1
00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:05,389
Into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.

2
00:00:05,390 --> 00:00:06,989
Blair, don't fall
off the wagon now.

3
00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:07,905
I haven't!

4
00:00:07,906 --> 00:00:10,868
It's just your ordinary,
run-of-the-mill ex sex,

5
00:00:10,869 --> 00:00:12,726
fueled by the most
common of aphrodisiacs....

6
00:00:12,727 --> 00:00:14,262
mutual loathing and disdain.

7
00:00:14,263 --> 00:00:17,164
Relationships with faculty
are strictly forbidden.

8
00:00:17,165 --> 00:00:19,276
When I met you, I was
running away from someone.

9
00:00:19,277 --> 00:00:21,202
I'm sorry that I
ran right into you.

10
00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:22,321
Good luck, Serena.

11
00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:25,944
Hey, Dan, I'll wait outside for you,
for however long it takes...

12
00:00:25,945 --> 00:00:29,030
I really miss you.
Just give me a second chance.

13
00:00:29,031 --> 00:00:30,050
I won't let you down.

14
00:00:30,051 --> 00:00:31,737
You tried to destroy my
friendship with Blair,

15
00:00:31,738 --> 00:00:34,173
my reputation, my academic career.

16
00:00:34,174 --> 00:00:35,839
You failed every time,
and now it's time for you to go.

17
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,356
A friends of ours thinks we
that we share mutual enemies

18
00:00:38,357 --> 00:00:39,860
on the Upper East Side, and, well,

19
00:00:39,861 --> 00:00:42,736
I could really use some help
from the inside right now.

20
00:00:42,737 --> 00:00:44,801
What exactly did you have in mind?

21
00:00:44,802 --> 00:00:46,148
***

22
00:00:46,149 --> 00:00:47,422
***

23
00:00:47,423 --> 00:00:48,652
And who am I?

24
00:00:48,923 --> 00:00:51,572
That's a secret I'll never tell.

25
00:00:52,511 --> 00:00:54,132
You know you love me.

26
00:00:54,133 --> 00:00:57,621
X.O.X.O., Gossip Girl.

27
00:00:59,171 --> 00:01:03,493
On the Upper East Side,
the possibilities are endless.

28
00:01:03,494 --> 00:01:04,723
Dom or Krug,

29
00:01:04,724 --> 00:01:06,341
Winston or Cartier,

30
00:01:06,342 --> 00:01:08,359
Tory or Stella,

31
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,823
eventually, even the
people with everything

32
00:01:10,824 --> 00:01:12,269
have to choose.

33
00:01:13,764 --> 00:01:16,137
* Shot in some sun-drenched piazza *

34
00:01:16,138 --> 00:01:18,984
* Or whatever in Rome *

35
00:01:18,985 --> 00:01:19,869
Hey, why are you guys eating?

36
00:01:19,870 --> 00:01:21,541
I thought we were
going to Sarabeth's.

37
00:01:21,542 --> 00:01:23,184
Uh, we decided we can
spread out better here.

38
00:01:23,185 --> 00:01:24,556
There's more room to work.

39
00:01:24,796 --> 00:01:26,647
On what? Your calculus homework?

40
00:01:26,648 --> 00:01:28,453
Uh, your love life.

41
00:01:29,212 --> 00:01:30,726
It's a little something
called Dan versus Nate.

42
00:01:31,063 --> 00:01:32,279
We're here to help.

43
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,615
And we brought protractors.

44
00:01:34,616 --> 00:01:36,104
A venn diagram?

45
00:01:36,779 --> 00:01:37,299
Really?

46
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:40,596
You... you seriously expect me to
make this monumental decision

47
00:01:40,597 --> 00:01:42,486
with colored pencils
and graph paper?

48
00:01:42,487 --> 00:01:45,822
Don't mock. Elliot got
an 800 on his math S.A.T.

49
00:01:45,823 --> 00:01:49,046
Mm-hmm. Probability, set theory.

50
00:01:49,047 --> 00:01:50,351
It's, uh, basically what they do

51
00:01:50,352 --> 00:01:52,077
when you join an
online dating service.

52
00:01:52,373 --> 00:01:54,129
Okay, e's harmony,
I will submit to your method.

53
00:01:54,213 --> 00:01:56,314
But just so you know,
I did choose.

54
00:01:56,382 --> 00:01:58,917
I called Dan right after
I broke up with Colin.

55
00:01:58,968 --> 00:02:02,637
And Nate showed up and said some
things that I couldn't ignore.

56
00:02:03,181 --> 00:02:04,508
And then?

57
00:02:04,509 --> 00:02:06,940
Well, I... ignored him,

58
00:02:06,941 --> 00:02:09,634
ran up to my room,
and haven't spoken to either since.

59
00:02:09,635 --> 00:02:12,034
That's a familiar
coping mechanism.

60
00:02:12,093 --> 00:02:14,533
Well... let's see how
you cope with this.

61
00:02:17,234 --> 00:02:19,319
"Why did Colin Forrester
leave Columbia students

62
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,908
"eager to learn about the
psychology of business?

63
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:25,659
Answer... his funny business
with Serena Van Der Woodsen."

64
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:27,057
Mom, you have to call them

65
00:02:27,058 --> 00:02:29,279
and make them print a
retraction and an apology.

66
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,585
You know that's not true.

67
00:02:30,735 --> 00:02:33,687
Half of New York saw you
kiss him at the ballet.

68
00:02:34,027 --> 00:02:36,190
Dean Reuther would like
to see us in her office.

69
00:02:36,191 --> 00:02:39,070
Well, looks like our
compatibility worksheet

70
00:02:39,071 --> 00:02:40,181
will have to wait.

71
00:02:40,182 --> 00:02:42,810
* Without you, oh *

72
00:02:42,811 --> 00:02:45,580
* Oh, oh, oh, oh *

73
00:02:45,581 --> 00:02:48,251
Hey, Serena, it's me.
Uh, I saw your thing in the "Post."

74
00:02:48,252 --> 00:02:50,068
Just wanted you to know
Brooklyn is a great place

75
00:02:50,069 --> 00:02:51,580
to avoid nasty looks...

76
00:02:51,581 --> 00:02:54,339
Unless you throw your
recycling in the regular trash

77
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:55,713
or try to open a giant chain store

78
00:02:55,714 --> 00:02:57,105
with questionable labor practices,

79
00:02:57,106 --> 00:02:59,140
but anyway, call me.

80
00:02:59,141 --> 00:03:00,919
I left her the same message,

81
00:03:01,219 --> 00:03:03,801
only without the
lame Brooklyn joke.

82
00:03:03,802 --> 00:03:05,467
But you shouldn't wait
by your phone, man.

83
00:03:05,468 --> 00:03:07,102
Well, last I checked,
the only thing Serena wanted from you

84
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:09,193
was to make some
billionaire jealous.

85
00:03:09,194 --> 00:03:11,235
Oh! You mean the same
thing she wanted from you?

86
00:03:11,236 --> 00:03:13,908
Why are you even here?
I assume you're responsible.

87
00:03:14,642 --> 00:03:16,810
I totally understand if you
guys are still mad at me

88
00:03:16,811 --> 00:03:17,932
for what happened with Serena,

89
00:03:17,933 --> 00:03:19,989
but obviously,
you miss each other.

90
00:03:23,052 --> 00:03:25,203
I'll take that awkward
pause as a "yes."

91
00:03:25,632 --> 00:03:26,028
Don't think this means

92
00:03:26,029 --> 00:03:27,875
that I've been calling out
your name in my sleep.

93
00:03:27,876 --> 00:03:29,625
It's not like I've been writing
"Mrs. Nate Humphrey"

94
00:03:29,626 --> 00:03:30,791
in my notebook.

95
00:03:37,183 --> 00:03:38,983
There's nothing like
a friendly benefit

96
00:03:39,051 --> 00:03:41,986
to start a day of meetings about
getting the empire back on top.

97
00:03:42,054 --> 00:03:44,055
You do thrive in that position.

98
00:03:44,757 --> 00:03:46,658
I'm sure your black and white
ball for the hotel association

99
00:03:46,725 --> 00:03:48,493
will remind everyone of that.

100
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,745
And with your glow,
Anne Archibald will beg you

101
00:03:51,023 --> 00:03:53,231
to be the face of
her new foundation.

102
00:03:53,652 --> 00:03:56,515
It's a hormonal response to orgasm,
nothing more.

103
00:03:56,516 --> 00:03:57,943
What else could it be?

104
00:03:59,846 --> 00:04:00,966
What indeed.

105
00:04:01,842 --> 00:04:04,589
Too bad it couldn't get me an
8:00 reservation at the lion.

106
00:04:05,010 --> 00:04:08,358
While I love to delay
your gratification,

107
00:04:08,359 --> 00:04:10,257
I can curb your cravings

108
00:04:10,258 --> 00:04:12,851
if you'd care to join me there
tonight before my party.

