1. Gossip Girl here,
your one and only source
Copy !req
2. into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.
Copy !req
3. Time to pass
the Gossip Girl baton.
Copy !req
4. Let someone else see
if they could outshine me.
Copy !req
5. "Welcome to your future
as Gossip Girl 3.0.
Copy !req
6. The power is now
in your hands."
Copy !req
7. So I guess we're cousins.
Copy !req
8. Up until 10 minutes ago,
I didn't know I had a family.
Copy !req
9. Please tell me we have
an offer that'll at least
Copy !req
10. keep "The Spectator" afloat.
Copy !req
11. Yes, I do know Diana Payne.
Copy !req
12. You're covering for who
really gave me the blood.
Copy !req
13. Elizabeth. She didn't
want you to know.
Copy !req
14. Remember the woman
with the locket
Copy !req
15. I had you look for
couple of years ago?
Copy !req
16. Yeah, my mother.
I need to find her again.
Copy !req
17. As for the rest of my estate,
I leave to you, Ivy Dickens.
Copy !req
18. I think it'd be
best if you left.
Copy !req
19. I was just gonna say
the same thing.
Copy !req
20. This is my apartment now.
Copy !req
21. You don't have a case.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Copy !req
22. The court will decide that.
Copy !req
23. In the meantime, your
assets will be frozen.
Copy !req
24. I told Chuck he doesn't
have my heart anymore.
Copy !req
25. I realized it belongs
to someone else.
Copy !req
26. If she defaults on the marriage,
the dowry can be reinstated.
Copy !req
27. I have a way that your
family doesn't have to pay
Copy !req
28. the Grimaldis a thing and you
get your divorce in the process.
Copy !req
29. Fine.
Copy !req
30. Where has she been, Serena?
Copy !req
31. And who am I?
Copy !req
32. That's a secret
I'll never tell.
Copy !req
33. You know you love me.
Copy !req
34. XOXO, Gossip Girl.
Copy !req
35. Every once in a while
Copy !req
36. a life-changing event
will arrive
Copy !req
37. with fanfare and excitement.
Copy !req
38. Miss Blair, package
from legal firm
Copy !req
39. of Kier, Grandineti and Booth.
Copy !req
40. Divorce papers!
Oh, sweet legal freedom!
Copy !req
41. Thank God. I thought Louis
was gonna this drag on forever.
Copy !req
42. Georgina move fast.
Copy !req
43. What do you think
she do to make happen?
Copy !req
44. It's best we
don't think, Dorota.
Copy !req
45. Georgina went black ops
on this one and
Copy !req
46. while I'm sure eventually
I'm gonna pay a price
Copy !req
47. for my plausible deniability
Copy !req
48. right now I'm just gonna
Copy !req
49. enjoy the bliss of ignorance.
Copy !req
50. Which means I can stop
avoiding them and call Dan.
Copy !req
51. Ha! Now we can date outside
the confines of the 718.
Copy !req
52. We can walk down
Madison Avenue, hand-in-hand
Copy !req
53. without havin' to worry about
Louis changing his mind.
Copy !req
54. Mm-mm.
Copy !req
55. In my experience, most
turning points in our lives
Copy !req
56. don't announce themselves.
Copy !req
57. If anything, they tend
to creep up quietly
Copy !req
58. when we're
least expecting them.
Copy !req
59. And force us to make a decision
Copy !req
60. that isn't so easy.
Copy !req
61. Any word from Jack
or Andrew Tyler yet?
Copy !req
62. Jack's not returning my calls
and it's been a week.
Copy !req
63. And Andrew still hasn't been
able to track down Elizabeth.
Copy !req
64. So now that you know
she's your mother for sure
Copy !req
65. you think you, uh, want
a relationship with her?
Copy !req
66. Haven't decided yet.
Copy !req
67. and since she's MIA,
I don't have to.
Copy !req
68. So in the meantime,
I'm gonna head down to the spa
Copy !req
69. and meet Mandy and Michaela
Copy !req
70. from Hospitality
and catch a steam.
Copy !req
71. Coming?
Copy !req
72. Gotta get to the office.
Copy !req
73. Diana's finally making
an appearance today.
Copy !req
74. Ah, the two of you running
"The Spectator" again.
Copy !req
75. Ready for combat?
Copy !req
76. No reason to think we'll have
anything to fight about.
Copy !req
77. She's an investor.
I'm still Editor-in-Chief.
Copy !req
78. Not worried about it.
Copy !req
79. I told myself the same thing
Copy !req
80. before my night
with the Australian
Copy !req
81. women's softball team.
Copy !req
82. Then ended up
with a fractured rib
Copy !req
83. and a tattoo of a kangaroo that
Copy !req
84. I didn't know
I had for a month.
Copy !req
85. Heh, alright, listen,
Diana and I may have ended
Copy !req
86. things badly on a personal level
Copy !req
87. but, professionally, we always
worked well together, man.
Copy !req
88. And what does Lola
think about you
Copy !req
89. working with your ex?
Copy !req
90. I don't know, I haven't,
uh, exactly told her
Copy !req
91. about my past with Diana.
Copy !req
92. 'How could she not know?'
Copy !req
93. I mean, you were all over
Gossip Girl and "Page Six."
Copy !req
94. No, Lola has no interest in the
Upper East Side social scene.
Copy !req
95. 'But even if she did
what Diana and I used to be'
Copy !req
96. to each other
doesn't matter anymore.
Copy !req
97. 'Maybe not to you, but why
else would Diana be back?'
Copy !req
98. Can't be for
her love of journalism.
Copy !req
99. Well, I don't know
about that, but once I get
Copy !req
100. the lay of the land with Diana
Copy !req
101. I'll tell Lola everything.
Copy !req
102. You sound like you've
got it allfigured it out.
Copy !req
103. Just don't be surprised
if you end up
Copy !req
104. with an angry ex-girlfriend
and a tattoo of a kangaroo.
Copy !req
105. Hey, congratulations.
Copy !req
106. 'Dorota told me it's
your first official day'
Copy !req
107. 'as a single woman.'
Copy !req
108. It's true, I'm finally freed of
Copy !req
109. the shackles of royal matrimony
Copy !req
110. and Louis' horrible family.
