Gossip Girl: Ivy's Mystery Caller

Dan & Serena - Are back together. They decide to make amends with friends and family first, before they go public. He makes friends with Nate, Chuck and his dad. She makes friends with Blair. She makes plans to help Blair get young Constance girls at her pop-up show. They become friends again too. They are so happy and decide to be a couple again. Until we see him get a call from Georgina asking why he is with her. He replies he is doing a chapter on her. Uh oh. Very sneaky Dan!

Blair & Chuck - She is getting ready for her pop-up show and tries to get Sage and her friends, the five founders of the prep schools, called Dons, to come to her show. She ends up foiling that plan, but the girls love her stuff anyways and she sells out. She is a success. She goes to share it with Chuck, but he is less than happy about his own life. He basically tells her to give up, they are NEVER going to be together. Poor Blair. Waited around for nothing.

Ivy, Rufus, Lily, Bart, Nate (whomever else) - Bart helps Nate out of a financial jam with the spectator. In return, he must do what he says, which includes helping to take his bestie Chuck down. Ivy has the micro film and tells Bart and Chuck they can have it if they destroy Lily's life. She has been in cahoots with William, Lily's ex, the whole time. Looks like she wants all of Lily's men. She gets duped by Bart and Rufus gives the micro film to Lily after he sees Ivy kissing another man. She burns it in the fire and Chuck watches it burn. Part of me thinks it is somewhere else, but I could be wrong. Ivy and William leave together with her money, Lily and Bart are happy and Lily and Rufus are friends again.

Gossip Girl: The Painting

Blair: Her mother returns and is upset with her, especially after reading Dan's article. She tells her she has to stop scheming to get her way. She invites Nelly Yuke over and then blackmails her, but it backfires. Her mother is more upset than ever. Then Blair tries to threaten Dan and that shows her that she is still immature as ever. She finally realizes she should come up with a lower level line, called B. This will showcase her high school style of uniforms and headbands and when she was cool.

Dan/Serena: They are hanging out again and liking each other. He even brings her a box of her favorite chocolate covered strawberries. After overhearing her talk badly about him to Nate, he second guesses. They get stuck in an elevator and work things out, then they kiss and she invites him to stay. Looks like they are back together!

Chuck/Nate: They are still looking for dad's evidence. They realize from one of the advisers that he is hiding the evidence like the movie Traffic, in a painting. Nate sneaks in to Lily's home and finds nothing. Then they realize it must be the one painting that is gone. Except it is up for auction at Lily's event.

Ivy/Rufus/Lily: No-one has responded yes to Rufus' art event. Lily is having an auction the same night to prevent this. Ivy buys all of her paintings in return for his artwork to be displayed and for them to co-host. Lily is furious, so she donates one of her favorite pieces. Little did she know, the oil papers are hidden in the back. Ivy and Rufus buy the art for 1.2 million and Ivy says he will sell back to Chuck for double.

The Kickers....

1. Chuck and Nate go to find the oil papers first and it is gone
2. Ivy has found them and talks to some mysterious caller about them on the phone, but who? I am hoping Gossip Girl?

Gossip Girl: Horse Show

Chuck/Blair: For some reason Chuck and Blair can still NOT be together, but are together. This confuses me. They do some digging and find out that Lady Alexander is a horse. They agree to head to the horse show to find out. The horse belongs to the sake and his daughter is riding that day. Bart follows them there as well and he is like an uncle to that family. Later on, Iman comes to see Chuck and tells him that Bart did not take the horses to live on a farm, but sold them. He was pretending to buy them in order to trade foreign oil, which is illegal for Sudan. That is why he paid Amira a pretty penny to keep quiet. Gotta love Blair, calling her Princess Jasmine. Meanwhile, she has been dodging calls from her mother. She finally gets a voicemail from Louis (remember him?) saying she better call her mother back.

Dan: Dan is basically a loner and been living off his new work. Georgina has been pimping him out on speed dating to find him a girl. Serena tries to get him not to publish things about her love life, but he is a jerk to her. He is a jerk to everyone in fact. He finally shows up at Blair's and says he misses his friend and asks if he can live in Serena's room. He still loves her and maybe they will get back together.

