GOSSIP GIRL: Gossip Girl here, your one and only source...
...into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.
VANESSA: Someone set Tripp up to look like a hero.
WILLIAM: You. - This couldn't have worked any better.
My husband is a congressman.
SERENA: I've had a crush on him.
Now I don't know if I can trust myself around him.
Something happened the night of the wedding.
I think we're all aware of what happened that night.
I think we got a solid 14 out of 15.
OLIVIA: I am not going with just one more to go.
WOMAN: Where has she been?
GOSSIP GIRL: And who am I?
That's one secret I'll never tell.
You know you love me. XOXO...
...Gossip Girl.
GOSSIP GIRL: As a famed literary liar once told Oprah:
"Memory is subjective."
Top of the morning.
- Up top. Yeah, there it is. MAN: Huh?
GOSSIP GIRL: Memories can be embellished. Or denied.
[MACHINE BEEPS OVER PHONE]
Hey, Blair, I don't know what you think you saw...
...between me and Tripp, but nothing is happening.
GOSSIP GIRL: But as James Frey knows all too well, the truth always comes out.
This is my 30th message I don't wanna fight anymore.
Please call me. Here comes message 31.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Ugh. I don't converse with liars or Lewinskys.
Come on, Blair, you don't know that you saw anything.
In the second grade, I saw our gym teacher...
...giving Laverne Glazer's mom the glad eye.
Not only did it earn me the first A-plus-plus for gym in Constance history...
...I learned that my sexual-tension radar is unparalleled.
Point ceded. So is beatnik back?
Ew. No. I'm adding new recruits to my student army.
At NYU, no one cares if your forefathers made pumpkin pie at Plymouth.
They only care if they made profits at Paramount.
Ah, the Tisch kids.
Spawn of moguls and movie stars.
Yesterday I sent a first edition No Exit script to their leader, Paul Hoffman.
Today, I'll secure the alliance. Care to tag along?
Oh. I'd love to.
But a high ranking diplomat has asked me to show his son around New York.
I need to build up my continental clientele...
...so it looks like I'm Statue of Liberty-bound.
Oh, the sacrifices we make for success.
We'll think of a way to make your day less boring later.
NATE: A threesome? - Oh, yeah.
Just me, Olivia, Vanessa. Two girls, four boobs, one Dan Humphrey.
- How awesome am I? - Oh. How stupid can you be?
- What? - Buddy, okay, I know things.
I've been to Europe. Chuck Bass is my best friend.
[DAN GROANS]
All right. The third person is supposed to be a stranger.
The fact it was Vanessa's what made it fun.
Problem is, during a threesome...
...there's always a twosome and a onesome going on.
You know what, the onesome was not so bad.
Okay, you may've enjoyed the show.
Vanessa is very vocal. Couldn't have been easy for Olivia to hear all that.
Olivia was fine. We talked the next morning.
And so is Vanessa. I mean, I haven't really seen her much, but I'm sure she is.
- Why are you being such a buzz-kill? - You're lucky to have them in your life.
Not only do I not have a girlfriend...
...ever since Serena and I stopped speaking, I don't have a girl friend either.
You had both, and you blew it.
I did not. I did not.
In fact, you know what, there she is. My still-best friend.
Ah. Perfect.
- Abrams. - Hey, Dan.
I've barely seen you this week.
Feel like you've been avoiding me since...
No, no, not at all.
Tonight at the Bowery I think Morrissey is playing.
So you wanna go, just the two us, for old times' sake?
Yeah, I'd love it.
- So I'll see you tonight? - Yeah, of course, yeah.
- Sorry. - Ha, ha.
Well, that didn't seem awkward at all.
Everything is... It's fine. It really is.
Give me a call if you need me. Which you will.
[DAN CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY]
PAUL: Gaga's a Tisch alumna.
Even if she doesn't wanna give a concert at the Bleecker...
...at least show me the courtesy of writing back.
You talking about Lady Gaga?
No, Blair. I'm talking about Gaga Ahmadinejad, first lady of Iran.
[CROWD LAUGHS]
That's funny.
You know who likes sarcasm?
My stepfather, Cyrus Rose, big-time entertainment lawyer.
Maybe he could talk her into doing a show?
Blair, we all know who my father is. And this girl here is Willa Weinstein.
If our fathers can't help us...
...I doubt Cyrus Rose, whom I've never heard of, can.
[CROWD LAUGHS]
What are you guys doing for cabaret tonight?
Fairy-tale theme is hard. Don't wanna be trite.