Copy !req
111. Well, now that
you're ready to rejoin
Copy !req
112. the civilian population,
how do you plan
Copy !req
113. to spend your first day
as plain Blair Waldorf?
Copy !req
114. Oh, sure, yeah... with Dan, I'm..
Copy !req
115. Look, I know it hasn't been
easy, but I am happy for you.
Copy !req
116. 'Oh.'
Copy !req
117. Of course.
Copy !req
118. A Gossip Girl blast about
my divorce coming through.
Copy !req
119. How does she know
everything so fast?
Copy !req
120. She, probably,
has someone staked out
Copy !req
121. in front of the building.
Copy !req
122. You know what's strange, ever
since the real Gossip Girl's
Copy !req
123. been back, I've
barely been mentioned.
Copy !req
124. I just.. Ugh! I wish that there
Copy !req
125. was a way to stay off
her radar forever.
Copy !req
126. Oh, please. It is your
destiny to be Gossip-worthy.
Copy !req
127. What? Tonight you are modeling
Copy !req
128. a line of lingerie
named after you
Copy !req
129. at Kiki de Montparnasse.
Copy !req
130. Gossip Girl won't be
able to resist.
Copy !req
131. You're always her
number one target.
Copy !req
132. You don't have
any brilliant ideas how to
Copy !req
133. push me off the top of her list?
Copy !req
134. Oh, you really want out?
Copy !req
135. I'm just... I'm ready
to move on with my life.
Copy !req
136. And I can't do that
with Gossip Girl
Copy !req
137. tracking my every move.
Copy !req
138. What? You need
to replace yourself.
Copy !req
139. Find a new Serena.
Copy !req
140. Use your influence
to anoint her the new "It Girl."
Copy !req
141. Retain control, but stay out
of the spotlight yourself.
Copy !req
142. Okay, well, where do I start?
Copy !req
143. At the beginning, of course,
with a defining moment.
Copy !req
144. I mean, you didn't really
become Serena van der Woodsen
Copy !req
145. until you got naked
on that aircraft carrier.
Copy !req
146. Uh, you don't need
to make it sound like a porno.
Copy !req
147. We were on a school trip
and I wasn't naked
Copy !req
148. I was wearing a dress.
Copy !req
149. A white, wet dress.
Copy !req
150. A photo landed
on Gossip Girl and that was it.
Copy !req
151. It's gonna take
a moment like that to
Copy !req
152. create the next
Serena van der Woodsen.
Copy !req
153. Okay, what about you?
Copy !req
154. Now that you're saying goodbye
to being a princess
Copy !req
155. does that mean
you're ready to reclaim
Copy !req
156. your crown as Queen B?
Copy !req
157. So if it's your
mom's sister's family
Copy !req
158. that means you gained
what an aunt, an uncle?
Copy !req
159. Yeah, heh, and two cousins.
Copy !req
160. Eric and Serena.
Copy !req
161. Actually, I'd kind of
like to get to know
Copy !req
162. Serena a little bit better,
but a whole family
Copy !req
163. overnight is kind of a lot.
Copy !req
164. You can't get to know her
unless you spend time together.
Copy !req
165. Well, so, what,
I just call her up
Copy !req
166. and say "Hey, we're related.
Let's hang out?"
Copy !req
167. That's so random.
Copy !req
168. Well, your mom really screwed
you up, didn't she?
Copy !req
169. 'Nate? What are you doing here?'
Copy !req
170. Hey. I'm just
on my way to work.
Copy !req
171. Nate, this is my friend Aiden
from back home.
Copy !req
172. We went to acting camp together.
Copy !req
173. He's here checking out
Juilliard.
Copy !req
174. Um, I'm gonna grab a paper
Copy !req
175. I wanna check out the reviews
for "Peter and the Starcatcher."
Copy !req
176. Okay.
Copy !req
177. Ahh, well, uh, you've never
mentioned him before.
Copy !req
178. Do I sense a little jealousy?
Copy !req
179. No, Aiden is just
a friend and besides
Copy !req
180. he's not my type... you are.
Copy !req
181. - Wanna play hooky with us?
- Ah, I would, but I can't.
Copy !req
182. I got that new investor comin'
in, I gotta go meet with her.
Copy !req
183. Oh, that's right.
What's her name, Diana Payne?
Copy !req
184. What do you know about her?
Copy !req
185. Uh, well, I know
she doesn't like it when
Copy !req
186. people are late, so I
gotta run, see you guys later.
Copy !req
187. That was weird, wasn't it?
Copy !req
188. I mean, I mentioned that woman
and he just took off.
Copy !req
189. What are you doing?
Copy !req
190. Uh, there's this site
called Gossip Girl.
Copy !req
191. 'I'm just gonna see if there's'
Copy !req
192. 'anything about her on there.'
Copy !req
193. Wow, she is hot.
Copy !req
194. So after that, we have
a Cindy Sherman exhibit
Copy !req
195. we can check out
at the MoMA and then
Copy !req
196. tonight, there's
a new restaurant that opened.
Copy !req
197. Uh, I'm sorry, Dan,
Cindy Sherman
Copy !req
198. and her unflattering
self-portraits aside
Copy !req
199. it sounds like you
planned a perfect day
Copy !req
200. but it's going to have to wait.
Copy !req
201. Well, the royal seal is missing
on my divorce papers and I don't
Copy !req
202. wanna let Louis get me
on a technicality.
Copy !req
203. Uh, well, if it's
something that small
Copy !req
204. then maybe it
could be resolved today?
Copy !req
205. Oh, I'm sure Louis' lawyers
are gone for the day.
Copy !req
206. The Monegasque work
very short hours.
Copy !req
207. Okay, well, I wanna spend
the day with you
Copy !req
208. so maybe we could hang out here?
Copy !req
209. Well, uh, Serena's around.
Copy !req
210. We, we shouldn't rub it
in her face.
Copy !req
211. I'll call you later.
Copy !req
212. Song lyrics.
Copy !req
213. Vanya and-and I love karaoke.
Copy !req
214. Dorota, while your reputation
for loyalty is unassailable
Copy !req
215. you and I know both know
something is going on here
Copy !req
216. so why don't you just
leave the song lyrics on
Copy !req
217. the table and step out of
the room for a moment.
