This was a pretty good episode. A lot of interesting things have happened. There is the whole struggle between students and their parents about which school they will be going to, pretty realistic. Competition between students. Very nice of Nate to do what he did for Dan who deserves to get into his dream school. The greatest part were the rivalry between Blair and Serena. I like the conversation between Eric and Blair. One could see how she regretted what she did. This was the part where she showed her human side. And especially in her conversation with Serena. She has also unintentionally done Serena a favor since Dan made up with her.