Cabaret? I love cabaret. And fairy tales.
Princesses. Queens.
Sorry, Blair, it's my cabaret, and it's by invitation only.
All the spots are filled by serious theater students.
I don't care how much money they're offering.
K.C., Bitches of Eastwick is a terrible idea.
It's like Heathers, but with witches.
Ever since EK4 isn't happening, she's literally pushing me to take anything.
Yeah, well, I thought... I'd hoped that you'd stick around now.
Well, that's my plan.
I'm so happy here.
- With my classes and I have you. - And Vanessa.
And Vanessa.
And if I wanna act, I can do it here at NYU...
...with the best theater department in the country.
Absolutely. You know, speaking of Tisch, tell me if I'm crazy...
...I was thinking of applying to the playwriting program for next year.
- Dan, I don't think that's crazy at all. - I'd have to write a play by Christmas.
- I'll help you tonight. - I would love that.
But Vanessa and I are gonna see Morrissey at the Bowery.
It's a tradition since 7th grade.
We wear tight shirts, we throw gladiolus on stage.
Um, it's okay, right?
Yes. Of course. It's tradition.
I'm gonna grab a coffee, okay? I'll see you later.
Okay, uh...
All right, I thought we were gonna grab coffee together.
[SIGHS]
LILY: What about Brad Alexander?
His mother said he's single.
Uh, because he gave six girls from Nightingale...
...gonorrhea of the throat last year. LILY: Ah!
- Okay. - What are you doing?
Trying to find Jenny a date for the Horticultural Society Gala.
Don't worry, Dad, I'm over Upper East Side guys.
I'm looking to expand my horizons.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
LILY: Charles, how are you?
Can I get you a cup of coffee?
Thanks, I'm on my way to the planetarium.
- I was just dropping off those papers. - Thank you.
Did Chuck Bass just say he was going to the planetarium?
I'm entertaining a hotel guest. Son of an ambassador.
He's waiting in the foyer.
Well, maybe Jenny could show him around.
You did say you wanted to expand your horizons.
Uh...
Yeah, I can do it.
But you owe me.
With pleasure.
What is gonorrhea of the throat?
Olivia. Just the starlet I was hoping to find.
Hi, Blair.
Dorota need to use my outlet for your towel warmer again?
Actually, I have a question. How do I win over shallow, superficial actors?
Calling them shallow and superficial didn't work?
I'm serious. They're all doing this cabaret thing tonight.
I wasn't even invited.
Not that I have anything to perform.
Well, you're in luck. I was invited.
I guess being a movie star has a certain cachet.
I may have read that at the dentist.
More importantly, I am dating a guy who needs an opportunity to write a play.
He'll just need to clear his schedule first.
Hey, Tripp. Uh, how are you?
I was just leaving you a note about the Observer article.
Oh. Great.
I thought you wouldn't be here.
Which is what it said on your schedule.
Right. Um, my meeting ended early.
Good. Then you'll have time to read my note.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
You know, this really shouldn't be so awkward.
And it won't be for too long.
Big move to D.C. Tomorrow.
I thought that wasn't until January.
Maureen wanted to be there for the holidays. Parties. Networking.
It's probably for the best, though.
I've been pretty distracted.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, tell me about it.
Last week...
Nothing happened.
Then why does it feel like it did?
Maybe we should just avoid, uh, each other until you leave.
Yeah.
There you two are.
[MAUREEN CHUCKLES]
Honey, I just found out they had to move the freshman spouses' luncheon.
So I'd have to leave in an hour. Is that okay?
Of course. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll have Jeanne finish packing.
But all that's left is the home office.
Serena should help you.
There's some private family stuff and I trust you.
Um...
That's not really in Serena's job description.
She doesn't mind. Do you?
Now, who wants to take their favorite wife to brunch?
GOSSIP GIRL: Don't forget yourself, congressman.
Your marriage could wind up in a million little pieces.
Mom, I know how much you love Grandfather. I get it.
It's not like I haven't forgiven my father a few times...
...but do not let him manipulate you.
He was the one behind the Hudson thing. Who else could it be?
SERENA: Hello? Nate?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Yeah, I'd love to hear your new information, but listen, I gotta go.
I'll call you later, okay?
I know I'm not your favorite person right now.
But it's me, Nate. And there's no one else I can talk to about this.
Uh...
I think I may be about to get involved with a married man.
Why am I the only one you can talk to?
Because it's Tripp.
