Gossip Girl 4x21

1. Gossip Girl here, your one and only source

2. into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.

3. Vanessa said if I helped Rufus

4. uh, it'd help me get you.

5. He's under the impression you tried to sabotage me

6. and you happen to make a perfect villain.

7. My goal was to destroy Chuck.

8. My uncle is my worst enemy.

9. Chuck tried to cover up the truth about my mother.

10. 'This one is from 8 p.m. The night of the fire.'

11. - What's on it? - Bart.

12. Having an argument with a woman. Avery Thorpe.

13. My father and Avery Thorpe were having an affair.

14. I'll explain it all in person.

15. I look forward to meeting with you too, Jack.

16. Don't think I don't know it was you that sent

17. Princess Sophie that scrapbook from Gossip Girl.

18. Without the royal court's approval, it means even more.

19. Will you marry me?

20. You'll never marry anyone else. You're mine.

21. - I said it's over. - No!

22. 'Aah!'

23. Mom, I have some news. I'm engaged.

24. Where has she been, Serena?

25. And who am I?

26. That's one secret I'll never tell.

27. You know you love me.

28. XOXO.

29. Gossip Girl.

30. You're not in my dream anymore.

31. Good morning, sleepyheads.

32. Looks like dream until your dreams come true

33. wasn't such a good idea after all.

34. So I thought I'd bring some luxury across the river.

35. Brooklyn needs it.

36. It's all bars, bakeries and babies.

37. 'No hotel in sight.'

38. Charles place. You up to attend the ribbon cutting?

39. No, thanks.

40. Still pissed I lied to Raina about my father?

41. Yeah, well, it was a big lie. Even for you.

42. That's why I'm stepping out from under his dark shadow

43. and away from the Bass name.

44. Whatever you wanna call yourself or your hotel

45. you're still the same person.

46. And with everything going on

47. I still need my best friend by my side.

48. I saw what you did to Blair.

49. Gonna stay with Raina for a while.

50. If you walk out, don't be here when I get back.

51. Don't worry. I'm already gone.

52. Really? You're trying me again?

53. Does that seem like it's gonna work?

54. You answered.

55. You're right. My bad.

56. Wait, I know you don't like me, but can you at least

57. acknowledge that everything I told you was true?

58. Ahem, your point?

59. You didn't need to have your cousin make me look like

60. a crazy, jealous bitch to Dan.

61. Oh, you don't need any help with that.

62. She said I manipulated her to ruin Rufus' business dinner.

63. 'You're telling me that Innocent-Cousin Charlie'

64. 'came up with that by herself?'

65. I'm saying you probably did whatever she said you did.

66. If Charlie's fighting back, good for her. She's learning.

67. Goodbye, Vanessa.

68. - Hmm. Green. - Yellow!

69. That's O for four.

70. Okay, let's try Sour Patch Kids.

71. I thought we were gonna have breakfast.

72. Oh, this is breakfast.

73. When I was little, Sour Patch Kids were

74. pretty much my best friends.

75. Them and books.

76. Books. Oh, me too.

77. What was, uh, what was your favorite?

78. I could try to be cool

79. and make something up

80. but if I were honest..

81. "Flowers in the Attic."

82. My copy literally fell apart.

83. Really? What was it that you loved most, uh, exactly?

84. Was it the gripping tale of teen incest or just the general?

85. Fine quality of the prose?

86. Oh, my God.

87. I totally should have lied and said Fitzgerald.

88. I can tell he influences your writing.

89. Especially that story in "The New Yorker."

90. Um... was that about Serena?

91. Uh, yeah, yeah, that was back when I was on the outside

92. not getting my own personal invitation

93. to the "Constance, St. Jude's

94. black-tie alumni fund-raiser."

95. Yeah, it's, uh..

96. I wasn't gonna go

97. 'cause I wasn't exactly the most popular kid in high school

98. so why relive that, right?

99. But then I thought, uh, you know

100. maybe-maybe if you came with me, it'd be fun.

101. Yes! Are you kidding? Yes!

102. Um... Blair is having this

103. little engagement toast beforehand and she invited me.

104. I figured I-I-I should go

105. so you wanna meet me there?

106. I'd love to.

107. So..

108. Here comes the future princess.

109. Now... what does that make us, I wonder.

110. Well, as of now... nothing.

111. In choosing me, Louis gave up his succession rights.

112. Well, fortunately, we are here to throw you

113. an engagement party, so maybe we can fix that.

