Tati's spoilers
The first scene I saw:
Chuck sees Serena across the quad and calls out, "I know you're not a geography major, but Brown is in Rhode Island."
Serena looks annoyed and says, "I don't have time for this, Chuck."

I couldn't hear the rest of the dialogue, but Chuck looked pretty pleased and S looked pretty pissed. She kept trying to walk away and he would call something back to her. She turned around and bitched him out a bit, then stalked off. Chuck continued to look like he wanted to have sex with someone in the vicinity.

The PA guy filled me in that Serena had done something to upset Blair, so they were fighting. During one fight, Blair said that Serena couldn't even get into Yale if she tried, so Serena had decided to visit Yale instead of Brown to spite Blair/prove her wrong.

The second scene:
Chuck is walking around a corner, bumps into a beautiful man dressed all in black. The beautiful man (Skull and Bones) whips Chuck around, two other guys come out and throw brown bag over his head. The S&B leader whispers something in his ear and they carry him off.

The third scene:
Blair sees Serena coming out of a "Yale" building and says, "What are you doing here? Yale is mine!"
Serena replies, "Oh, I hear Yale has a great drama program."

I didn't hear the rest of the dialogue, but my extra friend informed me that Blair accuses Serena of trying to take everything from her, and just being at Yale out of spite. Serena denies it, then gets a phone call and is like, "Oh, a private party at the dean's house? I'd LOVE to come." Blair is piiiiissed.

The fourth scene:
The next day, Blair and Serena meet up again and Serena apologizes, saying Blair was right and she shouldn't have tried to take Yale out of spite. Blair forgives her and says she's sorry, too. They hold hands.

The fifth scene:
A crane shot of Dan walking along the quad. He gets a phone call, appears a little distraught or unnerved by it and starts walking very quickly in the opposite direction.

General Spoilers

According to everyone:
Willa Holland has joined in a three-episode arc as Agnes (a model who wishes to take Jenny to the dark side and betray Eleanor). John Patrick Amedori has joined as Aaron, an artistic love interest for Serena.

Leighton says:
(About Chuck and Blair in season 2) "We have a lot of conflict, believe me. And their conflict is very interesting, because it's very internal. There's not real outward obstacles. It's a lot of their own minds colliding with each other. Her not wanting to give in. Him being a playboy and not being able to fall for her completely. And then when he does, he doesn't show it. And when she does, he shuns it, and all these things. So it's very real life, and to me it kind of is this sort of bad girl/bad boy version of The Age of Innocence with Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfieffer's characters."

CW Gossip Girl Season 2 Description-courtesy of ggmedia.org

According to Interviews from the Premiere:
Chuck has been contemplating his decision to stand Blair up all summer.
Blair is hurting herself by not being with Chuck, even though she wants to be.
Rufus will be making Lily a little jealous with his new girlfriends.
Vanessa still has feelings for Nate, tries to help him, and screws up BIG TIME.
Nate's dad will reappear eventually.
Jenny is "eperimenting" and deeply involved in her work.
Dan is experimenting for the sake of his writing.
Serena is...hanging with an older crowd.

According to Dawn Ostroff:
"Blair and Serena: their relationship will be nothing like it is now."
"Dan and Serena: Their relationship will go through a huge change."

According to the TV Guide magazine:
Tamara Feldman will appear on the CW's Gossip Girl as Poppy a new classmate who befriends Serena (Blake Lively) for at least three episodes. She still hopes to return to her Dirty Sexy Money role as Jeremy's ex who lied about being pregnant. In an interview, she stated that Poppy will not be a frienemy like Georgina, but rather a woman who has truly taken a liking to Serena.

According to the New York Observer: Rufus and Jenny will run into trouble when she must decide between school and design.

According to IMDB Spoiler Board:
Duchess Catherine knows about Nate's dad and has been helping Nate financially. After they break up, Nate and Vanessa get back together, but Catherine threatens to report Nate's father to the authorities if V stays. So V leaves N.
V has turned Rufus' art gallery into a combination coffee shop/art place.
Lily and Bart will not be at the Hamptons, as Kelly Rutherford asked for more time off.


According to People: Chuck and Marcus will play a game of squash, in which C will endear himself to M and get his phone number. All part of a stalkerish plan to sabotage Blair's new love, of course.

According to Entertainment Weekly:
Leighton says that Blair still has feelings for Chuck, but "maybe" he messed up. There will be a lot of bickering and evil plans between them."

Connor Paolo told cinemablend that he hopes for more Eric/Chuck time, and then Eric will get more "badass" next season.

Blake says, "Whatever happens at the Hamptons doesn't stay there."

From Kristin's video: "The writers have identified their Ross and Rachel for the whole series and guess what? It's not Serena and Dan! Word is they'll be on the outs for the next season, while the spotlight shifts to Blair and Chuck. They'll learn to play nice and retract their claws."

Any word on Gossip Girl next season?

Hope you are sitting down for this and have a paper bag to breathe into because I’m hearing the future is not looking good for Dan and Serena. Gaaahhh! I know, I know, come here and I’ll hold you. Sources tell me that in season two, Dan and Serena will be up and down and all around and everywhere except happy coupledom. The crazy-good news, though? Bluck or Chair or whatever you want to call them are so on. Apparently, the producers have noticed the crazy-good chemistry that lies within that naughty-by-nature duo, and there'll be much more of them ahead. I'm actually told they will be "the couple" moving forward.
