It's back!The gang from America's favorite guilty pleasure Gossip Girl is back to scintillate with their tales of sex and drama. Considering how underwhelming last season's finale was, this was definitely an improvement.
The saga of kindred spirits Blair and Chuck hit a surprising dramatic note this week. Their pairing always seemed like a cat-and-mouse game, so to speak. It gained some layers as Blair, home from Paris visiting her father and his boyfriend, brought some random guy home to make Chuck jealous. The plan worked, thanks to some well-placed jabs (planting a special pin on the guy's sleeve and making Chuck see it, for instance). Twice in one episode (more than ever), we saw Chuck be vulnerable. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't enough, and Blair went off with the mystery guy.
Did I mention the mystery guy was a Lord from England?
Things have definitely changed in the saga that is Dan and Serena. The reformed party girl was practically a recluse in the Hamptons, faking a relationship with Nate as she nursed a broken heart. Dan seemed to have taken his ex-girlfriend's title of "slut", by getting it on with practically everyone in the city. While he was two-timing with the ladies, his promising writing career fell to the wayside; he was fired from a very important internship. Realizing that he made a mistake, he took the Jitney to the Hamptons to be with Serena, and with a little help from Serena's granny, he got to see her at the White Party, making out with Nate.
For some reason, Dan the man-whore had the nerve to act all sanctimonious with Serena, who was kissing Nate to make his married girlfriend jealous. All was well by the end, and GG's golden couple was reunited.
As for Nate, he obviously learned nothing from his fling with Serena, as he has now started another affair with some married woman. This seems pretty predictable; they'll fool around, he'll develop feelings, she won't be available, blah, blah, blah.
Overall, it was really Blair and Chuck's episode. I never really thought that I would be rooting for them, but I guess I am. We'll see what happens next, when the adventures in the Hamptons should wrap up.
