Gossip Girl (Kristen Bell): Hey Upper East Siders. Gossip Girl here.

And I have the biggest news ever. One of my many sources, Melanie91, sends us this: "Spotted at Grand Central, bags in hand: Serena van der Woodsen." Was it only a year ago our It Girl mysteriously disappeared for "boarding school"? And just as suddenly, she's back. Don't believe me? See for yourselves. Lucky for us, Melanie91 sent proof. Thanks for the photo, Mel. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Lonely Boy. Can't believe the love of his life has returned. If only she knew who he was. But everyone knows Serena. And everyone is talking. Wonder what Blair Waldorf thinks. Sure, they're BFF's, but we always thought Blair's boyfriend Nate had a thing for Serena. Gossip Girl: Better lock it down with Nate, B. Clock's ticking. Gossip Girl: Word is that S bailed on B's party in under ninety seconds. And didn't even have one limoncello. Gossip Girl: Has our bad girl really gone good? Or is it all just part of the act? Gossip Girl: Why'd she leave? Why'd she return? Send me all the deets. And who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell. The only one. XOXO. Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl: Spotted on the steps of the Met: an S. and B. power struggle.Did S think she could waltz home and things would be just like they were? Did B think S would go down without a fight? Or can these two hotties work it out? There's nothing Gossip Girl likes more than a good cat fight. And this could be a classic. Gossip Girl: Spotted at The Palace Hotel: S and B having a heart-to-heart. Hm... why so thirsty, S? You may have won over B for now but we still think you're hiding something. Gossip Girl: And just when B and S had built a bridge, it all had to come crashing down. But dry your eyes. The Kiss on the Lips party is just around the corner. And you know who loves parties? Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl: Looks like Little J might end up with a boy and a ticket to the inner circle. Or will he end up with another victim? I told you I love parties. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Serena making a heroic exit from B's party. Too bad for her there's school on Monday. So until next time, you know you love me. Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl: I bet you're wondering what Gossip Girl is doing up so early. Truth is, I never went to bed. Why waste precious time dreaming when waking life is so much better?

GG: Serena's visit was short. And apparently not very sweet. But you know what is? Revenge. We hear it's best served cold. Who's hungry? GG: Looks like Chuck and Blair showed up with quite an appetite. For destruction, that is. GG: Spotted: N and B, hot and heavy in the halls of the Palace Hotel. Sparks were flying for sure, but will it be a threeway or a D-Day? GG: Some might call this a fustercluck, but on the Upper East Side, we call it Sunday afternoon. GG: Well Serena's mystery man is a mystery no longer. His name is ugh, who cares? Now that he and S are over so are his 15 minutes. Gossip Girl: There's plenty of upside to being the spawn of the fabulously wealthy. But the downside? Super successful parents expect nothing less from their offspring. And when it comes to college, that means the Ivys. It's more than just getting into college, it's setting a course for the rest of your life. And for those few who aren't legacies, the pressures are no less. When parents have sacrificed for their childrens futures, what kid would want to let them down? Gossip Girl: Hey Upper East Siders. We hear that World War III just broke out. And it's wearing kneesocks. Choose your side or run and hide. We have a feeling this one's to the death. GG: Honesty may be the best policy in some ZIP codes, but not in this one. And not this week. Because "I was a teenage drug addict" is not exactly a winning college essay. GG: Another bomb lands in Blair's lap. Will she use it as ammunition or will she finally surrender and put down her arms? GG: Spotted in Central Park: two white flags waving. Could an Upper East Side peace accord be far off? Gossip Girl: Hey Upper East Siders, there's nothing Gossip Girl likes more than a surprise. And Blair has a two-for-one special. GG: Doesn't Chuck know a party isn't a party until someone crashes? Gossip Girl: Is that a smile we see on B's lips? The spotlight's on her for once and S helped her get it. I guess miracles can happen.

Gossip Girl: The rules for a model the day of a photo shoot are similar to those of a patient pre-surgery. No food or drink 12 hours prior, wear comfortable clothing, and make sure your affairs are in order. You never know what could go wrong in a flash. Gossip Girl: You didn't hear it from us, but in every girl's life there comes a moment when she realizes that her mother just might be more messed up than she is. Gossip Girl: This just in: S and B committing a crime of fashion. Who doesn't love a five-finger discount. Especially if it's the middle one. Gossip Girl: Everyone knows you cant choose your family but you can choose your friends. And in a world ruled by blood lines and bank accounts, it pays to have a pal. As much as a BFF can make you go WTF, theres no denying we'd be a little less rich without them. And Serena and Blair? They do besties better then anyone. No, thats not a tear in my eye. Its just allergies. Without you, Im nothing. Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: With Blair's boyfriend Nate helping to close up the family yacht for the season, Blair is free to focus on the most important event of the Fall: her annual sleepover. A tradition since the year 2000, each one more decadent than the last. No expenseor reputationis spared. With everything from trundle beds to truffles in place, all that's missing is sleepover star and Waldorf BFF, Serena van der Woodsen. Gossip Girl: Spotted on the steps of the Palace: Cinderella stepping onto a pumpkin instead of her carriage. Lucky for Lonely Boy there's more than one fable filling our inbox. Gossip Girl: Here's an inside tip, Little J: the faster you rise, the harder you fall. Hope that Hello Kitty sleeping bag doubles as a parachute. GG: Spotted fleeing dessert: S and Lonely Boy. Lighter than air and heading downtown. Gossip Girl : Couture and canape are just another Saturday night until you add a mask. But preparing for a ball is an event in itself. Which is why queens invented handmaidens. Gossip Girl: Looks like parents can be deceiving on both sides of the Bridge. Gossip Girl: Looks like the pot calling the kettle black has young Bass boiling over. And if we know Chuck, he's not one to let things lie. Someone pour that man a drink. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Bass drunk off his ass. Gossip Girl : Speak of the Devil and he doth appear. Wearing his trademark scarf.

Gossip Girl: Whoever thought monarchy was dead didn't realize it just changed ZIP codes. Gossip Girl: Spotted: B turning a year older but not necessarily wiser. Gossip Girl: As per Gossip Girls Thanksgiving tradition, I'm trading my laptop for Stovetop. And for the next 16 hours the only thing I'm dishing is seconds. When the cats away, the mice will play. Have fun, little rodents. Gossip Girl: Hey Upper East Siders, it's that time of year again. When the mere act of descending a staircase means you're a woman. That's right: Debutante season. And from what we hear, there's been some changes to the lineup. Gossip Girl: Serena van der Woodsen, looks like your invitation just arrived. With strings attached. Come out, come out, wherever you are. GG: This just in: We hear there's a cold war brewing between Lonely Boy and a certain Blue Blood. We never thought we'd say this ourselves Serena: There you are. What's going on? Dan: I'll tell you what's going on. I just became your escort for the ball. But our money's on Brooklyn for the win. GG: Spotted: Chuck Bass losing something no one knew he had to begin with. His heart. Gossip Girl: It's often said that, no matter the truth, people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along. Some people might see that their lies have almost caught up to them. Some people may see what was there all along. And then there are those other people. The ones that run as far as they can so they don't have to look at themselves. Chauffeur: Where to, Mr. Bass? Chuck: The airport. And as for me, I can see clearly now. XOXO Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl: Hey Upper East Siders, it's Christmas in New York. And along with the season comes the Constance Billard/St. Jude's bazaar. Where the only thing "bazaar" are the donated items for sale. GG: Spotted skating at Wollman Rink: the Blair Capades. All the grace of Nancy Kerrigan, but packing the punch of a Tonya Harding. GG: Looks like Daddy's little girl isn't sugar and spice and everything nice after all. Gossip Girl: Hear those silver bells? It's Christmas time in the city. Some families actually do make the yuletide gay, managing to leave their troubles far away. Other families have a merry little Christmas, even when their troubles aren't so far away. Some presents might end up getting returned.

