Gossip Girl 4x10

Gossip Girl, Gaslit, on The CW
There’s another party on the Upper East Side, Thanksgiving, and as the Macy’s parade is winding down Manhattan, and the scent of traditions hangs heavy in the autumnal air, people are preparing for dinner at the van der Woodsen-Humphreys. Not seen since the Chuck’s Saints & Sinners Masquerade Ball is Serena and no one knows where she’s been. Well, Juliet Flatchester sure knows where S is – she’s up in a cheap motel in Queens, practically overdosed on drugs and booze. When she finally comes to, S dials 911 and ends up in the emergency room. Once again it’s the Brooklynites who realize this does not sound like something Serena would do, that’s something is off, but Blair and Lily assume it’s business as usual, just Serena acting out. Apparently that’s what you do when you’re blowing off steam, you take painkillers, sleeping pill, anti-depressants and you wash them down with a bottle of vodka. Lily decides to send Serena into rehab.

Goodboy Dan believes Serena, who moreover tells him that the last thing she remembers is that she had made up her mind between Nate and him in his favor, and they skip out together. Meanwhile, Juliet makes Vanessa tell off Jenny, so she can take the blame. Plus, she sends a photo to Gossip Girl S snorting a big line of coke – or so it seems. Apparently everyone has forgotten that S supposedly kissed both Nate and Dan at Chuck’s party, even though she wasn’t able to get it. So, when she sees that photo of herself, Serena figures if she can’t remember doing coke, she may have done a whole lot more she can’t remember. So she volunteers to return to rehab. Jenny still is the only one to realize Juliet was behind Serena’s bender, and tells Blair before she returns upstate to stay gone. Also splitting town are Vanessa and Juliet. Now Blair only has Dan to turn to, to save Serena and bring down that stalking Flatchester. Mind you, I still don’t know what has motivated her and her brother to set up Serena. It’s getting so ridiculously over-the-top annoying, I am glad the season is almost over.