Rufus and Ivy: All of his boxes are there and need to be unpacked. She offers to do so. While going through his stuff she tells Gossip Girl about something in Lily's past. I don't get them. Nate tries to convince her to put her blasts on spectator, since they will get the most notice.

Serena/Steven/Nate/Sage: Sage wants her dad to get to know Nate and Serena vouches for him. They end up drinking and chatting at the horse show and liking one another. Steven is a bit hesitant since he knows Serena slept with him. Sage is happy she can be with Nate and maybe is throwing Serena a bone. Steven decides that him and Serena should go through their lists of anyone they did more than second base with. She unfolds it all, but he forgets one key person. Apparently she slept with Steven, years back when she had a different last name. Serena is horrified. Her mother has been with her boyfriend!

Gossip Girl: Blair's Fashion Show

Blair is getting ready for her fashion show. She needs an IT girl and cant think of one. She even calls Serena, but she turns her down meanly. She is working so hard that she is starved and dehydrated. She has to be on bed rest with IVS, so Chuck goes to set everything up for her. After some extortion she has Sage be her new IT girl.

Dan is getting backlash for the article he wrote about his dad and Ivy. Fake Charlie is his new girlfriend and its actually gross. She tells GG that Rufus is threatening to sue his son and this causes a fight between them. Dan ends up giving all his rights to Vanity Fair. Nate kicks him out for this and Nelly Yuke offers to put him up, but some girl comes to buy him a drink and he ditches her.

Sage is giving Serena issues at home. She decides to take down Serena by ruining the fashion show. She strips down to her underwear and Serena thinks its planned by Blair, so she talks badly about the collection. Everyone walks out, it is a bomb and Nelly writes a horrible piece on it. Sage admits to them both, she sabotaged it herself. Oops! She goes to see boyfriend Nate, who could be the voice of reason. Does anyone ever consider the power of love?

Chuck finds the man in the photo and gives him tons of money for info. We find out about a Lady Alexander. We must find her? Why? Who knows. At least him and Blair get to be out in public together. Why aren't they together again? I'm so confused!

Gossip Girl: Who is Sage?

Chuck: He is still trying to figure out his father's secrets. He uncovers that Amria slept with his father. But is that enough of a reason to pay her 10mil to be quiet? She leaves the company and he keeps searching. Bart even buys Lily a necklace to make up for it. I don't get her. She was with Rufus and in love and now she loves Bart again? So weird. Amira sends him an envelope with a picture of man near his father. Who is this man?

Blair: Has her new line coming out and a reporter from WWD coming to see her. When she gets there its Nelly Yuke. The girl she kicked out of her minion club. She plans to destroy her with Poppy's line. Apparently its all the same fabrics and styles. When Blair tries to steal all Poppy's models, she learns they just like the same things. Nelly plans to let her either come up with something or move on. She ends up recreating her mother's line in 10 days. Can she do it?

Dan: He is trying to sell his book, but they are all scared of using first and last names. He finally asks Nate to publish it. He is tired of living with Georgina, since she watches him while he sleeps. He gets a talk from Nelly saying that he should stop trying to fit in with these people.

Serena & Nate: She has been invited to be on the board of the Central Park conservatory. She feels like her adult life is ready and her other one needs to be left behind. Her and Steven are happy until she spots him having lunch with Nate's Sage. At the party she confronts him and Nate breaks it off with Sage. They find out that Sage is Steven's teenage daughter. She still sees Nate and Serena tries to be cool and talk about Gossip Girl. Sage is like that is for old people, haha. She vows to break their relationship.

Gossip Girl: Queen Lilly

Blair/Dan: Darota picks up a copy of NY magazine and Blair has made the lowbrow section because she has been married less than Kim Kardashian and Dan has made the highbrow section because of his new book that is yet to be nothing like Insider. She is furious because she is no longer it. She dresses up in a huge couture dress to Dan's press party, where the dress code is casual. She even tries to get her shoe and handbag collection displayed by FIT, no go. She tries to upstage Dan at the party and cut into his speech. Dan doesn't kick her to the curb and they work through things. She apologizes and I really like her with Dan.

from cwtv.com

Chuck/Nate: Nate has a feeling that Diana is lying. He checks who is bankrolling her and its Jack Bass. But why? They start to think that Diana is not who she says she is. They find a picture of Elizabeth after Nate calls her to talk. It is her pregnant with Chuck and a man with a tattoo (Jack Bass) cradling her belly.