Bart: I know how you like Florida. Eric: Yeah, Wow. Number One Fan. Gossip Girl: But some gifts are for keeps. Other presents come when you least expect them. Rufus: Hey Lil. Everything's closed on Christmas. Diners that claim to be open 24-7. It's false advertising. Gossip Girl: And everyone knows the biggest present comes in the smallest box. Rufus: So, uh, Allison's leaving. She's spending time alone with the kids And I seem to have walked all the way from Brooklyn to your doorstep. Without a jacket. In the snow. So what the hell. I miss you. And I have been missing you for awhile. Gossip Girl: Then there are those boxes you wish you had never opened. have a holly jolly Christmas. XOXO.Gossip Girl. On the Upper East Side it's easy to think the world is exactly as it appears. Refined. Elegant. Imposing. But sometimes all it takes is a little key to open the door to the wild side. Gossip Girl: There's a weak link in every chain. And it's just a matter of time before this one snaps. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Lonely Boy learning that when the punishment fits the crime there is no reason you can't serve your sentence in style. Gossip Girl: "What's the difference between gossip and scandal?" So glad you asked, UESForever. Anyone can commit a minor indiscretion and generate a day's worth of buzz. But in order to birth a true scandal, it requires the right person to be in the wrong place. Take one It Girl on a pedestal. Add a crowd eager to see her fall. And give them the means to knock her down. Gossip Girl: And for a scandal to really blow up, all it needs is an unexpected turn. Gossip Girl: Looks like the Virgin Queen isn't as pure as she pretended to be. [If Blair Waldorf lied about that what else might she be lying about?] Who's your Daddy, B? Baby Daddy that is? Two guys in one week? Talk about doing the nasty, or should I say being nasty? One good scandal deserves another. Wonder who's going down next? Everybody, if B has anything to say about it. You know you love me. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Wakey wakey, Upper East Siders. Spring Break is done and I'm starved for a dish. Were you sunning in Crete or sinning in Croatia? Give me the deets. And has anyone spotted our ex-Queen B? Where does the dethroned royalty vacation these days?

Gossip Girl: The French revolution had cake. The American had tea. But it looks like the overthrow of Blair Waldorf, well. Blair gets nailed by some yogurt Who said you need a silver spoon to dole out just desserts. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Blair Waldorf alone at Butter. Humiliated, party of one. Gossip Girl: Wake up, Little Jenny. The bitch is back. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Jenny in a red dress with the red hands to match. Looks like Utter Disgrace is the name on the label. Gossip Girl: There are three things we do alone: we are born, we die, and if we're a high school junior headed for college, we take the SATs. And while the test is said to measure our best traits, preparing for it inevitably brings out the worst. Humility becomes self-doubt. Striving becomes obsession. Some are driven to self-medication. While others cling to the security of being part of a group. And anyone who's used to bending the rules will find themselves breaking them. GG: Spotted in the courtyard: Serena, looking like she's seen a ghost. The ghost of party's past. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Serena van der Woodsen being given a real-life multiple choice question. A. Go home and study, b. Get a good night's sleep, c. Call your boyfriend, or d. Serena: An hour. GG: None of the above. Hope that wasn't the wrong answer, S. This test doesn't grade on a curve. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Jenny Humphrey wading in the Met fountain, fishing for change. Blair Waldorf seen dallying with an off-duty doorman on Monday night. It looks like the battle between the Queen B and Little J has moved from the streets to the blogs. Who's sending this debasing dish? I have a feeling. Gossip Girl: Sometimes, in an effort to spread the most outrageous rumors, we look over the very thing that's even more scandalousthe truth. And the only thing more shocking than the truth are the lies people tell to cover it up. Gossip Girl: This just in: Asher Hornsby spotted locking lips before class, but not with his girlfriend. Looks like gentlemen don't prefer blondes, Little J. They prefer other gentlemen. Is this just another round of blanks fired between B and Little J? I'm tired of being the bearer of bad grudges. This is the last item that goes to press without proof.

Gossip Girl: Breaking News: Asher Hornsby overheard bragging that Little J swiped her V card at his register. Didn't anyone teach you, Little J? You shouldn't give away the ending if you want him to pick up the book again. GG: Weekend Update: A same-sex kiss hasn't caused this much controversy since Britney and Madonna. Looks like Little J didn't spread her legs after all. She spread lies instead. Asher is gay and I have the correspondence to prove it. GG: Don't look so sad, Little J. The sun will come out tomorrow. Even if your boyfriend did today. Gossip Girl: In our modern age, when you call someone and can't find them you can be pretty sure they'll get the message. But if they don't call you back, it usually means they don't want to be found. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Lonely Boy on the Upper East Side. Learning the lesson that nothing stays missing forever. Things always turn up. For better. Nate: Well is something actually wrong or is this just a ploy to get us both here? Blair: I meant what I said on the phone. I need your help. We need your help. Or for worse. GG: Watch out, S. Just because you finally tell the truth doesn't mean there won't be consequences. GG: Spotted: Blair and Chuck reunited to defend Serena's honor. With friends like these who needs armies? GG: If I were you, S., I'd be worried. In the city that never sleeps a lot can happen in one night. Sweet dreams, Serena. XOXO Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl: They say love conquers all. But maybe love never met Georgina Sparks. Poor Humphrey. Looks like our resident moral compass isn't such a straight arrow after all. GG: The only thing feared by the spawn of Satan? Mom and Dad. Leave it to Blair Waldorf to know that bitches don't just happen. They're made. By parents even more wicked than their offspring. GG: Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today, in the face of this company, to watch this man and this woman totally F things up. Excuse me while I pull out a hanky and pass it to S and D. Looks like I'm not the only one who cries at weddings. Gossip Girl: They say a leopard can't change his spots. But some things do change. The path not taken can become a road trip. Being grounded can lead to something groundbreaking. And whether they're sweating it out on the sultry sidewalks or cooling their heels in the Hamptons, no one does summer like New Yorkers. Grab

your shades and your sunblock. This one looks like a scorcher. Until next time. You know you love me. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Unlike the rest of us, sex, lies and scandal never take a vacation. Instead, they take the Long Island Expressway and head east. To the Hamptons. Some would say summer is their busiest season. Think Park Avenue. But with tennis whites and ban de soleil. The players change, but the game remains the same. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Blair Waldorf at Charles de Gaulle, homeward bound. What could possibly make Queen B. abandon her two dads before Labor Day? We bet Chuck Bass wants to know. Also spotted: Serena Van Der Woodsen on Cooper's Beach. Alone again. We've heard talk that things are heating up with Nate Archibald. And where there's smoke, there's usually fire. But if that's the case, why has Nate fallen right off our radar and Serena is always sighted solo? Wonder what she'd do if she knew Lonely Boy wasn't so lonely anymore. From the actual text: SPOTTED: Blair Waldorf at CDG, claiming her premiere space en LEspace Premiere a whole week early. Now what could make Queen B abandon her dads and come home une minute before Labor Day? I have a million questions, but I bet Chuck Bass is the answer to all of them. Gossip Girl: As for Little J, looks like this summer has been all work and no play. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Chuck Bass waiting for the Jitney. A dozen roses in one hand, his heart in the other. You know what they say, a man is a good thing to come home for. But an even better thing to come home with. Ain't karma a bitch? We know Blair Waldorf is. Gossip Girl: Sometimes the stars align for two old friends to go together. But sometimes they align for two old flames to totally combust. Wonder what the sky holds for S tonight. Friendship. Or fireworks. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Serena and Nate in a massive display of PDA. And that's exactly what Dan Humphrey is. Pretty. Damn. Angry. Gossip Girl: When words get in the way, there's really only one thing left to do. Gossip Girl: They say summer love is fleeting, but sometimes what starts as a fling can lead to the real thing. A simple trip to the beach could be all it takes to clear our heads and open our hearts. And write a new ending to an old story. There are those who got burned by the heat. They just want to forget and start over. While there are others who want each moment to last forever. But everyone can agree on one thing: tans fade, highlights go dark and we all get sick of sand in our shoes. But the end of summer is the beginning of a new season. So we find ourselves looking to the future. You ain't seen nothin' yet. XOXO Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl: As summer comes an end, I'd like to share a few things I've learned about fun in the sun. Gossip Girl Summer Tip #1: Don't fall asleep on the job. The best hookups are free of morning breath and awkward conversation. The only thing harder than making up is waking up. Gossip Girl: Summer Tip #2: There is no "we" in summer. Only you and me. Find out where you stand before you find yourself stood up. Anyone can canoodle in July and August, but will he be gone by September? Gossip Girl: Tip #3: Take time to smell the flowers. It's true that all good things must come to an end, and August is no exception. They don't call it "fall" for nothing. GG: Cheers to that, Blair. Nothing says welcome home like a bottle of bubbly. And a scandal bubbling. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Chuck Bass putting his new BFF on speed dial. Is it the beginning of a beautiful bromance? Or the end of Blair's bid to be British? Gossip Girl: Lordy, lordy, look who's 40. Or at least a well-preserved 38. Is this risky business or strictly business? Gossip Girl: What's this? Chuck's date and Blair's date are mother and son? And Nate and Blair are exes? And Nate and the mother are in a book club? Now there's a novel plot twist. GG: Every summer, vacationers traverse the globe in search of new sights and experiences. But when it comes to scandal, I'll take Manhattan every time. Welcome home, Upper East Siders. You know you missed me. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: In these last hazy days of summer, a few simple tips to beat the heat. One: drink plenty of fluids. Two: stay out of the sun. Three: limit all physical activity. That is, within reason. Gossip Girl: And if the heat's still too much, there's always a cold shower. Gossip Girl: Spotted: S and Lonely Boy locking lips like all is forgiven. Will Round Two be any different? Gossip Girl: Rumor is Nate Archibald has a hidden lady. Careful, N. Secrets don't keep long in this heat. Gossip Girl: Sorry to break it to you, B. But this party just went over to the dark side. Gossip Girl: Looks like Lady B is determined to have it all. The question is, who with?