109
00:04:13,339 --> 00:04:15,119
You have a reservation? Tonight?

110
00:04:15,187 --> 00:04:17,775
I can tell my business
associates something came up.

111
00:04:17,776 --> 00:04:19,014
Unless you object.

112
00:04:20,403 --> 00:04:21,041
Nothing wrong

113
00:04:21,042 --> 00:04:23,122
with a lobster potpie
between friends.

114
00:04:24,512 --> 00:04:25,659
I'll see you at 8:00.

115
00:04:32,204 --> 00:04:35,090
Dorota! I need Sam Brocato

116
00:04:35,141 --> 00:04:37,668
and an assortment of Chlo?
That's subtle but sexy.

117
00:04:37,850 --> 00:04:39,932
For your meeting with Mrs.
Archibald?

118
00:04:39,933 --> 00:04:42,130
No, for my dinner with Chuck.

119
00:04:42,131 --> 00:04:44,386
And I see your brain trying to

120
00:04:44,387 --> 00:04:47,401
translate the implications from Polish,
but there are none.

121
00:04:47,402 --> 00:04:48,941
So stop thinking and do.

122
00:04:53,758 --> 00:04:55,976
Delucie, it's Chuck Bass.
I need a favor.

123
00:04:55,977 --> 00:04:56,754
2 for dinner at 8:00.

124
00:04:56,755 --> 00:04:58,305
I wouldn't ask,
but it's important.

125
00:04:59,421 --> 00:05:00,306
Great.

126
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:06,047
You can at least try to
hide your disappointment.

127
00:05:06,048 --> 00:05:07,254
Well, I have nothing to hide.

128
00:05:07,255 --> 00:05:09,426
I simply want to
put this behind us.

129
00:05:09,427 --> 00:05:10,766
Even if I have to
wear a Scarlet letter

130
00:05:10,767 --> 00:05:12,310
for something I didn't do?

131
00:05:16,517 --> 00:05:18,947
Dean Reuther, I'm sorry you
have to disrupt your day

132
00:05:18,948 --> 00:05:20,606
with such trivial matters.

133
00:05:20,607 --> 00:05:23,443
It's hardly trivial, Mrs. Humphrey.

134
00:05:23,444 --> 00:05:26,952
I'm sure you saw the wall of
paparazzi at the campus gates.

135
00:05:26,953 --> 00:05:28,850
Well, I assure you,
none of us is interested

136
00:05:28,851 --> 00:05:30,318
in this kind of media attention.

137
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,263
I hope you'll let our
family make it up to you

138
00:05:32,264 --> 00:05:33,593
with an endowment.

139
00:05:33,795 --> 00:05:35,759
Maybe you could use it to build
a moat around the school,

140
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,228
keep out the press.

141
00:05:37,229 --> 00:05:39,049
The only thing I'd
like from your family

142
00:05:39,050 --> 00:05:42,103
is to withdraw your daughter
from our university.

143
00:05:42,104 --> 00:05:43,789
What? Over a gossip column?

144
00:05:43,790 --> 00:05:46,689
Hundreds of parents have called,
concerned about teachers.

145
00:05:46,690 --> 00:05:48,830
I'm sorry, Serena.

146
00:05:48,831 --> 00:05:50,705
I have to look at
the bigger picture.

147
00:05:50,706 --> 00:05:52,878
It's no longer just your education

148
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:54,255
that's being disrupted.

149
00:05:54,256 --> 00:05:56,649
Well, I'm sure you've realized
that Serena was accepted

150
00:05:56,650 --> 00:05:58,315
at other Ivy League institutions.

151
00:05:58,316 --> 00:05:59,452
Mom, please.

152
00:05:59,453 --> 00:06:00,675
Well, getting out of the city

153
00:06:00,676 --> 00:06:02,874
is probably your best
course of action.

154
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:04,665
We can refund her tuition,

155
00:06:04,666 --> 00:06:08,571
and I am happy to
facilitate a transfer.

156
00:06:08,572 --> 00:06:10,459
I think you misunderstood me.

157
00:06:11,729 --> 00:06:13,771
Serena chose Columbia.

158
00:06:13,772 --> 00:06:17,659
And despite your judgment,
she is the victim here.

159
00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:19,708
And I'm sure "The Times"
would love to do an article

160
00:06:19,709 --> 00:06:23,230
about a dean who tolerates
professors in power positions

161
00:06:23,231 --> 00:06:26,007
exploiting female students.

162
00:06:32,734 --> 00:06:35,420
Well, I hope you'll
consider my offer.

163
00:06:39,371 --> 00:06:41,117
I swear, I thought
I was over Serena

164
00:06:41,118 --> 00:06:43,960
until I realized how much
Juliet had come between us.

165
00:06:44,512 --> 00:06:46,198
I just felt like we
had to try again.

166
00:06:46,354 --> 00:06:48,310
Is that what you were telling
her after the ballet?

167
00:06:49,028 --> 00:06:52,404
Yeah, until you showed up.
I haven't heard from her since.

168
00:06:52,405 --> 00:06:55,650
Nah, me neither.
So, look, you and I are friends,

169
00:06:55,651 --> 00:06:56,560
and we both like the same girl.

170
00:06:56,561 --> 00:06:58,032
We tried pretending
that we didn't.

171
00:06:58,033 --> 00:06:59,169
But we do.

172
00:07:00,122 --> 00:07:01,921
And we tried to act like we
don't care that we're friends...

173
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:04,571
But we do. Ohh.

174
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:06,323
That was good. That was good.

175
00:07:06,408 --> 00:07:08,305
So... so what if we both
take our best shot,

176
00:07:08,306 --> 00:07:09,609
and like the gentlemen we are,

177
00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:12,318
agree to be okay with
whoever she picks?

178
00:07:13,903 --> 00:07:16,075
What are you trying to say?
Let the best man win?

179
00:07:16,928 --> 00:07:18,329
'Cause I just did.

180
00:07:20,601 --> 00:07:22,295
I think dean Reuther
was actually trembling.

181
00:07:22,296 --> 00:07:23,541
You were very impressive.

182
00:07:23,542 --> 00:07:24,868
I was, wasn't I?

183
00:07:25,257 --> 00:07:27,215
Thank you for believing me.
It means a lot.

184
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,676
Well, promise me
no more surprises.

185
00:07:30,677 --> 00:07:32,535
You know everything, I swear.

186
00:07:33,507 --> 00:07:36,932
Jenny. Oh! That's the
kind of surprise I like.

187
00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:38,042
I wish I could say the same.

188
00:07:38,043 --> 00:07:40,009
I'm gonna say hi
to Eric and Elliot.

189
00:07:40,092 --> 00:07:41,679
Well, nice to see you,
too, Serena.

190
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,065
Oh, she's had a rough day.

191
00:07:43,066 --> 00:07:45,891
I thought you weren't coming
in until the holidays? Oh!

192
00:07:46,995 --> 00:07:49,842
Mm. Jenny has something
she needs to tell you.

193
00:07:49,843 --> 00:07:51,040
Uh... yeah.

194
00:07:51,041 --> 00:07:53,808
This girl, Juliet sharp,
called me in Hudson

195
00:07:53,809 --> 00:07:55,969
and asked for my help
to take Serena down.

196
00:07:55,970 --> 00:07:58,475
Now I know Serena still hates me,

197
00:07:58,476 --> 00:08:00,934
so I might have done something
like this last year,

198
00:08:00,935 --> 00:08:02,229
but not now.

199
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:04,695
Well, Serena has filled me in,
and luckily,

200
00:08:04,696 --> 00:08:06,474
Juliet's reign is over
now that she's failed

201
00:08:06,475 --> 00:08:08,595
to get Serena kicked
out of Columbia.

202
00:08:08,928 --> 00:08:09,808
Well, I don't know.

203
00:08:10,241 --> 00:08:12,738
Um, she said she was gonna
leak a story to page six.

204
00:08:13,355 --> 00:08:14,678
Yeah, I-I'm sorry.

205
00:08:14,679 --> 00:08:17,153
If I thought she was serious,
I would've come to you sooner.

206
00:08:17,154 --> 00:08:20,063
Um, she also said
that she knew more

207
00:08:20,064 --> 00:08:21,910
and she wasn't afraid to use it.

208
00:08:21,911 --> 00:08:24,090
Thank you, Jenny.
You did the right thing.

209
00:08:24,091 --> 00:08:26,021
And I will take it from here.

210
00:08:26,605 --> 00:08:27,333
Okay.

211
00:08:27,739 --> 00:08:29,938
Well I know you have
to get back to M.O.M.A.

212
00:08:30,274 --> 00:08:32,274
and your abstract
expressionism day with mom,

213
00:08:32,275 --> 00:08:33,838
but it's been nice having you,
even for a minute.

214
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:34,577
Thanks, dad. Mm.

215
00:08:34,578 --> 00:08:35,373
Mm.

216
00:08:35,869 --> 00:08:37,840
Mmm. Bye.

