    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!

    • 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.

    • Gossip Girl: (closing voiceover) The problem with inheritance, is that it's not always as simple as it sounds. Sometimes you get more than you bargained for. Or you discover that in gaining one thing, you've lost something else. But every once in a while, the fates smile upon you, and you get the one thing you really need. XOXO. Gossip Girl.

    • Blair: (to Chuck) I believed in you. Your father believed in you. You're the only one that didn't. All I wanted to do is just be there but today when you called me your wife, made it sound like the ugliest word in the world.

    • Gossip Girl: Hold on to your floppy cable-knit hats, kids. Lonely Boy's secret is out and this one's a doozie. D wasn't cheating, but there's definitely a third party involved. Seems D and S share a sibling. While I'm always a fan of star-crossed lovers, at least Romeo and Juliet didn't share DNA.

    • Blair: (to Serena) Spare me those expressive eyebrows. I can't wait til you get botox.

    • Penelope: You stole Dan Humphrey's phone? Not bad, Nelly, at this rate you'll be off probation before your second marriage.

    • Chuck: Your blessing means a lot to me. Jack: Good. Now before we start spooning, I want to take you out tonight to properly celebrate.

    • Vanessa: Hey, I'm thinking one pink can of gummy worms and another of Swedish fish. Dan: Is this how you and Nate want to celebrate two months of dating? With all things gummy?

    • Serena: I see they act alone now. Blair: (looking at Penelope, Isabel and Hazel) It's so hard finding obedient minions.

    • Serena: (reading Gossip Girl on Blair's phone) Nothing yet on Lonely Boy though we did find out he brown-bags it for lunch and today's plat du jour, a tuna sandwich. Disgusting but not enough for a conviction. Keep digging, kiddies. Blair: Tuna fish? Why does he make it so hard for himself?

    • Blair: (to Serena) Apparently, Gossip Girl is looking for evidence that Dan's cheating on you. Not that anyone else would ever want Dan Humphrey. No offence.

    • Jack: (talking about Chuck on the phone) What do you say we throw him a party to celebrate his running the company. Blair: Why not celebrate Bart dieing, that would be just as tasteless.

    • Chuck: Look, I owe you a lot Jack. You saved my life when I didn't want to be saved. Jack: Well, you noticed that Thai waitress I was going to take on the other night had a penis. Consider us even.

    • Gossip Girl: (voiceover) Is lowly Lonely Boy cheating on our queen? Sound unlikely? Does the name Georgina ring a bell? Get out your shovels and start digging the dirt, kids. Gossip Girl's gonna need a little help getting to the bottom of this mess.

    • Serena: (talking about Lily) She usually is pretty honest about these things. Well a little too honest, actually. Supposedly Sarkozy was a bad kisser. Dan: Yeah, well, that's a relief. Not the thing about Sarkozy. That's kind of disappointing.

    • Jenny: (to Erik and Jonathan) Oh, did you guys know that you have matching backpacks? It's so cute.

    • Blair: Your dad wrote you a letter? You have to read it. Nate: Yeah. Aren't you curious to know what it says? Chuck: I think I can guess. You're a disappointment of a son. I'd die of embarrassment if I wasn't already. Why do you wear so much purple?

    • Lawyer: Now Charles, your Uncle Jack Bass is your closest living relative and, as such, has been named as your legal guardian. Are you comfortable with this? Chuck: (to Jack) Curfew? Jack: None. Chuck: Girls sleeping over? Jack: Yes, please. Chuck: I'll allow it.

    • Jack: Come out with me tonight. Blair: I told you I'm not interested. Jack: Didn't seem that way on New Year's. Blair: Whatever may have transpired between us, what's important is what it means to me. Which is nothing.

    • Gossip Girl: (opening voiceover) When most people lose a parent, they inherit sorrow, loss and a closet full of outdated clothes. But on the Upper East Side, death's sad chapter comes with a silver lining, or a gold one, if your relatives invested wisely in precious metals.
