    I said the last episode was a sign of improvement, but this episode was just a step in the entirely wrong direction. The Dan & Serena relationship has become so tired, and even though the whole "sharing a sibling" thing was scandalous, I just could not stand the story line.

    The final scene really saved the entire episode what with Blair rejecting Chuck, and the whole Van Der Woodsen/Humphrey clan coming together, but the episode overall was quite a disappointment.

    The characters are just not likable, at least not nearly as likable as how they were before. Any charm this show had when it started is now gone. The story lines are contrived, and it's just almost unbearable sometimes. I'm only sticking around for the return of Georgina but if this show doesn't pick up by then, I'm done with it.moreless

    What can I say about this episode it was kind of strange, complicated, and nerve wrecking episode. During the whole episode I felt so sad and miserable for the characters, especially for Chuck who once again proved he keeps being the same disoriented guy and will definitely go down hill without Blair's support. As for Dan and Serena to go through the same conflicts again was painful to watch, but thank God at the end it seemed like they survived it in most mature and positive way for the first time. Now as for Lily and Rufus I definitely don't like them as a couple, the whole parents and kids together makes it kind of odd, but lets see how it works out. As for the missing kid even if they were falsely told I know they'll bring it up later on the show, that's definitely gone catch up eventually. Hope everything works out for all of them and we get a better episode next time. xoxomoreless

    I loved all the drama. I so called that the dad was lying about the kid being dead, and I can't wait to see where that goes. I was so happy to see serina's mom hook up with rufus. They are a good couple. I can't believe that chucks uncle mess up his life like that and he deserves blair being mad at him. He really screwed her over when she has stayed by him through everything. I can't wait to see if chucks fights back out gives up and goes about his chuck ways. I think that this season is just getting good and I can't wait to see where it goes.moreless

    As much as I don't like Jack, I like Desmond Harrington and the dialogues between Jack and regular characters, especially Chuck. Some lines are pretty funny, others pretty classy. I can't say that I like this episode, although it wasn't a total waste of time. Why we see Chace Crawford lesser and lesser? I kinda miss his character (oops! I kinda have already forgot his name. wait.. remembered!) Nate. Why Serena and Dan need to be so boring. If I could, I skip a lot of episode with them. Hmmm.. what da hell happened between Chuck and Blair. I can't really figure it out. On one hand we assume that she had some date with Jack on NY (maybe even more than once), on other hand she's keeping to run after Chuck and then to push away him like in the beginning of this season. I can't understand if these two things are related, I mean Jack and Chuck. As a matter of fact I think that Jack is one clever jackass and maybe in different conditions I would accept that, but knowing that he's screwing Chuck, it's unacceptable for me. And how long will Chuck be in such a pain because of his father? Hey guys, it's becoming kinda boring for us, at least for me. Waiting for next Monday.moreless

    • Serena: There's got to be some sort of precedent for this kind of thing, right? Dan: Exactly. In literature, you've got Toni Morrison, the Russian aristocrats before they all became hemophiliacs... Serena: Or Clueless! Alicia Silverstone's character dated her ex-stepbrother and they made it work. That's super skeevy! Dan: Thanks that makes me feel so much better! Edit
    • Blair: (to Nate) I wouldn't have come to this party if I knew I wasn't VIP. Nate: The important thing is that Chuck knows we're here for him. Edit
