00:01Good morning, Upper East Siders. Gossip Girl here.
00:05Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.
00:09Top story on my homepage?
00:11Serena Van Der Woosen, everybody's favorite IT girl,
00:14has just returned from a mysterious absence
00:17and was learning the hard way that you can never go home again.
00:23You'll never believe us on Gossip Girl.
00:25Someone saw Serena getting off the train at Grand Central.
00:27Serena?
00:28Serena's at school.
00:29Why'd she return?
00:31Let me guess, you told everyone Eric's just visiting Grandpa in Rhode Island.
00:34You're Aunt Carol in Miami.
00:35He tries to take his own life and you're worried it's gonna cost you Mom of the Year?
00:39Must be a lot of rumors while you're back.
00:41None of them mention you.
00:42Nate's gonna wait for Serena.
00:43You can get in line behind that guy.
00:45I don't need some new boy influencing or distracting her from her needs.
00:49A kid like Dan is exactly what Serena needs.
00:51Guess who's dad is cool!
00:53It's a trick question.
00:54Yeah, cause it can't be ours.
00:55You're going out with Serena and I'm going to kiss on the lips.
00:57Who said this family wasn't cool?
00:59I thought everything was good between us.
01:01It was.
01:02Before I found out you had sex with my boyfriend.
01:04Great, just in time for brunch.
01:06I told her to stay away.
01:09I'm not sneaking around with you.
01:10Just to talk.
01:11You said you'd never speak to her again.
01:14She slept with your best friend's boyfriend.
01:16Is that true?
01:17And she ran away.
01:18And lied about it.
01:20Poor Daniel.
01:21So little time, so many sluts to fight.
01:26This world, it's crazy.
01:28You're a part of it.
01:30Claire, how can I fix this?
01:32You don't, Serena.
01:34You just stay away.
01:36But now that Serena is back, will the Upper East Side ever be the same?
01:40It takes two to tangle.
01:41And girls like these don't go down without a fight.
01:45Where is she now?
01:46Serena.
01:47And who am I?
01:48That's not a secret, I'll never tell.
01:51You know you love me.
01:53XOXO.
01:54Gossip Girl.
01:55G-L-A-M-O
02:00There's plenty of upside to being a spawn of the fabulously wealthy.
02:04But the downside?
02:06Super successful parents expect nothing less from their offspring.
02:10And when it comes to college, that means the Ivies.
02:14It's more than just getting into college.
02:16It's setting a course for the rest of your life.
02:19And for those few who aren't legacies, the pressures are no less.
02:23When parents have sacrificed for their children's futures, what kid would want to let them down?
02:29G-L-L-A-M-M
02:32O-O-R-R-O-U-S
02:35Yeah, G-L-L-A-M-M
02:38O-O-R-O-U-S
02:41We're flying first class
02:43Up in the sky, popping champagne
02:46Living the life in the fast lane
02:49I won't change by the glamorous
02:52Ooh, the flossy, flossy
02:54The glamorous, glamorous by the glamorous
02:57Ooh, the flossy, flossy
02:59Thank you ladies
03:02Good morning students
03:06I ask all of you to show a little sympathy for our junior class
03:11They are almost through with Ivy Week
03:14As is our long-standing tradition, the Constance Billard Girls will be in charge of Friday Night's Mixer
03:20And the St. Jude's Boys will provide the ushers for the visiting representatives
03:25For those of you who dream of attending an Ivy League school, this mixer is the most important event of your life
03:32But no pressure
03:35That's not that bad
03:37Looks like I shaved with a wood chipper
03:38I was going with more of a chainsaw
03:40Not helping
03:41Not trying to
03:42Hey, look on the bright side
03:43You're not a hemophiliac
03:44Otherwise you'd be in the emergency room
03:47And that's helping
03:48Not really
03:49Garvin's gonna love you
03:50You know, I gotta believe being able to shave is a prerequisite for attending
03:53No one is better qualified, no one is smarter, more well-rounded
03:57Or wounded
03:58It's not like I have a trust fund to fall back on, Dad
