Gossip Girl -5×23- The Fugitives





That actually didn't suck.

Dan's hair in the first scene-- dude, you might as well start using activator.

I called Bart's antagonist wrong. I was sure it was going to be William Vanderbilt.

Do they call that thing Chace Crawford does on this show "acting"?

Poor S. Nobody would tell her anything in this episode.

And poor, pathetic, sad Ivy. A million dollars is better than belonging to a group that doesn't want you.

But, goddamn did she and Charlola look smoking in that scene.

It was pretty assy of Nate to let Chuck blame the double-cross of Diana completely on Charlola, as if he wasn't behind it.

For once Andrew functioned as more than a plot device. And now he's gone.

S wearing the head band while masquerading as B was an unnecessary but amusing touch.

What a juxtaposition of Blair saying that the next man to whom she says "I love you," she wants to be the last-- and we cut to Chuck.

Even before the finale preview, this episode sealed it: C/B and D/S are just wired for each other. At first I thought they were showing that S was moving on for the time being, but then it became plain that she's so far gone (and, ok, loves Blair that much too) that she was now even willing assume the role of the "friend." Dan, take Serena to Rome. The woman has the patience/tolerance/capacity for forgiveness of all the saints ever put together. Somehow she is still willing to give you additional chances. At last take advantage of it, finally, for god's sake. They say don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Well, this one is bringing you a gift from Tiffany's, and it's like the nicest thing they have there, when you yourself wouldn't even be let in the store. (But, if they have contact with the Italian interviewer, is Serena going to have to go by "Blair" all summer?)
