Nate Thinks: Juliet Doesn't Live Here Anymore

This week, Nate thought a lot. He thought about how to properly scheme (and naturally effed it up by choosing poor Brooklyn Pig Pen as his partner in crime); he thought about love when Evil!Serena (aka Waserena aka Juliet) told him she loved him but was very, very poor (Nate understands because he was poor and Brooklyn Pig Pen is poor, too. He thought a lot about that). Then he thought about the ballet, which was mostly just confusing and fluffy for Nate.

But the crowning moment of tonight's episode of Nate Thinks: Juliet Doesn't Live Here Anymore came when Nate ran into Chuck on the street. Chuck, as is his forte, was involved in a sexy cycle with his paramour (Blair "the Spanish armada" Waldorf). Unfortunately, Chuck's sexy cycle was to remain a sexy secret, so when Chuck spied his paramour as she sauntered by, Chuck grappled for an elaborate cover up. Then he realized he was talking to Nate.

Chuck: I left my blackberry in the car.
Nate: You're holding it?
Chuck: Then i need another latte.* I'll see you around.  

Then Chuck walks away. Nate doesn't turn around. Nate doesn't ask any further questions. Nate doesn't even stop to feel sad that Chuck did not say goodbye. Nate just shrugs and walk away.

I guess what I am most grateful for is that Nate has never been trapped in an actual Nemesis situation with Chuck. Because Nate would die.







*Chuck does not actually say latte. I have no idea what he says. I have watched the episode twice now, and I still don't know what he says. I give up.
