The Grandfather

Gossip Girl is impressing me!...TWO NEW EPISODES IN A ROW! You know how it goes, here is the re-cap on what happened this week!

Nate's cousin Trip is in town and is trying to get Nate to make an apperance at the family party. (For all of you who don't know, Nate's father got into drug and money trouble in the past. Nate and his mother do not associate with anyone in his family, espescially not his grandfather.)

Lilly just found out that her art dealer used to date Rufus, and he never said anything to her. They decide to make lists of everyone they have ever dated.

Nate decides to go to the family history celebration. Trip tells Nate that his grandfather did not know he was coming, which is what Trip had originally said. He is very delighted to see Nate.

Chuck goes to see Blair who has been having a private party with Carter. Serena and Blair go shopping where Blair shoplifts, she is acting out for not getting into Yale. Serena calls Chuck for help.

Trip's fiance tells Vanessa that she thinks Nate is going to be a politician and that she can already picture the campaign posters. She says "Welcome to the next 30 years" to Vanessa.

Chuck meets with Carter. Serena gives Carter a plane ticket to go out of town, he declines. She decides to blackmail him with some unknown information involving the two of them in Santorini and the Greek police.

Rufus gives Lilly his date list, it is very short. She decides to give him only one page of many.

Serena and Chuck go to find Blair, they can't find her. They thought went to the gentelman's club party alone. They find her and she is meeting with a representative from Sarah Lawrence, where she is told it will never happen.

Serena and Chuck decide to follow Blair who decides to crash Nate's family gathering filled with the elite. She is making a fool out of herself and bashing everyone in public.

Rufus finds the rest of Lilly's date list.

Trip tells Vanessa that Nate has an internship at the Mayor's office this summer, not their backpacking trip they had planned. Vanessa is hurt that Nate is letting his grandfather make his decisions for him.

Chuck tells Blair this is not the real her, and that he knows her better. They start kissing, she wants to hook-up with him. He refuses, he said "this isn't you, it's not the Blair I want." She agrees and tells him she will never be the old Blair.

Nate goes outside only to find Blair. She is remeniscing about their past, she tells Nate how she wonders how everything got so screwed up. She feels lost and doesnt know who she is anymore.

Serena slaps Dan for sleeping with Rachel.

Rufus confronts Lilly about her lying. She feels like he is ashamed of her and her past. Rufus walks out on her.

Nate accepts the internship at the Mayor's office and ditches his plans with Vanessa. She does not know if they are broken up or not.

Chuck tells Serena he is losing her. She tells him to fight for her like she fought for Chuck in the past.

Rufus apologizes and he and Lilly make up.

Chuck goes to Blair's house to see her. Nate is there, shes ask him to stay.

Next Week's Prediction: I think Blair is going to try to hook up with Nate, but I think he is going to turn her down. He is going to realize how much he likes Vanessa and decline the internship at the Mayor's office. Chuck is finally going to win Blair over.

The Age of Dissonace

Sorry for the overdue post fans..but Gossip Girl FINALLY decided to launch a new episode! With spring break being last week I am a little behind on everything. This episode aired on March 16th. For all of those who missed it, here is the recap!

The senior class is putting on their senior play: The Age of Innocence. Blair is playing the lead Countess Olenska opposite Dan. Serena is playing May, she has a crush on their play director, Julian.

Nelli got in early to Yale. Yale only gives one early acceptance to one student, Blair is worried she lost her spot. Rachel is back teaching at school, and all the other teachers are giving her dirty looks.

Chuck goes out to lunch and sees crazy, Constance alum, Carter Basin out to lunch with Elle. She says he must be mistaken and that her name is Haley. Elle/Haley exits the restaurant through the kitchen, followed by Carter, who is followed by Mr. Campbell, one of Bart Bass's friends.

Dan has Jenny deliver a note to Rachel saying he needs to see her alone, she places a key into the note as a reply.

Blair goes to the see headmistresses about Yale, and her acceptance has been revoked.

Jenny drops the note between Dan and Rachel on accident. Rufus picks it up and reads it and takes the key.

Blair confronts Nelli, Nelli tells her she did not rat her out to Yale. Gossip Girl sent out a message exposing one of Blair's past scandals; someone is out to get her. Blair thinks Vanessa is out to get her. Vanessa is currently making a documentary about the play. Serena takes Vanessa's side.

Elle needs help from Chuck, she wants to leave the country and get a new identity. They start kissing and he suggests Brazil.

Vanessa, Serena and Nate grab dinner with Julian. Vanessa and Julian have everything in common, it is obvious Nate senses it. She thinks he is self-absorbed. Serena wants private acting lessons, and gives him her address.

Rufus goes to Rachel's apartment, where she has candles lit, in place of Dan and returns her key. Rufus tells Dan that he and Miss Carr are over. He tells him that he likes her and he will decide who he sees.

Serena has acting lessons with Julian, she is not interested in what he is interested in at all. She has an ear piece in with Vanessa on the other end feeding her lines. Nate overhears and thinks that she is talking to Julian. Gossip Girl sent out another text saying that Serena got into Yale and that her only pre-requisite was a press release, someone is out to get her as well.

Chuck and Elle meet with Carter who has the hook-up for her new passport. Elle gets in the limo with Carter who is part of the mysterious gentleman's club she is trying to get away with, big mistake.

(From here on, all this is happening while the play is being performed on stage.)

Serena blames Blair for the Gossip Girl post which she said she did not do. Dan is the only other person that knew her secret.

Dan and Rachel have sex in the costume closet.

Chuck meets with Mr. Campbell to ask him about the club, he says he has no idea what he is talking about and that he can't say anything.

All of the students on stage are distracted by what is going on and are messing up the play. Each student voices their frustrations on stage. The audience thought it was planned and great. Julian tells Serena he is gay.

Chuck goes to see Elle, she signed an agreement and got money. He asks her about Brazil and she said she made a plan for herself, she used him. She said he had a good heart and that he needed to give it so someone who cares.

Rachel was the one sending the Gossip Girl posts, Dan wants nothing to do with her.

Blair is realizing that she has been a horrible person, and says getting kicked out of Yale was the karma she deserves.

Rachel leaves Dan a note saying she is moving back to Iowa.

Chuck goes to Blair's apartment to wait for her, in hopes of getting her back. In the meantime Carter buys Blair a drink.

Next Week's Prediction: I think Blair and Carter are going to get together. I think Chuck is going to confess his love to her, hopefully she accepts it. I think there is going to be more drama with the gentleman's club fiasco, I'm just not sure what about.
