May I have this dance?

Serena has no intention of attending the upcoming Debutante Ball, until her grandmother, CeCe, announces that she has to. Dan is not what CeCe wants as an escort for Serena, and she makes her opinion heard loud and clear, causing a riff between Serena and Dan. Although they are officially broken up, Nate asks Blair to go to the ball with him. She accepts but only as friends. Then a jealous Nate begins to suspect that Blair is seeing someone else. Jenny finds herself with the decision of either attending her mother's art opening or following her dreams to the Debutante Ball, even though her parents don't want her to go. Read full recap »

Gossip Girl: (scene cuts to Lily looking at Dan and Serena) It's often said that no matter the truth, people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture, all along. (scene cuts to CeCe taking prescription pills) Some people might see that their lies have almost caught up to them. (scene cuts to Nate and Blair in bed) Some people may see what was there all along. (scene cuts to Chuck with baggages walking to his limo) And then there are those other people, the ones who run as far as they can so they don't have to look at themselves.
Chauffer: Where to, Mr. Bass?
Chuck: (looks at the picture of Blair and Nate on the newspaper) The airport.
Gossip Girl: And as for me, I can see clearly now. XOXO Gossip Girl. edit »