Gossip Girl: Chuck's Real Mother

I have to say I knew it all along. The minute we saw Diana with the photo of Bart in her pocket, I knew it. Let's begin, shall we?

Blair/Dan: We begin with Blair and Dan having breakfast together. Darota knows exactly what he wants. She tells him that they need to have their coming out party as a couple. She wants to do it tonight at this fancy party. He agrees. He goes home to find Rufus, sans Lilly, and he tries to convince his son not to lose himself and meld into the rich girl's world completely. This takes them to a tea room in Brooklyn for lunch. She is mortified but soon stops when a couple behind them have lunch with them. They tell them they always have a dinner with great people. This makes Blair and Dan plan a royal British parlor dinner. They don't invite their own friends, because this will be too much drama.

Serena/Lola: Serena is helping Lola get ready for her first big audition. Lola talks about how irrelevant Gossip Girl is and this makes Serena mad. She blasts about Lola on GG and this gets her kicked out of her audition, for making her look like a diva. Lola tells Nate that Serena is GG and wants to prove it to him.

from cwtv.com

Rufus/Lilly: She brings over some salad and they make up. He is willing to move back in until they sell the place and find their own. When she goes back she gets a call to verify a credit card charge for a hotel that Rufus has been putting Ivy in. They end up breaking up again, after they find out they aren't being truthful anymore.

Meanwhile.....

Diana gets a text from the real Gossip Girl that says if she doesn't get the site back from Serena, she will reveal her secret. Diana goes to meet Serena and tells her that she wants to help her. Serena overhears her talking to Jack about giving blood, goes to the hospital and confirms that Diana gave the blood.

Serena crashes the British party and so does Lola, Nate and Chuck. Lola steals Serena's phone and sees the upload to Gossip Girl button. While Blair and Dan are out getting more ice, Lola video uploads the convo between Serena and Diana. This shows that Diana is Chuck's real mother. Everybody gets the blast and leaves the party.

Dan and Blair realize they will find their place together and argue over smart things in  bed. Serena posts to gossip girl about Lola leaving, she was super jealous of her and Lola does leave, after Nate breaks it off with her and calls mom to tell her she was right about the UES.

Chuck confronts Diana and she tells him that she had an affair with Bart while he was with Elizabeth. She had the baby and gave it to them. She was ashamed and left. She came back to keep an eye on him, but from Nate's bed. He doesn't know if he can forgive her. But I guess we will see!

from cwtv.com

We end with Diana getting a text from GG saying that was NOT the secret she was talking about. Hmmm. What is it then?

Gossip Girl: "IT" Girl

Let's begin, shall we?

Blair/Dan:/Chuck: Blair gets her divorce papers in the mail, but wont sign them. She tells Dan a lie that its because they don't have the royal seal. He notices they do. We find out from Nate, that Chuck paid off the dowry. Why? He wants to set her free. Dan thinks its because of Chuck that she wont sign and Blair tells him its because she will no longer be a princess. Dan puts on her gown and a fake tiara and lets her sit on the Constance steps to get mobbed by young fans. Very sweet. They publicly kiss and she is free of Prince Louie. But, I wonder what Georgina did with all of this? Chuck tells Blair he did it to set her free and sets off to find out who donated the blood, since Elizabeth, is not his mother, nor the blood donor.

from cwtv.com

Lily/Rufus: She hates living in Brooklyn and wants her place back. Rufus makes a deal with Ivy that if she leaves the apartment, they will unfreeze her 3mil. She moves out, but Lily lies and never unfroze the account. Now Ivy is without a place to live and Rufus leaves Lily. She gets to move back home, alone.