114. Well, while this looks delicious

115. I thought we agreed on a champagne toast.

116. Oh, of course, this..

117. is the Vitamin Water design competition

118. with the CFDA.

119. Me and Joe Zee and the Vena Cava girls

120. we are the judges, and we will be picking

121. the final T-shirt from a young designer

122. 'to complete the collection.'

123. We can be launching someone's career.

124. Well, let's keep our attention on my future, shall we?

125. I really want the princess to understand

126. that Louis can have me and his rightful title.

127. Not to worry. I happen to be an expert mediator.

128. Serena, did Lily get those dresses that I sent over?

129. You know, the maxi ones from last year's collection?

130. I'm on my way to spend the day with her, so I'll ask.

131. And be back in time for the engagement party, I hope?

132. Or not.

133. I'd actually like to be engaged when it's over.

134. Blair, I'm sorry, I sent those blasts to Louis' mother

135. but everything worked out great, so can we just enjoy it

136. and move on, please?

137. Like, much else in your life, that apology was underwhelming.

138. Good to see you, Eleanor.

139. You must be Jack.

140. Thank you for getting here so quickly.

141. It was nothing, your father and I go way back

142. which won't stop me from..

143. inviting you to have this little chat

144. someplace more comfortable..

145. At your hotel room?

146. I see the Bass family resemblance.

147. So... what's this about that

148. old building my brother burned down?

149. I just found out my mother was in it.

150. 'I didn't even know she was dead until recently.'

151. But now that I do, I want the revenge my dad never got.

152. Chuck has proof, that my mother's death

153. wasn't an accident, he's been covering it up

154. ever since he found out.

155. Well, I.. Love making my nephew suffer..

156. what, besides entertainment, is in it for me?

157. The reins of Bass Industries.

158. You know all the right things to say, don't you?

159. What the hell?

160. Nate, I'm sure you know Jack.

161. Yes, unfortunately, I do

162. but why do you?

163. I'll be in touch to discuss details.

164. Should've known you'd still be dining

165. on my nephew's leftovers.

166. You brought in Jack Bass?

167. Is that Panic's Art? That looks great.

168. Yeah. Hey, um, uh, your mom called

169. and, uh, she was concerned that you were due

170. for a refill on your medication and didn't get it.

171. Shoot, I was so excited

172. about going to the fund-raiser tonight with Dan

173. that I forgot to pick it up on my way home.

174. - I'll go right now. - I already did.

175. Uh, your mom told me that last time things went well

176. you stopped taking them.

177. And then they went from well to hell.

178. Trust me, I never want that to happen again.

179. Okay, neither do we.

180. You have nothing to worry about.

181. Unlike me who has no idea what I'm gonna wear tonight.

182. New York is always so gray, even in the spring.

183. And the angles everywhere. They are so harsh.

184. I'll be happy to be back in Monaco.

185. The Glenn Ligon, America Exhibit at the Whitney

186. is definitely worth the trip.

187. There's nothing gray or angular there

188. except the building.

189. 'I think I've had my fill'

190. of your city's ugliness for this trip.

191. Mother, please.

192. I'm sorry, for the way Chuck behaved with the royal court.

193. He's out of my life for good, and you can rest assured

194. that my family and friends are nothing like him.

195. Most of the time.

196. I suppose. I will see for myself this evening at your party.

197. And I was also thinkin' that we could go

198. to my Alma Mater's fund-raiser tonight afterwards.

199. Didn't one of Caroline's bastard children

200. go to that school?

201. 'Or was it Albert?'

202. - Blair, do you know? - Uh-uh..

203. I-I'm sorry, I just remembered

204. that I have to get my dress for tonight altered.

205. I lost weight in the whirlwind romance

206. so, um, would you mind if I took a rain check for tea?

207. Of course. We'll see you tonight.

208. - She's lying. - About losing weight?

209. I had her followed.

210. If you are going to give up the throne for this girl

211. the least she can do is give up her bad habits for you.

212. The first place she went after you asked her to marry you?

213. To see Chuck Bass.

214. Let's hope the only thing B has in common

215. with Marie Antoinette is impeccable taste

216. or she just might lose her head

217. before she gets her crown.

218. I can't believe how amazing these parties look.

219. Oh, that's the Constance St. Jude's fund-raiser.

220. It's a shame we're missing it this year since my mom can't go.

221. Actually, um..

222. Dan invited me.

223. - Oh, that's-that's great. - Are you sure?