217
00:08:47,286 --> 00:08:49,101
Yeah, everything's
in place on my end.

218
00:08:49,102 --> 00:08:50,514
Vanessa has the boys set, too.

219
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,695
Looks like Serena will finally
get what she deserves.

220
00:08:53,817 --> 00:08:56,170
Well, maybe I miss the
Upper East Side after all.

221
00:08:56,171 --> 00:08:57,512
Watch out, S.

222
00:08:57,513 --> 00:09:00,929
Looks like Brooklyn
finally has a team again.

223
00:09:03,906 --> 00:09:07,230
And this time,
they brought in a ringer.

224
00:09:12,277 --> 00:09:14,314
It is so nice to see
you again, Anne.

225
00:09:14,315 --> 00:09:16,632
You, too, Blair.
You know, even though

226
00:09:16,633 --> 00:09:18,543
things didn't work out
with you and Nathaniel,

227
00:09:18,544 --> 00:09:20,058
I've remained impressed with you,

228
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:22,069
which is why you were the
first person I thought of

229
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:25,507
to replace me as the face of
the girls inc. Foundation.

230
00:09:25,508 --> 00:09:28,736
I'd be honored to carry on
your philanthropic tradition.

231
00:09:28,967 --> 00:09:31,943
But I feel I need to tell you
the board is very focused

232
00:09:31,944 --> 00:09:32,966
on the fact that

233
00:09:32,967 --> 00:09:35,558
the head of a female
empowerment organization

234
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,976
needs to be someone
who's empowered herself.

235
00:09:37,977 --> 00:09:40,449
Well, they're in luck,
because power isn't just my mission,

236
00:09:40,450 --> 00:09:41,752
it's my mantra.

237
00:09:42,974 --> 00:09:44,171
It's more...

238
00:09:44,172 --> 00:09:47,302
Your personal relationships
that are in question.

239
00:09:48,524 --> 00:09:50,156
I assume you don't mean Nate.

240
00:09:52,036 --> 00:09:54,031
So I took your advice
about the relaunch.

241
00:09:54,032 --> 00:09:56,331
After tonight, it will be
clear I'm back in the game

242
00:09:56,332 --> 00:09:59,640
with Victrola, gimlet,
and the empire as my flagship.

243
00:09:59,641 --> 00:10:01,493
Yeah, but a black and white ball?

244
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,518
It's so Hilton... Conrad,
not Paris.

245
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:05,934
I take your insult as flattering.

246
00:10:05,935 --> 00:10:07,099
Well, don't.

247
00:10:07,287 --> 00:10:09,409
People aren't checking
into the empire

248
00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:11,353
for a black-tie experience.

249
00:10:11,354 --> 00:10:13,435
They come to live
like Chuck Bass...

250
00:10:13,436 --> 00:10:15,232
No rules, no repercussions.

251
00:10:15,233 --> 00:10:17,659
They still can.
The hotel is the same as ever.

252
00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:18,950
But you aren't.

253
00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:21,892
When you disappeared,
you seriously damaged your brand,

254
00:10:21,893 --> 00:10:23,814
and the hotel has paid the price.

255
00:10:24,856 --> 00:10:26,255
People do change.

256
00:10:26,745 --> 00:10:28,481
Not that I know if Chuck has,

257
00:10:28,482 --> 00:10:30,989
since I rarely associate
with him anymore.

258
00:10:30,990 --> 00:10:32,378
So what do you suggest?

259
00:10:32,379 --> 00:10:34,246
If you want to rebuild,
you need to commit to being

260
00:10:34,247 --> 00:10:36,660
the hedonist everyone
loves to hate.

261
00:10:36,661 --> 00:10:38,913
No one wants a
soft-hearted has-been

262
00:10:38,914 --> 00:10:41,382
who's worried about
dating Blair Waldorf.

263
00:10:42,249 --> 00:10:44,055
Trust me, a
relationship with Blair

264
00:10:44,056 --> 00:10:45,730
is the furthest
thing from my mind.

265
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:51,513
People may forgive the choices
you've made in your past.

266
00:10:51,514 --> 00:10:54,579
But if you want this
foundation in your future,

267
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:57,761
I'll need some assurance that
Charles won't be a part of it.

268
00:10:58,439 --> 00:11:00,117
He's not even part of my present.

269
00:11:05,106 --> 00:11:06,290
You were right.

270
00:11:06,871 --> 00:11:09,620
Lily has requested a meeting.

271
00:11:09,779 --> 00:11:12,790
Trust me, nothing drives a wedge
between mother and daughter

272
00:11:12,791 --> 00:11:15,222
more than Lily trying
to cover up for Serena.

273
00:11:15,223 --> 00:11:16,684
Why hide your talents in Hudson?

274
00:11:16,685 --> 00:11:18,170
I didn't wanna cross
any more lines

275
00:11:18,171 --> 00:11:21,372
trying to defend myself
against Blair. But...

276
00:11:21,373 --> 00:11:23,656
When you told me they went
after Vanessa at the ballet,

277
00:11:23,657 --> 00:11:24,370
I had to help.

278
00:11:24,371 --> 00:11:25,746
Blair's pathological for sure,

279
00:11:25,747 --> 00:11:28,004
but half of what she does
is to protect Serena.

280
00:11:28,005 --> 00:11:30,920
And she never pays consequences
or takes responsibility.

281
00:11:30,921 --> 00:11:35,112
Which is exactly why we need to
turn everyone against Serena,

282
00:11:35,393 --> 00:11:38,401
so she finally knows what it
feels like to be an outsider.

283
00:11:39,604 --> 00:11:42,898
Well, I'd say you're pretty
expert at this yourself.

284
00:11:43,615 --> 00:11:45,425
I just like visual aides.

285
00:11:46,042 --> 00:11:48,048
Uh, Nate and Dan
are friends again?

286
00:11:48,049 --> 00:11:48,941
Mm-hmm.

287
00:11:49,156 --> 00:11:51,195
Great, so we just need
to get Serena's phone.

288
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:53,186
I already did one better.

289
00:11:53,363 --> 00:11:55,151
I replaced her SIM
card with a new one,

290
00:11:55,152 --> 00:11:58,325
and I put all her contacts
in so she can call out,

291
00:11:58,326 --> 00:12:01,025
but this phone has
her actual SIM

292
00:12:01,026 --> 00:12:03,199
so we get all her
incoming calls and texts.

293
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,451
And we can send whatever
responses we want,

294
00:12:05,452 --> 00:12:07,567
and she'll never know because
her phone's not even missing.

295
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,449
You know, if you
stuck around here,

296
00:12:09,450 --> 00:12:11,490
we would all be working
for you in a week.

297
00:12:12,334 --> 00:12:15,275
Okay, so you guys wait
for incoming calls,

298
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:17,895
and I... am gonna go meet Lily.

299
00:12:23,830 --> 00:12:25,129
I've been rethinking dinner.

300
00:12:25,130 --> 00:12:26,675
I read a few more reviews,

301
00:12:26,676 --> 00:12:28,832
and the crowds are big,
and the portions are small.

302
00:12:28,833 --> 00:12:29,908
I read the same thing.

303
00:12:29,909 --> 00:12:32,036
Why waste our time on mediocrity?

304
00:12:33,448 --> 00:12:35,304
Where exactly did you read that?

305
00:12:35,305 --> 00:12:37,408
I assume the same place you did.

306
00:12:38,122 --> 00:12:39,098
I didn't!

307
00:12:39,099 --> 00:12:40,967
I lied because Anne
Archibald doesn't want

308
00:12:40,968 --> 00:12:44,104
the face of her foundation to
be associated with Chuck Bass.

309
00:12:44,784 --> 00:12:46,088
What's your excuse?

310
00:12:46,089 --> 00:12:48,700
K.C. thinks you're too
good for my bad reputation,

311
00:12:48,701 --> 00:12:50,290
and it's hurting business.

312
00:12:50,291 --> 00:12:51,991
Well, we can't very
well risk our futures

313
00:12:51,992 --> 00:12:53,767
for some meaningless dinner.

314
00:12:53,768 --> 00:12:56,331
Even if it would be wrong to
assume we're anything more

315
00:12:56,332 --> 00:13:00,277
than old acquaintances
sharing a side of spinach.

316
00:13:00,278 --> 00:13:01,921
Why take the risk?

317
00:13:03,667 --> 00:13:06,393
I'll see you at your place.
Is now too soon?

318
00:13:07,210 --> 00:13:08,594
Don't look at me like that.

319
00:13:08,595 --> 00:13:10,449
You're the one who's black
and white and read all over.

320
00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:13,301
How do you think that happened?
A secret relationship.

321
00:13:13,302 --> 00:13:15,805
But Chuck and I are
not in a relationship.

322
00:13:15,806 --> 00:13:18,608
What are you, a foot fetishist?
They're done.

323
00:13:21,726 --> 00:13:23,481
B., come on.

324
00:13:23,482 --> 00:13:25,069
You and Chuck have
way too much history

325
00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:26,410
to interact in a casual way.