Nate/Diana: Diana is back in town and she wants the company. She tries to cause friction with Nate and new girlfriend Lola. Lola and Nate set her up to be caught making out with her 16 year old friend Aiden and tape it. But Diana tells him this will be child pornography and their plan is ruined. Diana agrees to let him control the company while she has other things to work on. I am assuming its because she is Chuck's real mother and donated the blood.

from cwtv.com

Serena/Lola: Serena wants her name off GG's radar. She thinks that if she tries to get Lola to be the new "It" girl, then they will leave her alone. She gets incriminating photos of her wearing lingerie and everyone starts following Lola around. Serena somehow gets jealous and then makes Lola feel bad with her latest post to GG. GG wants her computer and password back, but Serena is not giving. Let's see how dirty this can get.

from cwtv.com

Gossip Girl: Bye Bye Ivy

Excited that Gossip Girl is back on my Monday nights. They were starting to get a bit empty. Let's see how everyone is doing in the upper east side, shall we?

Dan and Blair have been trying to do it for a while now. She shows up at his place wearing a trench coat and lingerie and he forgets to tell her that Lily, Rufus and William are all there. She stays for breakfast with them and then try to have sex at his place. She brings champagne and scented candles wherever she goes, but that is not enough. The car alarms and loud noises are too much for them and they give up.

Serena is writing her column at the spectator and Nate is trying to get investors to save his company. They agree when they see Serena writing for them in an inside perspective. She hasn't been getting her mail, since they got kicked out of their apartment by Ivy. She finally gets a box, that has GG's computer in it. She opens it up and realizes all the power she has.

from cwtv.com

Ivy is loving her new apartment, but Lily has blackballed her all around town. She cant get a designer or artist or anyone to help her. William comes in with a plan. He tells her throw a party in remembrance of CeCe's honor and he will take care of the caterer and getting Lily and Serena to come. She agrees to pay him for his services and Lola overhears them talking about when she goes to see William herself. Meanwhile, Carol is blackmailing William about the identity of Lola's real father. How will he get himself out of this mess? She wants her inheritance.

Serena gets an email about Ivy's party and blasts it to Gossip Girl. Nate then tells her what Lola saw and she puts a timer blast on that to come out at 8:00pm, during the party. That it is illegal to bribe an executor of the will.

Dan and Blair get a hotel room together and they finally do it. It is so bad. They both walk out of there. Blair goes to see Darota, since she is on leave and drinks vodka. Dan goes to see Nate and drinks whiskey. They both agree to meet at the party, even though they cant understand why the sex was so bad.

Chuck finds out that Jack saved his life with his blood. He wants to open a wing in the hospital in his honor. He is still a bit weary about it. He checks up at the hospital and finds out that he couldn't be the donor. He has Hep C, which makes him void as a blood donor. He dedicates the wing and gets Jack to tell the truth. He says it was Elizabeth who donated, but not to contact her. Meanwhile, he calls the real donor and says he knows it wasn't me. Who could that be? My guess has to do with Diana. Since she had been carrying around that photo of Bart in her pocket.

from cwtv.com

The Party......

Ivy has her party and the food is great and she is so excited. William had been in on it with Lily from the beginning. They wanted to trap Ivy to contest the will. Too bad Serena's blast ruined it for them. But Lola decides to come forth and say that she saw it happen. She wants to stick by her family. Ivy feels ruined and her assets are frozen and she has the 31K bill to pay the caterer.

from cwtv.com

Dan and Blair are so wasted that they talk about the bad sex in the elevator. She pulls the emergency button and they do it right there and its great. Haha! Serena loses her job at the spectator for blasting to gossip girl. Nate has to find another investor and Diana's name comes popping back in again. She posts to gossip girl and gets a message saying give me back my password, xoxo Gossip Girl. Must not be Georgina anymore, but who? Can we find out for once?

Gossip Girl: Reading of the Will

This was a really good episode. I have to say this show has started to get much better after I had begun to give up on it. Let's dig in...

After CeCe's passing, they are trying to figure out what she wants for her funeral. Apparently, she has already arranged and paid for everything. It turns out she wanted an Irish wake, where this is music, dancing and drinking as her casket lay right in the middle of their penthouse. Carol of course is super greedy and Lily shows her claws as well. We find out that William (Serena's real dad) is the executor of the will. He will do the reading later on. Everyone is at this wake. Lola, who was brought by Nate to try and get to know Serena better is there and so is Charlie/Ivy who was accompanied by Georgina. Georgina thinks there must be more of a reason why Lola was never introduced to the fam.