224. You-you said that you weren't seeing him and..

225. I can call right now and cancel if you want.

226. Don't be ridiculous. Dan and I are barely even talking.

227. Um... I've never been to a black-tie affair before.

228. If only I had something to wear.

229. Your mom's been super generous

230. but I can't put a dress like that on her black card.

231. Wait. What about your trust fund?

232. You're over 18. Why haven't you gotten it yet?

233. Maybe grandma and my mom's issues

234. are worse than we thought.

235. No, I-I bet that that's not it.

236. My mom and CeCe have basically gone "Celebrity Rehab"

237. on one another, and she's never held it against me and Eric.

238. Let me call and find out.

239. You're like my fairy God cousin.

240. - I'll let you get started. - Yeah.

241. Well, look who finally came to her senses.

242. Concierge at the Empire said that you were here.

243. Louis and I are still very much engaged.

244. Then why are you here with me?

245. I'm risking my well-being

246. to tell you your Uncle Jack is in town.

247. I saw him myself this afternoon.

248. Makes sense. Are you building your way to hurt me?

249. Look, I just came to warn you so you could prepare

250. for whatever it is Jack is planning.

251. And how will I ever prepare for what you're planning?

252. I should go.

253. Can't be late for my engagement party.

254. Already so royal..

255. sensitive to the suffering of her subjects.

256. You have no idea what I've been going through since that night.

257. Chuck..

258. Just be careful.

259. Huh.

260. And all this time, I thought you hated Bart

261. because of his sunny personality.

262. I see you've spoken with my daughter.

263. And apparently you haven't.

264. Well, she's holding on to some anger

265. about this whole situation.

266. Can't say I blame her.

267. It doesn't mean I wanna do business with her.

268. Which is why you called me.

269. What Raina's proposing suits me fine.

270. It's just, your daughter's history with Chuck.

271. Nate Archibald crashing our meeting

272. looking like he just ran away from home..

273. The whole thing feels messy, juvenile.

274. I couldn't agree more.

275. What did you have in mind?

276. My nephew is at the edge of a cliff again.

277. 'Nothing turns him upside down'

278. like losing Blair Waldorf.

279. All he needs is a push..

280. and I'll have the men in lab coats waiting to catch him

281. when he falls.

282. Let me know what I can do.

283. You can start by paying for drinks

284. during which we'll discuss what else you'll be paying for.

285. Yeah, you know, there's one more thing.

286. I believe there's a box

287. Chuck is protecting in his suite.

288. I'm guessing it's where Bart kept mementos

289. letters from my wife.

290. It would mean the world to me

291. if I could have those things for myself.

292. I'll make sure you're well-compensated.

293. I'll make sure you get a key.

294. Looks like someone got their trust fund.

295. Thank you for vouching for me.

296. I got a loan from the bank of CeCe

297. until my official checkbooks arrive.

298. I've also fallen in love with Nina Ricci

299. or whoever designs her dresses.

300. Ooh, let me see.

301. Oh, shoot. It's my mom. I better get this.

302. - I'll show you later? - Of course.

303. Hi, mom. I just got the most amazing dress

304. for this fund-raiser at St. Jude's tonight with Dan.

305. Uh, with my trust fund.

306. No, no, don't be mad.

307. Everything's perfect.

308. I promise. Nothing's wrong.

309. Uh, I'll talk to you later.

310. I don't think that's what the doctor had in mind

311. when he said, "Use as directed."

312. How can you have an engagement party

313. without the prince?

314. Oh, right. He's not one anymore.

315. I invited you to attend, not to speak.

316. 'Here, try the '91.'

317. Did you know that Princess Sophie

318. is an avid ornithologist, just like me?

319. Yeah, I cannot concentrate on vintage

320. with you droning on about insects.

321. - My dear.. - Hmm.

322. Ornithology is the study of birds, not insects.

323. Oh.

324. I'm Cyrus Rose, Blair's stepfather

325. and this is my wife Eleanor.

326. Princess Sophie. Welcome to our tasteful and appropriate home.

327. Thank you.

328. Now, I'm a hugger. Hope you don't mind.

329. Oh! Uh, Princess Sophie, I apologize

330. for not greeting you properly.

331. - Où est Louis? - He said he would meet me here.

332. 'This is good work.'

