(S01E17) "We're here to help Serena no matter what the problem is." - Blair

After a "wow" episode last week, expectations (at least mine) for this week were pretty high. I had loads of questions about the video and hoped that answers would be giving in "Woman on the Verge." The episode definitely met my expectations and set the scene for what could be an action and drama packed season finale next week.

What I liked most about this week's episode is the "no matter what" friendship seen between Chuck, Nate, Blair and Serena. They were able to put their problems aside and work together. As the saying says, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." The quartet definitely proved that saying this week.

You know, it's been almost four months since I interviewed Lisa Loeb for this very site, and to this day people who've read it continue to say to me the same thing: "Dude, she sounded like she was interested! Why didn't you ask her out?"

To which I always respond: "Dude, I was being a professional! How creepy would it have been, dude, to finish the interview by asking her out on a date? Pretty damn creepy. Dude."

Now, I'm starting to wonder if I should have taken a shot. At least that's what I'm thinking after reading this Orlando Sentinel interview with Loeb from last month. Turns out that, despite finding someone to spend time with at the end of her E! reality dating show #1 Single, she decided to break up with him and go back to L.A. to "concentrate on her career."
