Fenton's Party


When I first saw this I assumed that Fenton gave Serena a date rape drug and told her it was cocaine. But I just saw this again and noticed just before they went in his room, they were up on the roof and he gave her a pill. Which was the date rape drug? I am confused, had she already taken a Mickey Finn when he pulled out the white powder? Or was that the date rape drug? How would he explain not taking any himself, it must have worked really fast or she would get suspicious.

Not withstanding the date rape, Fenton did have pretty good taste, did you see how fancy that place was decorated with the bar, the lighting, layout, music and all. It was a shame he turned out to be such a creep because it looked like we were finally going to have an interesting character who had his act together instead of losers like that Tommy and the bum who lived in a cellar. I guess that was the point of the movie, Serena found out that all that glitters isn't gold and she was out of her league.

It's my understanding that Serena lied about it being Fenton's party over the phone to Jen. Serena needed Jen's help because she fell flat on her ass out in NY. This would explain why Jen says "Fenton isn't even here". Also when Jen and Serena first saw the rapist, they referred to him just as a cute blonde. Most likely Serena and Jen both knew what Fenton looked like, so it wouldn't make sense for them not to recognize him.

Fenton is, according to David, a devil worshiper and creepy rocker. The party itself certainly did not appear to have those elements. I think Serena made the whole thing up about it being Fenton's party. This was probably some random guy's party she heard about and just sold it to Jen to cover her real motives.

In answer to your question, the pill was most definitely responsible for her getting sick and passing out.
