Oh my God! Can you say: "Corruption of the young, the very young" ?

Warning: Spoilers
Okay total spoiler, but this episode, wow. There's a scene where the Evil Wicked Witch Temptress, Blair, basically bribes young innocent 14 year old Jenny (not that she looks it, bounce-bounce, jingle-jingle) with a blue dress to add Jenny to her stall of minions. Jenny goes over to Blairs house (BTW, how good is security of the rich and bitchy, if all these people just come walking in, one wonders? Then again, young blonde girls, not exactly Al Queda, not since Marie Warner anyway, but I digress), basically to suck up to the Evil Temptress and to, this is where it gets weird, to ask if the boy Chuck who assaulted her the night before, has asked about her? Blair puts things in motion, which remind us of Dangerous Liasons, or better yet, Cruel Intentions, only that last one wasn't so ... perverted? Cruel Intentions definitely looks a tat more wholesome than this story arc, which you know, will end up in Jenny winding up in Chucks bed, after being manipulated in it by Blair into believing that this is what she really wants. Or that this is the price to pay for belonging ...

The tells are there, Blairs caution to Jenny that "in this world you will get talked about" and Jennys (more or less perverted) admission to Blair that she "also doesn't have a problem with someone who has a problem with Serena" ....

Oh my, it's getting very very dark in here