Copy !req
218. You won't see a thing.
Copy !req
219. Only because I worry.
Copy !req
220. Sometimes, even
the best-laidplans fall apart.
Copy !req
221. - 'How's that?'
- Excellent.
Copy !req
222. Just get the right
hand sidedown a bit.
Copy !req
223. Hello, darling. Did you miss me?
Copy !req
224. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
225. You didn't really think
you'd get to keep
Copy !req
226. your office, did you?
Copy !req
227. Don't worry. You're
gonna love your new cubicle.
Copy !req
228. Or you hit a wall when
you were expecting a door.
Copy !req
229. - Hey.
- Hey, Lola, what's up?
Copy !req
230. I just found out that
the new investor in
Copy !req
231. "The Spectator" is Diana Payne.
Copy !req
232. Nate's ex-girlfriend.
Copy !req
233. 'He totally lied
to me about her.'
Copy !req
234. I don't know what to do,
I really like him.
Copy !req
235. But every now and then,
you get lucky
Copy !req
236. and the universe
delivers the perfect solution.
Copy !req
237. You know what? Um, I'm actually
really glad you came to me.
Copy !req
238. Because I know
exactly what to do.
Copy !req
239. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
240. Get ready, Lola,
because whatever Serena wants
Copy !req
241. Lola's gonna get.
Copy !req
242. Just get out
of my office, please.
Copy !req
243. I'm an investor in
this paper, which I think
Copy !req
244. entitles me to an office.
Copy !req
245. And I choose this one.
Copy !req
246. No, being an investor means you
don't actually need to be here.
Copy !req
247. You're not even
majority shareholder
Copy !req
248. and it's my name
on the masthead.
Copy !req
249. Not for long, do you think
Copy !req
250. advertisers
are really gonna wanna do
Copy !req
251. business with a kid
now that I'm back?
Copy !req
252. Well, they haven't had
a problem with it so far.
Copy !req
253. Oh, please.
Copy !req
254. I've done the research, my love.
Copy !req
255. Advertising is down.
Copy !req
256. You never did understand
that sex sells.
Copy !req
257. Fortunately, I do.
Copy !req
258. Which is why I'm co-hosting
Copy !req
259. the
"Down to Your Skivvies" party
Copy !req
260. tonight at Kiki de Montparnasse.
Copy !req
261. After tonight, everyone's gonna
be talking about how I'm back
Copy !req
262. and your days are numbered.
Copy !req
263. Heh. You can't sponsor
a "Spectator" party without me.
Copy !req
264. I'm not. I'm doing it on my own.
Copy !req
265. If you're inviting advertisers
Copy !req
266. everyone's gonna think
it's related to the paper
Copy !req
267. and I'll be there.
Copy !req
268. Fine. If you insist.
Copy !req
269. I'm assuming no plus-one?
Copy !req
270. Oh, I'll be bringing
my girlfriend, Lola.
Copy !req
271. No problem.
Copy !req
272. Enjoy your last day in here.
Copy !req
273. So what do you say
we get out of here
Copy !req
274. go have a nice lunch at Daniel
and go shopping at Barneys?
Copy !req
275. Actually, I just came
back from the city.
Copy !req
276. - Ooh.
- I, uh, went to see Ivy.
Copy !req
277. And I asked her if
she would be willing
Copy !req
278. to move out of the apartment
if we unfroze the assets.
Copy !req
279. What?
Copy !req
280. We do not negotiate
with terrorists
Copy !req
281. especially ones from Florida.
Copy !req
282. And you do not have the right
to speak on my behalf.
Copy !req
283. I know and I, I didn't
agree to anything.
Copy !req
284. But, sweetie, Ivy did.
Copy !req
285. She offered to pack up and leave
Copy !req
286. just as soon as
you call your lawyers.
Copy !req
287. We could have you back
in the apartment
Copy !req
288. by the end of the day.
Copy !req
289. That is such a wonderful thing
to do for me.
Copy !req
290. But unfreezing the assets
means letting Ivy have
Copy !req
291. my mother's money.
Copy !req
292. I don't think
I can live with that.
Copy !req
293. You have enough money
for generations of Rhodes
Copy !req
294. to live comfortably.
Copy !req
295. Well..
Copy !req
296. Does that exhale mean
that you'll call the lawyer
Copy !req
297. and unfreeze the assets?
Copy !req
298. Yes, fine.
Copy !req
299. - You're right.
- Good.
Copy !req
300. So I'll start packing
Copy !req
301. and then we'll go celebrate.
Copy !req
302. Your mother's been in Vienna
for the past six months.
Copy !req
303. I have an address
and mobile number, but I
Copy !req
304. haven't made contact yet.
Copy !req
305. How do you want me to proceed?
Copy !req
306. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
307. The fact that she
was harder to find
Copy !req
308. than a fugitive
isn't lost on me.
Copy !req
309. Clearly, the woman
doesn't wanna be found.
Copy !req
310. I don't know that
I can advise you, Chuck.
Copy !req
311. At this point, maybe
you need a friend
Copy !req
312. more than you need
a private investigator.
Copy !req
313. Is there anyone in your life
who got to know Elizabeth
Copy !req
314. the last time she was here?
Copy !req
315. Maybe you wanna talk to them.
Copy !req
316. Figure out what it is you
really want and what to expect
Copy !req
317. before you pursue
this any further.
Copy !req
318. The one person who was there
the whole way through
Copy !req
319. is the one person
that's not in my life anymore.
Copy !req
320. Blair Waldorf.
Copy !req
321. Then why did you pay her dowry?
Copy !req
322. She doesn't know I did it.
Copy !req
323. I-I don't want her
to find out ever.
Copy !req
324. Okay.
Copy !req
325. But even if that is the case
Copy !req
326. does that mean
you can't talk to her?
Copy !req
327. Thank you so much,
Tracy. It's perfect.
Copy !req
328. Oh, great, we're excited you'll
Copy !req
329. be modeling
"The Serena" tonight.
Copy !req
330. Feel free to browse
and if you see
Copy !req
331. anything you like,
just let me know.
Copy !req
332. Okay.
Copy !req
333. 'So am I totally overreacting?'
Copy !req
334. About Nate, I mean.
Copy !req
335. Oh, and that looked
amazing on you.
