Gossip Girl is back from winter break, and my dear god, do I have trouble keeping up with what is going on! Serena was unsuccessful finding the judge who signed the affidavit that got Juliet’s brother Ben into jail. Chuck returns from New Zealand with two busty ladies in his limo – similarly unsuccessful in finding his uncle Jack. To prevent the take-over of Bass Industries (which Lily has put on sale), Chuck recruits Serena, so she can meek out her own vengeance by getting Ben out of jail. Then it transpires that perhaps selling the company now, with the real estate and hotel business in recession, to Bass’s old partner Thorpe (Michael Boatman) who will maintain the company’s integrity will be better than going bankrupt or selling it to the highest bidder. Seems like Lily isn’t such a Wicked Witch of the Upper Eastside after all.
Blair is planning (or should I say “plotting”?) an internship with Indra Nooyi, for which she is obviously employing her minions. In other gossip, she is adamant no one hears of the movie she and Dan saw together. All her plans backfire, and her mother resents her for her childish games. Nate’s father is out on parole, enjoying the hell out of freedom, which worries Nate. Thorpe throws a party, where naturally everything comes to a head. Actually, he is not the intended buyer at all – if he’d known it was for sale he’s buy it on the cheap and hosted a fire sale to dismantle it. Serena learns that her mother persuaded the judge to release Ben. Blair realizes Dan sometimes has his advantages. He scoffingly called her an “evil dictator of taste,” which made her realize she should become an editrix of a fashion magazine. She makes her mother proud – and once more joins Dan to watch a comedy. Unsure about his future, Chuck drinks alone at Riverpark Bar, until Thorpe’s daughter Raina picks him up. What in the name of all that’s unholy is this devil’s daughter scheming at, sleeping with the enemy?

You forgot to mention Ben outta prison and meeting Serena for coffee!! If Blair and Dan hook up...wow this show is really desperate for a plot.
ReplyDeleteNow you gave away the cliffhanger, you spoilsport dikhead!! Obviously they need to play with the Dan & Blair plot. He's dated everyone else (Serena, Vanessa, Georgina, Olivia)! I am glad, though, that I'm not the only one watching this nonsense...