Since Georgina is at the party, she left Gossip Girl to her husband. He has no idea what to do so when he gets a tip from Chuck Bass about how Dan sent the video in he posts it along with Chuck's name and email attached. Georgina realizes that everyone will know its her after this blunder, so she decides to give up her post, but not without going out with a bang.

from cwtv.com

Blair is trying to get out of her prenup and paying this dowry. The woman who is supposed to keep tabs on her has a plan. She is willing to mate with Louie and get her out of her prenup if she stays out of the tabloids. She agrees, but Georgina steals Dan's phone and blasts a pic of Dan and Blair kissing on GG. She will now have to pay the dowry. This plan was never real, since the advisor and Georgina were behind it the whole time. Georgina swears to Blair she will help her if she owes her a favor. She agrees.

The will is being read and we find out that a bunch of the little things like Faberge eggs and tapestries all go to Lily. Carol thinks this is typical. Charlie/Ivy is there too and she says she is staying because CeCe wanted her there. The whole estate, including the penthouse and all of her fortune is left to... Charlie/Ivy! Duh. And they all think its a scam (don't they remember loving her?) until William reads the name on the will says Ivy Dickens. Apparently she told all her secrets to CeCe and she loved her for her. She was her only family. They all feel a fool. But there is more secrets to uncover here.

from cwtv.com

The Kickers.....

1. Georgina is on her way to Monaco, what will she do there?
2. Blair shows up in Brooklyn saying her heart belongs to Dan. Will this be the new couple? Only if Dan promises to cut his hair.
3. Charlie kicks Lily and Rufus out of their own apartment. They are going to have to move back to Brooklyn.
4. We find out from Carol that Lola is really William's child. She had an affair with him while him and Lily were married, yikes. That means Lola and Serena are half-sisters, not cousins. We end with William calling Lola if she ever wants to talk. No wonder Carol hid her all these years.
5. Georgina leaves her laptop and the GG legacy to Serena. It seems that may be a new chapter in her life too.

Gossip Girl: The Real Charlie

This episode was definitely juicy and a lot of the story lines came to a head. Let's begin, shall we?

Chuck/Blair/Serena/Dan: Chuck is still trying to take Dan down. He is sleeping with his editor and making sure that his new manuscript doesn't get sent to her. He instead uses a plagiarized version of one and makes sure Alessandra is too busy with him to notice. He gives her a green scarf as a gift to butter her up.

from cwtv.com

Meanwhile, Serena and Blair are having brunch and are fighting about Dan. Darota locks them in there to work things out. They come up with a solution of Blair spending the day with Dan as friends to prove she is not into him.

Dan learns that Lola's production company is reading scenes from his book. He goes to the reading and Blair comes with. She ends up doing the scene as her alter ego Claire and realizes after kissing Dan that she really does like him. He loves her for her and that is all that matters. She goes to tell Serena the truth and Serena is not happy, but happy she is being honest.

from cwtv.com

Blair tells Chuck to lay off of Dan and the right manuscript gets to Alessandra and Dan is off the hook for plagiarism.

Nate/Lola/Charlie: Lola is hanging out with Nate trying to get Ivy's number. She calls her and confronts her about stealing her identity. Nate checks his phone and realizes what she has done. Lola lets him in on what is going on. She uses gossip girl to track her down to the hospital. Ce Ce needs to get rushed there and begs Charlie to be by her side the whole time. Charlie calls Carol to let her know that her real daughter is here in NYC and goes by the name Lola.

They hear about what happened to CeCe and rush to the hospital. Charlie is there and Lola shows up. She calls Carol mom and everyone is shocked. Charlie tells them that she was playing a part to get the trust fund for Carol and they all tell her to get the hell out of there and banish her. Lola is less than happy to make friends with Serena now and goes to stay with Nate to cool off.

Cece passes away and everyone is super sad. But where is Charlie? She is busy calling Georgina to help her get back into UES good graces.

It seems to me that CeCe will be giving her fortune to Charlie. This cannot be the last of her!