04:00All I have is what's up here
04:02Oh
04:03Well, that is the most important thing
04:05College is about academic excellence
04:07Not your stock portfolio
04:09Besides, you're gonna do great in your interview
04:10You take after your dad that way
04:11Spotlight doesn't phase us
04:12Ooh, you better hope there's not a spotlight involved
04:15I'm your sister
04:18It's what I do
04:19Not when it's about Dorvus
04:24Nathaniel, a little wake and beg
04:27We have our interviews today
04:29My point exactly
04:30Halfway one hitter
04:32Your underclassmen should consider this week a dress rehearsal
04:35You're not only representing yourselves this week
04:38But generations
04:39From our school and your families
04:41Try not to cut me off next time
04:47You don't want to knock me over to the side of the bench
04:49I didn't cut you off
04:52I didn't mean to
04:54You went fair and square enough to make me prouder
04:56Until you get into the old alma mater, that is
04:59We talked about this
05:00About me keeping my options open
05:02Looking out west
05:03Yeah, of course
05:04Let's get serious
05:05Someone with your grades wants to get into Dartmouth
05:06You need to appear to be working for it
05:07Dead
05:08Culturing the rep is a good step
05:10How come every time I bring up going to USC you act like it's a joke
05:12Nate, there's a plan here
05:13Maybe I want to make my own
05:14Listen, your mother and I didn't work this hard
05:16So you can just make things up as you go along
05:20Dartmouth
05:21Law school
05:22Blair
05:23Soon you're gonna have everything
05:25Let's not move for work
05:26Nail that interview today
05:28Go green
05:32As part of Ivy Week's festivities
05:34At tomorrow night's mixer
05:36Blair Waldorf
05:37Will announce the charity
05:39Her community outreach committee
05:41Will honor this year
05:42Have you seen Serena?
05:43I wonder where she is
05:44And you know what I wonder?
05:46I'm supposed to hear anything about Yale
05:48With all this talk about Serena
05:50Columbia, Dartmouth, Penn, Princeton, Cornell
05:52Do you remember when Dad gave him my first Yale sweatshirt?
05:57I don't think any piece of clothing has ever fit me more perfectly
06:00Not to mention how adorable I found that bulldog
06:03Remember when I asked you if I could get a bulldog?
06:05Good call, by the way, saying no
06:07And now the big day is finally here
06:10Soon Nate and I will be away at college
06:12Him coming down to Yale, me going up to Dartmouth
06:14Dad flying in for the Princeton game
06:17I hope it doesn't make you feel old watching me grow up
06:20Eat up, Miss Blair
06:22Your mom would want you to have a good breakfast
06:32And now, Headmaster Prescott will walk you through
06:35So Serena's really not here
06:36That's what I said
06:37When you were both supposed to be talking
06:39Serena, come on, hurry up, you're gonna be late
06:47I am
06:48I know
06:49You know, you shouldn't have stayed at your brother's again
06:51I mean, why sleep there?
06:52It's not like he can even see you
06:54His eyes are closed
06:55Do you have one maternal bone in your entire body?
06:57Serena, you need your rest, okay?
06:59It's IV week
07:00I know, and if I can get out of this hotel room
07:02It's my sole mission in life to impress that brown robe
07:05Well, I am so thrilled to hear you say that's still your plan
07:08Because I mean, I know it's something we've always talked about
07:10But honestly, since you've been back
07:12I've, uh, wondered if your mind was even on college
07:15No, I've had my mind on a lot of things
07:17But since recent events
07:19Going away to college sounds pretty good
07:21How, um, how did you leave things with Dan?
07:23I don't want to talk about it
07:25What's going on with you and Blair?
07:27Mom, please
07:28Look, all I want to do is just finish high school in peace
07:32And go away to a state with lots of people who don't know who I am
07:35And just start over, okay?
07:41Take a cab, don't walk
07:50God, please don't tell me it's over
07:52What?