[SIGHS]
- Vanessa. Hey. - Hey.
I figured you'd be back to get clean clothes at some point.
Ha, ha. Yeah, I know. We've barely seen each other.
Dan and I have just been busy, you know?
So you're not avoiding me because of the whole...
What? Oh, my God, uh, no. Come on. No.
Great. Because I was totally freaking out before I ran into Dan this morning.
But he was the same old Dan.
You know, tonight we're going to, like, our fifth Morrissey show?
And I still have tickets from our first one in 7th grade.
[VANESSA CHUCKLES]
Actually, I feel really bad about that. Um...
A month ago, I signed Dan and me up for the Bleecker Inn cabaret.
And it's tonight.
Um, we would totally blow it off, but Dan wants to apply to Tisch...
...and it's just really great exposure for him.
- Oh. Yeah. - Okay.
Sorry about Morrissey.
I just don't get it. I mean, Tripp, really?
Two months ago you were all over Carter.
Tripp has sacrificed so much to get where he is.
I mean, we all have.
He can't just throw it away for you.
Yeah, and he's fighting it. And so am I.
I can literally feel my heart thump when I see him.
I haven't felt this way since I was 13, with Jude Law in Alfie.
Yeah, well, you're not 13 anymore, Serena.
You know, I thought that whatever happened between us...
...I could still count on you, but I guess I was wrong.
Hey.
[NATE SIGHS]
You're right. I'm sorry. You can count on me always.
So Belgium, huh?
I bet they have really good waffles.
- My family's really into waffles. - I've barely tasted them.
We left when I was 4 so my father could work on the Oslo Accord.
He worked on the Oslo Accord? That sounds major.
Yeah, clearly more major than being a father, but... Heh.
Right. So, what do you wanna do?
There's the Boathouse for lunch, or we could walk on over to Jean Georges.
You know, I have a plan.
It'll be fun.
Oh, my God. Don't look now, but those are the Chapin mean girls.
Hi.
[SINGSONGY] They're gonna die of jealousy.
[IN NORMAL VOICE] Uh... Toy sailboats? Really? Come on.
That might be cool in Belgium, but in Manhattan only little kids do that.
[GIRLS LAUGHING]
You have eight hours to write and rehearse your re-imagined fairy tale before tech.
Lots of Tisch faculty and alums will be there. Plus my legit agent.
So please, don't embarrass me. Good luck.
- See? - Yeah, you're right, you're right.
This is gonna be a great opportunity.
- So which fairy tale do you think we...? - Totally Snow White.
Sorry I'm late.
[DAN CHUCKLES]
- All right, what is she doing here? - Silly.
I'm the producer, costar and director.
Yeah, it was her idea, actually.
BLAIR: My brilliant idea.
A musical featuring the songs of Tisch alumna Lady Gaga.
Paul loves his Gaga.
I'm gonna go pick his brain about what songs he'd think work best thematically.
Okay, um, what's going on here?
Want me to cancel on Vanessa, who's gonna be furious...
...to write a Snow White-Lady Gaga musical to be directed by Blair Waldorf?
Listen, I know that her idea is kind of out of the box.
But if you pull this off, everyone's gonna be talking about it.
And I talked to Vanessa, she's totally cool about tonight.
Wait. So you already told her?
I ran into her in our room and she was fine, I promise.
CHUCK [ON MACHINE]: Leave a message and I might listen to it.
Could you find another way to drum up business?
Belgian bore's been playing in the park for the past half-hour with his dinghy.
And I have a reputation.
- All right. All set. - What now? Balloon animals?
By the way, you took the wrong boat.
Uh, no, actually, this is the one with the cash.
- Mine had the E in it. - What?
Sorry if I was boring you.
You still wanna get some lunch, we can go find those Chapin girls?
DAN [OVER PHONE]: I had plans with Vanessa tonight, right?
But Olivia signed me up to do this cabaret thing with her. And Blair.
Oh, yeah. It's post-threesome stage one.
Wherein one, if not both, girls try to prove to the other...
...who you belong to. - What do I do?
You prove to Olivia you and Vanessa are just friends...
...despite the fact that you've seen each other's business.
NATE [OVER PHONE]: You good?
DAN: Yeah, thanks, man. - All right, later.
Oh. Dan. Girl problems. You don't even wanna know.
You're everyone's therapist today.
Affairs with married people, love triangles.
Everyone's problems are well within my area of expertise.
[LAUGHS]
Okay, you ready?
[SIGHS]
[DIALING PHONE]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Serena, hey.