Gossip Girl: Dan Loves Blair

I know my title is pretty obvious, but I have been waiting for Blair to come on board with the notion as well. Maybe she will, let's find out and see.

Blair is convinced that she is going to play cupid to fix her relationship with Serena. She tries to get Dan and her back together by having them meet for lunch and sending them champagne and chocolate desserts. Dan has other things on his mind like Blair. She is back from her honeymoon sans Louie, but she has a woman that watches her constantly.

Nate is trying to still pick up Lola, but she wants nothing to do with him. One of the girls working at his office also works for Georgina as her new alias Gossip Girl. She tries to get Nate to throw a throwback to high school Valentine's Day party and use Lola as the caterer. She wants to have Blair and Dan there so Georgina can get the scoop. He ends up having the party but throwing it at the Empire, since Lola wont work any parties of Nates. Chuck promises not to be there, so Blair agrees to stop by to help Dan and Serena reconnect.

Speaking of Georgina, she needs to go. Her husband does as well. Why is he OK with helping her ruin people's lives? She plans to use the fact that Dan sent in the video to hold over his head to get what she wants. He ends up texting her and hearing the plink of her phone. He walks in on Georgina texting as Gossip Girl and threatens to expose her if she ever releases that video. Score.

Charlie Rhodes is back in town and needs to talk to Lily. Rufus is busy buying her Cartier jewels and waiting for her while she is on her way back from DC. Charlie says she only wants to talk to Lily, so she goes to the Empire hoping to find her. She is only in town for a few hours. She runs into Serena at the party and has to explain where she has been. She tells them she went back to Florida and is now on her way to Europe. She runs into Lola who knows her as Ivy Dickens, since they worked together on that play. They chat for a while and she tells her she needs to head out. Nate hears her calling her Ivy and explains how she only used the name Ivy because of her crazy mother that she is really Serena's cousin Charlotte Rhodes. BUSTED. Lola is on to her and feels pretty betrayed that her mother did this to her. End scene with her facebook requesting the phony Charlotte Rhodes. Let's just say Lola has a plan.

Serena is dressed like a girl from Constance and Blair is in a gorgeous red dress. She is on her way to the cardiac ball with Louie's guard following her. The guard goes down to the bar to keep a close eye on Chuck. Meanwhile, Dan's publisher hits on Chuck and basically asks him to take her home. He denies her and says maybe last year.

Dan and Blair talk about how is not interested in Serena. She tells him what good friends they are and how he has been there for her through so much. She says she only wants to make him happy, but how can she do this? He then kisses her and she doesn't pull away. The kiss lasts a pretty long time but of course Georgina is outside snapping a photo of it and Serena watches the whole thing in despair. Dan chases Georgina and Serena is left with Blair. I don't know how they can get past this.

Blair leaves to go to the ball and when she gets home, its like her and Serena are strangers. Wouldn't you be? Georgina tells her husband she is not going to post this photo because it wouldn't be worth the exposure of her true identity. Too bad we do not know who the real Gossip Girl is. She then shows Chuck the photo of Dan and Blair kissing. He is so upset he goes to sleep with Dan's publisher saying he wants to know everything about her, including what she knows about Dan.

The Kicker....

Charlie/Ivy goes back to her Hamptons house. She apparently has been living with CeCe and she is not doing well. There is a photo of them by her bedside and she runs to her arms as the maid tells her that it wont be much longer. Uh oh. Will this faux Rhodes get the fortune or will the real one be in for a lot of cash?

Gossip Girl: Runaway Bride

After last week's shocking wedding, I am excited to see we dive right back into the aftermath instead of calling it a few weeks. Let's dig right in....

We are still at the wedding and only Serena has noticed that Blair is missing. She tells Chuck and Louis realizes it too. He is still playing the fake prince game with his guests. Chuck gets a call on his phone saying that Blair is at his hotel waiting for him. You can see his eyes light up and its super sweet how much he loves her. They try to leave the wedding but everything is blocked by the press. Lola/Charlie Rhodes has her catering van and offers to take Nate, Serena and Chuck to his hotel.