Copy !req
336. Oh, thank you, uh, look, Nate is
Copy !req
337. a great guy,
but Diana is aggressive
Copy !req
338. and I don't know why she's
back, but it's safe to say
Copy !req
339. it has something to do with him.
Copy !req
340. Well, I'm not interested
in competing with someone else.
Copy !req
341. Well, it's not about competing.
Copy !req
342. Even if there was
no Diana, your whole
Copy !req
343. not-wanting-to-be
- a-part-of-his-world thing
Copy !req
344. is not a good idea.
Copy !req
345. I mean, he's your boyfriend.
Copy !req
346. Part of being in
a relationship is sharing
Copy !req
347. each other's interests.
Copy !req
348. 'I do.'
Copy !req
349. Everything but parties
Copy !req
350. and the Upper East Side
social order.
Copy !req
351. Okay, well, like it
or not, that's a big part
Copy !req
352. of his life and work.
Copy !req
353. 'And if you don't start
meeting him halfway'
Copy !req
354. you leave room for
someone who will.
Copy !req
355. Like Diana.
Copy !req
356. So what, what do I do?
Copy !req
357. Try this on.
Copy !req
358. Uhh! It's gorgeous,
but I couldn't.
Copy !req
359. Wow! Especially
because it costs more
Copy !req
360. than a semester at Juilliard.
Copy !req
361. Not for us, it doesn't.
Copy !req
362. You heard Tracy.
She said it's on them.
Copy !req
363. Come on. It's one of the many
perks of being an "It Girl."
Copy !req
364. 'Go on. Heh.'
Copy !req
365. Come on. We need
to get out of here.
Copy !req
366. Blair has the papers,
but she hasn't signed them.
Copy !req
367. Now that us as
a couple is a reality
Copy !req
368. maybe it's freakin' her out.
Copy !req
369. Yeah, I think
you're just kind of
Copy !req
370. Humphrey-ing out here, man.
Copy !req
371. Oh. The Editor-in-Chief
is chitchatting
Copy !req
372. with his bro instead of working.
Copy !req
373. And you wonder why the paper
isn't doing so well.
Copy !req
374. 'The most recent numbers.'
Copy !req
375. Dismal.
Copy !req
376. Seriously, Diana is the only
investor you could find?
Copy !req
377. Yeah, well, Chuck was
gonna step in
Copy !req
378. but the timing was off
Copy !req
379. and, uh, he wasn't
liquid enough.
Copy !req
380. Chuck Bass wasn't liquid?
How is that possible?
Copy !req
381. I shouldn't have
even brought it up.
Copy !req
382. Why? Does, uh, does this
have to do with Blair?
Copy !req
383. Oh, Nate, if Chuck did
something, you gotta tell me.
Copy !req
384. It was nothing bad,
in fact, it's good.
Copy !req
385. I don't know why Chuck
insists on keeping it quiet.
Copy !req
386. Well, if it's good,
then what's the big deal, Nate?
Copy !req
387. You, ah, you know what
I'm up against here, come on.
Copy !req
388. Alright, fine, but you
didn't hear it from me. Okay?
Copy !req
389. Chuck didn't have
the money because
Copy !req
390. he paid off Blair's dowry.
Copy !req
391. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
392. That's why she didn't
sign the papers.
Copy !req
393. She must have found out, now,
she's having second thoughts.
Copy !req
394. Oh, he was just tryin'
to do a nice thing for Blair.
Copy !req
395. Come on, you
really believe that?
Copy !req
396. This is Chuck we're
talkin' about.
Copy !req
397. I gotta go.
Copy !req
398. Why you lie to Mr. Dan
about signing the papers?
Copy !req
399. Sneak up on me like that again
and I'm gonna start making you
Copy !req
400. wear a bell.
Copy !req
401. - I want answer.
- Divorce is a private matter.
Copy !req
402. You'll see for yourself someday,
now if you wanna make
Copy !req
403. yourself useful,
call the car around.
Copy !req
404. Only if you tell me why you
don't sign the papers.
Copy !req
405. Otherwise you take taxi.
Copy !req
406. I'm going to do it.
Copy !req
407. I just need a little more time.
Copy !req
408. For what?
Copy !req
409. Uh! It-it makes no sense
Copy !req
410. but I feel like once
I sign those papers
Copy !req
411. I'm closing the door
on something that
Copy !req
412. I'm not quite ready
to let go of.
Copy !req
413. Marriage to Louis?
Copy !req
414. No.
Copy !req
415. Then what?
Copy !req
416. 'Oh, my God.'
Copy !req
417. So the entire Upper East Side
is seeing
Copy !req
418. this photo of me right now?
Copy !req
419. Well, not just
the Upper East Side.
Copy !req
420. 'It is the Internet.'
Copy !req
421. But, hey, this is
exactly what we wanted.
Copy !req
422. Between that photo and the news
Copy !req
423. that you're
the real Charlie Rhodes
Copy !req
424. everyone will
be talking about you.
Copy !req
425. Yeah, about how I'm
an exhibitionist
Copy !req
426. with a freak for a mom.
Copy !req
427. Oh, I just got
an e-mail from Tracy
Copy !req
428. at Kiki de Montparnasse.
Copy !req
429. She wants you to model
at the party tonight.
Copy !req
430. No. No, no. That's
not gonna happen.
Copy !req
431. Oh, come on, what better way
to show Nate you're willing
Copy !req
432. to make more of an effort
and, not to mention
Copy !req
433. Diana is one of
the party sponsors.
Copy !req
434. You think Nate's
gonna be going to this?
Copy !req
435. Of course he will.
Copy !req
436. I shouldn't jump
to any conclusions.
Copy !req
437. I should probably just go
talk to him myself.
Copy !req
438. - I'll let you know, okay?
- Um, yeah, sure.
Copy !req
439. Lola, I don't, I don't
wanna freak you out
Copy !req
440. but, um, you may want to
check Gossip Girl again.
Copy !req
441. Word is that Diana
and Nate are going to
Copy !req
442. tonight's "Down to Your
Skivvies" party together.
Copy !req
443. Guess their relationship just
went from business to pleasure.
Copy !req
444. I thought that I moved on,
that this whole business
Copy !req
445. with my mother was in the past.
Copy !req
446. I could live
with the uncertainty because
Copy !req
447. the woman I met, I didn't care
if she was my mother or not.