333. 'I figure two weeks. Excuse me.'

334. Your Highness, you'll forgive me if I'm too busy to bow.

335. I don't appreciate the sarcasm

336. or for that matter, anything else about you.

337. Then we're equal.

338. Except, I'm not pursuing your fiancee.

339. I know Blair came here to see you.

340. Maybe your fiancee is pursuing me.

341. I highly doubt that

342. after you humiliated her in front of the royal court.

343. So why don't you tell me what's going on?

344. Shouldn't you be asking Blair that?

345. I want the truth.

346. If you can't trust Blair to tell you the truth

347. you've got bigger problems than me.

348. 'All I'll say is get used to it.'

349. Blair is nothing without her secrets.

350. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a real foe to fight.

351. What did you do to your hand?

352. It will heal with time.

353. Unlike you, who's facing a lifetime doubting Blair.

354. Hey. What are you still doing here?

355. Uh, bringing mom dinner, she's in a bidding war

356. for a vintage Birkin on eBay and can't leave the computer.

357. But don't you have Blair's engagement toast?

358. I know you both have your issues.

359. I can't force Blair to want me there.

360. Come on. It's Blair.

361. She might have trouble saying it most of the time

362. but she loves you as much as she loves anybody.

363. Of course she wants you there.

364. Hey, sorry to barge in

365. but I'm thinking about going to Blair's party after all.

366. I just wanted to check if there's a dress in my closet.

367. No problem.

368. Ah, this is terrible.

369. I can't even decide how to wear my hair.

370. Do your feet hurt after wearing heels all night?

371. And does Dan dance? Do you prefer lipstick or lip gloss?

372. Okay, breathe.

373. Lipstick lasts longer, but gloss is more fun.

374. Dan does love to dance, but he-he's terrible at it

375. so no laughing, and your feet won't hurt

376. as long as you have just the right amount of champagne.

377. Other than that, just be yourself.

378. That's what I did at cotillion and Dan and I

379. had the most magical night ever.

380. And your hair looks great down.

381. I-I can't reach Louis, and I've barely had any time

382. to bond with Princess Sophie

383. thanks to Cyrus' kibitzing.

384. She looks like she's enjoying the conversation.

385. Your stepfather is wonderful, Blair.

386. Yes, I loved him at first sight.

387. 'No, you didn't.'

388. His knowledge of birds is magnifique.

389. Perhaps I judge you too harshly after the consulate affair.

390. 'Cyrus has told me of your job at W'

391. 'and your straight A average'

392. all while dedicating yourself to Avian Welfare.

393. You would never let a duck go hungry.

394. And you do make Louis very happy.

395. You and Louis may make your first formal appearance

396. as an engaged couple this evening, if you like

397. at Constance, St. Jude.

398. Your first royal appearance.

399. I have ways of swaying the court.

400. There are certain dalliances

401. that they would rather not have exposed.

402. It feels like we're family already.

403. But what is this?

404. Oh. Oh, uh..

405. It's true, what they say about diamonds.

406. They cut not only glass but porcelain as well.

407. Oh!

408. - Did you hear the good news? - I did.

409. Let us all raise a glass

410. to the newly reinstated

411. prince and princess to be.

412. May your lives be as full of love

413. as the skies are of birds.

414. We need to talk.

415. Your attempt to destroy me will have to wait.

416. I have a meeting.

417. I'm not doing anything.

418. Except getting you the help you need.

419. Whoa, whoa.

420. Little unsteady, are we? It's okay.

421. It's understandable you'd succumb to substance abuse

422. after all you've been through..

423. a mother who scammed you for profit..

424. a stepmother who cut you out of your own company

425. and of course, the love of your life..

426. leaving you for a monarchy smaller than Manhattan.

427. You're forgetting my uncle

428. that made me choose between my legacy and the love of my life.

429. Ah, yes, Blair did jump at the chance

430. to sleep with me again, didn't she?

431. Hey! Hey! Hey! What the hell's going on? Get ahold of yourself.

432. Look who rode in on his high horse

433. to tell me I told you so.

434. I'm coming to make sure you're okay.

435. I don't need your pity! Get out of the way or get hurt!

436. First Blair, now me? You do need some help.

437. Which is why I've brought it.

438. You can't be serious.

439. After everything you've done, I'd have to be insane

440. to not want to beat the crap out of you!

441. Yeah, well, they have experts who'll decide that.

442. Now, you either go with these gentlemen

443. or I'll call the cops and file a civil suit against you.