What do you like on your pizza?
Actually, I'm not coming over.
I had a feeling you'd call.
I can't say I'm not disappointed though.
Come on, Tripp, you know it's not a good idea for us to be alone all night.
No, you're right.
I don't wanna go without saying goodbye.
Could we maybe just get some lunch?
Lunch? Yeah, l... You know l...
Um... I actually don't think that I can. But travel safe, congressman. Bye.
Good. I'm gonna be here to keep you strong.
Until Tripp leaves, I'm not gonna let you out of my sight.
Mr. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Archibald is here to see you.
My aunt?
I'm kind of busy. Can she come back later?
She said it was important.
- I thought you had a play to write. - Sorry about Morrissey.
I told Olivia this morning I wanted to apply to Tisch...
...and so she saw this cabaret thing and she signed us up.
- Wait, this morning? - Yeah.
It had nothing to do with our plans. This is a big opportunity for me.
- Of course. - Yeah, so I'm gonna need your help.
DAN: Inspired by Miss Gaga's lyrics, I've written a satirical commentary...
...about fame, glamour and society's obsession with their shiny new thing.
Humphrey, I'm surprised. This isn't horrible.
You play the aging queen.
A fading but talented rock star who's earned her success.
Snow White. Up-and-comer trying to steal the queen's thunder...
...by being outrageous and sexy.
- I like it. DAN: Yeah.
Amalia, Sophie, twins, you're the struggling dwarf boy band.
I'll be Prince of Charming Records trying to find his star.
So, you know, I think it kind of works.
Don't get too cocky. We still have your sub-par acting to deal with.
Let's meet back here in half an hour. Everyone off book so I can block.
Actually, I found a more experienced director. More suited for the project.
- Julie Taymor? - Close.
- No. - Vanessa?
V. I'm so stupid for not thinking of you earlier.
We're so lucky to have you to bring Dan's amazing words to life.
Wait until you read this.
I already did. Dan always shows me early drafts of his work.
Well, you know, I had to get her on board. Show her something.
Great. If you need any pointers, I've worked with some of the best directors.
Sure. If I wanna turn anyone into a bat, I'll let you know. Thank you.
- Dan. - Yeah.
When girls live together sometimes their cycles sync up.
No hormones, not yours or theirs, will get in the way of my cabaret.
It'll be fine, Blair.
What exactly does an Upper East Side queen do?
Wear designer clothes, boss people around?
No.
Go to parties and openings and stuff.
Where you wear designer clothes and boss people around.
Heh. Sounds like kind of a yawn.
Well, yeah, I guess compared to being an international drug dealer.
What's the deal with that? You don't need money, your dad's an ambassador.
Which means we don't have to go through customs.
They don't search our bags when we come in.
I have the added satisfaction of knowing my father would suffer...
...if I were to be caught.
A little bit of danger is what makes life worth living.
And you had your very first taste today, Queen Jenny.
It was kind of thrilling.
If you mean that, some friends are gonna meet me later to refuel my boat.
You in?
SERENA: High school was so much easier.
NATE: Yeah, in some ways.
SERENA: Well, I wasn't attracted to married men.
- But I was. Well, not men, obviously. - Ha-ha-ha. Mm-hm. Lady Catherine.
My first experience being a fake girlfriend.
Who knew I'd do it as a profession?
If it makes you feel better, you were a great fake girlfriend. You got...
[NATE LAUGHS]
It's like all over your... No, no, it's like you got... Ew.
- Ha-ha-ha. Okay. - It's like, just... Here, stop.
- You're good. Yeah. - Thank you. Ha, ha.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Oh. It's, uh... It's Tripp.
- Oh, you can't. - But what if it's important?
Serena, just give me the phone.
You can't talk about him or think about him or see him.
Gonna tie me to a chair until his plane leaves?
I'm gonna take you on a bar crawl and we're gonna get drunk, okay?
Like really, really drunk.
- Deal? - Ha, ha. Deal. You're the best.
[CHUCKLES]
Snow, have this apple martini before your VMA performance tonight.
I promise it's not poisoned.
[PLAYING "LOVEGAME"]
Okay, dwarves, that's your cue.
You know, I think the dwarves should be in the front.
Okay. Sorry, sorry. Uh, no one's gonna be able to see me.
Yeah, well, this moment really is about the dwarves. Right, Dan?
Well, I mean, it's called Snow White so technically it's...
Of course you would take her side.
- He's right. I'm not standing in the back. - It was just a suggestion.