Copy !req
448. Then I found out she did this
extraordinary thing for me.
Copy !req
449. Is it wrong to think
that changes things?
Copy !req
450. No, of course not.
Copy !req
451. But... what I don't understand is
Copy !req
452. what you want from me.
Copy !req
453. Just someone
to talk to, I guess.
Copy !req
454. Someone who'll understand,
you, you met her.
Copy !req
455. You know what I went through.
Copy !req
456. Is it worth it to try
and reach out again?
Copy !req
457. I don't know, Chuck.
Copy !req
458. But I'm not sure
I'm the one to ask.
Copy !req
459. Why? Because of Humphrey?
Copy !req
460. Blair, I'm not trying
to work an angle here.
Copy !req
461. I'm simply coming
to you as a friend.
Copy !req
462. No, you're not.
Copy !req
463. You're working right
back into my life
Copy !req
464. and you're using
your mother to do it.
Copy !req
465. I'm sorry if I
sound harsh, but we
Copy !req
466. both know we've never
been good as friends.
Copy !req
467. There's always been an agenda.
Copy !req
468. Am I wrong?
Copy !req
469. No, you're not wrong.
Copy !req
470. Chuck, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
471. Thought I was coming
to see a friend for advice.
Copy !req
472. Apparently, I made a mistake.
Copy !req
473. Well, what's going on?
Copy !req
474. You know how I got that blood
transfusion at the hospital?
Copy !req
475. It was Elizabeth.
Copy !req
476. Apparently, she is
my mother, but she's pulled
Copy !req
477. a disappearing act.
Copy !req
478. I'm trying to decide
whether it's worth it
Copy !req
479. to track her down.
Copy !req
480. Try and build
a relationship.
Copy !req
481. Well, if you're asking
me, I'd say do it.
Copy !req
482. I mean, I know it's scary,
but when it comes to
Copy !req
483. reconnecting with family, it's
Copy !req
484. it's worth the risk.
Copy !req
485. Thanks.
Copy !req
486. I'm telling you, it's not true.
Copy !req
487. Then why was it
on Gossip Girl?
Copy !req
488. I have no idea.
Copy !req
489. Why should I believe that, Nate?
Copy !req
490. You already lied
to me about having
Copy !req
491. a relationship with Diana.
Copy !req
492. Okay, you're right, right?
Copy !req
493. And that was dumb
and I'm really sorry about that.
Copy !req
494. But there is nothing
going on right now.
Copy !req
495. Then why do you keep
nervously looking at the door?
Copy !req
496. Because Diana has made
it clear to me that
Copy !req
497. she's determined to push me out.
Copy !req
498. And the last thing
I need is a fight
Copy !req
499. with my girlfriend
at the office.
Copy !req
500. Okay, well, we
can discuss it tonight then.
Copy !req
501. I can't tonight. I have
to go to this party.
Copy !req
502. What? You don't even like
events like this.
Copy !req
503. And the only reason
you wanna go is because
Copy !req
504. you think I'm lying
to you and I'm not.
Copy !req
505. This is a work event,
not a personal one, okay?
Copy !req
506. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
507. Hey, is there anything
you wanna tell me?
Copy !req
508. Let me guess. You saw on
Gossip Girl that Chuck came by.
Copy !req
509. - I can explain.
- No, you don't have to.
Copy !req
510. I-I already know
about the dowry.
Copy !req
511. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
512. About how, uh, how
Chuck paid your dowry.
Copy !req
513. Listen, if that's why you
didn't sign the divorce papers
Copy !req
514. 'I just wish you would tell me.'
Copy !req
515. No, I had no idea Chuck paid it.
Copy !req
516. None. I thought it was Georgina.
Copy !req
517. - 'I gotta go.'
- Where?
Copy !req
518. To find him.
Copy !req
519. Him who? Chuck?
Copy !req
520. - Hello.
- 'This is John Rosen.'
Copy !req
521. 'Ivy Dickens' lawyer.'
Copy !req
522. 'My client got a call
from a bank officer'
Copy !req
523. 'informing her that there
was a cashier's check'
Copy !req
524. 'waiting for her.'
Copy !req
525. Yes, my, uh, wife
Copy !req
526. unfroze the assets.
Copy !req
527. 'That's what Ivy thought.'
Copy !req
528. 'So she packed up,
left her keys'
Copy !req
529. 'and went to get the check.'
Copy !req
530. 'When she got to the bank,
they had no idea'
Copy !req
531. 'what she was talking about.'
Copy !req
532. I couldn't help but overhear
your little lover's spat.
Copy !req
533. I'm sorry Lola won't
be coming tonight
Copy !req
534. but maybe presents
an opportunity.
Copy !req
535. What if you and I went together?
Copy !req
536. Well, I appreciate
the olive branch
Copy !req
537. but I think it sends
the wrong message.
Copy !req
538. Lola's still my girlfriend
Copy !req
539. and I don't wanna hurt her.
Copy !req
540. You and I know, it's just
business. What's the risk?
Copy !req
541. What's the point?
Copy !req
542. It looks good to advertisers.
Copy !req
543. Us playing nice.
Copy !req
544. Let's use this night
to send a message to the town
Copy !req
545. that "The Spectator" is back
to being a well-oiled machine.
Copy !req
546. Hey.
Copy !req
547. So Nate swears there's
nothing going on with Diana
Copy !req
548. but he also refuses
to bring me as his date tonight.
Copy !req
549. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
550. Well, you just have
two options then.
Copy !req
551. You either stay home
and do nothing
Copy !req
552. or you come with me
to the party and you model.
Copy !req
553. Tell Tracy I'll
be there. With a date.
Copy !req
554. Diana better watch out.
I'm ready.
Copy !req
555. Everyone's been talking about
Manhattan's latest arrival
Copy !req
556. Lola Rhodes.
Copy !req
557. And word is that tonight
Copy !req
558. you're going to see
a whole lot more of her.
Copy !req
559. Hey. They do not have parties
like this in Florida.
Copy !req
560. They barely have
dental hygiene in Florida.
Copy !req
561. Ooh, open bar. Be right back.
Copy !req
562. Hey, nice touch
with the hot guy.