444. I'm sorry, man. You should go. It's the only way.

445. Nathaniel, you're making a grave mistake.

446. - Don't touch the suit! - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

447. Sedate him if necessary now.

448. Oh, and I guess, you won't be needing this.

449. And remember, it only works if you work it.

450. We hear one Bass is hitting bottom.

451. Nicely played.

452. 'Feel free to take whatever you want'

453. including precious works of art.

454. Looks like the hotel

455. isn't the only Charles that needs rehab.

456. Hey. What'd I miss?

457. Oh, Cyrus charmed the princess

458. into returning Louis to the throne, but he's

459. upstairs waiting to talk, and he didn't seem happy.

460. - So I should probably go. - B.

461. I know you don't believe me, but no matter how much we fight

462. all I've ever wanted for you is-is true love.

463. I'm-I'm sorry, that it took me so long to realize that.

464. You-you deserve this.

465. Well...

466. It's not as if I haven't done my share of subversion.

467. Penelope would've gotten far too much satisfaction

468. out of being the maid of honor.

469. Spotted.. A lush headed for lockdown.

470. Let's hope this Bass can survive on dry land.

471. You okay?

472. I know I shouldn't care, but I'm worried about him.

473. Not tonight. Go be a princess.

474. Rehab is probably the safest place for Chuck

475. and your engagement.

476. - Hey, you came. - So did you.

477. I mean, that's-that's alright, right? We're good?

478. Yeah. I mean, Blair's getting engaged

479. and-and you're taking Charlie to her first black-tie event.

480. So seems everyone's moving on.

481. Thank you.

482. Oh, I'm sorry, it took me so long.

483. But now, we can finally celebrate you getting back

484. your rightful place in your family and the country.

485. Blair, I know you saw Chuck.

486. Well, I..

487. I wanted him to hear about our engagement from me.

488. Twice?

489. And I had to warn him that his evil uncle was in town.

490. All of which sounds very noble. So why didn't you tell me?

491. You-you know we have a history

492. so... I was worried that..

493. you'd think it meant more than it did.

494. I saw him before I came here.

495. If he told you something happened, he's lying.

496. He's just trying to get you to leave me.

497. I saw his hand.

498. It's not the ring that cut your face.

499. Blair, how can you lie to protect someone who hurt you?

500. Well, since, I'm not seeing him again

501. there's no reason to embarrass him.

502. I think you're the one who's embarrassed.

503. You have your own dark side.

504. I understand if you want to end it.

505. It's very unbecoming of a princess.

506. I want you, Blair.

507. But the only way it will work

508. is if you show me all of the parts of yourself..

509. even the ones you're ashamed of.

510. Maybe if we don't talk about them

511. they'll just go away.

512. I hope you'll join me at this party to make your formal debut.

513. If you're not ready to share your life, all of it..

514. don't show up.

515. I'll leave with my mother tonight.

516. Hey, I'm-I'm worried about Charlie.

517. She should be here by now.

518. Forget I asked.

519. 'Take your coat?'

520. That's my dress.

521. 'Gentlemen.'

522. What the hell is going on?

523. Divine intervention. If you consider Satan divine.

524. - You did get in one good punch. - It was a long time coming.

525. He was the one who reached out to me to help.

526. You see, as much as I love to screw with my nephew

527. your using me to do it, just didn't sit right.

528. So on that tape you just put in your jacket pocket..

529. I mean, I knew, you didn't just want to read

530. your cheating wife's love letters.

531. All that was in that box was evidence against my father.

532. Even if he went to the authorities

533. the implications are limited on a dead man.

534. So we played follow the leader.

535. Unless you're into arson porn, there's obviously

536. something else of interest on that tape.

537. Bart murdered my wife.

538. I can take my story to the press.

539. First, you'll stay for the viewing.

540. The timecode is after my father left the building.

541. You're the one who locked the doors.

542. 'My father didn't set the fire that killed your wife.'

543. You did.

544. Hey, you look great. You want to, uh..

545. You wanna grab a drink before we go?

546. Ahem, you should have asked me

547. if you wanted to wear my cotillion dress.

548. I-I mean, you can borrow anything you want

549. but-but you do need to say something.

550. This isn't your dress. I got this at Nina Ricci, remember?

551. You do have a lot of dresses, Serena.

552. Pamela Dennis made it especially for me, I think I would know

553. and so should you, since you were my date.