326
00:13:26,411 --> 00:13:28,164
I just don't want
to see you get hurt

327
00:13:28,165 --> 00:13:29,515
or lose this
opportunity with Anne.

328
00:13:29,516 --> 00:13:32,141
I won't, as long as I
keep my heart locked away

329
00:13:32,142 --> 00:13:34,267
and our interactions
off the street.

330
00:13:34,562 --> 00:13:35,863
As for your devoted suitors,

331
00:13:35,864 --> 00:13:37,795
have you finally decided
on whom to crush?

332
00:13:37,796 --> 00:13:39,568
No, and I have feelings for both,

333
00:13:39,569 --> 00:13:40,912
and I don't want to hurt either.

334
00:13:41,324 --> 00:13:43,848
I have a whole new
appreciation for "Big Love."

335
00:13:43,849 --> 00:13:45,418
Well, even in Utah,

336
00:13:45,419 --> 00:13:47,198
only the men get to have
more than one spouse,

337
00:13:47,199 --> 00:13:51,020
which, I've come to realize,
is extremely sexist.

338
00:13:51,021 --> 00:13:53,249
You should add it to
the Girls Inc. agenda.

339
00:13:53,452 --> 00:13:55,202
But seriously, B.,
what am I supposed to do?

340
00:13:55,203 --> 00:13:56,511
And please don't say make a list,

341
00:13:56,512 --> 00:13:58,757
because Eric and Elliot
already tried that.

342
00:13:58,758 --> 00:14:00,057
Lists are for kids.

343
00:14:00,058 --> 00:14:03,164
Dilemmas like these require
a meditative state.

344
00:14:03,165 --> 00:14:05,387
I find mine by watching
Dorota feed the ducks.

345
00:14:05,388 --> 00:14:07,405
You can borrow her as long
as she's back by dinner.

346
00:14:07,577 --> 00:14:09,522
Thank you, but ducks and
Dorota couldn't compare

347
00:14:09,523 --> 00:14:10,920
to the zen of shopping.

348
00:14:10,921 --> 00:14:13,790
So go forth to Madison and
seek out the perfect dress,

349
00:14:13,791 --> 00:14:15,716
and then follow your
heart to the perfect guy.

350
00:14:15,890 --> 00:14:18,960
Okay, sensei. I actually
have to get something

351
00:14:18,961 --> 00:14:20,379
for the black and
white ball tonight,

352
00:14:20,380 --> 00:14:21,208
so I have nothing to lose.

353
00:14:21,209 --> 00:14:23,485
But remember, when it
comes to Chuck, you do.

354
00:14:28,309 --> 00:14:30,658
All right, so it's decided.

355
00:14:30,735 --> 00:14:32,803
We'll each invite her
on a best date ever,

356
00:14:33,077 --> 00:14:34,424
something that's
true to who we are,

357
00:14:34,425 --> 00:14:36,218
shows her why we're the right guy.

358
00:14:36,397 --> 00:14:38,458
Oh, so you're gonna take to her
to one of those weird movies

359
00:14:38,459 --> 00:14:40,176
that doesn't make sense even
when you read the subtitles?

360
00:14:40,177 --> 00:14:41,931
No, I'm gonna take
her to Frankie's 457.

361
00:14:41,932 --> 00:14:43,793
She'll feel like she
discovered something new,

362
00:14:43,794 --> 00:14:46,516
a place where no one cares if
she's Serena Van Der Woodsen.

363
00:14:46,517 --> 00:14:48,235
Aw, dude.

364
00:14:48,236 --> 00:14:49,225
I won already.

365
00:14:49,676 --> 00:14:51,861
Why, 'cause you're gonna go make
her watch you play lacrosse?

366
00:14:52,073 --> 00:14:53,268
She loves lacrosse,

367
00:14:53,326 --> 00:14:56,141
especially when it's
followed by dinner at per se,

368
00:14:56,142 --> 00:14:57,381
and everyone we grew up
with was talking about

369
00:14:57,382 --> 00:14:58,673
how perfect we are together.

370
00:14:58,674 --> 00:15:00,147
All right, you're on,

371
00:15:00,427 --> 00:15:01,421
for tonight, before Chuck's party.

372
00:15:01,422 --> 00:15:02,197
Done.

373
00:15:02,553 --> 00:15:06,885
And whoever she says "yes"
to is the guy she wants,

374
00:15:07,091 --> 00:15:10,542
never, never to be
discussed or debated again.

375
00:15:10,808 --> 00:15:11,630
Okay.

376
00:15:11,769 --> 00:15:13,741
Hey, don't worry.
I'm not one of those winners

377
00:15:13,742 --> 00:15:15,655
who rubs it in the
loser's face, okay?

378
00:15:16,029 --> 00:15:16,799
Okay?

379
00:15:19,087 --> 00:15:20,999
Seriously, how many times
can Blair text that

380
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,684
she knows she's being paranoid
but she just wants to make sure

381
00:15:23,685 --> 00:15:26,589
that Serena isn't going after
Anne Archibald's foundation?

382
00:15:26,590 --> 00:15:28,032
Well, we should write
back and thank her

383
00:15:28,033 --> 00:15:30,193
for giving us exactly the
information we needed.

384
00:15:32,786 --> 00:15:34,187
Oh, this is perfect.

385
00:15:34,314 --> 00:15:36,391
Dan and Nate both
invited her out tonight.

386
00:15:36,594 --> 00:15:38,778
And Serena's gonna
reject both of them,

387
00:15:38,956 --> 00:15:40,427
but only after she
toys with them enough

388
00:15:40,428 --> 00:15:43,017
to make them hate her,
at least for tonight.

389
00:16:07,997 --> 00:16:11,043
As much as I find K.C.
personally abhorrent,

390
00:16:11,044 --> 00:16:13,015
she's right about black and white.

391
00:16:13,016 --> 00:16:14,961
It's decent rather than decadent.

392
00:16:14,962 --> 00:16:16,985
Did you have something
more devious in mind?

393
00:16:17,709 --> 00:16:20,118
Saints and sinners
has a nice feel.

394
00:16:20,119 --> 00:16:21,001
There is something alluring

395
00:16:21,002 --> 00:16:23,238
about an angel drawn
to the dark side.

396
00:16:23,239 --> 00:16:24,774
Or a devil redeemed.

397
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:32,778
? 443 00:19:
00:19:28,883 a masquerade.

398
00:16:32,779 --> 00:16:33,558
Mmm.

399
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:36,870
Mmm, where inhibitions
can't help but break free.

400
00:16:36,938 --> 00:16:39,322
I'll let K.C.
and Gossip Girl know.

401
00:16:47,648 --> 00:16:48,949
Now...

402
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,319
How to impress Anne
with your virtue?

403
00:16:53,051 --> 00:16:55,589
I could denounce
your unseemly party.

404
00:16:55,656 --> 00:16:58,992
At a tasteful dinner,
in front of the whole board.

405
00:17:25,425 --> 00:17:27,401
Of course,
no one does black like Dior.

406
00:17:34,016 --> 00:17:35,403
I appreciate the tea,
Mrs. Humphrey,

407
00:17:35,404 --> 00:17:37,692
but I'm not really
sure why I'm here.

408
00:17:37,902 --> 00:17:40,037
Well, I knew you had
a problem with Serena

409
00:17:40,038 --> 00:17:41,888
when you tried to keep her
out of Hamilton house,

410
00:17:41,889 --> 00:17:43,174
but it's come to my attention

411
00:17:43,175 --> 00:17:45,966
that you are also
responsible for page six.

412
00:17:46,167 --> 00:17:47,824
Yes, well,
I guess that's the thing

413
00:17:47,825 --> 00:17:50,473
when you're not born with a
silver spoon in your mouth.

414
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:52,578
You wanna eat, you have to work.

415
00:17:52,579 --> 00:17:53,282
Yes, and it seems

416
00:17:53,283 --> 00:17:56,439
that you've made a career out
of harassing my daughter.

417
00:17:57,081 --> 00:17:58,904
Serena and Colin are over.

418
00:17:59,465 --> 00:18:02,250
Do not continue to
jeopardize her future.

419
00:18:02,741 --> 00:18:06,002
I won't mention Colin's
name again, I swear...

420
00:18:06,615 --> 00:18:08,483
If only he were the only teacher

421
00:18:08,550 --> 00:18:10,585
Serena had an inappropriate
relationship with.

422
00:18:15,762 --> 00:18:17,775
I'm not sure what
you're referring to.

423
00:18:17,843 --> 00:18:19,627
Oh, I'm pretty sure that you are.

424
00:18:20,416 --> 00:18:22,563
Something like that does not go
down without a parent knowing.

425
00:18:22,631 --> 00:18:25,383
I mean, boarding school?

426
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:27,168
Serena was a minor.

427
00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:30,921
Anyway, knowing that
it's a pattern...