07:53You were there, I would say it's pretty old work
07:56I meant the assembly
07:58Oh, right, no, yeah, no, it just ended
08:01Now
08:02Damn it
08:03Anyway, good luck
08:08Yeah, me too
08:09Aw, too bad you missed the assembly
08:12Not that it matters
08:13Brown doesn't offer degrees to slut
08:16Spotted
08:17S, not so fashionably late
08:19And dressed down by B
08:21Game on ladies
08:24Baby, would you get your body from?
08:26Tell me, would you get your body from?
08:28Baby, would you get your body from?
08:30Tell me, would you get your body from?
08:32I got it from my mind
08:34I got it from my mind
08:35I got it from my mind
08:36I got it from my mind
08:37Look, I made a mistake with Nate, okay?
08:38But then you sabotaged me with Dan
08:40We don't have to be friends
08:41We-
08:42What's up, Waldorf?
08:43What's up, Waldorf?
08:45Sorry. Slipped.
08:47I'm done.
08:51I really want to believe that was an accident.
08:53Then you must be delusional.
09:05I'm running out of colors here, Blair.
09:07Well, I'm running out of patience.
09:09Enough, okay?
09:11It's enough when I say it's enough.
09:23Girl, break it up!
09:25Get off of me!
09:27Is that a biscuit?
09:29So we've actually come to physical blows, huh?
09:33Bruce?
09:35Ow! My leg!
09:37Serena, you're out of here!
09:39Ow!
09:41I hope it's broken.
09:43Hey, Upper East Siders.
09:45We hear that World War III just broke out,
09:47and it's wearing knee socks.
09:49Choose your side, or run and hide.
09:51We have a feeling this one is to the death.
09:53And why should you be the Dartmouth Usher?
09:55Well, I've given this a lot of thought,
09:57and I think I can answer your question in three parts.
09:59And I'd like to start with the third part first, if it's cool,
10:03unless that would be confusing,
10:05in which case I can start at the beginning.
10:07The Dartmouth principles of community highlight integrity, responsibility, and consideration.
10:15Well, from St. Jude's, I've learned integrity.
10:19From being an older brother, I have learned responsibility.
10:23And from my parents, who have sacrificed everything to send me to this school,
10:27I've learned consideration.
10:29It really comes down to one thing.
10:31Dartmouth is my dream.
10:33And I've never asked Dartmouth, but I think it's been dreaming of me.
10:39That was a joke, or an attempt at one.
10:45An attempt at one.
10:47Next question.
10:49You are the ideal Dartmouth candidate.
10:51Thank you, sir.
10:53And it would be an honor to attend Dartmouth.
10:55I've grown up hearing all about it from my father.
10:59I'm just not sure it's my first choice.
11:01And if there's only one Usher position available,
11:05I'm sure there's someone who wants it more than me.
11:09Why should I be chosen to be an Usher?
11:13I'm Chuck Bass.
11:17Excuse me.
11:33Hey.
11:35Hey.
11:37You get the one you wanted?
11:41Uh, no.
11:45No, actually, you did.
11:49Which makes total sense, because I'm second in our class,
11:53and you're somewhere around, I don't know, uh, last?
11:57You have hard feelings, huh?
11:59Why should there be?
12:00I mean, how many libraries has your dad had to endow to get you this spot?
12:03You've earned it.
12:04Look, man, you don't know anything about my family.
12:06I'm sorry.
12:07You're right.
12:08You're right.
12:09I'm sure J.L. Hall will be very impressed with your passion for the Dartmouth experience.
12:13Who the hell is J.L. Hall?
12:14He's the Ivy rep.
12:15You might want to pick up his book if you want anything to talk about.
12:21The Petting Zoo.
12:23That's the name of his book.
12:25Oh, angry guy, huh?
12:32She refused.
12:33I'm trying to work on that.
12:35Well, let me know how that goes for you.
12:37Yeah, I'll keep you posted.
12:40It's a tough week.
12:41Not for me, apparently.
12:43Oh, you got an usher position?
12:44No, I didn't.
12:45An ironic, though, not totally unexpected twist.
12:48Nate got the one I wanted.
12:51Sorry.
