Kiss of Death

I shall come along and help people talk! I really LOVED Serena tonight. This could be great for her! *fingers crossed*

Gossip Girl 5x01

Three guesses on my favorite part of the episode. Guess away. I’ll tell you if you’re right in a reply.

We start with a black-and-white scene – obviously the movie Serena is working on. And enter S, driving a golf cart and carrying coffee. Ah, the life of an intern(ish). Thank god I never had to do that type of work for my internships. Alas, she gets mail and TA DA! Save the Date! Aw, cute smile for her bestie.

The Hamptons. Dan’s playing baseball on some league whatever it is. Rufus returns. He was in London with Jenny and Eric, helping Jenny move in. Eric stayed. Rufus was pretty much kicked away. Oh, and here is mail, Dan. B’s Save the Date! Aren’t you happy, son?!?!? Oh, sure, yeah. Why wouldn’t I be. Me? I’m just shocked that Dan can mourn a girl for this long.

CHUCK CAN DRIVE! OMG! Not only can he DRIVE, but he is on a motorcycle! DYING OF HAPPINESS! SO HOT! And his LOOK. I am LOVING this look! PLEASE CONTINUE THIS LOOK!

Also, Nate gets two Save the Date cards, one for each. But Nate hides it because he doesn’t know how Chuck will react. Oh, but I disagree show. I know you WANT me to think that’s the reason, but here it is: Nate wants Chuck all for himself. He doesn’t want to share with Blair, so he keeps any Blair talk non-existent with Chuck. Also, Chuckles, Natie no take anyone else to bed because he is waiting for YOU. Why you always keep him waiting, baby?

I really DO love Louis. I think he’s a nice guy. Cute. Really does love Blair. And I think Blair feels the same. Alas, she wants sexy-times with fiancé, not wedding plans talk. Ah, but we cannot because we did that all summer. (Oh! I see what you’re doing there show. ) “Would a present help motivate you downstairs?” Ah! You know her too well, Louis! Blair lights up! “How did you know just what I was missing?” Oh, Blair-Bear, because everyone knows expensive jewelry is the way to your heart. ♥

Alas, all you hear next is Eleanor and Sophie. Oh, Mommies…

Nate/Serena! On the boat. Whose is this? Oh, Chuck won this in a game against Allegra Versace. He also won her, but that’s a story for another time.

Enter Chuck. YOU GUYS! vdB is alive and kicking! YOU GUYS! DID YOU SEE THAT?!?! HUG AND KISS! OMG! I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN! **** this ****. I FORGIVE YOU SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN FOR THROWING A HISSY FIT AT BART’S FUNERAL IN FRONT OF CHUCK. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY FORGIVEN! I’m dead. I can die happy. I mean, sure, I STILL want her to call him brother or ‘bro,’ but XOXO! THANK THE LORD! YES YES YES! ♥♥♥

Anyway, back to the episode: Chuck’s secret is YES. Just say YES to everything. S tells the boys about Marshall and what a prick he is. Chuck tells her to tell Jane what she thought of the scene. YES. All right.

OMG! CONSISTENCY! Jeremiah the writer guy is in the Hamptons. Goes to Dan and tells him a story is published that reminded him of Dan. “It reminded me of your work, but better.” THANK YOU! That made me giggle. Also, the protagonist’s name is DILLAN HUNTER; DH. And he knows how Dan names characters.

Blair and Louis with the moms. They argue about what Blair wants vs. Sophie and tradition. Blair is PISSED.

Dorota sees a Gossip Girl blast about a pregnancy. She deletes it. Offers B alcohol. No thanks.

CUT TO: Serena denouncing alcohol herself to the boys.

Blair/Serena are having their daily bestie phone call. S says that if B wears the dress for the shoot, maybe Sophie will let B wear her own dress for the actual wedding.

Dorota is sketchy about did you see Gossip Girl? No. But busy.

CNS are at S’s work. “He’s Chuck Bass.” ♥ Chuck goes off. And NS are alone after Marshall leaves.

Nate: “The zip codes may be different, but douchebags are the same no matter where you go.” So true!

Someone comes to S asking if Nate is her noon audition. You know the drill: YES.

Dan and Rufus enter the Loft. Dan knows it’s Vanessa. Who else. Has Rufus heard from Gabriella? Do you think Jenny knows? Dan wrote this in the spring about Blair. It could ruin her future.

Louis cannot say no to his mother. B is getting antsy.

Serena and Jane. Jane likes her. Gives her more responsibility. Marshall gives her a list to do by tomorrow.

Chuck drops down from a roof and lands on the stunt mat. Everyone is all WTF. He asks the stunt coordinator out. YES.

Nate/Mary Jane OTP is forever. NEVER FORGOTTEN! Thank you! Also, that role was HIM. East coaster; political family; rich… bummer, says S. Shoulda said YES. No thank you. So Serena says to go reinvent yourself. Starting at the party!

Blair’s is a GORGEOUS green and white dress. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! ♥ Blair/Eleanor/Dorota time. “I am a Waldorf woman; I need to know I still have a voice. And that that voice is heard.” YOU TELL ‘EM, BLAIR-BEAR! YES YES YES!

Blair walks away to wait for Louis downstairs.

Eleanor: “I swear, sometimes I don’t know where she gets it from.”
Dorota does a MASSIVE eye roll, of which she does not hide and Eleanor’s face at that is PRICELESS! Eleanor, please never leave me!