428
00:18:31,949 --> 00:18:34,739
Might help dean Reuther find
her grounds for expulsion.

429
00:18:36,997 --> 00:18:39,924
So how much will it take for
you to leave my daughter alone?

430
00:18:43,041 --> 00:18:44,596
Oh, I don't know.

431
00:18:44,597 --> 00:18:47,466
This design is brilliant,
and I have nothing like it.

432
00:18:47,467 --> 00:18:49,092
But that one I could
wear everywhere.

433
00:18:50,053 --> 00:18:52,152
How is this better
than venn diagrams?

434
00:18:52,283 --> 00:18:53,819
Maybe I should get both.

435
00:18:53,820 --> 00:18:55,598
I-I thought the
point was to choose.

436
00:18:56,410 --> 00:18:58,346
Attention, party people...

437
00:18:58,347 --> 00:19:02,686
Bass' black and white has
added some fire and ice.

438
00:19:02,687 --> 00:19:04,684
Whether you're a
saint or a sinner,

439
00:19:04,685 --> 00:19:06,958
the afterlife never
looked so good.

440
00:19:07,025 --> 00:19:09,043
Great. Now neither
of these will work.

441
00:19:09,127 --> 00:19:10,845
Should I be a saint or a sinner?

442
00:19:10,929 --> 00:19:13,514
No. Dan vs. Nate was hard enough.

443
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:14,999
I am not touching good vs. bad,
Serena. We'll see you later.

444
00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:17,164
We should go as
Bacchus and Sergius.

445
00:19:17,554 --> 00:19:18,543
Yes, we should.

446
00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:19,734
Thanks, guys.

447
00:19:23,225 --> 00:19:24,347
Thank you.

448
00:19:28,164 --> 00:19:30,142
I'm not so sure
white's your color.

449
00:19:31,017 --> 00:19:32,173
What are you doing here?

450
00:19:32,415 --> 00:19:34,628
I assume you mean,
how can a poor girl like me

451
00:19:34,629 --> 00:19:36,390
afford anything in
a place like this?

452
00:19:36,391 --> 00:19:38,960
You only have yourself to blame
for Colin cutting you off.

453
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,731
Luckily, I have a new benefactor.

454
00:19:41,732 --> 00:19:43,568
I think you know her. Lily...

455
00:19:44,569 --> 00:19:47,396
Van Der Woodsen? Bass? Humphrey?
What is her last name?

456
00:19:47,397 --> 00:19:49,633
Oh, you know what?
I can just look at the check.

457
00:19:49,634 --> 00:19:51,164
My mom already called the "Post."

458
00:19:51,165 --> 00:19:52,991
Page six is printing a retraction.

459
00:19:52,992 --> 00:19:54,441
Why would she give you anything?

460
00:19:54,442 --> 00:19:55,068
I guess she didn't want

461
00:19:55,069 --> 00:19:57,239
the whole world to
know you other secret.

462
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,503
What a shame for
everyone to find out

463
00:19:59,504 --> 00:20:02,451
what an embarrassment it is
to have you as a daughter.

464
00:20:03,141 --> 00:20:03,880
Hmm.

465
00:20:09,260 --> 00:20:10,914
Hey, uh, you don't
happen to be at the loft

466
00:20:10,915 --> 00:20:12,669
with a blonde we don't talk about.

467
00:20:12,670 --> 00:20:14,406
I'm here. Serena's not.

468
00:20:14,407 --> 00:20:16,387
Did you need me to leave
before she gets here?

469
00:20:16,452 --> 00:20:18,710
No, no, no. I was expecting
her here at the park anyway.

470
00:20:18,711 --> 00:20:20,420
I just... I thought maybe my loft

471
00:20:20,421 --> 00:20:22,536
was the only place
she knew in Brooklyn.

472
00:20:22,537 --> 00:20:23,519
Thanks anyway.

473
00:20:33,904 --> 00:20:35,274
*

474
00:20:37,688 --> 00:20:39,294
Serena's not there
waiting for me, is she?

475
00:20:39,295 --> 00:20:41,202
Why would she be?
I thought you scared her off

476
00:20:41,203 --> 00:20:42,822
with your heartfelt declarations.

477
00:20:42,823 --> 00:20:44,553
No, she was supposed to
meet me at the Frick.

478
00:20:45,380 --> 00:20:46,175
I don't know what happened.

479
00:20:46,176 --> 00:20:47,621
We must've had some
miscommunication.

480
00:20:47,622 --> 00:20:50,140
They do seem to be
your area of expertise.

481
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:53,523
In fact, you've
probably said your share

482
00:20:53,524 --> 00:20:55,827
of inappropriate things
during intercourse.

483
00:20:55,828 --> 00:20:58,438
So what'd you do? Did you call
a girl by another girl's name?

484
00:20:58,510 --> 00:20:59,851
Talk a little too dirty?

485
00:20:59,852 --> 00:21:01,778
It's not funny. I may have uttered

486
00:21:01,779 --> 00:21:03,729
those three little words
that change everything.

487
00:21:03,730 --> 00:21:05,613
But she probably
didn't even hear me.

488
00:21:05,749 --> 00:21:07,331
Scientifically speaking,

489
00:21:07,332 --> 00:21:09,768
intense pleasure does
dull the other senses.

490
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,056
Relax, man.

491
00:21:11,057 --> 00:21:13,446
Girls know that when a
guy says that during sex,

492
00:21:13,447 --> 00:21:14,970
it doesn't mean "I love you."

493
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:16,974
It means, "I love
having sex with you."

494
00:21:17,233 --> 00:21:18,268
Of course.

495
00:21:18,269 --> 00:21:19,271
Thanks.

496
00:21:22,493 --> 00:21:24,324
For Mrs. Archibald and the ladies,

497
00:21:24,325 --> 00:21:27,195
I ordered Petrossian caviar
and blini for appetizer.

498
00:21:27,196 --> 00:21:30,420
Why would you do that?
You know Mr. Chuck loves caviar.

499
00:21:30,421 --> 00:21:32,906
But... but you love, too.
E-everyone loves...

500
00:21:32,907 --> 00:21:34,822
Okay, fine, Dorota.

501
00:21:34,823 --> 00:21:37,605
Since you badgered it out of me,
yes, it's true.

502
00:21:37,606 --> 00:21:40,326
Chuck said he loved me while
in a compromising position.

503
00:21:40,459 --> 00:21:41,312
He did?

504
00:21:41,313 --> 00:21:42,291
He did.

505
00:21:42,292 --> 00:21:44,227
Oh, this is just like in book

506
00:21:44,499 --> 00:21:49,200
when time traveler comes to
declare love for lost princess.

507
00:21:49,879 --> 00:21:52,447
Yes, but unlike your dirty,
long-haired Lothario,

508
00:21:52,448 --> 00:21:53,857
Chuck probably didn't mean it.

509
00:21:53,858 --> 00:21:56,087
He simply blurted it out
in the height of passion.

510
00:21:56,088 --> 00:21:58,758
But Mr. Chuck does not
seem like blurter.

511
00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:01,266
Well, he's obviously become one,
and I... did the polite thing

512
00:22:01,267 --> 00:22:02,888
and acted like I didn't hear.

513
00:22:02,889 --> 00:22:05,187
You didn't say "I love you" back?

514
00:22:05,403 --> 00:22:07,800
And be a weak, sniveling,
"stand by your man"

515
00:22:07,801 --> 00:22:10,609
who never runs a foundation
or anything else? No!

516
00:22:10,660 --> 00:22:12,463
I am an empowered woman,
and I won't let

517
00:22:12,464 --> 00:22:14,674
three words that were probably
meaningless change that.

518
00:22:14,675 --> 00:22:17,178
This is obviously distracting
you from your work.

519
00:22:22,834 --> 00:22:24,446
Did you pay Juliet off?

520
00:22:24,447 --> 00:22:26,388
Uh, Bruce, let me call you back.

521
00:22:27,286 --> 00:22:28,775
If you mean, did I ask Juliet

522
00:22:28,776 --> 00:22:32,506
to stop leaking information to page six?
The answer is yes.

523
00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:34,989
You never believed that I didn't
sleep with Colin, did you?

524
00:22:34,990 --> 00:22:36,185
You just said that to the dean

525
00:22:36,186 --> 00:22:37,482
so that I could stay at Columbia.

526
00:22:37,483 --> 00:22:39,274
I wanted you to be
able to move forward

527
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,877
and focus on your future.

528
00:22:40,878 --> 00:22:42,371
What did she even say she has?

529
00:22:42,372 --> 00:22:44,982
What's important is
that it's taken care of.

530
00:22:45,082 --> 00:22:47,856
She has nothing
because I did nothing.

531
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:52,139
So you believe her over me?

532
00:22:52,755 --> 00:22:55,541
You know, you just let yourself
get blackmailed for no reason.

533
00:22:55,964 --> 00:22:57,259
Can you blame me?

534
00:22:57,751 --> 00:23:00,509
It's not like you have a history
of great decision making.

