Gossip Girl: The One

Last night's Gossip Girl shocked me! On so many levels! Wow. Where to begin!

Blair spends a wonderful night with Chuck (including a hora and a secret romp) and just as I think she is choosing Chuck over Louis, Chuck throws a curve ball! I was starting to get excited about a Chuck and Blair reunion (though last week I was rooting for Louis) and he took the "if you love her, set her free" approach.

While on the subject of Chuck and Blair, there were a few small details this episode that I loved. First Eleanor calling Chuck "the big bad wolf." Hilarious and appropriate. Blair keeping Chuck as #1 on her speed dial and lastly, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" playing during their tryst. Absolutely perfect song selection.

On to the deviants! Georgina busts Charlie and then it turns out Charlie was hired? How does no one in the Van Der Woodsen family know what their cousin looks like? Ridiculous.

I am very curious about what will happen when Dan discovers that Vanessa is having his novel published. Wise of her to publish the book anonymously, but still. Also there is absolutely no way a publisher would take the word of a nineteen year old girl without meeting the author and there is really no way they would send checks to a random address in Spain.

In the final scene of the episode Dorota throws out a positive pregnancy test. Does this test below to her? To Blair? To Serena? The possibilities are endless!

Before signing off for the season I want to give a shout out to the band featured at the engagement party in this episode, the Airborne Toxic Event. I really loved them.

When we rejoin our gang, Serena will be in California, Dan and Eric in the Hamptons, Blair in Monaco and Chuck and Nate on a bender somewhere naughty. I can hardly wait.
