Gossip Girl: What The Chuck

Last night's Gossip Girl season finale was, in a word, epic. The show is known for season ending cliff hangers and the writers certainly delivered! Let's begin at the end . . .

CHUCK! Chuck cannot be dead. He can be critically injured and this gun shot wound can increase the size of the chip on his shoulder, but I will not recover if he is gone for good.

And neither will Blair. Although, given Chuck's punching of Little J's V-card, she may not be so sympathetic. I must say, given that in season one, Chuck tried to rape Jenny, this may be one of Gossip Girl's most unrealistic story lines.

Kind of like the reunion of Serena and Dan. This would never happen! They have already beat this dead relationship horse over and over again. Not to mention, technically they are step siblings!

This episode Jenny reached an all time low. She backstabbed Serena, Dan, Vanessa and Nate by posting that picture to Gossip Girl, she slept with Chuck (some first time memory) and then, in the most unattractive crying scene in history, dark eye make up rolls down her face as she pushes Eric away, her only shadow of a friend that's left.

On a happy note, Dorota and Vanya's baby is born! A beautiful girl named Anastasia and Eleanor and Cyrus are asked to be the god parents. This is not right. Blair should have been the fashion fairy godmother. Not sure how they will weave the baby into next season, but I hope they do!

And speaking of babies, Georgina Sparks is back and allegedly pregnant with Dan's baby! What? No way. This is clearly a lie and part of a larger scheme. Its always amusing to me how the writers keep weaving her back in. We don't miss her, so why the repeat appearances?

So here is where we are as we head into the summer hiatus: Serena and Blair are single and in Paris, Dan is pining for Serena, Nate is distracting himself with a threesome, Jenny is off to Hudson for the foreseeable future, Georgina is carrying Dan's baby (so she says) and Chuck is lying in a gutter in Prague. Will Blair fly to Prague to nurse Chuck back to health? Will Dan fly to Paris to woo Serena? Will Georgina's intentions be revealed? Will Jenny ever return from Hudson or is she gone for good?

While we ponder these possible plot twists, check out two fantastic recaps: Daily Intel (in which blogger Jessica's husband keeps screaming at the TV in confusion about the Serena/Dan reunion) and TV Without Pity.

Have a devious summer Gossip Girl, XOXO.
