I’m rewatching the show and realized that S1E5 has always been my favorite episode. The sleepover, the jailbreak, Dan and Serena’s first real date, truth or dare, Blair kissing the random Wall street guy and on top of that Jenny starting her rise by stealing the jacket. We also got some genuinely good adult plot with Lily and Rufus cooking together.

It’s one of the few episodes where they actually feel like real high schoolers and not just mini adults. Blair kissing a random guy? That would never happen in later episodes but i love this carefree side of her.

Plus, the music is great, and the New York night scenes give the episode a cool vibe.

Just wanted to appreciate this episode a little. What are your favorite “feel-good” episodes?