Gossip Girl: Spotted: Lady B acting not so lady-like. Hope you kept the receipt for that tiara, B. Gossip Girl: Love may fade with the season, but some friendships are year round. Like you and me. You know you love me. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Wakey wakey, Upper East Siders. Welcome to the first day of senior year and the onset of a new social dynasty. The big question is: with Serena single and on top of the world, will Constance become the House of Van der Woodsen? Gossip Girl: Looks like Humphrey defied our Great Expectations and Waldorfs Rules of Order. Daring to date before Serena? It's only a matter of time before it's off with his head. Or hers. Gossip Girl: What Dan Humphrey does with the other serfs in the village is his business. But when he brings his new maiden to court, it's a declaration of war. Sound the trumpets, strumpets. Gossip Girl: Spotted: a beautiful blonde phoenix rising from the ashes of a major public humiliation. Serena: Never again. From now on, everything goes through me. Welcome back, Queen Serena. Consider us your humbled servants. 'Cause if looks could kill we wouldn't want to be Dan Humphrey. Gossip Girl: Sorry Lonely Boy. Don't say we didn't try to warn you. But if Queen S. would do this to D. are any of us safe? Bow down or bow out. XOXO. Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: When the white tents blossom in Bryant Park it can only mean one thing: Fashion Week. The time of year when any Park Ave Princess would trade her last Prada for front row seats to the best shows. And we hear the seating chart for Eleanor Waldorf's show is being made by our very own B. Gossip Girl: What would Fashion Week be without a fashion victim? Looks like Little J. just started her own trend: wearing a bulls eye on her back. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Dan Humphrey. Shoeless and clueless. That's all. Gossip Girl: They say in fashion you can become a success overnight. But one minute you're in, and the next you're out. Gossip Girl: If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there would be no gossip without secrets. You might be brave enough to reveal your secret only to have it used against you. Or someone else's secret might effect you in unexpected ways. There are some secrets you're only too happy to keep. Others surface only to be buried away deeper than they were before. But the most powerful secrets are the truths you thought you could never reveal. That once spoken change everything. But don't worry, B. The

brightest stars burn out the fastest. Or at least that's what I heard. Waiting for a star to fall. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Rise and shine, early birds. Gossip Girl here. We all have dreams. Some good, some bad. Some fun and Freudian. And some are the dreams we've had our whole lives. Gossip Girl: Gossip Girl's hardly a war buff, but I did cram for a quiz or two on the American Revolution. The last time New Haven was invaded was in 1779. Heads up, B. There's a cannonball coming your way. Gossip Girl: We hear there's nothing like Yale in October. The crisp air, the turning leaves. The invasion of prospective freshman. Better hurry up, Lonely Boy. Your future's waiting. Gossip Girl: When it comes to war, the rule is Never retreat, never surrender. But whoever said that never met the new Serena. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Little Jenny Humphrey. Off her high horse and in high demand. Gossip Girl: Poor S. She should know B's rules by now. When someone leaves you off the list, don't get mad. Get in. Gossip Girl: From comrades to combat we thought we'd seen it all. But we've never seen this. Serena and Blair calling a cease fire. With so much scorched earth, can either side claim victory? Gossip Girl: Dreams. Everybody has them. Some good. Some bad. Some you wish you could forget. Sometimes you realize you've outgrown them. Sometimes you feel like they're finally coming true. And some of us just have nightmares. But no matter what you the dream, when morning comes, reality intrudes and the dream begins to slip away. Dream a little dream of me. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: There's nothing quite like Autumn in New York. But it's not only the leaves that change. Something in the air brings out the true colors in everyone. Gossip Girl: This just in: Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass placing a wager on the takedown of Lonely Boy's BFF. We think we've heard this story before. And we're pretty sure it ended up with everyone dead. Gossip Girl: Whoever said you can't have it all must have known the Archibald's. Looks like poor little Nate is... yuck. Poor. Gossip Girl: Careful B. One thing about making a deal with the Devil: he always comes to collect.

Gossip Girl: Looks like the Bass housewarming party just got a little colder. Serena's walk down memory lame has her heading out the door. Gossip Girl: Poor Chuck Bass. You made your bet. Now you have to lie in it. Gossip Girl: Just like the seasons, people have the ability to change. It doesn't happen very often but when it does it's almost always right. Lily: You killed the story, didn't you? Bart: I already put out the hit. Gossip Girl: Sometimes it takes what's broken becoming whole again. Rufus: What happened? Gossip Girl: Sometimes it takes opening up to new people and letting them in. Dan: Hope you don't mind but we've got a lodger. So I'll make up the sofa. Jenny: I'll get the ice cream. Rufus: And I'll get the guitar and the Songs of the 80s Fakebook. I'm thinking Wham! Almost forgot: make yourself at home. Gossip Girl: But most times it takes just one person who is truly afraid to show what they feel. Getting an opportunity they never thought possible. Gossip Girl: And some things never change. Let a new game begin. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Every girl fantasizes about finding her Prince Charming. But if that Prince refuses to come... Dorota: You are late. Time for breakfast. Blair: I'll be down in a minute. I just have to finish something. A girl has to take matters into her own hands. Dorota: Don't forget: God always watching Miss Blair. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Upper East Side beauty laying down the gauntlet for her favorite beast. But careful Princess, it's going to take more than a little leg to get this Prince to ravish you. Gossip Girl: Sorry J. But in the real world you can't take a note to the principal when a drunken model eats your homework. Gossip Girl: Sometimes the most important thing to know is when to get out. And when to give in. Gossip Girl: What have we here? Jenny Humphrey caught in her knickers by Nate. Her knight in shining Armani.

Gossip Girl: The problem with fairy tales is that they set a girl up for disappointment. In real life, the Prince goes off with the wrong Princess. Or the spell wears off and two lovers realize they're better off as... well, whatever they are. Gossip Girl: But I'll confess. Every once in awhile a girl craves her fairy tale ending. So sleep tight, kiddies. It seems like Little J. got her happily ever after. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Spotted at Mood: Jenny Humphrey buying 16 yards of tuille. But since when does Eleanor Waldorf pay for her purchases with a penny jar? They say a stitch in time saves nine. Will it save Little J? Gossip Girl: I spy with my little lie. Someone getting busted. Gossip Girl: Rumor has it that Lady B's been outfoxed by a young fox. It seems only one ivory tower is being stormed tonight. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Bass taking the bait. Jail bait, that is. Gossip Girl: It seems the saying's true. Like mother, like daughter. Or is it the other way around? Gossip Girl: Spotted at The Palace. Nate Archibald and Little J. We hear Lonely Boy's BFF still carries a torch for Nate. If she finds out about Little Sister, wonder who'll get burnt? Gossip Girl: Looks like it's bros before hos with Little J. Who knew that when her loyalty kicked in Nate would be kicked out. Gossip Girl: Poor Jenny. All that glamour almost led to the slammer. But what will the morning bring? Gossip Girl: S and B are headed for Yale. Nate's headed out of town, and Dan's headed for trouble. As for Little J? She's nowhere to be seen. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Spotted: S and A bringing sexy back to Times Square. Move over Disney, 42nd Street is steaming up. Gossip Girl: Did Brooklyn Boy really think he could bury the bone in the backyard and no one would find it? Every Bass will have his day. Gossip Girl: Looks like B's prophecy came true. One day you're a muse. The next day you're old news. Gossip Girl: Poor Little Orphan Jenny. Looks like she needs a Daddy Warbucks. But Daddy Warbucks don't grow on trees. At least not a tree in Brooklyn.

