Gossip Girl: Bachelorette Gone Wild

I have to say, this episode made me love Gossip Girl again. I was lost for a little, but now I am found. Let's dig in.

Blair is having breakfast with Beatrice as they are discussing Blair's change of heart to have her back in the wedding party and to come to her bachelorette tonight. Serena has planned a classy night of dinner and drinks at a hotel. Boring. Beatrice has other ideas. She has been scheming with a priest of Monaco to get Blair drunk and reunite her with Chuck and stop the royal wedding.

Blair has been going to church to see her priest, but this Monaco priest steps in. Apparently him and Beatrice have been sleeping together and he wants to break up the royal couple as well. He tells Chuck that there has been a change of plans so that Chuck can show up and talk to her while she is inebriated. To do so, Beatrice makes a very American bachelorette party.

Meanwhile, Serena and Dan are pretending to be together as he has to buy super expensive UES coffee. He has a meeting with his publishers and wants to write something more serious. He tells Serena not to mention their current relationship in her new spectator column so that he can get a book deal. Chuck is spying on Blair as he follows her to Lauderee. "I know you are not buying a velour tracksuit" hahaha.

Nate has been talking to Gossip Girl via email. (I love how it says Gossip girl, what is the actual domain name? There are ways to trace identity people!) as she shows Nate a photo of Ivy's ex Max and then a photo of Tripp. Gossip girl thinks Trip rigged the car for Nate to crash. She tells him that she will give out this info if he stops the launch of Serena's blog. He does it and Serena looks through his laptop and sees his plan. His Secretary films the whole thing and sends to Gossip Girl. I guess she is back on top!

Serena, instead of being at the bachelorette party of her bestie, is staging a meeting with Tripp. She wants to get his side of the story. In walks Grandfather and Nate telling Trip that he is lying. Serena and Nate staged the whole fight so that Tripp would break down. Apparently, he paid Max to rig the car and Max got paid, but never came through. So Tripp did it himself. He wasn't trying to kill Nate per say, but wanted him to hit a pole to ruin his weekend with grandfather. Tripp gets hauled away and Nate tries to stand up to grandfather. Bold move Archibald.

Back at Ponchitos ( a rank little bar) Blair is wearing a bride to be crown and downing tequila shots. Beatrice made up a game where the girls have to match secrets with ex boyfriends and texts all the girls the answers. Cute game! Blair ends up drinking too much and is more fun then I have ever seen her. Except for season one when she gets lose and makes out with Chuck for the first time. (remember that?) This part had me smiling at how happy Blair was and unpretentious. Even Beatrice had to admit she was a blast. She asks Blair why she is going to marry her brother even though she doesn't love him and Blair responds that she does. Sometimes you love people in different ways, and one way is to not be with them. Beatrice' heart melts and decides to sober up Blair and be a real sister. Blair goes outside for some air, Chuck and Dan had followed her so they are only steps away. Some girl asks Blair for a light and then puts a joint in her mouth. Of course, right then two cops walk by and drunk Blair thinks they are strippers. She gets arrested and Beatrice gets blamed, although Dan tells her it was Chuck.

Beatrice tells father disgusting that the plan is over and she will tell everyone that this man of the cloth slept with her. He tells her that he told her mother to let her do charity work in Africa so no-one will ever see her again. Ring ring, that's mommy. Bye Beatrice. Just when I was starting to like you.

Back at home, Serena comes in with some french press coffee and apologies for not making the party. Blair tells her how much fun she had and lets on that she found Louie's vows in her drawer and finally admits that he really understands her and sees into her soul. Which is what she needed to marry him. She tells Serena she doesn't need to pretend to be with Humphrey anymore. Serena is not happy. I guess she loves Dan again. And although I hate Blake Lively, because she is with my man Ryan Reynolds, I am loving her red lipstick.

She calls Dan to tell him they should make dinner plans, because Blair wants them to fake it until the wedding. He agrees and then gets a text from Louie, thanking him for writing his vows. Looks like Humphrey sees into Blair's soul. Oddest couple, right?

Looks like next week is the day we have all been waiting for. The royal wedding! Are you psyched? I know I am!