12:52Yeah, well, I guess that's life when you're not a legacy.
12:56Well, hey, just because you're not an usher doesn't mean you're not going to get into an Ivy.
12:59Yeah?
13:00Where'd your parents go to school?
13:01Harvard and Brown.
13:05That's all I'm saying.
13:15Can't believe Serena did this.
13:16That's such a cheap shot.
13:20Finally.
13:21Hello to you, too.
13:22Heard about the field hockey throw down.
13:24All those mouth guards and short skirts.
13:26I hope somebody filmed it.
13:27You're heinous.
13:29Which is probably why you called.
13:31You know me well.
13:33Women like to pretend they're complicated.
13:34I know better.
13:36My leg's numb now.
13:37How about a heating pad?
13:39Sure.
13:46Serena came home for a reason.
13:48One can only guess.
13:49I'm done guessing.
13:50I want answers.
13:51And no one likes to be on the ground floor of a scandal like Chuck Bass.
13:54I am a bitch when I want to be.
13:56Opportunity to cause some trouble?
13:58Uncover a secret?
13:59Take yes for an answer.
14:01Let's turn back to school.
14:02I left something important behind.
14:06Oh Danny boy.
14:07How was your day?
14:08He's about to hype dinner.
14:09Cause no matter how good it was, it's about to get a lot better.
14:12I've outdone myself with a bolognese.
14:13Oh Danny boy.
14:14How was your day?
14:15He's about to hype dinner.
14:16Cause no matter how good it was, it's about to get a lot better.
14:21I've outdone myself with a bolognese.
14:22Sorry about the melodramatic entrance.
14:23You didn't get it?
14:24No, I didn't get it.
14:25No, I didn't get it.
14:50No, I didn't get it.
14:56And that I do not get.
14:59They gave it to Nate Archibald!
15:09Last year, I believe he had an original thought.
15:13He had died of loneliness.
15:17I'm sorry.
15:18You're sorry.
15:19Yeah, I know how much your mom sacrificed.
15:21The whole reason you sent us to a school like this
15:23is so we can go to a college of our choice.
15:26What if that's all for nothing?
15:28It's not, okay?
15:30It's not.
15:32So you don't get to be the usher of some whatever party.
15:36Dad, can I just, um, still alone for a while?
15:40We're Humphrey's dad.
15:55Not exactly royalty uptown.
15:58Are you okay with that?
15:59No.
16:00But I'm used to it.
16:03I don't know.
16:04But I'm used to it.
16:05I don't know.
16:06That would be nice to it.
16:07I swear to you.
16:09Who we are now?
16:10You can't Ven Arados low.
16:12Three meters.
16:14Kind of clos do.
16:15Who we are
16:16and moving on to look.
16:17I put it one for a shot.
16:20You can't.
16:21You can't do them.
16:23And just let's keep it out of there.
16:25This is way too good.
16:48Mom, how's Paris?
16:50You're not going to believe where I found our little princess.
16:53Really?
16:55I admit it, even for me, this was good.
17:05If you weren't such a perv, I'm sure the CIA would hire you in a second.
17:08Defending my country. There's a future I never imagined.
17:11With good reason. What is she doing there?
17:14What's anyone doing here? It's a facility for the disturbed or addicted.
17:18You must have your own wing.
17:20You don't get nearly enough credit for your wit.
17:22So the question is, what do you do now?
17:26Well, I was thinking. Total social destruction.
17:31And here I thought you were getting soft.
17:34So this is your bed, huh?
17:36Leaving now.
17:39You can repay me another time.
17:40I've been in these sessions every day for the last week, but nothing is going to change unless she stops hiding him here and lets him have his life back.
17:56This is not called hiding, Serena. It's called recovery.
17:59Telling everyone he's staying with Aunt Carol in Miami?
18:02He's not ready.
18:03He's not or you're not.
18:05Okay, let's take a deep breath.
18:07It's good to see honest conversation.
18:10What does she know about honesty?
18:11Serena, but I really think a decision like this includes Eric as well.
18:15You mean I have a say in this?