535
00:23:00,510 --> 00:23:03,502
How can I when you disapprove
of every choice I've ever made?

536
00:23:03,995 --> 00:23:05,910
No matter how hard I try
to do the right thing,

537
00:23:05,911 --> 00:23:07,813
you always just assume the worst.

538
00:23:17,692 --> 00:23:19,086
Lobster potpie,

539
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:22,508
cheesecake in a jar, and...

540
00:23:22,649 --> 00:23:23,997
John Delucie!

541
00:23:23,998 --> 00:23:26,767
Chuck asked me to make sure
everything was perfect.

542
00:23:26,768 --> 00:23:27,952
Chuck did this?

543
00:23:27,953 --> 00:23:29,980
So romantic, like in book

544
00:23:29,981 --> 00:23:33,002
when time traveler sends sign
of true love from future,

545
00:23:33,003 --> 00:23:35,569
and princess needs to get to
grand ball where he is waiting.

546
00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:38,213
And if she too late,
the rift in the time-space continuum

547
00:23:38,214 --> 00:23:39,620
close up forever.

548
00:23:45,855 --> 00:23:46,984
Miss Blair?

549
00:23:47,058 --> 00:23:48,389
Uh, we have mixed company.

550
00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:50,256
Tell Anne and the board
that I've been delayed.

551
00:23:50,257 --> 00:23:52,427
And unless you want to
raise Ana in Poland,

552
00:23:52,428 --> 00:23:54,911
don't let them leave
before I get back.

553
00:23:55,051 --> 00:23:56,209
Where you going?

554
00:23:56,437 --> 00:23:58,637
Mm. Straight to hell with
all the other sinners.

555
00:24:11,588 --> 00:24:12,786
Hey, what are you doing here?

556
00:24:13,052 --> 00:24:14,895
We agreed to let this
go after the text.

557
00:24:14,896 --> 00:24:17,619
Yeah, I know, and she texted
me that she'd meet me,

558
00:24:17,620 --> 00:24:19,024
only she stood me up.

559
00:24:20,382 --> 00:24:22,256
I'm guessing she did
the same thing to you.

560
00:24:22,458 --> 00:24:23,412
Yeah.

561
00:24:23,614 --> 00:24:27,316
What are you guys doing here?
This is really not a good time.

562
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:30,478
Yeah, and obviously you're not
gonna end this, so we are.

563
00:24:31,152 --> 00:24:32,606
You know how we both feel.

564
00:24:32,910 --> 00:24:34,559
You have until midnight to decide.

565
00:24:41,713 --> 00:24:43,679
Eric just texted Serena
to see how she's doing

566
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,448
after the blow-out with her mom

567
00:24:45,449 --> 00:24:47,704
and to make sure she's
still on for dinner.

568
00:24:47,724 --> 00:24:49,510
Now the only one left is Blair.

569
00:24:52,281 --> 00:24:55,022
Anne Archibald's foundation
board members at dinner.

570
00:24:55,338 --> 00:24:57,071
Tell them that Serena

571
00:24:57,072 --> 00:24:59,151
would like to be considered
for the position.

572
00:24:59,152 --> 00:25:01,005
What do I do if Blair sees me?

573
00:25:01,616 --> 00:25:02,736
Lie.

574
00:25:06,025 --> 00:25:07,252
Looks like the battle

575
00:25:07,253 --> 00:25:09,672
between Brooklyn and
the Upper East Side

576
00:25:09,673 --> 00:25:11,947
had finally come to a head.

577
00:25:15,619 --> 00:25:18,641
Word has it lonely
boy and golden boy

578
00:25:18,642 --> 00:25:20,766
both declared their love.

579
00:25:24,044 --> 00:25:27,853
They gave Cinderella until
midnight to decide.

580
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:32,445
That Carolina Herrera dress
makes her look like an angel,

581
00:25:32,446 --> 00:25:35,043
but this decision is demonic...

582
00:25:35,224 --> 00:25:38,329
I can't believe it. Dan and
Nate will forgive her anything.

583
00:25:38,330 --> 00:25:40,286
How do we keep her
from making a choice?

584
00:25:40,487 --> 00:25:43,500
We don't. We make it for her.

585
00:25:43,864 --> 00:25:46,379
Take off your clothes and
take out your credit card.

586
00:25:46,472 --> 00:25:50,500
And the forces of evil
are just getting started.

587
00:26:06,696 --> 00:26:08,465
I should've known
taking down Serena

588
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:10,395
involved wearing
the perfect dress.

589
00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:13,512
Well, anytime I can combine
styling with revenge...

590
00:26:13,711 --> 00:26:16,577
Plus, this isn't exactly
my first masquerade party.

591
00:26:17,875 --> 00:26:19,248
I'll see you inside.

592
00:26:50,476 --> 00:26:51,489
Good luck, man.

593
00:26:51,607 --> 00:26:52,818
Yeah, you, too.

594
00:27:00,017 --> 00:27:01,384
Serena Van Der Woodsen.

595
00:27:02,687 --> 00:27:03,724
Go ahead. Thank you.

596
00:27:07,578 --> 00:27:09,128
That should keep
Serena out long enough

597
00:27:09,129 --> 00:27:10,653
for us to make her life hell.

598
00:27:16,235 --> 00:27:18,077
She's here. I just spotted her.

599
00:27:18,235 --> 00:27:19,788
Now you just need
to figure out a way

600
00:27:19,789 --> 00:27:21,297
to get the board
meeting moved here.

601
00:27:21,298 --> 00:27:22,985
I don't think these
ladies wanna witness

602
00:27:22,986 --> 00:27:24,585
Chuck's eternal damnation.

603
00:27:24,586 --> 00:27:27,238
Tell Anne that Blair's
arranged a special surprise

604
00:27:27,239 --> 00:27:29,080
to show her dedication
to girls inc.

605
00:27:29,081 --> 00:27:30,125
And, Vanessa,

606
00:27:30,126 --> 00:27:32,405
you really need to start
showing more initiative.

607
00:27:32,804 --> 00:27:34,595
Jenny's carrying
you on this thing.

608
00:27:39,301 --> 00:27:40,199
I know.

609
00:27:41,708 --> 00:27:42,515
Hey!

610
00:27:43,573 --> 00:27:45,276
Serena, have you seen Chuck?

611
00:27:45,690 --> 00:27:46,717
Wait!

612
00:27:48,641 --> 00:27:50,724
I know that you don't think

613
00:27:50,725 --> 00:27:52,550
you my being with
him is a good idea,

614
00:27:52,551 --> 00:27:55,012
but you have bad
ideas all the time.

615
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:56,603
I don't wanna lose the foundation,

616
00:27:56,604 --> 00:27:58,910
but what's wrong with
wanting to keep it secret

617
00:27:58,911 --> 00:28:01,436
just long enough to find
out how he really feels?

618
00:28:03,028 --> 00:28:04,683
I didn't approve of
your thing with Colin,

619
00:28:04,684 --> 00:28:07,055
but at least I had the decency
to talk to you about it.

620
00:28:07,547 --> 00:28:10,134
Well, I didn't, but you should!

621
00:28:12,064 --> 00:28:14,362
I know it's not my bolognese.

622
00:28:14,569 --> 00:28:16,567
No, Rufus. I'm sorry.
It's delicious.

623
00:28:16,568 --> 00:28:19,766
I'm just... I'm just upset
about this Serena situation.

624
00:28:19,767 --> 00:28:21,139
I thought we'd all moved on.

625
00:28:21,449 --> 00:28:23,229
And Serena broke
things off with Colin.

626
00:28:23,808 --> 00:28:24,979
The "Post" is apologizing.

627
00:28:24,980 --> 00:28:26,800
The dean can't force
Serena out of school.

628
00:28:26,801 --> 00:28:28,701
And by next semester,
this whole thing will be forgotten.

629
00:28:28,702 --> 00:28:31,201
Well, it'd be a lot easier if
Colin was the first teacher

630
00:28:31,202 --> 00:28:32,859
that Serena had
been involved with.

631
00:28:33,753 --> 00:28:35,999
Really? Someone at Constance?

632
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,327
Boarding school.

633
00:28:38,426 --> 00:28:39,222
Boarding school?

634
00:28:39,223 --> 00:28:40,642
Serena was just a kid.

635
00:28:41,108 --> 00:28:43,234
Serena was never a kid.
Believe me.

636
00:28:43,417 --> 00:28:45,882
This was after the
Shepherd wedding,

637
00:28:45,883 --> 00:28:47,134
Pete Fairman...

638
00:28:47,727 --> 00:28:48,965
It didn't end well.

639
00:28:48,966 --> 00:28:52,562
I was lucky I found
a way to handle it.

640
00:28:52,937 --> 00:28:54,093
Well, just because
it happened then

641
00:28:54,094 --> 00:28:55,576
doesn't mean it's happening now.

642
00:29:16,252 --> 00:29:18,905
Hey. Listen, I'm sorry
for laying it on the line

643
00:29:18,906 --> 00:29:20,432
like that earlier. It's just...