Copy !req
563. Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
564. So have you seen them yet?
Copy !req
565. No, how are you?
Copy !req
566. Okay. Don't tell me
they're not on a date.
Copy !req
567. And she's even more
beautiful in person.
Copy !req
568. That's annoying.
Copy !req
569. Don't worry, a-as
soon as she sees you model
Copy !req
570. she's not only gonna see you're
a force to be reckoned with
Copy !req
571. and back off
Copy !req
572. but you and Nate will be
Copy !req
573. the hottest couple
on the party circuit.
Copy !req
574. You will surpass me as
New York's "It Girl" in no time.
Copy !req
575. Oh, no, Serena, no one can
surpass you. Especially not me.
Copy !req
576. Yes, you can and you will
and believe me
Copy !req
577. nothing would make me happier.
Copy !req
578. Come on, let's go find Tracy
Copy !req
579. so we can start getting ready.
Copy !req
580. Actually, I think I'm gonna
introduce myself to Diana first.
Copy !req
581. - Thanks.
- Go for it. Good luck.
Copy !req
582. Hey, Nate. You remember Aiden?
Copy !req
583. Uh, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
584. Careful, Nate, you don't
wanna cause a scene.
Copy !req
585. 'This is a business party,
after all.'
Copy !req
586. Hi, I'm Lola Rhodes.
I don't think we've ever met.
Copy !req
587. This is my date, Aiden Hill.
Copy !req
588. Oh. It's a pleasure.
Copy !req
589. I'm surprised to see you,
Lola, Nate said
Copy !req
590. you wouldn't be making it.
Copy !req
591. Actually, I was invited
Copy !req
592. to model tonight.
Copy !req
593. What? I, I didn't know that.
Copy !req
594. Well, why would you,
it's not like we were
Copy !req
595. coming together.
Copy !req
596. Maybe Diana and I should, uh,
get a drink while you two talk.
Copy !req
597. Actually, Nate and I need to go
and say hello to a few people.
Copy !req
598. Lola, maybe it's time
for you to show Aiden
Copy !req
599. what you're modeling tonight.
Copy !req
600. Otherwise you might lose
two men to me in one day.
Copy !req
601. I brought lattes
to help us pack.
Copy !req
602. I heard from Ivy's lawyer.
Copy !req
603. She got a call from
the bank saying there was
Copy !req
604. a cashier's check
waiting for her.
Copy !req
605. So she packed up and moved out
Copy !req
606. and when she went
to collect it it wasn't there.
Copy !req
607. Do you know anything about this?
Copy !req
608. Yes. I never called the lawyers.
Copy !req
609. But now that she's out, I need
to legally make sure she can't
Copy !req
610. get back in.
Copy !req
611. And the call about the check?
Copy !req
612. It was a ruse
to get her out of the apartment.
Copy !req
613. Rufus, you're not gonna get me
to feel any remorse about this.
Copy !req
614. Ivy lied about who she was.
Copy !req
615. She manipulated my mother
while she lay dying
Copy !req
616. and she stole our apartment.
Copy !req
617. Look, frankly I
think she deserves
Copy !req
618. exactly what she's getting.
Copy !req
619. But you didn't just lie
to her, you lied to me.
Copy !req
620. But, Rufus, I'm sorry
I kept it from you.
Copy !req
621. Because I knew you wouldn't be
comfortable with it.
Copy !req
622. I had to protect you
from the truth.
Copy !req
623. This isn't what
a marriage is, Lily.
Copy !req
624. We have to be honest
with each other.
Copy !req
625. I know, but this was
an extreme situation.
Copy !req
626. I did what had to be done.
Copy !req
627. Yeah, maybe I'm
just seeing more clearly
Copy !req
628. because of the view
from Brooklyn but
Copy !req
629. I'm not okay with this.
Copy !req
630. Look, Rufus, I know you're upset
Copy !req
631. but how can you be so righteous?
Copy !req
632. We're talking about someone
that stole from us.
Copy !req
633. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
634. Can we please
just stop fighting?
Copy !req
635. Can we just pack and go home?
Copy !req
636. Yeah, I don't know, Lil.
Copy !req
637. Right now, this loft
feels a lot more
Copy !req
638. like home than our apartment.
Copy !req
639. As you can see, Nate, everyone's
very excited I'm back.
Copy !req
640. No one more so
than you, apparently.
Copy !req
641. Which makes me wonder,
it's a buyers' market
Copy !req
642. right now for newspapers.
Copy !req
643. If you really wanted one
Copy !req
644. you could have gone anywhere.
Copy !req
645. - What are you getting at?
- I think you came back for me.
Copy !req
646. Oh. You're adorable.
Copy !req
647. - No, I'm serious.
- Oh.
Copy !req
648. I think you spent
the last few months in LA
Copy !req
649. tryin' to convince yourself
that I was nothing
Copy !req
650. just a fling with a younger guy.
Copy !req
651. But the fact is
you couldn't get over me.
Copy !req
652. Really?
Copy !req
653. Then explain this.
Copy !req
654. Come with me.
Copy !req
655. Where's my date going?
Copy !req
656. Exactly where we wanted him to.
Copy !req
657. Blair, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
658. Looking for you.
Copy !req
659. At first, I wasn't sure
where I could find you
Copy !req
660. but then I realized
all I had to do was
Copy !req
661. look for the lingerie models.
Copy !req
662. So tell me, is it true?
Copy !req
663. Did you pay my dowry?
Copy !req
664. Who told you that?
Copy !req
665. Tell me if it's true.
Copy !req
666. - But, why does it matter?
- Ugh.
Copy !req
667. I knew it.
Copy !req
668. You thought you
could buy me back.
Copy !req
669. Just like you thought you
could sell me for your hotel.
Copy !req
670. You got it all wrong.
Copy !req
671. That's why you showed up
with that ruse
Copy !req
672. today about friendship.
Copy !req
673. You bought my divorce and you
came to collect your prize.
Copy !req
674. Then why didn't I collect?
Copy !req
675. I swear I did not want you
to know about the dowry.
Copy !req
676. The only people that knew
were Nate and Andrew Tyler.
Copy !req
677. Just wanted you to be free.
Copy !req
678. Whom you choose to love
with that freedom is up to you.