Dan goes to Louis and asks to kill the story. It’s about Blair. Please.

Stunt Lady comes. Chuck sees the invite and goes, oh, we SHOULD bike through curves to party. It’s SAFE, promise!

NS are at the party. S goes to deliver the weed while Marshall deletes it off the list of things to do. Also, “Are you that guy, from that movie?” S gives Nate the look and **** it. YES!

Louis calls to tell Blair he’s not even going. But B doesn’t believe him. Why can’t you tell me why?!?! Oh, the tears in B’s eyes. I love you, Leighton!

Nate’s with the owner. NICE! Lol!

Caught with pot. S is all wtf to Marshall.

Blair goes to the loft. Louis can’t stand up to his mom. She says she’ll call off the engagement. She wants to go away. Dan’s her only friend in NY. How about the Hamptons? Enter Louis.

Chuck’s on the bike. Going fast. She tells him to cool it. NO WORRIES! And then he CRASHES!

COMMERICIAL.

He stands up. Any blood? No. COOL! So, we go more, yes? NO! I see a lot of people who do this because they are thrill seekers, but some do it because they are running, there’s something they’re trying to block. “I think you need help.” Me? NO! NEVER! EVER! NO! (oh, but I thought the magic word was YES, Chuckles…)

Marshall tells S that she is Serena van der Woodsen. She doesn’t need this. And Serena then tells the lady that she gave it to the actor. It was a prank, she should have known better. Tell Jane I’m packing up tomorrow.

Dan says Louis is there for him. Blair’s so confused. Dan tells her that there was a story he wrote about her. But it’s cut? YES, says Louis (oh, he knows the game!). “He really is your prince.”

AND OMG! BLAIR STANDS UP FOR HERSELF! THANK THE LORD! FINALLY! YES YES YES! PERFECTION x INFINITY!

“You let me walk away from almost everything tonight. When all the while you knew exactly where Louis was; exactly what he was doing. For me. How could you let that happen? Why would you…”

And Gossip Girl’s voice over about 3 words, 8 letters. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THEM.

CNS on the boat. Chuck is all kinds of awesome voice of reason. You guys need a change. Old you sucks. Also, I’m okay. I know. YOU KNOW?!?! Nate CRIES because OMG! CHUCK KNOWS! DO NOT LEAVE ME FOR HER AGAIN, CHUCKLES! Oh, you’re okay? You’re going to go her? Really, you’re staying with me? Oh, did you know in New York, gay marriage is legal? Let’s go home now?

YOU GUYS! THREESOME RIGHT THERE! RIGHT NOW! THE HUG! DID YOU SEE THIS?!?! SOMEONE KILL ME KNOW SO I CAN DIE IN HAPPINESS! THREESOME! YES YES YES! THE HUG! *flailing right now*

Eleanor confronts Blair about a pregnancy book. WTF, Mother? DOROTA! IT IS DOROTA! Oh, and you all thought I was just COPING with saying it’s DOROTA who was pregnant in the finale. I WAS RIGHT, BITCHES! THANK YOU. “Baby no. 2 on way!” AND THREESOME HUG!

CNS/BED FOREVER! ♥

Elizabeth Hurley is on the phone. She knew she would meet Nate in New York, but hadn’t expected it this early. So who is she? I don’t know, I wanna say the Captain’s new girl? Only because I don’t know.

Anyway, Serena gets a job.

Dan and Rufus. All clear. But Rufus thought it would be BAD about Blair. Um, did you read the ending? Oh, I thought that was creative licensing…nope. Alas, mail from Barcelona. It’s a CHECK. $10,000. Because Vanessa CLEARLY STOLE it for HERSELF. Naturally. Oh, fandom.

“Congratulations on your first novel.” I love you, Vanessa Abrams. Come back to New York. I’ll meet you. Let’s get married!

S tells boys she got a job. How about champagne now? YES! Oops, it popped. You can clean up in the bathroom. Oh man, he has a NASTY bruise. He touches it. But he’s like NUMB to him. Chuckles, have you been stealing Eric’s anti-depressants?

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESS! I don’t know why you is complaining, Blair! Alas, Louis gives her HER flowers and tells his mother he needs to talk to her about other changes.

And the seamstress says Blair is six weeks pregnant. Because that’s how the show rolls. Blair is CLEARLY shocked. I don’t even care. Because I think Dan is talking about kisses. And if Dan is in the running, so is Chuck, so it’s not Dan. I don’t really have any thoughts on BL+baby. I don’t care. I’m just happy Dorota is pregnant and I WAS RIGHT. Because it was DOROTA’s test in the finale.

Also, DO NOT CARE ABOUT IVY! BUT! At least that was only because Serena ran into her and stuff. But, NO CARE! BYE!

thanks!!

Thanks for the recap. Any thoughts on the ep/Serena's SL?

Kiss of Death

I cannot say I liked anything about Serena's storyline besides the SD phone call. Mostly because my weekly dose of vdB as she told Dan to call Chuck.

Otherwise, yeah, no. Don't like Ivy/Charlie. Serena. Stop. Just stop.

And she's returning to NY. I figured the job would be back home. LA and NY are THE places.

I miss Blair/Serena.

Yeah, totally hate the Ivy side of the story too. I want her just focusing on her work tbh. That was actually interesting...

But yes, the return of the Besties next week should be hella good!