Gossip Girl: Some surprises hit you over the head like a squash racket. And others sneak up on you when you're least expecting it. Gossip Girl: And sometimes the biggest surprises are the ones you spring on yourself. Scampering about in a slip is one way to shed old skin. But will embracing free love be as easy as flinging off a pair of Fendi flats? Looks like someone's going barefoot in the park. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: For the rest of the country, Thanksgiving is when families come together to give thanks. But on the Upper East Side, the holiday thankfully returns to its roots: lying, manipulation and betrayal. And from what we here, just like the Indians, someone else is being pushed out of their home. Gossip Girl: Just like Nate Archibald, Gossip Girl has a family waiting for her today. So although I'd love to stay and chat, I'm signing off until after Thanksgiving dinner. Just in time for coffee, pie and surveying the damage. Gossip Girl: As the end of another holiday draws near, I'd like to take a moment to list all the things I'm thankful for. I'm thankful that no matter how dark things might get, old friendships can still be rekindled. I'm thankful for new relationships that help us realize how far we've come from who we are. And how close we get when we can really be ourselves. I'm thankful that no matter what they say, you can go home again. Whether it's your home or not. But the thing I'm most thankful for? How even on the most giving of days, people can still do something unforgivable. Signed, stealed and delivered, I'm yours. XOXO Gossip Girl Gossip Girl: Winter in New York: A Gossip Girl Checklist to Surviving the Cold. Cashmere stole for ice skating at Wollman Rink. Jacques Torres hot chocolate for window shopping the holiday displays. And the perfect date to the senior snowflake charity ball. Gossip Girl: Sorry ladies. For those of you who were hoping to find Nate Archibald under your tree, looks like he's already picked out his mistletoe mate. Gossip Girl: Snowflake or snowfake? Either way it's going to be a ball. Gossip Girl: Poor Vanessa. Even Cinderella was given the courtesy of a stealth getaway. Then again, what's a trio of lovely stepsisters compared to Jenny Humphrey. Looks like it might turn out to be an "Unhappily Ever After" for everyone. O BROTHER, WHERE BART THOU? Gossip Girl: More towers than Trump, more bucks than Bloomberg. Bart Bass definitely made his mark on Manhattan. The passing of a public figure can shake a whole town. But the real story is always the one happening in private. Away from the headlines. At home. Gossip Girl: They say that when someone dies, their secrets are buried with them. But on the Upper East Side, sometimes the dead still speak. Gossip Girl: If the Lord is our Shepherd, looks like one of his lambs has lost his way. Or maybe, make that a black sheep. We bring nothing into this world and we leave nothing behind. But that doesn't mean we don't leave a big ol' mess when we go.

Gossip Girl: Spotted: Chuck Bass fleeing his father's funeral. And Blair Waldorf shedding tears for the dearly departed. Gossip Girl: We hear Chuck Bass isn't the only one who lost someone he loved this week. Our deepest condolences, Miss Waldorf. XOXO Gossip Girl. IN THE REALM OF THE BASSES Gossip Girl: Gossip Girl here, welcoming you to the New Year. When Manhattanites who flew south for the sun return to their Park Avenue perches. Which means I have a lot of catching up to do. Word is, Serena van der Woodsen tangoed in the New Year in the plazas of Buenos Aires. Guess that means Lonely Boy was all alone when the clock tolled twelve. And what of Little J? Rumor is she's trading runways for hallways. So long high fashion, hello high school. Blair Waldorf has been spotted making inroads at The Colony Club. With high school nearing its end, has Queen B. found a new social ladder to climb? So the only real question remaining: Where in the world is Chuck Bass? And is he ever coming back? Gossip Girl: Spotted: S. and Lonely Boy kicking off the New Year like it's last year. Who knows, maybe third time's a charm. But let's not break out the bubbly just yet. Gossip Girl: Pop quiz: What do you get when you cross Chuck Bass, a billion dollars, and Bart cold in the ground? Chuck: For you, Headmistress, anything. Gossip Girl: Freefall. Chuck: Everyone. It has been a pleasure. takes out another hash cigarette Jack: So what kinda suspension we lookin' at? Gossip Girl: New Year, but same old story. The darkest secrets are always the ones that hit closest to home. Gossip Girl: Spotted at Victrola: Lonely Boy and Chuck Bass, having a heart-to-heart. What or who do they have to talk about? And will Serena be the last to know? Gossip Girl: One thing about being on top of the world? It gives you a long, long way to fall. Gossip Girl: Ah me. The year's scarcely turned and already the secrets have begun. Where will it end this time? The New Year isn't about what's happened. It's about what's to come. But the past is always with us. Just waiting to mess with the present. And when it does, I'll be watching. XOXO Gossip Girl. GONE WITH THE WILL Gossip Girl: When most people lose a parent, they inherit sorrow, loss and a closest full of outdated clothes. But on the Upper East Side death's sad chapter comes with a silver lining. Or a gold one if your relatives invested wisely in precious metals. Gossip Girl: Is lowly Lonely Boy cheating on our Queen? Sound unlikely? Does the name "Georgina" ring a bell? Get out your shovels and start digging the dirt, kids. Gossip Girl's going to need a little help getting to the bottom of this mess. Gossip Girl: What's it going to be, Chuck? Business and Blair or cocktails and coquettes? Gossip Girl: Looks like Chuck Bass made his choice. But careful, Bass. Now that you're a big fish there are a lot more sharks in this pond. Gossip Girl: Hold on to your floppy cable-knit hats, kids. Lonely Boy's secret is out and this one's a doozy. D wasn't cheating but there's definitely a third party involved.

Seems D and S share a sibling. While I'm always a fan of star-crossed lovers, at least Romeo and Juliet didn't share DNA. Gossip Girl: Oh Chuck. Didn't your father teach you: Never mix business with pleasure. Gossip Girl: The problem with inheritance is that it's not always as simple as it sounds. Sometimes you get more than you bargained for. Or you discover that in gaining one thing you've lost something else. But every once in awhile, the fate's smile upon you. And you get the one thing you really need. XOXO Gossip Girl YOUVE GOT YALE Gossip Girl: True love and betrayal. Revenge and more revenge. A heroine with an impossible goal. If only Mozart had lived on the Upper East Side. But you can keep your magic flute, Amadeus. All this Queen wants is a golden ticket to Yale. Gossip Girl: They say that it's not over 'till the fat lady sings. But who's that I hear tuning up in the wings? Sorry, B. I think it's curtains. Gossip Girl: Spotted: B hot for teacher. Too bad Miss Carr doesn't remember the devil is in the details. Gossip Girl: Sticks and stones may break bones. But a poisoned pen is the best revenge. Gossip Girl: The thing about new beginnings is that they require something else to end... Gossip Girl: Some endings take a long time to reveal themselves, but when they do they're almost too easy to ignore... Some beginnings start so quietly you don't even notice they're happening. But most endings come when you least expect them. And what they portend is darker than you've ever imagined. Not all beginnings are cause for celebration. A lot of bad things begin. Fights, flu season, and the worst thing all... Wanna be startin' something. XOXO Gossip Girl CARNAL KNOWLEDGE Gossip Girl: While Upper East Siders are hitting the snooze button, Blair Waldorf had a rude awakening when the rooster crowed at dawn this morning. Gossip Girl: Every great leader knows, you don't send your girls into the field unarmed. If we know Blair Waldorf munitions are on their way. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Lonely Boy going from Teacher's Pet to persona non grata. In the pitter patter of a heartbeat. Gossip Girl: Sometimes the only thing left to do is wrap your arms around each other one last time and then just... let go. Gossip Girl: They say every action has an equal and opposite reaction. And once something is set in motion, it can't help but build momentum. Gossip Girl: One thing is certain on the Upper East Side: what goes around comes around. XOXO Gossip Girl. THE AGE OF DISSONANCE Gossip Girl: On the Upper East Side all the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players. But once a year, Constance/St. Jude students shed their usual roles and take on new ones for the senior class play. This year's pick? The Age of Innocence.

Gossip Girl: Before Gossip Girl there was Edith Wharton. And how little has changed. The same society snobs still reigned. Only in corsets and horse-drawn carriages. Gossip Girl: Every actress eventually finds the hook into her character. Even if sometimes life has to give her a little push. But don't worry, B. When God closes a door he opens a play. Gossip Girl: Wanna hear the sickest scandal ever? Remember B's Lord? Turns out he was giving the royal treatment to his own Queen Mother. And the worst part? B knew and ignored it. How desperate can you be, B? Gossip Girl: Poor Miss Iowa. Caught playing Mrs. Robinson. Looks like the teacher just got schooled. Gossip Girl: Yale's hallowed halls have gone to hell. S got accepted. But not for her SAT scores. Allowing a press release was her only prerequisite. [Turns out the Dean cares more about Q scores than quality.] Gossip Girl: In life as in art, some endings are bittersweet. Especially when it comes to love. Sometimes fate throws two lovers together, only to rip them apart. Dorota: Miss Blair is out, Mr. Chuck. Chuck: I'll wait. Gossip Girl: Sometimes the hero finally makes the right choice. But the timing is all wrong. And, as they say, timing is everything. Carter: Hello Beautiful. Blair: Carter. What are you doing here? Carter: Buying you a drink. Gossip Girl: Looks like this story might just have a second act. Let's hope it's not a tragedy. XOXO Gossip Girl THE GRANDFATHER Gossip Girl: Springtime on the Upper East Side. Where the winter chill is supposed to be so last season. But when mittens and scarves are still all the rage, the best thing you can do is just button up and hope for warmer days. Gossip Girl: Looks like V is leading a lost lamb back to the flock. And C is coming to B. Sheepishly bearing gifts. Gossip Girl: We hear Carter Baizen's dealt Chuck another losing hand. But rest assured, Upper East Siders. Chuck always has a card up his sleeve. Gossip Girl: Spotted: B taking one small step for new Blair. One giant step towards a strange townhouse. Enter at your own risk B. Gossip Girl: Poor B. Couldn't spin this one in her favor. Looks like now she's spinning out. Gossip Girl: The danger with calling someone's bluff is that even if you win. Blair: Goodbye Chuck. Gossip Girl: you risk them walking away from the table for good. And who wants to play with themselves? Gossip Girl: Call your travel agent, kiddies. Looks like Nate Archibald traded in a summer of love for a one-way ticket to his legacy. Gossip Girl: Springtime. A season for rebirth and new beginnings. For some it's a chance to turn over a new leaf. Gossip Girl: For others, it's the surprise of seeing something bloom. Blair to Nate: Wait. Stay.