Meanwhile, Dan and Blair are in the car discussing her options. She tells him that she needs to get divorced without Louie knowing so she wants to go to the Dominican Republic since Elizabeth Taylor did it. He takes her to the airport in her wedding gown, a bit obvious. She tries to buy a ticket and Dan is helping her with everything. He calls his dad to tell him to stall the Grimaldis. People recognize Blair but she tells this girl she is a decoy. The girl says "Blair Waldorf is much prettier than you and this guy is gross". She then cannot buy her ticket without a passport. She holds up the local newspaper and says can you use this as ID? The girl from before rats her out as a decoy and she gets no ticket. Even after she has bought a I love NY t-shirt, sweatshirt and pants, shoes. She calls Darota to get her passport and Dan takes her to a motel in Queens.

from cwtv.com

Meanwhile, the Queen is trying to get the info about Blair out of her mother. Eleanor knows nothing and they all go back to Lily's. She tells Eleanor that Blair better stay married or they will have to pay back the huge dowry that they cannot afford. Nate is somewhere canoodling with Lola and then when he hears her arguing with her mother and she says it is her boss, he kicks her out because he does not like liars. She then goes to deliver flowers to Lily's. Lily recognizes her as the other Charlie Rhodes and they have a heart to heart about Nate. Nate then calls her back up and she tells him that her mother thinks she is in school because she didn't want her to be an actress in NYC. Ok. I am sure they are going somewhere with this storyline but where.

When they get to the hotel, they find Georgina, not Blair. She tells them that she was the last one to see Blair and can help them find her. I am not sure what Georgina's plan is here, but why is she allowed to come wherever they are? And why is her boyfriend so A-OK with letting her be a menace? They find out from Darota, who Georgina locked in a closet, that they are at the Queens motel. Serena, Chuck, Georgina and Dan are all at the hotel with Blair. She tells them that Louie locked her in a loveless marriage. Dan storms off because Blair is really mean to him and he calls her out on it. Serena's bag falls open with the camera that had the footage leaked to Gossip Girl on it. She takes the fall for uploading the video and then yells at Blair for going off with Dan when she loves him.

from cwtv.com

Blair apologizes to Dan and says they are good friends and knows he wrote the vows. Chuck asks Serena why she uploaded that video and she said she didn't. She found the camera at the bar, thought it was Chuck's and wanted to take the blame if it meant getting them back together. Confused? Who sent the video?

Blair meets with Louie, because she will not let Chuck nor her mother pay for the dowry and take her own fall. They are off to their honeymoon and photos are being snapped of her. Georgina posts it on Gossip Girl and explains to her boyfriend that once Gossip Girl left her post it was her civil right to take it over for the good of the people. Ah Ha. So she is NOT the original gossip girl, but who is? Lola?

Who do you want Blair to be with? Dan, Chuck or Louie?

Gossip Girl: The Royal Wedding

It's here! Finally! Are we ready for the details of this royal wedding?

The episode starts poorly. Serena (she is so annoying lately) has a dream sequence where she is Marilyn Monroe and all of the guys (Dan, Nate, Chuck and even Louie) are vying for her attention. In walks Blair, dressed as Audrey Hepburn and she steals Dan's attention away. Wakey wakey, upper east siders, says Gossip Girl. Thank goodness for her. I couldn't stand to see one more minute of Serena.

It's wedding day and there is a huge brunch at the Waldorf's to celebrate, everybody including Dan will be there. Meanwhile, Father evil is trying to get Chuck on board with his plan. He is going to poison the real priest and then have Chuck dress up as a priest to break up the wedding and object. Chuck doesn't want to so instead he puts the food poisoning in father evil's water and throws him out, not even allowing him to use the bathroom!

Georgina Sparks is in town and she is so upset by Blair's new reign. She and her boyfriend and Milo are going to try and ruin her big day. She runs into the priest and steals his garb and is ready to ruin the wedding.

from cwtv.com

Nate has some run in with a temp staff girl from a catering company and he realizes that maybe he is alone for a reason. He pays attention to the wrong girls. Dan has asked to be in the wedding as a groomsman because he helped Louie write his vows.

Blair is getting ready in her Vera Wang gown, royal crown and messy hair. Her mother notices how nervous she is and thinks something is wrong. She says she needs to run out and take care of something. She ends up at Chuck's hotel telling him that Blair loves him and he needs to come and stop the wedding. Go MOM!