Copy !req
679. I'm sorry, Blair.
Copy !req
680. I thought you knew.
Copy !req
681. Oh.
Copy !req
682. You're right, he's a good actor.
Copy !req
683. Yeah, I don't think
he's acting all that much.
Copy !req
684. Wait, you two are
working together?
Copy !req
685. What? Is this,
some kind of revenge on Diana?
Copy !req
686. Yes, but let me
explain it to you.
Copy !req
687. I.. I can't believe this.
Copy !req
688. You, whatever.
Copy !req
689. But, Lola, you totally used me.
Copy !req
690. Just go talk to her.
We got what we needed, alright.
Copy !req
691. Uh-oh, Nate, looks
like your dirty movie
Copy !req
692. just got an unhappy ending.
Copy !req
693. What the hell do you
think you're doing?
Copy !req
694. Filming you and Aiden.
Copy !req
695. Oh, and he's 16, by the way.
Copy !req
696. Not sure how you're gonna run
"The Spectator" from jail.
Copy !req
697. - And you recorded it?
- Yup.
Copy !req
698. You have not lost
your touch, by the way.
Copy !req
699. So what do you think, the
front page of "The Spectator"
Copy !req
700. or just let Gossip Girl
run with it?
Copy !req
701. Go ahead, send the video
wherever you want.
Copy !req
702. 'If what's-his-name
really is 16'
Copy !req
703. you'll be in prison
right there next to me
Copy !req
704. for recording and
distributing child pornography.
Copy !req
705. Gonna go enjoy the show.
See you at work tomorrow.
Copy !req
706. So, uh, are you okay?
Copy !req
707. Yeah.
Copy !req
708. I guess I'm just
not used to seeing
Copy !req
709. Chuck do anything selfless.
Copy !req
710. Yeah, well, people
can surprise us.
Copy !req
711. Even Chuck. I saw
the divorce papers.
Copy !req
712. The seal was there,
but they weren't signed.
Copy !req
713. I thought you must
have known that
Copy !req
714. he paid the dowry.
Copy !req
715. No.
Copy !req
716. No, this has nothing to do
with Chuck. Or the dowry.
Copy !req
717. Well, then-then-then why?
Copy !req
718. My whole life, I wanted
to be a princess.
Copy !req
719. And when I met Louis,
it was this whole whirlwind
Copy !req
720. of royalty and tiaras and
Copy !req
721. it seemed like
my dream was coming true.
Copy !req
722. I mean, I may have
married a prince
Copy !req
723. but I never really got
to be a princess.
Copy !req
724. I know it's silly, but I think
it was just one more loss
Copy !req
725. I needed to mourn
before moving on.
Copy !req
726. Serena, when I first came
to you, it was because
Copy !req
727. I needed advice
and I wanted yours.
Copy !req
728. Oh, and when you agreed
to come with me to the party?
Copy !req
729. That was because I needed
to make it look like
Copy !req
730. I was in a fight
with Nate in front of Diana.
Copy !req
731. I know you really want
this "It Girl" title for me
Copy !req
732. and I'm so flattered that
you think I could ever
Copy !req
733. live up to it, but
to be honest with you, Serena
Copy !req
734. I, I don't care about
that kind of thing.
Copy !req
735. And neither does Nate,
so I'm so sorry I
Copy !req
736. I hope we can still be friends.
Copy !req
737. Well, why would I want to be?
Copy !req
738. I put myself on the line
for you, Lola
Copy !req
739. and then all you did
was let me down.
Copy !req
740. Okay, ladies, time
to get in position.
Copy !req
741. There's just been
a small change in the plans.
Copy !req
742. Yeah, Lola's not modeling.
Copy !req
743. - What?
- She can explain.
Copy !req
744. Uh, Serena, I need
to talk to you.
Copy !req
745. Oh, I'm so sorry about Lola.
I know it's an inconvenience.
Copy !req
746. It's not that, after that
photograph today came out today
Copy !req
747. 'we thought we'd get
even more buzz if we changed'
Copy !req
748. 'the name of "The Serena"
to "The Lola."'
Copy !req
749. So I need you
to model something else.
Copy !req
750. Seriously? I mean, a few minutes
ago that would have been
Copy !req
751. great news, but now
you ask me to do this.
Copy !req
752. I have a model to take your
place while you go change
Copy !req
753. we'd love to see you
in something else.
Copy !req
754. Sorry, but you can't go out
there, we can't have Serena
Copy !req
755. being the face of "The Lola."
Copy !req
756. 'Please, come with me.'
Copy !req
757. Spotted, Serena van der Woodsen
Copy !req
758. blowing off
the Kiki fashion show.
Copy !req
759. Looks like this partyjust went
Copy !req
760. from "so hot" to "so not."
Copy !req
761. Hey.
Copy !req
762. I just wanted to let you know
how sorry I am about last night.
Copy !req
763. And I really appreciate
everything you were doing
Copy !req
764. with the whole "It Girl" thing.
Copy !req
765. No, it's okay, I-I, I'm sorry
Copy !req
766. I shouldn't have pushed
you to do it.
Copy !req
767. It's clearly not for you, heh.
Copy !req
768. Actually, it might be.
Copy !req
769. 'I got a call
from an agent this morning.'
Copy !req
770. She saw my photo
on Gossip Girl and wants to
Copy !req
771. set up a meeting with me.
Copy !req
772. What, does, um
Copy !req
773. what does Nate
have to say about it?
Copy !req
774. I thought he didn't care about
Copy !req
775. you being an "It Girl."
Copy !req
776. 'Yeah, I know, he
doesn't, but, um'
Copy !req
777. he's supportive of
my acting career so he's happy.
Copy !req
778. And, anyway, it's how you use
your power that counts, right?
Copy !req
779. Sure, heh.
Copy !req
780. How do you plan to use yours?
Copy !req
781. Well, I was thinking that
Copy !req
782. instead of being
an "It Girl" like you
Copy !req
783. beautiful and unobtainable
that maybe I could be more
Copy !req
784. of an "Every Girl," you know?
Copy !req
785. Like someone
everyone can relate to.
Copy !req
786. I don't know. Maybe
that's dumb. Is that stupid?
Copy !req
787. No, no, no, I..
Copy !req
788. 'No, I just think,
you know, these things'
Copy !req
789. 'usually come and go
pretty quickly'
Copy !req
790. so I just... I wouldn't
get used to it, you know.