Gossip Girl: But for yours truly, it's a reminder that on the Upper East Side, everything old can be new again. XOXO Gossip Girl REMAINS OF THE J Gossip Girl: Mornings are simply more fun on the Upper East Side. Our favorite things to wake up to? The sun in the sky, the Nikkei on the rise, and a wake-up call from your lover. Or your best friend. Gossip Girl: Spotted: S learning he answer to the age-old question. What if you were throwing a party and no one cared? When that happens, don't cancel Serena: Poppy. Hey it's Serena. You know that party I was telling you about. I was hoping we could meet up. I need your help. Make them eat cake. Gossip Girl: And when you're not from the Upper East Side, sometimes morning is just the start to a very bad day. Gossip Girl: Poor B. It's hard to turn up the heat with an old flame. But stand back. Someone's about to add fuel to this fire. Gossip Girl: Spotted: two people who should know better. And two people that don't know what hit them. Gossip Girl: Uh oh. Looks like someone's up to their old tricks. And just in time too. Cuidado, Espaa. Here comes el problema. Gossip Girl: Mistakes. We all make them. They usually start with the best of intentions. Like keeping a secret to protect someone. Or getting some distance from the person you've become. Sometimes we don't even know what mistakes we've made to get us where we are. Or we figure it out just in time to make it right again. But every mistake happens for a reason. To teach you a lesson you would otherwise never learn. Gossip Girl: And hopefully you never make that mistake again. Lucky for me, that never happens. XOXO Gossip Girl SEDER ANYTHING Gossip Girl: When you lose hope in a dream sometimes all you're left with is sleepless nights. While some call the doctor for a refill, I find the best solution is a full social calendar. Gossip Girl: Oh B. Too bad you weren't invited to Nate and Trip's lunch. 'Cause whatever happened looks like you're the one paying. Gossip Girl: Uh oh B. Looks like you hitched your wagon to a falling star. Baruch hata, Ay dios mio! This Passover is going to get its own Spanish Inquisition. Gossip Girl: Watch out, B. seems like just when you've got it right seems like William van der Bilt is going to do you wrong. Gossip Girl: Ah cruel fate. Just as Serena van der Woodsen is falling in love, Blair Waldorf is falling apart. Gossip Girl: On Passover we ask, Why is it that this night is different than any night? But who are we kidding. Poppy: So. Tell me everything. Gossip Girl: Tonight's no different from the rest. These things always happen around here. Shalom. Gossip Girl SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES

Gossip Girl: Eventually every queen finds herself in unfamiliar territory outside the castle walls. In Blair Waldorf's case, the Village. Gossip Girl: And when a queen discovers her best maiden is with a dragon in disguise, the only thing to do is pull up the drawbridge and trap him. Metaphorically of course. Gossip Girl: Queen of Hearts or Queen of Heartache? Careful B, cut off the head of one love triangle, one of your own might grow back in its place. Gossip Girl: Sometimes a queen has to make a choice: a castle with a white knight. Or a quest with a dark prince. So B, what'll it be? Netflix night with Nate or battling a beast with Bass? Gossip Girl: Get out your brooms, kids. We're off to see the Wicked Witch of the Upper East Side. Gossip Girl: And eventually a queen realizes that a dark knight only has one thing on his mind. And it ain't slaying dragons. So she takes her pumpkin carriage and goes back to the castle. Gossip Girl: Oh dear queen, heed the words of a king. Look like an angel, talk like an angel, the devil in disguise. XOXO. THE WRATH OF CON Gossip Girl: Four wise men once said, "I get by with a little help from my friends". Chuck: Do you have a glass in this thing? No, man. What do you think this is? Gossip Girl: But on the Upper East Side there's the added challenge of figuring out who those friends really are. Gossip Girl: Looks like Georgina's losing her religion. Or has B met her match in the battle for G's soul? Gossip Girl: They say that numbers don't lie and money talks. But can Georgina still speak Poppy's language. Gossip Girl: Oh no. We warned you no good would come from spinning a wicked web. You just get all tangled up in your wicked lies. Rufus: Please return this for me. And the more you twist, the tighter the trap. Chuck: I need you to dig up what dirt you can on the offices of the 55th precinct. Nate: Detective Sanders? Yes, my grandfather William van der Bilt said you could help me get some information. Blair: Serena's mom gave her that bracelet. It's been in the family for years. She couldn't have stolen it. Gossip Girl: Until you're locked in a prison of your own making. Smile for the camera S. XOXO Gossip Girl. THE VALLEY GIRLS Gossip Girl: For those who complain about the youth of today, if you think we're bad you should have seen our parents. Gossip Girl: Ah. Who knew the Motherchucker could also play Fairy Godmother. But if C just made B's dreams come true, why does it feel like our queen is standing with the wrong king? Gossip Girl: Shoulder pads may come and go, but a BFF is forever. Because even when you're not sure where you're headed, it helps to know you're not going there

alone. No one has all the answers. And sometimes the best we can do is just apologize. And let the past be the past. Other times, we need to look to the future. And know that even when we think we've seen it all, life can still surprise us. And we can still surprise ourselves. XOXO Gossip Girl THE GOODBYE GOSSIP GIRL Gossip Girl: You wanted to meet Gossip Girl? Well, look around. I'm nothing without you. And while most high school friendships fade, it's my hope that what happened today will bond you forever. Now that all my secrets are out, you have a clean slate. Until college. Congratulations, I'm coming with you. Gossip Girl: Serena van der Woodsen just couldn't leave well enough alone. Since she had to find out the truth about me, I'm going to tell you the truth about everyone. Every gossip bomb I've got is about to drop, and if you've got a problem with that, take it up with her. Ever wonder why Miss Carr left town? It's because Dan Humphrey had sex with her during the school play... Gossip Girl: Not so fast. You're not graduating until I give you my diplomas. Mine are labels, and labels stick. Nate Archibald: Class whore. Dan Humphrey: The ultimate insider. Chuck Bass: Coward. Blair Waldorf: Weakling. And as for Serena van der Woodsen, after today, you are officially irrelevant. Congratulations, everyone. You deserve it. REVERSALS OF FORTUNE Gossip Girl: Welcome back, Upper East Siders. After a long, hot summer away I see it didn't take much time for you to dirty up the clean slates I gave you. My inbox is overflowing, so let's get to the good stuff shall we? Spotted: Chuck Bass up to his old tricks. Poor B. I guess nothing good lasts forever. Gossip Girl: As for a certain leggy blonde by a Hamptons pool, looks like Serena left big shoes to fill. And someone finds them the perfect fit. Gossip Girl: As for Serena van der Woodsen, you left America a star. But after your exploits in Europe you've come back a supernova. And yet nothing explodes without a fuse. I wonder whator wholit yours. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Serena van der Woodsen giving Carter Bassin the slip. We've all seen the selects but what happened between them when TMZ was MIA? Something tells me the truth is just out of focus. This just in: an unlikely alliance is forming on the Upper East Side. Too bad it may be too late to do any good. Gossip Girl: Forget a grand entrance. Everybody knows it's the exit they'll remember. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Blair Waldorf learning that just because you get out of the game doesn't mean there isn't someone waiting on the bench to take your place. Gossip Girl: Growing up means one thing: independence. We all want it. Sometimes we use other people to try and get it for ourselves. Sometimes we find it in each other. Sometimes our independence comes at the cost of something else. And our cost can be high. Because more often than not, in order to gain our independence we have to fight. Never give up. Never surrender. XOXO Gossip Girl THE FRESHMEN Gossip Girl: Every fall confident high school seniors transform into nervous college freshmen. They leave their parents homes for the hallowed halls of education. And