Georgina is at the church and she plans to seduce Louie and get Blair to walk in on them. However, Lily and Rufus see her there and but her. Her plan is ruined, but is it? As Chuck comes to see Blair and she goes on and on about how much she loves him but she cannot be with him, Georgina tapes the whole thing on her phone. She gives the phone to Chuck as a wedding gift and tells him that he can send it to Gossip Girl and all will know the truth.

Blair is being walked down the aisle by her father and step father (such a cute moment when she asks Cyrus to help walk her down as well) and all of her bridesmaid pretty in a row (I love the maid of honor dress!) and she gets to Louie and looks happy, but not super happy. The part about having someone object comes up and she sees Chuck, and so does everyone else, in the back of the room, but he stays silent. Just then the feed from the Gossip Girl video shows Blair's confession. This causes Blair to run out of the wedding and Chuck tells her it wasn't him. She says she cannot be with him and will marry Louie. Louie has a talk with his mother and then a talk with Blair. He tells her they can continue the wedding.

from cwtv.com

They get married, they kiss and they are at the reception. She is dancing with Louie and telling him how happy she is to be princess Blair Grimaldi. He then tells her was going to wait until after the wedding, but his mother and him agreed he would continue this marriage but as a sham. After she humiliated him like that he no longer loves her but will be with her like a business proposition. Uh Oh. She realizes she will be trapped in a loveless marriage. She says what about the vows you wrote me and he tells her that Dan really wrote them, burn.

from cwtv.com

Three big cliff hangers....

1. Blair calls Dan to pick her up saying she made a mistake, he does and they ride off together
2. Serena tells Dan she loves him and she always will
3. The girl "Lola" that Nate meets is the REAL DEAL Charlie Rhodes! That's right! I said it. Crazy right?
4. We see someone typing as gossip girl and the camera pans over to Georgina as she says XOXO.

Shut the front door! My mouth was open and I cannot believe it. But, is she really gossip girl? Or was she just gossip girl after the first one got shut down? I don't know the truth, but I am sure we will find out. How can they tell us who she is? Something must be up!

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.

from cwtv.com

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.

from cwtv.com

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!

Blair's First Wedding Dress

I say this because who would she be without two different Vera Wang gowns? I myself, wore just one to my wedding, but I guess I am not royalty (although I married my prince)

I am mostly confused during this entire episode. When we last left off, Blair and Chuck decided to be together and got into a horrific accident. We thought Chuck was dead. When it begins, we see Chuck, right as rain, walking monkey and helping Louie find his way home. I thought it was a dream sequence until 11 minutes in, when I realized it wasn't.

We find out later that Blair made a deal with G-d especially after she lost her baby. She said that if Chuck lived, she would marry Louie and forget him to keep him safe. She has been going to church ever since and having Dan go with her. They are besties now and Dan is truly obsessed with her. Louie thinks she is having an affair and so does Chuck. He is confused most of all what the eff happened after their accident.

Lily is determined on finding Charlie. She hires a PI to find her and he ends up finding the really Charlie Rhodes, picture ID and all. But they think there must be a mix up and ignore it. I guess the real Charlie doesn't recognize her own aunt. I am assuming we will see more of her later on, since she also resides in NYC.

Dan goes to find Blair at Vera Wang where she has on her custom gown. She decides its too sad to wear and wants Vera (who makes a cameo) to make her a new one. And she will. (Sorry to say the first one was not my favorite)

from cwtv.com

Meanwhile, Serena is like eh this episode. She is getting all of the gossip girl blasts sent to her inbox and she decides to post them and turn this into something good. Meanwhile, a blocked texter sends Nate info that shows that Blair/Chuck were not meant for the accident, but Nate was. The texter is gossip girl herself, xoxo and everything. Do we finally get to meet her? Is the world coming to an end?

Blair shows up at Chucks and you can see his heart smiling, he thinks she is there to claim her love. She is there to break it off and explain that she still loves him but will marry Louie as planned.

from cwtv.com

Heartbreaking. Well at least, they acknowledged that little J and Eric are still alive, even though we know he is in Revenge town.

Next week, bachelorette party.....
