Gossip Girl here,

Your one and only source

Into the sandalous lives of manhattan's elite.

Bart's been in an accident.

My father turned his first profit by the time he was 22.

I hope to do it by the time I'm 21.

Oh, you're in love with her.

It's all over your face. - No.

Blair told me you were responsible

For sabotaging me at cotillion.

Tripp is divorcing Maureen. We're going away together.

It is a huge mistake.

You wanna talk to me about mistakes?

You don't get to judge me.

Please don't get in the car. - Serena, you coming?

And who am I?

That's a secret I'll never tell.

You know you love me.

On lonely street

Little runaway girl

Do it again

Do it again

If you don't mind...

I do.

Serena, I can't stand this.

I love you.

Tripp, everything is ruined, already

It's too late.

Serena, it doesn't have to be,

Tripp!

They say that there are no accidents.

Sometimes, reality comes crashing into us.

Other times, it dawns on us slowly,

Despite our best efforts to ignore it.

Morning. I brought your favorite.

Oh, you're up.

I haven't been sleeping well.

I know, hence the breakfast in bed...

Which will taste just as good in the living room.

I'm not hungry.

Stop trying to pretend, Chuck. I know why you're upset.

Today is a day like any other.

In fact, I'm going to a meeting.

I'm looking at a property on the lower east side.

I can't be resting on my laurels.

The empire's doing well.

It's time to look ahead.

Well, since I canceled my day,

I am now completely free, so I'm coming with you.

Hey. I thought you were getting

ready for that co-op meeting.

Oh. Right.

It slipped my mind.

You cleaning out the closet again?

I thought you did that yesterday and the day before.

Well, Vanya has organized a clothing drive--

"coats for Kiev."

Vanya's from Minsk.

Lil, none of this is making much sense.

Does this have something to do with serena?

What, other than the fact that she won't speak to me?

That she's holed up with some married politician,

Acting like some sort of teenage Rielle Hunter?

Well, if it's this upsetting, let's do something about it.

Where is she? Let's bring her back.

Would you represent us at the co-op meeting today?

It's about the rooftop garden.

You know how strict

Those green people are about attendance.

If it'll help you out, I'm totally free.

I had a feeling you might say that.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing. I'm sorry.

Look, I know our family's going through a lot,

And I love... That you've made us your priority.

It's at park avenue autumn.

No, no. Of course, sir. I'm thrilled.

I'll be in touch with an answer. Thanks again.

You've been ducking work all week.

Who was important enough for you to finally take their call?

Barney Frank. - Really?

He asked me to serve on the finance subcommittee.

Oh! that's so exciting.

Hey, maybe--maybe this will all blow over.

Unfortunately, it has to blow up before it blows over.

It's only a matter of time before Maureen goes public.

And I can't hide out here forever.

Well, if being together means everything will fall apart,

Then so be it.

It'll be hard, but we'll figure it out,

Even if that means starting over.

Right.

Starting over.

Hey.

We'll get through this.

I'm gonna go into town and get some supplies.

No. Don't be too long.

Um, this building is a homeless shelter.

"a," gross, and "b," really?

I'm not a huge advocate of the downtrodden,

But I am a fan of not stepping

on them when I'm at John Derian.

If you turn these into lofts,

Then where are they going to live?

I don't know, blair. One step at a time.

The owner of the building's waiting inside with the specs.

I-I'm sorry.

Far be it from me to be overcome with the holiday spirit,

But this whole scrooge act?

You should be at home today

Or laying flowers on your father's grave.

I know today is the anniversary of his death.

Why don't you take the car

And meet me at the hotel later for lunch?

We'll have our quiet time then.

Fine.

Pretend like you never get sad

And all you care about is making more money.

But just so we're clear, I know better.

And you, chuck bass, are not your father.

I know.

We make our own fortunes,

And then call them fate.

Hey.

Can you meet me right now?

I think we should talk.

And what better excuse to choose a path

Than to insist it's our destiny?

But at the end of the day,

We all have to live with our choices...

You did the right thing, son.

No matter who's looking over our shoulder.

Spotted--an "it" girl with an "it" bag.

Looks like the roadie to success

Is paved with cruel intentions.

Can I hold the baby? - Oh, it's beautiful!

I've never seen one in the flesh.

Because it's not in stores yet.

Even the waiting list is still waiting.

I guess it pays to be Lily Bass' daughter.

Well, her name is "humphrey" now,

And I got this through my own connections.

O.M.G.! Twins!

You have the same bag! - how did you get that?!

Well, great minds shop alike.

Although in the future, J, we should probably coordinate.

I'll take tuesdays and thursdays

And alternate wednesdays?

How about you take yours back to the store?

You know I have first dibs on designer everything.

I'm--I'm sorry, Jenny.

But my mom brought this back for me from Paris.

It had its own seat on the plane. Well,

since you apparently love your new bag

More than your old friends, I guess you can carry it...

Across the street.

Enjoy being B.F.F.S with a hunk of leather.

So who wants to hold it first?

Okay, that was totally humiliating.

That was kind of the point.

If we wanna turn Carmen and Jane against Jenny,

We've gotta make them see that

she is the meanest queen ever.

Consider the mission a success.

I had to pinch myself to keep from crying.

I know it's hard, but you have to stick with the plan.

And if the plan doesn't work? - If it does work,

We'll make sure you end up the new queen.

You better. But in the mean time...

I'm keepin' the bag.

Are you ready for phase two?

Olivia called it, you know.

I mean, and I was--I was too stupid or too stubborn

To realize that she was right about Vanessa.

And now my window's closed.

She's all off into

This Paul Hoffman

guy. Dan, do you really think

If you went toe-to-toe with paul hoffman

That you couldn't take him down?

You're using him as an excuse.

No, no, he's a..he's a..he's a handsome guy, a sophomore.

He and vanessa have a lot in common.

He's a douche. Listen, you have two options here--

You can man up, go to war and fight for the girl you love,

Or just forget her and move on to a palate cleanser.

So you're saying my only choices are

Extreme emotional vulnerability with a good friend,

Or meaningless sex with a stranger?

Yeah, pretty much. - All right.

Hi. We were just talking about you. Oh.

Uh, we're going up to my country house this weekend,

And I wondered if you wanted to come. And there's a hot tub.

It's kind of a writers retreat. And Paul's coming.

Oh... you know, that sounds-- that sounds so tempting.

But I think, um, I got a lot of homework

So I think I'm gonna stick around here.

Oh. Okay. I'll call you when we get back.

Okay. See ya.

Dude, what was that? You should totally go.