644
00:29:24,042 --> 00:29:27,228
Serena, you have no idea the
hell you've put me through.

645
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,105
It is me, right?

646
00:29:33,901 --> 00:29:35,011
So you ready?

647
00:29:35,356 --> 00:29:38,193
As hard as it's gonna be,
I-I know what I have to do.

648
00:29:40,197 --> 00:29:42,524
Hi. Uh, Eric and
Serena Van Der Woodsen

649
00:29:42,525 --> 00:29:43,992
and Elliot Leichter.

650
00:29:44,002 --> 00:29:45,175
Go on in.

651
00:29:46,140 --> 00:29:47,446
What was that name again?

652
00:29:47,802 --> 00:29:49,423
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought he told you.

653
00:29:49,424 --> 00:29:50,802
Serena Van Der Woodsen.

654
00:29:51,288 --> 00:29:52,472
Nice try,

655
00:29:53,003 --> 00:29:54,587
but she's already inside.

656
00:29:55,014 --> 00:29:57,540
Well, that's a mistake
because I'm her.

657
00:29:57,663 --> 00:29:59,697
Sorry. Do you have I.D.?

658
00:30:00,249 --> 00:30:03,742
I didn't come to rent a car.
Everyone here knows me.

659
00:30:06,740 --> 00:30:10,423
Eric, can you get Chuck or K.C.?
And hurry, please.

660
00:30:10,424 --> 00:30:11,919
I don't want to keep them waiting.

661
00:30:19,983 --> 00:30:20,825
Serena!

662
00:30:20,826 --> 00:30:22,090
Hey, there you are.

663
00:30:28,447 --> 00:30:29,221
Excellent.

664
00:30:29,222 --> 00:30:31,149
That... that was a...
Kiss hello, right?

665
00:30:31,150 --> 00:30:32,033
Not a kiss good-bye?

666
00:30:32,034 --> 00:30:33,759
I think I might need
another to be sure.

667
00:30:34,177 --> 00:30:37,333
Are... are you gonna tell Nate?
Let him know I'm, uh, I'm sorry.

668
00:30:37,424 --> 00:30:39,602
I mean, not sorry enough to want
you to change your mind, but...

669
00:30:57,153 --> 00:30:59,577
I avoided K.C.'s prying eyes.

670
00:30:59,679 --> 00:31:02,427
I appreciate that,
and you being here half-dressed.

671
00:31:02,428 --> 00:31:04,320
But don't you have a
denouncement to attend?

672
00:31:04,586 --> 00:31:07,881
Dorota's distracting the board
with Delucie's cavatelli

673
00:31:07,882 --> 00:31:09,339
until I get back.

674
00:31:11,683 --> 00:31:13,112
I heard what you said.

675
00:31:14,654 --> 00:31:17,188
What conversation are you
referring to exactly?

676
00:31:17,189 --> 00:31:20,827
Three one syllable words that,
under the circumstances,

677
00:31:20,828 --> 00:31:22,485
you may or may not have meant.

678
00:31:22,791 --> 00:31:24,488
Do you want me to have meant them?

679
00:31:24,803 --> 00:31:26,958
If they were true,
I would want to know.

680
00:31:32,710 --> 00:31:33,880
Of course.

681
00:31:35,635 --> 00:31:38,369
*

682
00:31:38,971 --> 00:31:42,749
They bark and scream out
for God and their mothers.

683
00:31:43,423 --> 00:31:45,801
Well... I should get back to Anne.

684
00:31:46,106 --> 00:31:47,437
I meant it, Blair...

685
00:31:49,585 --> 00:31:50,880
With all my heart.

686
00:31:59,265 --> 00:32:00,894
You gonna say something this time?

687
00:32:00,895 --> 00:32:03,233
I will. I-I mean...

688
00:32:05,197 --> 00:32:06,172
I do.

689
00:32:10,925 --> 00:32:12,815
You realize we can't
have everything.

690
00:32:13,812 --> 00:32:15,118
Anne won't be the only person

691
00:32:15,119 --> 00:32:17,814
who might think you're
weak for forgiving me.

692
00:32:18,013 --> 00:32:19,883
And you won't build a business

693
00:32:19,884 --> 00:32:22,622
based on being New
York's bad boy bachelor.

694
00:32:22,623 --> 00:32:26,492
I understand the consequences.
Are you willing to pay them?

695
00:32:41,326 --> 00:32:43,120
Serena, what are you doing?!

696
00:32:51,285 --> 00:32:53,119
Looks like saints and sinners

697
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,484
aren't the only ones
battling for souls tonight.

698
00:32:56,940 --> 00:32:58,750
What say we go up
in flames together?

699
00:33:05,765 --> 00:33:09,573
It's no surprise C. and B.
succumbed to the dark side.

700
00:33:09,678 --> 00:33:13,064
But how about the boys from
opposite sides of the bridge?

701
00:33:14,977 --> 00:33:16,318
It's hard to get word

702
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:19,539
when they're both lip-locked
with Serena Van Der Woodsen.

703
00:33:20,967 --> 00:33:23,429
Lucky I have the
pictures to prove it.

704
00:33:39,163 --> 00:33:41,566
Anne? I can explain.

705
00:33:41,567 --> 00:33:44,737
I'm not sure how this shows
your dedication to girls inc.

706
00:33:44,910 --> 00:33:46,839
You know, you lost any
sympathy I may have had

707
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,797
for your previous choices
the moment I saw you

708
00:33:48,798 --> 00:33:50,584
kissing Charles in your underwear.

709
00:33:50,585 --> 00:33:54,008
Shouldn't empowered women get
to have relationships, too?

710
00:33:54,688 --> 00:33:56,950
Being with Chuck doesn't
make me less Blair.

711
00:33:56,951 --> 00:33:58,565
I'm sorry, but it does.

712
00:33:58,681 --> 00:34:01,117
The man you're with may not
be a reflection of you,

713
00:34:01,118 --> 00:34:03,630
but you will always be
a reflection of him.

714
00:34:03,913 --> 00:34:05,070
That's not fair.

715
00:34:05,071 --> 00:34:07,403
Maybe not, but the
sooner you accept it,

716
00:34:07,404 --> 00:34:09,287
the easier your decisions will be.

717
00:34:10,011 --> 00:34:11,055
And please tell Serena

718
00:34:11,056 --> 00:34:13,196
while I appreciate her
interest in the position,

719
00:34:13,468 --> 00:34:16,176
she's not the type of girl
we're looking for either.

720
00:34:21,501 --> 00:34:22,887
At least she was polite.

721
00:34:22,971 --> 00:34:25,080
I doubt we'll have that with K.C.

722
00:34:25,275 --> 00:34:28,557
Give me a minute.
I have to go find Serena.

723
00:34:40,831 --> 00:34:42,243
How could I have
kissed either of you

724
00:34:42,244 --> 00:34:43,967
when I couldn't even
get into the party?

725
00:34:43,968 --> 00:34:46,904
So someone dressed exactly like you,
wearing your perfume,

726
00:34:46,905 --> 00:34:48,878
just happened to be
attracted to both of us?

727
00:34:48,988 --> 00:34:50,937
I-I don't know.
I-I can't explain it.

728
00:34:50,938 --> 00:34:53,265
So this mystery person
texted us from Paris, too?

729
00:34:53,266 --> 00:34:55,352
And used us to make some
adjunct professor jealous

730
00:34:55,353 --> 00:34:56,534
and stood us up?

731
00:34:56,535 --> 00:34:59,714
No, I am partially
responsible for this.

732
00:35:00,595 --> 00:35:02,823
I came here tonight to
tell you how I felt.

733
00:35:02,824 --> 00:35:05,465
Doesn't that count for more than a
"Gossip Girl" blast?

734
00:35:05,466 --> 00:35:07,081
We can't keep chasing
you in circles.

735
00:35:07,505 --> 00:35:09,563
You didn't make the choice.
We made it for you.

736
00:35:10,850 --> 00:35:12,105
I didn't do this.

737
00:35:12,106 --> 00:35:15,765
I'm with him. So good-bye, Serena.

738
00:35:30,504 --> 00:35:32,635
B., you know I didn't
kiss both of them.

739
00:35:32,636 --> 00:35:35,763
Do I? It's no worse than
what you did to me and Chuck.

740
00:35:35,764 --> 00:35:36,773
What?

741
00:35:37,424 --> 00:35:39,795
I had nothing to do with you
coming here in your underwear.

742
00:35:39,796 --> 00:35:41,029
You knew what you had to lose.

743
00:35:41,030 --> 00:35:44,694
I kept trying to figure out
why you would expose us.

744
00:35:44,695 --> 00:35:45,908
And then Anne Archibald told me

745
00:35:45,909 --> 00:35:48,263
that you wanted to be the
face of her foundation.

746
00:35:48,264 --> 00:35:50,914
Oh, come on. When are
you gonna give it up?