like any new venture, starting college holds the promise of limitless opportunity. The opportunity to conquer new territory. Or to try and be a little less lonely. But just because the opportunity presents itself doesn't mean everybody is ready to take it. Gossip Girl: Rah rah sis boom bah. Georgina's pulled a coup d'etat. This is going to be a blast. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Blair Waldorf. Going from VIP to VD. Poor Blair. How are you going to cure this one? Gossip Girl: Forget the Four Horsemen. The real evidence the world is coming to an end? Blair Waldorf needing Dan Humphrey to rescue her from social extinction. Gossip Girl: Seems that Blair Waldorf has finally found Jesus. And invited Him to crash the party. Gossip Girl: Uh oh, B. Looks like your new flock was just led astray. And by Dan Humphrey, no less. I guess they know a false prophet when they see one. Gossip Girl: Apparently higher education doesn't make for smarter decisions. So take out your notebooks and sharpen your pencils, kids. Gossip Girl's going to college. And this class has a lot to learn. THE LOST BOY Gossip Girl: Morning in New York. Time to wake up from bad dreams, roll out of the beds we've made, and start making plans for a brighter future. Gossip Girl: When faced with an uncertain future, the questions we truly hate to ask are the ones we we fear we already know the answer to. Gossip Girl: They say honesty is the best policy. Gossip Girl: I hope everyone's policies are paid up, because it looks like we're on a collision course. Gossip Girl: Turns out photographs won't be the only thing up for grabs tonight. A priceless secret is on the auction block. And the bidding begins now. Gossip Girl: Sorry Vanessa. Looks like the price of truth was just too rich for Scott's blood. Gossip Girl: In a bidding war, even when you win what you thought you wanted can be reappraised. Gossip Girl: Other times, old opponents resurface to raise the stakes. But it's the things we walk away from that feel like they cost the most. And yet, it's when we've been outbidforced to watch our prize go home with othersthat the rules of protocol no longer apply. I wouldn't put you paddles away just yet. Who knows what bidders will do when they're desperate. Gossip Girl: Anyone want to start the bidding on what happens next? Going once, going twice. XOXO Gossip Girl DAN DE FLEURETTE Gossip Girl: The first day of a new queen's reign. Nervous subjects twitter and tweet. Will she continue where the old queen left off, or strike out on her own? And what of Queen B? We hear NYU is not yet under her golden thumb. Is she biding her time or simply doing time? But the real story this morning is a queen of the silver screen just enrolled at NYU. Rumor has it she wants to keep a low profile. Sorry your majesty, not if I can help it.

Gossip Girl: Well well. Word is that change is in the air at Constance Billard. I have to wonder when Queen B finds out how Little J is treating her legacy will she let it slide? Gossip Girl: Poor S. No one told her this was going to be a horror movie. Gossip Girl: Spotted on the red carpet: Jenny Humphrey on the arm of the Red Baron, Chuck Bass. Guess Queen B isn't starring in this melodrama. Gossip Girl: If you ask me, we go to the movies because we want to see fairytales. A sleeping queen woken by her true love's kiss. A princess who puts aside her jewels to make her way in the world. Lovers torn apart being brought back together. But life isn't a fairytale. And happy endings are few and far between. In life the young queen becomes a tyrant. And takes her subjects to war. So that's why we need movies. To remind us that, despite it all, love can still spring in the most unlikely of places. And that sometimes, even fairytales can come true. XOXO Gossip Girl RUFUS GETTING MARRIED Gossip Girl: Some say love is a river, some says love's a silly song. Some say love is all around us. It lifts us up where we belong. Some say love is hearing laughter in the rain. But on the Upper East Side, we all know love is pain. Gossip Girl: Some say love is a secret you keep sealed. But to Georgina Sparks, love is a battlefield. Gossip Girl: Put on those dancing shoes, kids. Looks like we're going to the chapel. Gossip Girl: Looks like this wedding song just became Stormy Weather. But don't worry. Here comes the sun. Gossip Girl: Ah. The Wedding March. Here comes... the awkward pause. Looks like the wedding dress might have a runaway train. Gossip Girl: Oo oo, Love Child. Things didn't get any easier. Might have to move the honeymoon suite to the Heartbreak Hotel. Gossip Girl: Spotted: A family reunited. And it feels so good. Gossip Girl: There are songs that make us want to dance. Songs that make us want to sing along. But the best songs are the ones that bring you back to the moment you first heard them. And once again, break your heart. XOXO Gossip Girl ENOUGH ABOUT EVE Gossip Girl: Careful V. Don't send out your invitations just yet. We hear another girl has her eye on the prize. Thought things are rarely as simple as they appear. And something tells me we're in for a show. Gossip Girl: Uh oh. Looks like Carter's going down to Texas. And Trip's career is going up in smoke. Rufus: Hey. You made it! Gabriela: Rufus. Come here. would you let me look at you! Lay off the caffeine. It's giving you wrinkles. Rufus: Eh. I'm just sorry Arlo couldn't make it. Gabriela: He says hello. He had to finish installing solar panels on the chicken coop at the co-op. Gossip Girl: As for Lonely Boy, I suspect tonight is going to be strictly a family affair to remember. Gossip Girl: Sorry ladies. Les jeux sont faits. Thanks for playing. Each other.

Gossip Girl: Nice try, ladies. You came out swinging but never stood a chance against a Hollywood heavyweight. Gossip Girl: When it comes to family we're all still children at heart. No matter how old we get, we always need a place to call home. Because without the people you love most you can't help but feel all alone in the world. Gossip Girl: Fortunately, misery loves company. Well. For now at least. XOXO Gossip Girl HOW TO SUCCEED IN BASSNESS Gossip Girl: All Hallow's Eve. The one day of the year it's socially acceptable to play dress-up. The only question is, who do you want to be? There are costumes to make men feel like boys again. Or turn little girls into queens. Gossip Girl: Spotted: One star with her hand in the cookie jar. Even Paris Hilton knows our Lonely Boy is going to be getting a Halloween treat. Gossip Girl: Looks like someone's Ghosts of Tricks Past have come back to haunt this Halloween. Gossip Girl: Looks like little Chuck finally stepped out from Big Bad Bart's shadow. Too bad his girlfriend's still playing on the dark side. Gossip Girl: You really proved yourself with this one, S. Looks like your work troubles have turned into a labor of love. Gossip Girl: Like all god things the witching hour must come to an end. True natures are revealed. Tricks are turned into treats. And taking off costumes is as much fun as putting them on. Except for little girls who forget that Halloween is only one night. They wear their costumes for so long pretty soon they can't even remember who they were before they put them on. XOXO Gossip Girl THE GRANDFATHER: PART II Gossip Girl: In Manhattan some parties are VIP only. Others are strictly private. But some parties are political. And those lines are drawn by the most established of the establishment. And once those lines are drawn they can never be crossed. Gossip Girl: It looks like Trip's prayers have been answered with another Miracle on the Hudson. Are the van der Bilt's blessed with good luck? Or good timing? Gossip Girl: This election may be too close to call. But when it's his family's honor or his own, Nate Archibald has the number on speed dial. Gossip Girl: The polls are closed and Gossip Girl is calling this election. Dirty. Gossip Girl: Blair and Serena at war again. Yummy. Gossip Girl: Who would have thought that S and B's friendship had a term limit. Sorry ladies, party's over. Gossip Girl: Sometimes it's hard to see the lines we've drawn. Until we cross them. That's when we rely on the ones we love to pull us back. And give us something to hold on to. Gossip Girl: Then there are the clearly marked lines. The ones that if you dare cross you may never find your way back. XOXO Gossip Girl THEY SHOOT HUMPHREYS, DON'T THEY? Gossip Girl: Have you been so busy that you've forgotten what time of year it is? Let me give you a hint: couture, quadrilles and cutthroat competition. That's right. It's time for cotillion.

