I mentioned Nate's father, Harold Archibald in the previous post. He is referred to as "The Captain." Not everyone has been a Gossip Girl fan as long as I have, so some people don't know old Howie like I do. I figured since I mentioned him, I might as well give some background information on him.
1. He got his nickname "The Captain" because he was a former Navy captain. After is time in the Navy he became a wealthy banker.
2. He emptied Nate's trust fund, when Nate was in desperate need of the cash.
3. Nate got the money back, but when looking for answers he found a bag of cocaine in Howard's desk.
4. He gets caught with the cocaine by his wife. He blames it on Nate, and he is forced to take the fall for his father's actions.
5. He lied to his son and told him he only did cocaine once.
6. He was caught buying cocaine by Nate.
7. He punches Nate in the face while he was high when Nate confronts him.
8. He was arrested for the punch and in addition to the drug-related charges, he is being accused of embezzlement.
9. He goes to rehab for his full-blown cocaine addiction.
10. He buys a passport and skips town to avoid his fraud charges.
11. He moves to the Dominican Republic, leaving his family behind with his mess.
13. He is followed by the FBI, who knows he is in town.
14. He turns himself in to the police to serve his time.
Now we all see why Nate's father is sadly not in the picture anymore. Basically he ruined the entire family's relationship. He came around at the end and was honest and turned himself in.
