I was about the same age as the the actors who played the students at "Eastland" back then. I was just watching a rerun this morning, and the irony of the lesson of the episode would be lost on 45. Blair if anyone remembers, was the rich spoiled girl, but not a total douche, convinced Natalie to buy expensive beauty kits she could not afford, which in turn lead Natalie to lie to her mother to cover the money she should have spent on school supplies. Kinda like 45's lying to his "university" investors with high pressure sales pitches to even people they knew couldn't afford it. Ms Garrett told Blair success was ok, but not if it meant stepping on people and hurting them. Blair understood and apologized and refunded Natalie's money.
As an aside, my favorite character was Jo Polniachek whom didn't take shit from anyone. Having been bullied, I wanted to be tough like her.