18:17Wow, thanks.
18:18Eric, of course we're here for you.
18:20Look, if you're ready to leave, you tell us, okay?
18:23No matter what mom says.
18:27I would really like to get out of here.
18:35But maybe I'm not ready yet.
18:41Hey, what about for a few hours?
18:42You can be my date to the Ivy League party tonight.
18:45Serena, that party is an important event for you.
18:48We'll help you around people he knows.
18:49It'll be fun, comfortable.
18:51Actually, that sounds great.
18:52Well, there we go.
18:54Compromise.
18:55That wasn't so hard, was it?
18:58You know what?
18:59I have to go.
19:00Help them set up for tonight at the school.
19:04It's my job as both parent committee chair and responsible mother.
19:14It'll be great, okay?
19:21Hi.
19:22How are you?
19:23Good.
19:23Lucas Humphrey.
19:24Mm-hmm.
19:25My kid, Dan, goes to St. Jude's, and he really should have been selected as third.
19:29It's usher.
19:29Maybe there was a mix-up, some kind of a glitch in the system.
19:32I'd like to believe that, because I'd like to believe the best in people.
19:34I'm sorry, Mr. Humphrey.
19:36The usher positions have been filled.
19:37There's nothing we can do.
19:39Is there anything else?
19:41Any other positions?
19:42Uh, you'll have to discuss this with our committee chairwoman.
19:45Sure, perfect.
19:46I'd love to.
19:46Where can I find her?
19:47I'm not sure.
19:48She must be running late.
19:50Oh, there she is now.
19:55Why am I not surprised?
19:57Lucky for you.
19:57She seems to be in a good mood.
20:00Until she sees me.
20:03Rufus.
20:04Told ya.
20:04Excuse me?
20:05You got a minute, Mel?
20:08Not for you.
20:19You're in.
20:21What?
20:21The Ivy Week party tonight.
20:23Your name will be on the program and everything.
20:25You got me the Dartmouth spot?
20:27I knew you could do it, Dan.
20:28No, you didn't.
20:30And no, I didn't.
20:30How do you feel about the refreshment committee?
20:32Well, there is no refreshment committee.
20:34Not until now.
20:35Oh, God.
20:37What?
20:37Everybody gets thirsty.
20:38It's really a position of power.
20:39How did you secure me this prominent and simultaneously embarrassing position?
20:42By offering my own services.
20:44You're serving snacks?
20:47I'm the head of the entertainment committee.
20:51Another committee that didn't exist until you left the house today.
20:54Wait a minute, Dad.
20:55Wait, so who's the entertainment?
20:56Since it was such short notice, the only person I could get was myself.
21:01Kind of a stayed affair for early 90s post-punk meth rock, don't you think?
21:05I'm bringing a couple of the guys.
21:07It'll be Rufus unplugged.
21:08Need a roadie?
21:09Thanks, sweetie.
21:10Should I call Mom and we can just make this a full-fledged Humphrey affair?
21:13Look, I did the best I could.
21:16At least you get to officially be a part of this thing.
21:18You can talk to that author you love.
21:21Ask him anything you want.
21:22Like his preference for soft drinks?
21:23You can get it all anxious, sweetie, if you feel light-headed or canicky.
21:31I'll be fine, Mom.
21:32All I have to do is be normal.
21:35Or at least act normal.
21:37Works for Mom.
21:38Do you see the Yale rep?
22:00I thought you wanted to go to Brown and Blair wanted to go to Yale.
22:03Yeah, I know.
22:13My father would never forgive me if I didn't introduce myself.
22:16He says that you two used to do crew together.
22:18Crew?
22:19Oh, hi.
22:20I'm Sarana Vanderwoodson.
22:22But I didn't know you were interested in doing crew.
22:24I'm not.
22:25I was just saying that there's a family connection because my father...
22:27But I didn't know you were interested in athletics at all.
22:29Well, especially ones where you might get your hair wet.
22:31But she's really more of an indoors type of girl.
22:35Oh, my goodness.
22:36Your glass is almost empty.
