When B and Eleanor get home, Cyrus is sitting... With Harold! B wigs out and they embrace each other fiercely, and he apologizes for not getting their earlier, and then with all her characteristic bluntness and deep inner seriousness going full throttle, she shouts "This is the surprise? I thought you were getting engaged!" The whole crowd murmurs and Eleanor giggles, because fucking that up was the most Blair thing Blair's ever done, and she says yes, that she wanted Harold to vet Cyrus first because he's going to be her stepfather, and Harold gets right of approval on that. Harold and Cyrus are totally cute during all this. Cyrus calls for a celebration, and Dorota hands Harold a huge picnic basket containing a pie the size of a hubcap, and asks B if she wants some before dinner. "I guess I'm ready for a new tradition," Blair says, and her dad grins like that made any sense whatsoever.
Rufus and Dan return to DUMBO, sad that Jenny didn't come home even though they knew their hope was in vain, but it turns out she did come home ("I don't want to not be your daughter," she says tearfully, while ripping up the emancipation papers) and then they all group hug each other so hard their Humphreyness threatens to burst out and drench the loft.
Aaron comes to the Bass apartment and finds Serena, sad and exposed on the bed, but quickly tells her that he is not interested in reading the file. Serena's like, "Seriously, it's a lot of information and it's probably more time-effective if you just read it," but Aaron says some shit about how she can just tell him whatever she wants and that he wants to know her and whatever, and then kisses her. She's got a giant scary eyeball painting on her wall ever since Lily redecorated, and at first I thought it was just fucked up and ugly and would mean less sleep for the people in the room, but honestly: can you think of a better set dressing decision than a giant eyeball staring at her? Every single character on this show should have a giant eyeball painting on their wall.