Copy !req
791. But, um, there are
some things that I have to do.
Copy !req
792. So maybe I can call you later
and we can hang out?
Copy !req
793. Okay, yeah.
Copy !req
794. Can we talk?
Copy !req
795. Sure.
Copy !req
796. I don't think I
realized just how upset
Copy !req
797. you were with me
till last night.
Copy !req
798. Or how much you were willing
to fight for "The Spectator."
Copy !req
799. I've been putting my heart
and soul into this paper.
Copy !req
800. Of course, I'm
gonna fight for it.
Copy !req
801. I'd like us to find
a way to work together.
Copy !req
802. Well, I don't know how
to do that anymore.
Copy !req
803. Well
Copy !req
804. I could apologize, for starters.
Copy !req
805. For not being honest with you
from the very beginning
Copy !req
806. about being in business
with your grandfather.
Copy !req
807. It was a terrible thing
to do to you.
Copy !req
808. Thank you.
Copy !req
809. Is that it?
Copy !req
810. Well, I could apologize
for last night, but
Copy !req
811. I thought that was a draw.
Copy !req
812. Heh, what about all
Copy !req
813. the Gossip Girl sources
you released?
Copy !req
814. I didn't do that.
Copy !req
815. I thought you'd have
found out by now.
Copy !req
816. After your grandfather
intervened, it was all over.
Copy !req
817. I thought it would be easier
for you to hate me.
Copy !req
818. And frankly, I, I think
I wanted to punish myself
Copy !req
819. a little for what I did to you.
Copy !req
820. So about us working together,
what's that gonna look like?
Copy !req
821. "The Spectator" is yours.
Copy !req
822. I'm just here
in a support capacity.
Copy !req
823. In the meantime, I have
some other business
Copy !req
824. I need to take care of and
that's gonna be my main focus.
Copy !req
825. And I've found
another office downstairs.
Copy !req
826. Deal?
Copy !req
827. Deal.
Copy !req
828. There's one more thing
I should come clean about.
Copy !req
829. You were right about me
still having feelings for you.
Copy !req
830. I know you're
with Lola now and I promise
Copy !req
831. I won't let my feelings
get in the way
Copy !req
832. of your relationship
or of our work.
Copy !req
833. Let me know if you need me.
Copy !req
834. Thank you.
Copy !req
835. Always good to see you, but you
didn't need to come all the way
Copy !req
836. to The Mark to meet me, Andrew.
Copy !req
837. You could have just e-mailed
me Elizabeth's information.
Copy !req
838. That's why I came.
Copy !req
839. I don't think
you should contact her, Chuck.
Copy !req
840. Look, I appreciate you looking
out for me, but I've decided I
Copy !req
841. wanna try and have
a relationship with my mother.
Copy !req
842. That's the thing.
Elizabeth is not your mother.
Copy !req
843. I made contact, she swore
Copy !req
844. it wasn't her
who donated the blood.
Copy !req
845. Said she was in a monastery
in Tibet at the time.
Copy !req
846. A monastery? She's lying.
She's good at that.
Copy !req
847. I looked into it.
Her story checks out.
Copy !req
848. Keep looking. Someone
donated that blood.
Copy !req
849. I wanna know who.
Copy !req
850. What is this about?
Copy !req
851. Look, the sun hasn't set.
Copy !req
852. I feel like a prom queen
doing the walk of shame.
Copy !req
853. You look like a princess,
now, I'm not gonna lie
Copy !req
854. this is cubic zirconia
Copy !req
855. that I got from a costume shop
Copy !req
856. but you'll sell it.
Copy !req
857. Cubic zirconia does not
touch this body.
Copy !req
858. Put it on, Blair.
Copy !req
859. I have hit rock bottom.
What is going on?
Copy !req
860. I, uh, I thought you
should get to feel
Copy !req
861. like a princess one last time.
Copy !req
862. OMG! It's Blair Waldorf! I can't
believe this is happening.
Copy !req
863. You look beautiful.
Copy !req
864. She's a real-life princess.
Copy !req
865. - Let's get a picture with her.
- Yes, can we..
Copy !req
866. - Here.
- Just give to him.
Copy !req
867. Yeah. Absolutely.
Copy !req
868. Alright, everybody smile.
Copy !req
869. Smile bigger!
Copy !req
870. Love your crown.
Copy !req
871. - Amazing.
- We love you.
Copy !req
872. - Thank you.
- Thank you, bye.
Copy !req
873. Thank you.
Copy !req
874. It turns out that Lola staged
that photo of herself
Copy !req
875. in afireman's jacket.
Copy !req
876. How desperate.
Copy !req
877. Doesn't she realize there
can only be one "It Girl"
Copy !req
878. on the Upper East Side?
Copy !req
879. And that will always be
Copy !req
880. Serena van der Woodsen.
Copy !req
881. Nate Archibald's office, please.
Copy !req
882. 'He's not available right now.'
Copy !req
883. - Tell him it's Lola.
- 'He's in with Diana.'
Copy !req
884. 'He asked not to be disturbed.'
Copy !req
885. 'Hey, Lola. Can we
get a picture?'
Copy !req
886. 'Look this way, please.'
Copy !req
887. - Come on, Lola. Look this way.
- Ah, that's great.
Copy !req
888. - 'Turn around. Come on, Lola.'
- 'Come on, sweetheart.'
Copy !req
889. - 'There you go.'
- Nice. Nice!
Copy !req
890. You must be happy to be home.
Copy !req
891. Um, very much, Vanya. Thank you.
Copy !req
892. I will go back down
and get Mr. Humphrey's bags.
Copy !req
893. Well, um, actually,
this is it for now.
Copy !req
894. Sometimes we fight
for something
Copy !req
895. only to discover
by the time we get it
Copy !req
896. our goals have changed.
Copy !req
897. For some, it's too late.
Copy !req
898. The lines have been drawn.
Copy !req
899. And the damage has beendone.
Copy !req
900. But other times,
you get thething
Copy !req
901. you always wanted..
Copy !req
902. only to find out
it isn't what you really need.
Copy !req
903. Get ready, kids, I'm back
Copy !req
904. and this time,
I'm here tostay.
Copy !req
905. XOXO, Gossip Girl.