Gossip Girl: Just like the mob, New York prep schools have their own five families. You may be the John Gotti of Constance, Little J. But that doesn't mean you'll ever be a part of this Cosa Nostra. Gossip Girl: In the complicated world of debutante balls, one must choose her dance partner wisely. You never know when a hand on the hip can lead to a knife in the back. Gossip Girl: Oh uh, Little J. You stepped on Eric's toes one too many times. Now he's found a new partner. Who knows what could happen when these two start to tango. Gossip Girl: We hear Jenny Humphrey has landed Graham Collins as her escort. Better put on that lip gloss ladies. Looks like you'll be kissing Jenny Humphrey's ring by the end of the night. Gossip Girl: Spin your partner round and round. Looks like Little J is going down. Gossip Girl: Jenny Humphrey went to the ball. Jenny Humphrey had a great fall. And none of her minions, mentors or friends want to put Jenny together again. Gossip Girl: Oh E, you tried to play dirty at the dance. But you should know, nobody puts Jenny in the corner. And now she's having the time of her life. Gossip Girl: Some people think that when the party ends the night is over. But I've found it's when the music stops and the lights come up it's where the real trouble begins. Gossip Girl: You better get your beauty rest now. Because it looks like things could get ugly in the morning. XOXO Gossip Girl THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO STICK Gossip Girl: As a famed literary liar once told Oprah, memory is subjective. Memories can be embellished. Or denied. But as James Frey knows all too well, the truth always comes out. Gossip Girl: Don't forget yourself, Congressman. Your marriage could wind up in A Million Little Pieces. Gossip Girl: Uh oh, Playwright. Better whip out your pen. Looks like this cabaret just became a one-man show. Gossip Girl: Hey Prince Charming, looks like it's time for you to look in the enchanted mirror. Gossip Girl: So Snow White lives. But are Dan and Olivia dead? Gossip Girl: Sometimes it's after the curtains close that the real reckonings come. Whether it's about who we wish we were. Or who we wish we could be. Or who we want. THE TREASURE OF SERENA MADRE Gossip Girl: Thanksgiving began when Pilgrims and Indians came together to share the bountiful harvest. Gossip Girl: On the Upper East Side, that tradition is upheld with a bountiful harvest of secrets, lies and scandals. Lily: This is probably an over-step, but do you think you could convince him to spend part of your Thanksgiving with usyou know, force my daughter to have a little family time? Gossip Girl: Uh oh. Looks like someone's small Thanksgiving might just have a big problem. Maureen: Yes. Yes. We'd love to come.

Gossip Girl: May the Lord make us truly thankful for what we are about to receive. Gossip Girl: Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. And what am I most thankful for? The truth. Sometimes it's the truth you've been trying not to face. Or the truth that will change your life. Sometimes it's the truth that's a long time coming. Or the truth you prayed would never see the light of day. Some truths may not be heard the way we hoped they would. But they linger long after they've been said. But the kind of truth I'm most thankful for? The one you never see coming. That falls right into your lap. XOXO Gossip Girl. THE DEBARTED Gossip Girl: They say there are no accidents. Sometimes reality comes crashing into us. Other times it dawns on us slowly, despite our best efforts to ignore it. Gossip Girl: We make our own fortunes. And then call them fate. 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. No matter who's looking over our shoulder. Gossip Girl: Looks like the love nest has become a hornet's nest. And here comes Nate to stir it up. Gossip Girl: Spotted: The fall of a politician. And the rise of a hero. Poor Congressman. You've just been vetoed. Gossip Girl: Sinatra sings "New York, New York, it's a hell of a town. But on the Upper East Side sometimes it just feels like hell. Even where we're sure we've earned that happy ending, it doesn't always come. Second thoughts creep in. Secret missions sneak out. And only Sleeping Beauty finds her prince. In this city nothing's for certain. The night can push you forward into a dark future. Or plunge you into a mysterious past. THE HURT LOCKET Gossip Girl: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Seems Dickens knew something about life on the Upper East Side. Where the only thing you can count on is that time changes everything. Word has it S. gave up on politics to focus on issues closer to her heart. Gossip Girl: With enough time, we all find what we're looking for. Even if it was there all along. And when time slows and suddenly every moment counts, all you want is for this time to last forever. Gossip Girl: Heure, hora, [laat?]. No matter what language you say it in, looks like S. just started the clock on a ticking time bomb. Gossip Girl: So much for diplomacy. Let the international games begin. Gossip Girl: Sometimes, despite the risk, the only thing to do is seize the moment. Or whatever else you can grab. Gossip Girl: Could there be a secret even B can't crack? Only time will tell. Gossip Girl: With enough time eventually we all see what was right in front of us. And realize no matter how long it took, it was worth the wait. Gossip Girl: But for some, that time never comes. Instead of healing old wounds, the wait just open new ones. Time after time. XOXO Gossip Girl THE LADY VANISHED Gossip Girl: Get up and go at it, Upper East Side. I hear Little J is having foreign relations with a handsome attach. We always knew she had friends in high places, but how low will she go?

Gossip Girl: And just like that, we get the mother of all questions. Gossip Girl: Careful S. You may think you know what's best. But this time you might just be pushing your Chuck. Gossip Girl: Watch your step, Little J. Damien may be your drug of choice, but this looks like bad medicine. Gossip Girl: Well S. Looks like Chuck's mom isn't the only one with baggage. Gossip Girl:There comes a time when every father learns you can't keep a bad girl down. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Chuck Bass breaking bread with his mother. Looks like our Little Boy Lost is finally found. For now at least. XOXO Gossip Girl THE SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN Gossip Girl: From the day he brings his newborn girl home, a father lives in fear that someday she'll get hurt. That someday she'll hate him. And worst of all, that someday she'll grow up. Gossip Girl: There's always a moment a father can't let himself fear. The day his little J decides to lose her big V. Gossip Girl: Uh oh. Looks like this Virgin Queen's next accessory will be a chastity belt. Gossip Girl: Looks like the protestors outside aren't the only ones who think Bass is an ass. Gossip Girl: Looks like Little J is about to do some dirty dancing of her own. Gossip Girl: And just like that: Chuck Bass celebrating a new love. Gossip Girl: Careful, Chuck. It's an open heart that's vulnerable to the deepest wound. XOXO Gossip Girl THE EMPIRE STRIKES JACK Gossip Girl: They say the clothes make the man. But who makes the clothes? On the Upper East Side, it's Eleanor Waldorf. And we hear her new line is to die for. Gossip Girl: We hear Chuck's hotel is hanging on by a thread. And Jack's pulling all the strings. Gossip Girl: Careful J. The show's about to start. And it looks like Eleanor's line is going to bring a whole new meaning to high fashion. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Little J passing out in a taxi. Uh oh. Looks like somebody better call the fashion police. Gossip Girl: It seems chivalry isn't dead after all. Lucky for this damsel in a dress, something's never go out of fashion. Gossip Girl: If you are what you wear, you better dress the part you want. A few lucky ladies can do no wrong. Their looks: perfection. And they've got accessories to match. But most girls get tired of the same old look. And they'll do anything to get the hot new piece on their arm. And then there are those with no vision of their own. Thieves of fashion who will steal the shirt off your back. And always remember, appearances can be deceiving. But whatever you wear, always dress to kill. XOXO Gossip Girl INGLOURIOUS BASSTERDS Gossip Girl: Every war has its weapons. But on the Upper East Side the rules of battle are simple: there are no rules.

Gossip Girl: Careful, B. Jack Bass' weapon of choice comes fully loaded. And if he hits his target there'll be at least two victims. Gossip Girl: Attention Upper East Siders: Nate Archibald is MIA. Send tips and pics ASAP. Help Serena find her man. Gossip Girl: Careful B, don't forget your first rule of battle: beware of Basses bearing gifts. Gossip Girl: Uh oh, S. Looks like Little J's knives are sharpened. And she's ready to use them in the battle for Nate Archibald. Gossip Girl: When the battle ends and weapons are put away, new strategies take shape. Soldiers decide to fend for themselves. New alliances are made. But there are casualties. Gossip Girl: In matters of love and war, all weapons cause injury. The questions is, who will live to fight another day? XOXO Gossip Girl THE UNBLAIRABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING Gossip Girl: Up and at 'em, Upper East Siders. It's time to awake from our slumber and learn the hard truth. That some nightmares don't end once we open our eyes. Gossip Girl: Poor B just realized that Chuck will do anything to keep the flame alive. Carter: Hello Beautiful. Glad you came. Gossip Girl: As for Serena, looks like she's playing with fire. Gossip Girl: Surprise, S. A special delivery courtesy of Little J. I guess good things don't always come in small packages. Gossip Girl: Looks like Lily's caught in a lie. Guess it's the truth that's getting massaged. Gossip Girl: Poor Chuck. Looks like he's got a runaway bridesmaid on his hands. Gossip Girl: Goodbye Baizen. Hello Palm Beach. With Carter out of the picture, it looks like Serena's making room for Daddy. Gossip Girl: While most people think it's our brain that controls our actions, it's often our heart that gets the biggest workout. It can make us do the craziest of things. But it can also let us take a chance on new adventures. Because when we open our heart we can explore a world of love. And be pleasantly surprised by the people already in our life. But unfortunately our hearts are very sensitive. And when they're broken everything around us is shattered. Total eclipse of the heart. XOXO Gossip Girl. DR. ESTRANGELOVED Gossip Girl: On the Upper East Side, new days don't always bring new beginnings. But they almost always bring new surprises. Gossip Girl: Paging Serena van der Woodsen. After a lifetime in the Daddy waiting room, looks like the doctor is finally in. Gossip Girl: Prep the OR, kiddies. Looks like Jenny Humphrey is scrubbing up to surgically remove a boyfriend. Gossip Girl: Spotted: Nate Archibald suffering from a broken heart. Too bad he doesn't know Jenny's oath is less hippocratic and more hypocrite. Gossip Girl: In case you've never heard one before, that's the sound of a relationship flatlining. Gossip Girl: To revive a struggling relationship, there comes a point when we must stop protecting what we have

