"I'm sure Mojo JoJo will be there," Audrey snarks. Heh. I wish I'd thought of that one. Point to the writers. Jen points out if Audrey can live in a dorm room with Joey, than she can surely handle a concert with her. "She's bringing that guy, right?" Audrey asks. Jen confirms that she is, but promises Audrey that they don't have to sit next to them. "We're using the gays as a barrier between the breeders and the bitter single girls," she explains. "So, are they, like, dating now?" Audrey sneers. Jen giggles that Audrey wants the gossip so bad that it's killing her. "I don't want the gossip," Audrey yelps. "I don't know, I just want to hear that she has a pimple or something." That has got to be a crack about all of the zits Busy Philipps has been sporting lately. Although her skin looks fine here. "I want there to be one tiny little chink in her armor of perfection. I mean, has that girl ever made a mistake, like, ever?" Audrey asks. Jen smiles woefully. "Yeah, actually, she made the same one that you did: she dumped Pacey," Jen says. Wait, I thought Pacey dumped Joey. Did I hallucinate that? I mean, it was sort of Joey's…oh, let's not go there again. Audrey says that she heard my version. "Oh, whatever," Jen says. "Who knows, who cares? The important thing is that they're still friends. Like us." Girl, please. Jack and Jen gossiped about the Joey and Pacey breakup ad nauseam, as all of my friends and I have discussed our breakups and the breakups of our friends. Everyone knows everyone else's horrible stories by heart. People care about that kind of dirt. "Mean that?" Audrey asks. "Yeah," Jen smiles. And Audrey agrees to grace them with her presence. Jen squeals with glee, then turns around and runs right into Blandy Blands.
"Oh, hi," she says, cueing the awkward looks and embarrassed greetings from all three of them. Jen finally tells him that she doesn't want to pretend that nothing happened between then, but she also doesn't want to make a big deal out of what did happen. Blandy hems and haws, and so Jen just up and gives him a ticket to the concert. Oh, Contrivance! How I've missed you. I heard you've been staying at Shack's. Jen assures Blandy that TGED and Jack and a whole bunch of other people are coming, too, so it's not like it's a date. Blandy and Audrey exchange awkward looks. "I didn't think it was," Blandy tells Jen. "Come if you want," Jen finishes, and turns to go, telling Audrey that she'll pick her up at seven. "No bailing, okay?" She leaves. I thought she and Audrey had gone shopping together, which makes Jen's leaving in the midst of their outing rather odd, but whatever. Blandy leans against the counter and asks Audrey if she was ever going to call him back. "I think the answer to that would be fairly obvious," Audrey snaps, and storms off. Blandy follows her.
