As Blair prepares for her interview at Yale, she enlists Chuck’s help to take down her biggest competition - a girl named Kira who has been rumored to have slept with half of Skull and Bones. However, things take a turn when Kira reveals she has information about Chuck’s father and threatens to go public with it unless he backs off.