554. Uh, I bought this myself. I wouldn't steal from you.

555. Oh, okay, then let's see the label.

556. Well, it's in your mom's garbage.

557. It was jabbing me in the back, I mean, I think I still have

558. the red mark if you wanna see that.

559. No, no, whoa, whoa. Stop, stop, stop. Come on.

560. There are a million gold dresses.

561. Yeah, but there's only one with a Pamela Dennis label cut out.

562. Take it off.

563. This is obviously a misunderstanding.

564. Why are you defending her?

565. You are not leaving here in that.

566. If you didn't want me to go to the party with Dan

567. you didn't have to humiliate me.

568. Okay, Charlie, this has nothing to do with Dan.

569. Good. Then you won't mind if we leave together... now.

570. You know, I was trying to take it slow with Charlie

571. because I value our friendship so much, but..

572. Can we just call the cops?

573. I'm hungry, and all you seem to have

574. are olives and hallucinogenic mushrooms.

575. You have to believe me.

576. It was an accident.

577. Bart and I were partners.

578. I had proof, that he was planning the fire

579. so when I found out he was sleeping with Avery

580. it was the perfect setup.

581. I was trying to keep my family together.

582. By killing the mother of your child?

583. I swear to you, I thought it was Bart in that building.

584. 'I knew no matter what I said'

585. he would never let Avery go.

586. It sounds crazy, but... I still loved her.

587. And she loved you?

588. I read the letter she wrote to my father ending things.

589. That letter was for me.

590. Bart called and said we needed to talk

591. that I should meet him at the building.

592. That was when I decided that he wouldn't be leaving.

593. That's what Avery and my father

594. were arguing about on the tape?

595. She wanted to tell you in person she loved him.

596. Unless we're close to the end of this sob story

597. I'm gonna order room service, okay?

598. Your father and I made an agreement.

599. I would keep the proof

600. of his involvement in the fire a secret.

601. I would give him the company, the insurance money

602. and go back to Chicago.

603. And he would say that he was responsible for the accident.

604. He always felt guilty about Avery being there.

605. I can't choose my entree with hallmark hall of fame

606. playing in the background, I'm calling the cops.

607. Please.

608. I'll pay.

609. I'll give you Thorpe enterprises anything you want.

610. But I can't let Raina find out what I did.

611. I'll give you the same deal he did.

612. Oh, hey, girls, can we at least

613. get my plane fare home out of this?

614. Get out of New York and never come back.

615. Thank you.

616. If Raina ever found out, I don't know what I'd do.

617. Blintz?

618. No, thank you. I've lost my appetite.

619. Well, how is that possible?

620. You're returning to your Alma mater

621. as the princess bride-to-be.

622. You and Louis are practically giddy about each other.

623. Not when he finds out who I really am.

624. You mean a brilliant and beautiful and..

625. remarkably strong for her stature young woman?

626. You may not be aware of this

627. but it's not all light and bright in here.

628. There are some places devoid of even a hint of sparkle.

629. Louis will love those too, one would hope.

630. Chuck was the only one who ever did.

631. But he couldn't see the rest.

632. Louis says he wants it all

633. but, uh, what kind of a princess schemes

634. and plays sex games

635. and dreams herself into old Hollywood movies?

636. Well, uh, pretending as your stepfather

637. that I didn't hear the sex games part

638. the truth is..

639. the only way that you're gonna know

640. if Louis is the one is to tell him everything.

641. But what if he doesn't love me after I do?

642. Take it from someone who is head over heels

643. for a Waldorf woman.

644. Even everything is not enough.

645. - Hey. - You're late.

646. I know. I'm sorry. Something came up.

647. It was really important, but not that late. What's wrong?

648. Jack Bass called. He's backing out of the whole plan.

649. Says he just used me for the free flight.

650. Well, that's Jack for you.

651. I told you he couldn't be trusted.

652. Really? We're talking about my payback for my mother's death.

653. And you're I told you so-ing me?

654. Raina, punishing Chuck's not gonna bring your mom back.

655. Chuck knew Bart murdered my mother, and he sat there

656. and watched me get my hopes up about that waitress

657. and he tried to ruin my relationship with my father.

658. He should pay for that.

659. Okay, I know you're upset

660. but you have to trust me on this.

661. Chuck didn't do anything wrong.

662. First Jack, now you? What the hell's going on, Nate?

663. I just think you've been through enough pain

664. without digging up more.