Serena: The reason I couldn't talk to you early, it's not about my dad. It's about my mom. She's sick. And I don't know what's going to happen. Gossip Girl: to allow for what we truly need. Moving forward can mean reaching out, reaching back, or reaching balance. Lily: Thank you, Rufus. I know William being back is hard for you. Rufus: All that matters is you getting better. Gossip Girl: And while new journeys can start with a single step, they can end just as quickly with a single misstep. Dan: Hey Vanessa, it's me. Listen, I just read your play. And it's amazing. I'm so so sorry. Please call me. Gossip Girl: And when even the healthiest relationship finds itself on life support, it's important to remember Will: It's Will. It's not working exactly as I'd hoped. I need you to write Lily another prescription.... Well you can't back out now. I need you to make this work. And I doubt the authorities would be pleased to know what you've been doing. Gossip Girl: on the Upper East Side, sometimes the wrong prescription is just what the doctor ordered. XOXO Gossip Girl. ITS A DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD WORLD Gossip Girl: It's said that we're all strapped to Fortune's wheel. Nowhere is this truer than the ever-changing landscape of love. As one couple enjoys an upswing, another is plunged downwards. But top or bottom, don't get too comfortable. Because the one thing you can rely on is that the wheel will keep on turning. Gossip Girl: Better watch out, Humphreys. They say love makes a family. But on the Upper East Side, everyone knows it's real estate. Gossip Girl: We hear Blair Waldorf's headed for a comeback. But if she wants to keep her friends happy, she better keep serving up the hits. Gossip Girl: Spotted: B, claiming to be a co-ed at Columbia. When everyone knows she's a zero at NYU. Poor B, first she lost Chuck and now her dignity. Gossip Girl: You make your bed, you lie in it B. Too bad yours is in the East Village. Gossip Girl: Ah! Serena finally has the perfect relationship with her daddy. But will her dream-come-true be Rufus' worst nightmare? Gossip Girl: My oh my, did Dr. van der Woodsen just make a public pass at Rufus' wife? Looks like this doctor without borders needs a few boundaries. Gossip Girl: Listen carefully, S. Holland has a story to tell. Apparently her upstairs neighbor has been coming downstairs. Gossip Girl: They say that family are the people that will always take you in, but if instead they shut the door? Or even worse, let someone else take your place. What do you say, Serena? Who's your daddy? XOXO Gossip Girl EX-HUSBANDS AND WIVES Gossip Girl: New day, new designer. Whether it's love or war you're outfitting for, thank god for friends and fashion. Holland: I don't know what you want me to say. Rufus: Well Serena's under the impression that you know something about something I did. Holland: I shouldn't be here. Rufus: Go on. I have nothing to hide from my family. Please tell them the truth.

Holland: Rufus and I slept together. GG: Talk about love thy neighbor. Rufus: What? Holland: I'm sorry. Next time, Rufus, choose one who knows how to keep a secret. Gossip Girl: You better hope this doctor gets healed before someone else gets hurt. Gossip Girl: Watch out, Lonely Boy. Seems your little sister has her own ideas about your family's planning. Gossip Girl: In this family feud, that's van der Woodsen: 1. Humphrey: 0. Gossip Girl: When the family tree falls, we all need a family friend to lead us out of the woods. Or into them. Gossip Girl: But careful, once darkness descends true natures emerge and everything is fair game. Until morning. XOXO Gossip Girl LAST TANGO, THEN PARIS Gossip Girl: You reap what you sow. What goes around comes around. No matter how far you run, you can never truly escape. Everything catches up to you in the end. And when it does, it usually kicks your ass. Gossip Girl: Spotted: A family reunion only Faulkner would approve of. I used to think that S and Lonely Boy were the most boring couple on the Upper East Side. But what makes them actually great together, is when they're supposed to be with other people. Gossip Girl: Good luck talking your way out of this one, S. Gossip Girl: Spotted atop the Empire. State Building, that is. A boy billionaire, flowers in hand. Oh Chuck, if you could only see to Brooklyn. You might turn that frown upside down. Dorota: My water broke! Then again, maybe you should guard your heart. Dorota's water might not be the only thing breaking tonight. Gossip Girl: And all in an instant, everything changes. We leave the past behind and speed toward the unknown. Our future. We set out for far away places and try to find our self. Or try to lose ourselves. Exploring pleasures closer to home. The problems start when we refuse to let change happen, and cling to old habits. But if we hold on to the past too tight, the future may never come. 'Til death do us part. XOXO Gossip Girl. BELLES DE JOUR Gossip Girl: Nothing beats a summer abroad. But when travelling far from home it's always nice to bring along an old friend from the neighborhood. Cobblestones and Cafe de Flore. Serena's locked down the Left Bank and become a muse to us all. Meanwhile, Blair rules the Right Bank. Storming the shops and consuming the classics. And sampling sugary snacks like a modern Marie Antoinette. But we hear Serena's stories sizzle while Blair's are more fizzle.

So if I were B, I'd watch my back. Gossip Girl: And in all princess tales, an evil queen does appear. But it turns out the Queen's helper is the one B should fear. Gossip Girl: Poor Chuck. When you asked Bart about the fire, no wonder an affair was something he chose not to remember. Gossip Girl: Wonder if Chuck Bass is about to go from down-and-out to down on one knee. Nothing like using a rock to get out of a hard place. Gossip Girl: Spotted: a prince torn between choosing his kingdom or his queen. Princess Sophia: End it. Now.

Happily Never After. They say parting is such sweet sorrow, but wouldn't it be nice if just once it didn't have to be? Three weeks later... Gossip Girl: Transitions in life are usually marked by major events. Birthdays, graduations, weddings. Gossip Girl: But the greater transitions often come out of smaller moments. When we stop and look at where we are. Because each time we see how far we've come, we also see how far we still have to go. Gossip Girl: In order to fully transform, we might need to free ourselves of everything we've been holding on to. To send us on our new path. The right one.

Gossip Girl: Well well well, Upper East Siders, I got my answer after all. And it turns out the only thing expanding at the Waldorf residence is the help. Yet all this talk about expecting has got me thinking about expectations. Gossip Girl: The thing about expectations is most of the time, someone else sets them for you. Yet you feel like they've been there all along. And you can't wait to live up to them. But just because you know what's expected of you doesn't mean you still can't surprise everyone.

Most people find it too hard to face their crimes and find it easier to pretend nothing ever happened. Gossip Girl: The problem with hiding your sins is they always come back.

Whatever I choose to do to win back your trust, one thing is certain. This is not the end between us. Gossip Girl: On the Upper East Side, staying alive isn't as easy as it appears.

Have you been asking yourselves if you're better off now than you were two months ago? Gossip Girl: Trapped under the weight of a false accusation, I've done a lot of thinking about the kind of girl I want to be from now on. I'd like to be the kind that does what she says she's going to do. You know what they say. "Talk is cheap." So if you don't have anything nice to say, maybe you should just shut your mouth.

It seems like today is a big day for everyone. But none so much as me. Gossip Girl: Once upon a time Princess B was a virgin Queen, and her King was named Archibald. Who would have thought that in just five short years she could turn that headband into a tiara for real. I myself have come a long way too. But if you think I have spent all my recent down time reflecting on who I am and what I've done in those same five years, let me assure you, that couldn't be further from the truth. I was just planning my comeback. So if I were you, I'd watch this space. Because the new Gossip Girl is coming. And what will my first post be? All I can is you should probably pray I won't be writing about you. Gossip Girl: If no one else is willing to say it, I guess I have to. The person who should be objecting isn't Chuck Bass, but the bride herself. Don't believe me? Watch this. Told you my first post was worth waiting for. Now what will my next one be?

Serena: You expect us to believe you were just an innocent bystander? Georgina: I never said I was innocent. I just like to watch. And while I love our annual showdowns as much as anybody, if you're looking for someone to blame for what just happened you've got the wrong girl. Serena: Come on, Georgina. Georgina: Sure I made the video Gossip Girl played, but I didn't send it in. I left my camera with Chuck thinking he'd show the Prince and they'd have a duel at dawn for what's left of Blair's virtue. Or maybe some royal fisticuffs. Whatever those are. Gossip Girl: Weddings mark one of the largest transitions you can make in your life. They are a new beginning. The next step in a person's evolution. But evolving is a tricky thing. You can't change without changing the world around you. Gossip Girl: And not everyone might see your transformation the same way you do. But if you can make it through and truly be reborn then maybe so can I. So beginning today the past is just a prologue. It all starts from here.
