Oh wait, this is pretty dumb too. Blair invites visiting lady over for a visit and they have her favorite tea, Earl Grey, which is like saying "my favorite tea is tea-flavored tea," and Blair starts in going, "That sucks that you got dumped by your husband because you're a woman in power." And lady is like, "Facile as that is, it is also true. I am a lonely spinster bluestocking stereotype who like Martha Stewart has sold off that last piece of my feminine softness that would attract a man, and so I am lonely." And Blair is like, "Short fat Jews are the answer!" And the lady is like, "You don't see many of those in academia. Perhaps you could introduce me to one? And then I will not be lonely. Maybe my shriveled womb could finally get started on gestating some sperms and then I could stop all this businesswoman nonsense, finally fulfilled. Next pie recipe I brand is gonna be served up naked in a frilly apron. I can't wait to start taking pills."
Serena runs downstairs to her one lone taxicab, praying that it will get her to office hours on time. But guess who is there? Dr. Teeth and his latest conquest, a flight attendant. She yells at him about how she is about to fail college for her inability to locate college and go there, and that this is his fault. He suggests that they kiss each other on the mouth, and she quirks her gorgeous self at him: "You put a different girl into a cab every day. If you think I would ever be one of them, you are out of your mind."
However if it were a Vespa, I would climb onto your body. Kind of a weird message to send in the middle of this episode: Self-respect means not worrying about other people's judgments of your sexual partners! But self-respect also means judging other people for their sexual partners! Anyway, it turns out these little meetings of theirs where he chips daily away at her collegiate legitimacy are arranged for his own perverse pleasure. Which is the only thing that could make this dumber. It's the kind of coincidence where both parties have to consciously act in a way that makes it happen, which is no coincidence at all.