22:37Let's get you a drink.
22:38Uh, no.
22:39I'll take him.
22:40Oh, don't worry about it.
22:41So tell me about Yale.
22:50Can you please explain how Serena's commandeering the Yale rep while you're supposed to be his
22:54usher?
22:55I switched.
22:56I'm trying to get into Princeton.
23:01I'll don't get you La Perla's in a bunch.
23:03Look who's arrived.
23:05Dr. Ostroff.
23:06Blair, Dr. Donald Ostroff.
23:07Interesting choice of guests, Bea.
23:09Such a pleasure.
23:10I've heard such wonderful guests.
23:12Coincidence?
23:13I think not.
23:17I like your book.
23:19Oh, thanks.
23:20What did you think of the epilogue?
23:21Some people really love it.
23:24The New York Times called it a chief cop-out.
23:27Warner Brothers is making the movie.
23:28I think they're going to change the end.
23:30Well, I can see how the ending might not seem all that commercial.
23:33Would you like some of your drink?
23:39Bowie.
23:40Oh, Bart, hello.
23:42How are you?
23:44Hey, Eric.
23:46How's Miami?
23:49It's good.
23:49Thanks.
23:51You know, go Marlins.
23:52Would you excuse me, please?
23:56So the neuroscience project I'm working on involves the cellular signaling pathway of neuronal nitric oxide synthase.
24:01It's initiated when glue may find stand-up TR.
24:07Hi.
24:08You're Eric, right?
24:10Yeah, you're Jenny.
24:10Dan's sister, right?
24:12Yeah, we met at...
24:13Pendles.
24:14Yeah, I remember.
24:15Oh, cool.
24:16Eric, good to see you.
24:18You enjoy Miami?
24:19Uh, yeah.
24:21Save the manatees.
24:21Manatees?
24:26It's a long story.
24:27I've got time.
24:29It's a little dark.
24:31I can handle it.
24:33You want to go to Yale, then?
24:35No, Brown.
24:36It's just the same Blair.
24:38Yeah, I get it.
24:40I mean, since you don't have to actually worry about getting into college,
24:43why not make the entire evening about screwing over Blair?
24:48No, thanks.
24:51Hey.
24:51Wait, you're seriously not going to talk to me?
24:58Like, literally not speak?
25:01Hey.
25:04Oh, much better.
25:07Thanks, guys.
25:08So, um, what's he like?
25:16Like, uh, Dartmouth English lit professor I have nothing in common with.
25:20Guess I could tell him how everything I have I got, because I'm an Archibald.
25:24You should mention Dr. Seuss.
25:30Theodore Geisel is his real name.
25:32He went to Dartmouth.
25:33Uh, Hall said he got the idea for the penning zoo from the Lorax.
25:36The what?
25:36Um, you know what, never mind.
25:39Just mention how his prose style is influenced by early Faulkner.
25:43He'll be all right.
25:45Uh, or not.
25:47I was actually going to get some fresh air.
25:52How about you take these over to him?
25:57All right.
25:59Yeah, I guess I could leave my post unmanned for a minute or two.
26:02Where do you think you're going?
26:25Home.
26:26I don't think so.
26:27Now you get back out there and you finish what you started.
26:29You mean what you started?
26:30I don't want to go to Dartmouth.
26:32There, I said it.
26:34Now back off.
26:39So, we moved into the hotel and, uh, it was just the two of us.
26:45And I was really lonely.
26:47So, that's when you...
26:54So, I ended up at the Ostrov Center.
26:56My mom says that they have the best counselors.
26:58But what they really get paid for is to keep their mouths shut.
27:01Okay.
27:02I won't say anything.
27:05I promise.
27:10So, do you want to go back in?
27:13Yeah, and answer more questions about Florida?
27:14Well, I have a grandma who lives in Fort Myers.
27:16I can help think of some material.
27:18I can help think of some material.
27:26May I please have everyone's attention?
27:30Welcome again to the Constance Miller St. Jude's Ivy Week mixer.
27:33I'm Blair Waldorf, chair of the Community Outreach Committee.