747
00:35:50,915 --> 00:35:52,560
I don't want everything
that you want.

748
00:35:52,561 --> 00:35:53,893
I couldn't be less interested.

749
00:35:53,894 --> 00:35:56,784
So Anne, Nate,
and Dan are all liars?

750
00:35:56,807 --> 00:35:58,961
That's a lot of people to blame,
even for you.

751
00:35:58,962 --> 00:36:00,869
Just admit you did
the wrong thing,

752
00:36:00,870 --> 00:36:02,484
or maybe you don't even
know what that is anymore.

753
00:36:02,485 --> 00:36:04,512
You know, you're not the first
person to say that today,

754
00:36:04,513 --> 00:36:07,312
so I guess it must be true.
You know, it was a bad choice

755
00:36:07,313 --> 00:36:08,973
thinking that you'd be on my side.

756
00:36:08,974 --> 00:36:10,717
Not as bad as my believing

757
00:36:10,718 --> 00:36:13,583
that you'd ever be
happy for my success.

758
00:36:17,938 --> 00:36:20,066
Hey. Whoa, Serena.
Hey, don't run off.

759
00:36:20,067 --> 00:36:21,710
Why not? Mom's not the only one

760
00:36:21,711 --> 00:36:24,318
who still sees me as a
messed-up 16-year-old.

761
00:36:24,319 --> 00:36:26,286
No one can see that I've changed.
No one cares.

762
00:36:26,287 --> 00:36:27,564
I-I care.

763
00:36:27,565 --> 00:36:30,057
You're my little brother.
You're not enough.

764
00:36:34,617 --> 00:36:35,437
Oh.

765
00:36:35,438 --> 00:36:37,269
You're just in time
to hear K.C. tell me

766
00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:39,286
how I've destroyed my
bad boy business plan

767
00:36:39,287 --> 00:36:40,301
once and for all.

768
00:36:40,302 --> 00:36:43,160
I warned you, but it
turns out I was wrong.

769
00:36:43,269 --> 00:36:44,874
This party is so decadent

770
00:36:44,875 --> 00:36:47,159
and in the private rooms,
frankly, illegal.

771
00:36:47,298 --> 00:36:50,632
The big romantic gesture showed
the hedonist has a heart.

772
00:36:51,408 --> 00:36:54,433
So Blair's the perfect balance?

773
00:36:54,434 --> 00:36:55,651
With the press this will get,

774
00:36:55,652 --> 00:36:58,040
you can expect the hotel will
be fully booked by Monday.

775
00:36:58,041 --> 00:37:00,219
I'm already getting calls
for personal appearances.

776
00:37:00,220 --> 00:37:03,260
In fact, I would love to
get you some photo ops.

777
00:37:03,261 --> 00:37:05,216
You know, Chuck Bass'
girlfriend at store openings,

778
00:37:05,217 --> 00:37:06,880
fashion shows, that kind of thing.

779
00:37:06,907 --> 00:37:08,473
Call me and we'll schedule.

780
00:37:09,544 --> 00:37:12,103
It appears the rules
are there to be broken.

781
00:37:12,518 --> 00:37:13,998
We can have everything.

782
00:37:13,999 --> 00:37:15,284
No, you can.

783
00:37:16,094 --> 00:37:17,367
It's me who can't.

784
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,065
Hey, hey. It's okay.
Come on. I got you.

785
00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:40,581
In the battle between
good and evil,

786
00:37:40,582 --> 00:37:42,834
score one for the sinners.

787
00:37:42,972 --> 00:37:44,472
Hi. Sorry.

788
00:37:45,147 --> 00:37:47,514
My friend's had a little
bit too much to drink.

789
00:37:49,421 --> 00:37:53,551
Looks like S. could end up
the next saintly sacrifice.

790
00:37:58,564 --> 00:38:00,822
Pleasant dreams, sweet angel.

791
00:38:10,776 --> 00:38:13,531
I'll give you the money to start
whatever foundation you want.

792
00:38:13,532 --> 00:38:16,123
It won't change anything.
Anne's right.

793
00:38:16,124 --> 00:38:18,792
As long as I'm with you,
I'm Hillary in the White House,

794
00:38:18,793 --> 00:38:20,935
and I wanna be Hillary
secretary of state,

795
00:38:20,936 --> 00:38:22,576
but with better hair.

796
00:38:22,577 --> 00:38:24,578
Then you'll find another
way to show the world

797
00:38:24,579 --> 00:38:26,394
you're a force to
be reckoned with.

798
00:38:26,694 --> 00:38:28,399
We'll build our futures together.

799
00:38:28,867 --> 00:38:31,934
I followed my heart all last
year and it led me nowhere.

800
00:38:32,906 --> 00:38:34,523
Now I need to follow my head.

801
00:38:34,524 --> 00:38:36,438
You don't need to
choose between them.

802
00:38:36,439 --> 00:38:38,828
Look at Brad and Angelina.
They takes turns on top.

803
00:38:38,829 --> 00:38:40,992
Yeah, but she won an Oscar first.

804
00:38:42,150 --> 00:38:44,592
I'm sorry, but I have
to be Blair Waldorf

805
00:38:44,593 --> 00:38:47,025
before I can be Chuck
Bass' girlfriend.

806
00:38:47,540 --> 00:38:48,733
I love you.

807
00:38:50,338 --> 00:38:51,865
I love you, too.

808
00:38:55,137 --> 00:38:56,761
I don't expect you to wait.

809
00:38:58,036 --> 00:38:59,975
If two people are
meant to be together,

810
00:39:00,531 --> 00:39:02,600
eventually they'll
find their way back.

811
00:39:03,370 --> 00:39:04,947
Do you really believe that?

812
00:39:04,948 --> 00:39:06,113
I do.

813
00:39:07,606 --> 00:39:08,994
So do I.

814
00:39:28,438 --> 00:39:29,699
Still no Juliet?

815
00:39:29,789 --> 00:39:32,023
No. But I gotta get back to Hudson

816
00:39:32,024 --> 00:39:35,138
before my luck runs out and I
run smack into Blair and my dad.

817
00:39:35,139 --> 00:39:37,633
Well, it was nice to finally
win one for team Brooklyn.

818
00:39:37,634 --> 00:39:39,402
You sure you can't
stay and celebrate?

819
00:39:39,521 --> 00:39:41,272
I can try texting Juliet again.

820
00:39:50,891 --> 00:39:52,202
*

821
00:40:00,489 --> 00:40:03,253
*

822
00:40:03,616 --> 00:40:05,687
That's the thing about destiny.

823
00:40:05,963 --> 00:40:08,190
Instead of too many choices,

824
00:40:08,970 --> 00:40:10,779
you suddenly have none.

825
00:40:23,381 --> 00:40:26,587
The prince of darkness
finally sees the light,

826
00:40:26,638 --> 00:40:30,032
only to realize it's
no longer an option...

827
00:40:34,764 --> 00:40:37,705
And the time for love
has come and gone.

828
00:40:39,655 --> 00:40:41,202
Well, not to sound like a
high school cheerleader,

829
00:40:41,203 --> 00:40:43,743
but I-I-I'm glad we
were in this together.

830
00:40:45,458 --> 00:40:47,794
You're not hot enough to be
a high school cheerleader,

831
00:40:47,993 --> 00:40:49,866
but me, too. Otherwise,
I'd probably be looking

832
00:40:49,867 --> 00:40:51,211
for a reason to blame you.

833
00:40:51,246 --> 00:40:53,160
And you did make a
damn good scapegoat.

834
00:40:54,216 --> 00:40:56,286
Hey, you wanna go play
red dead redemption?

835
00:40:56,393 --> 00:40:58,568
One ground rule, though. One.

836
00:40:58,569 --> 00:41:02,001
Serena Van Der Woodsen
does not exist.

837
00:41:02,190 --> 00:41:03,052
Perfect.

838
00:41:03,053 --> 00:41:05,954
The rest of us just have
to keep moving forward...

839
00:41:05,955 --> 00:41:08,045
Yes, of course. I understand.

840
00:41:08,657 --> 00:41:10,251
She's over 18.

841
00:41:11,405 --> 00:41:13,518
Y-well, thank you for your call.

842
00:41:17,144 --> 00:41:18,483
That was dean Reuther.

843
00:41:18,616 --> 00:41:20,737
Your sister just
withdrew from Columbia.

844
00:41:20,738 --> 00:41:23,194
Alienate everybody,
drop out of school, run away...

845
00:41:23,195 --> 00:41:24,629
That sounds like Serena.

846
00:41:24,860 --> 00:41:26,038
You're right.

847
00:41:26,730 --> 00:41:29,291
I'm not sure there's
anything we can do anymore.

848
00:41:33,349 --> 00:41:36,311
Accept the choice is
out of your hands.

849
00:41:38,690 --> 00:41:41,262
It's up to the fates to decide.

850
00:41:42,864 --> 00:41:45,863
X.O.X.O., Gossip Girl.