665. I am not stopping until

666. Chuck feels as bad as I do.

667. Chuck's father didn't kill your mother.

668. Yours did.

669. 'You gotta take that?'

670. Um... no.

671. They say love is the best medicine

672. that is, unless you don't take it.

673. Dad was a nasty son of a bitch

674. but I never thought for a second he'd actually gone OJ.

675. Well, thank you for using your evil powers for good this time.

676. Ah, it was selfish, really.

677. I didn't want anyone else playing with my punching bag.

678. Dysfunction is best kept in the family. It's true.

679. Plus what would I want with a company

680. someone else owns half of?

681. Or a building in Brooklyn?

682. Now, if you still had Blair..

683. things might be different.

684. On that note..

685. I'm going to cut this reunion short

686. and try to find her before the nice guy actually wins.

687. I'm counting on you..

688. not to defile the Bass name

689. and lose her to a family of titled circus performers.

690. 'I know what you did, dad.'

691. Honey, what are you talking about?

692. You're the reason my mother is dead.

693. Did, uh, Chuck Bass tell you that?

694. He's lying.

695. 'He's trying to cover his own guilt.'

696. Why don't I come and take you to dinner

697. and, uh, we can talk about it?

698. Don't come near me.

699. The only one lying is you, my whole life.

700. Raina... please.

701. You're as dead to me as my mother is.

702. Thanks for coming.

703. I couldn't resist finding out what you think

704. we have in common but unless it includes

705. an apology, I'm not staying.

706. You accused me of getting Charlie to turn Dan against you.

707. Well, she just did the same thing to me.

708. You think Blair's behind it?

709. I mean, Dan's a good kisser, but that good?

710. It's Waldorf-level scheming

711. but Blair's in love with her prince.

712. This was all Charlie.

713. Hey, Serena and... Vanessa?

714. I'm not even gonna ask

715. what the two of you are doing together

716. but have either of you seen Charlie?

717. I don't know why being back here makes me feel

718. like I'm on the outside again. Oh.

719. Oh, you know why? 'Cause you're the only one talking to me.

720. What's up, Kati? Is? Nice to see you girls back together again.

721. Still dressing alike.

722. - Do you hear something? - No, nothing.

723. Huh.

724. Come on. You must have had some fun in high school.

725. Hmm, not in actual school, no.

726. So you never did anything crazy

727. like... blow up a toilet or spray paint lockers

728. or... try to get some behind the bleachers?

729. No, I was pretty much the anti-crazy.

730. Huh.

731. We're gonna have to fix that.

732. You know, I was in here once after a swimming pool incident.

733. It was not the good kind of crazy.

734. Whoa... that kind is better.

735. You shouldn't leave high school without doing it on a desk.

736. You call me Serena.

737. What?

738. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

739. Wait-wait-wait a second. Wait a second.

740. I think maybe this is not a great idea.

741. Queller is not known for her sense of humor, and..

742. um..

743. Why don't you get dressed?

744. And I'll meet you outside.

745. Oh, have you seen a prince?

746. Yes, I am engaged to him and you should be green with envy

747. but I don't have time to make you wallow in it

748. because I have to take this call.

749. - 'Hello?' - What?

750. Of course.

751. I'll be there as soon as I can.

752. Serena's cousin. Thank God.

753. Uh, I just got a call that Chuck needs me.

754. When Louis arrives will you tell him that I was here

755. and that I'll be back?

756. Whatever you do, don't let him leave.

757. A dream is just a dream, or is it?

758. 'So when you say Charlie went off her medication'

759. you don't mean because the doctors told her to?

760. No, her mother said it happened once before

761. last time she was happy.

762. Ended pretty badly.

763. A place where fantasy and reality collide.

764. Chuck Bass.

765. What a disappointment.

766. I was rooting for you.

767. Have you seen the real Blair?

768. Don't you read "Gossip Girl?"

769. You lost her to the prince.

770. Not yet, I haven't.

771. I told you he wouldn't let her get away.

772. Everything you ever wanted

773. seems possible.

774. Oh! Excuse me, sir.

775. Uh, someone called me from the building

776. and-and told me that Chuck Bass was up here.

777. He was threatening to jump and asking for me.

778. I'm Blair Waldorf.

779. Until you realize

780. the nightmare's just beginning.

781. XOXO.

782. Gossip Girl.