27:37Every year, our schools choose to support one local institution that we feel benefits our community.
27:48This year, our schools have chosen to honor the Ostrov Center.
27:52This semester, our choice is a very personal one.
28:03Because the center has helped one of our own.
28:05What is going on here?
28:06It's because of their excellent program which aids so many young addicts and alcoholics that a student here with us today is clean and sober.
28:16At least for now.
28:18Can I please have Serena Vanderwood to join me on stage?
28:22Spotted at the Ivy Week mixer, S&B's last stand.
28:27And only one gets out alive.
28:29Better take cover.
28:30Please tell me this isn't happening.
28:35It's not.
28:36No, it's too.
28:37You're not going up there.
28:38You're going to stay right here, okay?
28:41Whatever you're doing, think about who's standing in this room right now.
28:50Don't try to deny Chuck saw you.
28:59Hi.
28:59I'm Serena Vanderwoodson.
29:03I just want to thank my friend, Blair Waldorf, for recognizing the Ostrov Center and all of the good things that they do.
29:12Thanks, Blair.
29:17At the center, one of the main things that we learn is forgiveness.
29:22She's in rehab.
29:23No, it's not her.
29:24It's her brother who's there.
29:25What?
29:26You can't tell anybody, okay?
29:27I won't, but why is she doing this?
29:29About how in order to move forward with our future, we must forgive those who have wronged us in the past.
29:38And we must ourselves ask for forgiveness from those whom we've wronged.
29:43Without this forgiveness, innocent people get hurt.
29:47All right.
29:47Thank you, Serena.
29:50Honesty may be the best policy in some zip codes, but not in this one.
29:54And not this week.
29:56Because I was a teenage drug addict is not exactly a winning college essay.
30:04And now, can I please have Dr. Ostrov join me on stage?
30:07Why is Blair outing you for a drug problem that you don't have?
30:12You don't, do you?
30:13Mom.
30:14Well, it's not like we have some free, open relationship.
30:16And that's my fault?
30:18Look, what's happened to Eric has put a huge strain on our family.
30:21But we are still a family.
30:25Why do you think I did what I just did?
30:29Will you excuse me?
30:32I'm going to go in this with Blair.
30:34Now.
30:34Blair, what the hell was that?
30:43Will you excuse us, please?
30:44Sure.
30:47So we good now?
30:49We square?
30:50No.
30:51Because nothing I do will ever be as bad as what you did to me.
30:54Look, I'm asking you, please.
30:57I'll stop if you will.
30:58You're just saying that because today you lost.
31:01And you're going to keep losing.
31:02Now if you'll excuse me, unlike you, I have a future to get back to.
31:19Serena.
31:20Serena.
31:21What?
31:22What, do you want to congratulate me on destroying my future?
31:24No, no, no, no.
31:25I just wanted to ask you for your cake.
31:26That's what you did in there for your brother.
31:28That was, that was very cool.
31:30Wait, how did you know about my brother?
31:32It's okay.
31:34Really, no one will ever hear it from me.
31:37But if you ever need anybody to talk to, or not talk to, I'd be happy to do either.
31:46I'll keep that in mind.
31:47And, um, I know I said some things about you and your world, and I'm sorry.
31:58Obviously, I don't know anything about your life.
32:05But I've really got to get out of here.
32:07Yeah, sure, sure.
32:08But, maybe, you know, I can take you up on that getting together and not talking thing sometime.
32:18Will you call me?
32:21Yeah.
32:28Okay, let's go.
32:30Let's get out of here.
32:31There's someone I need to talk to first.
32:32Please, Mom, I can do this.
32:36Okay.
32:39Blair, can I talk to you?
32:40Just take a moment.
32:41Sure.
32:43Sure.
32:43Sure.
32:50Serena's not a patient at the Ostrov Center.
32:52Eric, you've always been a sweet kid, and I can understand you trying to protect your sister.
32:56I am.
32:58I've never even seen you take a drink.
32:59I'm not an alcoholic.
33:00I did this.
