his New York Magazine article and instead sending in the copy of Chuck’s expose Papa Bass brings father and son close together. Who knew a short story could make such a big impact.

So will this Aaron the artist learn to paint a scene for two? Is Lil J out of both house and home? Can Cyrus pull off the title Mr. Waldorf? Does Dan deserve his five minutes of fame? Only time will tell.