33:06And today, Serena protected me.
33:13Eric, I didn't...
33:15See that coming?
33:16Yeah.
33:18That must be a shock for someone who thinks she knows everything.
33:27What was that all about?
33:28Another bomb lands in Blair's lap.
33:32Will she use it as ammunition?
33:34Or will she finally surrender and put down her arms?
33:37Nothing.
33:44See, you really impressed the guy, huh?
33:47Must be the way you poured those sodas.
33:49Yeah, I know I may have been a little light on the gratitude.
33:58Yeah, a touch.
34:00But I appreciate it.
34:01All of it.
34:04Even if I sometimes don't show it.
34:06We're real men, son.
34:07We don't like to share our feelings.
34:08But I know what you're capable of.
34:15And nothing.
34:17My last name, my bank account, is going to keep you from getting what you deserve.
34:23What if I can help it?
34:26And I see that Dartmouth has an electroacoustic music program.
34:29What do you think of me applying?
34:30What?
34:32Yeah, and Jenny's smart.
34:33Get her early admission.
34:34Maybe we'll all go.
34:35So not remotely funny.
34:50Nate.
34:57Hello?
35:01Oh, yeah, I'll be right there.
35:02Where the hell could you possibly have to be right now?
35:06I'm waiting for a run with my dad.
35:10Who's Jessica?
35:12Uh, Jersey girls.
35:15Let's just say they're the Princeton Tigers for a reason.
35:20All right, I'll see you.
35:25Feeling good?
35:25You feeling good?
35:26All right.
35:27Hey, good to see you, son.
35:30It turns out Jed's a runner, too.
35:31I would have never mentioned it if I knew he was going to get me out here this early.
35:35I'm glad to see you're feeling better, Nate.
35:36I was just telling Jed about your little bout of food poisoning last night.
35:39What do you say, kiddo?
35:41You want to show him how it's done?
35:42Let's go.
35:44Nate is the captain of his lacrosse team, as well as being an all-star cross-country runner.
35:48Hi.
35:49Hey.
35:50Um, is it okay that I'm here?
36:03Yeah, hi.
36:04Um, will your mom be mad?
36:05Uh, will your mom be mad?
36:06That you're here?
36:08That would require her stopping by.
36:09Saturday mornings are spent at Bliss, and after last night, I think she could use some extra
36:14time on the massage table.
36:15Well, here.
36:20Somebody has an admirer.
36:21They're for my sister.
36:23From the brown rep.
36:24Um, apparently his cousin did some time here in his youth.
36:27Well, that's good, right?
36:28I mean, at least her entire future isn't blown.
36:31I don't think that's making her feel a whole lot better right now.
36:49Whenever something's bothering you, I can always find you here.
36:55You here for another catfight?
36:58What's that?
37:03A letter?
37:05I wrote it to you when you were away at boarding school.
37:08I never sent it.
37:13Dear Serena, my world is falling apart, and you're the only one who would understand.
37:21My father left my mother for a 31-year-old model.
37:26A male model.
37:28I feel like screaming because I don't have anyone to talk to.
37:35You're gone.
37:38My dad's gone.
37:40Nate's acting weird.
37:43Where are you?
37:43Why don't you call?
37:44Why don't you call?
37:50Why don't you leave without saying goodbye?
37:52You're supposed to be my best friend.
37:54I miss you so much.
37:55I miss you so much.
38:00I'll split.
38:00Why don't you leave without saying goodbye.
38:07Why don't you leave without saying goodbye?
38:08You would have what?
38:12You know, Serena.
38:13And you didn't even call.
38:16I didn't know what to say to you, or even how to be your friend after what I did.
38:23I'm so sorry.
38:33Eric told me what happened.
38:35I guess your family's been going through a hard time, too.
38:41Spotted in Central Park, two white flags waving.
38:45Could an Upper East Side peace accord be far off?
38:49So what will it be?
38:50Truths or consequences?
38:52We all know one nation can't have two queens.
38:56What happens next?
38:57Only time will tell.
38:59XOXO, Gossip Girl.