Boxing me out is one of Vanessa's favorite activities.
- What? - Whoa, okay, all right.
Okay, girls, let's calm down, talk rationally.
You're the one who signed up for this cabaret to box me out.
Are you kidding? You're the one who boxed me out today.
With your Morrissey plans. And that night.
DAN: What? - What are you talking about?
Vanessa, you're in love with Dan and everybody here knows it.
- It is true. - Olivia, that's crazy. Heh, come on.
Heh. I don't need to put up with any of this. I quit.
Oh, no, you don't. I quit.
What is going on? You bozos have a threesome or something?
Oh, God. How stupid can you be?
- The third person has to be a stranger. - It's my mess. I'll go talk to the girls.
BLAIR: In which order? Hmm?
Exactly. You're gonna have to tech all by yourself.
I have an army to build, a school to take over and girls to blackmail.
GOSSIP GIRL: Uh-oh, playwright, better whip out your pen.
Looks like this cabaret just became a one-man show.
Olivia, I'm not asking you to do cabaret for me.
I'm asking you to do it for all the tweens of this world.
My fans don't care if I do cabaret.
But they'll care if their favorite queen of the dead...
...had a ménage with disgusting Dan Humphrey and his celebutante girlfriend.
Do you really want everyone here to know that Abrams is literally a star...?
First, I'll text TMZ.
Then Gossip Girl.
Oh, and the town crier in Nowheresville, Vermont...
...so your parents find out.
So, what's it gonna be?
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[SERENA LAUGHS AND NATE COUGHS]
Do you realize we haven't been out drinking alone since?
Since the Shepherd wedding.
Yeah, the night that everything changed.
Maybe we should get some food, sober up before something happens. Heh.
Come on, it's been three and a half years.
I can control myself if you can.
[NATE SIGHS THEN CELL PHONE RINGS]
- Ha, ha. Another round, please. BARTENDER: You got it.
- Saved by the bell. - Hold up, one second, I'll be right back.
- Hey. TRIPP [OVER PHONE]: Nate?
I just found out...
...Grandfather wasn't behind Hudson Hero.
It was Maureen.
TRIPP: Your mom just told me. - No. You're kidding me.
I'm so sorry, Nate.
TRIPP: I let you take the fall...
What are you...? Don't worry about me. It's you.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know. I can never trust her again.
I don't know if I even wanna see her again.
Of course you're angry. Okay, Tripp? But she's your wife.
Any kind of separation this early in your term could affect your reelection.
Reelection is the last thing on my mind right now.
I just need to clear my head.
[GIRL LAUGHS]
But you're out.
Just at the Brandy Library with a friend. Listen, hang in there. I'll call you later.
Who was that? Dan again?
That guy's got the most complicated love life. How about that round?
- Now there's the Nate I remember. - Mm.
[BOTH LAUGH]
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
By the way, Eugene, Jenny. Jenny, Eugene.
- Hi. Nice to meet you. DAMIEN: See you, boss.
[CELL PHONE BEEPING]
[JENNY CLEARS THROAT]
Good. My guy is here.
"Here" here? He's coming over to the table?
Where would you suggest we do it? In the alley? With the cops and cameras?
Oh, uh...
I understand if you wanna leave or go to another table.
No, I'm good.
[AUDIENCE CHUCKLING]
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING ON PIANO]
Granny, why are your teeth so big?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
What if they don't show up?
They will.
[WILLA SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON STAGE]
Oh. That's the show-must-go-on spirit.
I'm gonna go make sure the dwarves are ready.
I have a little treat for Paul I need to set up.
Hey, I'm glad you decided to come tonight.
Well, Blair didn't really give me much choice.
Look, Vanessa and I are just friends. She has no feelings for me.
I'm positive. In fact, I made the same mistake when you went to Japan.
So, you know, whatever you think you saw during our thing it wasn't from her.
Yeah, no. You're right.
Right. See? I told you.
It wasn't from her. It was from you.
I sat up to take my shirt off...
...I look over and you were looking at Vanessa like you've never looked at me.
And then you kissed her...
...like you've never kissed me.
No. That's... That's... That little thing? That was hardly even a kiss.
That you even know what I'm talking about proves that it happened.
If you just let yourself, you'll see that your feelings for her are real.
And you should stop kidding yourself.
GOSSIP GIRL: Hey, Prince Charming. Looks like it's time for you...
... to look in the enchanted mirror.
Platinum record on the wall Who's most talented of us all?
Though your voice is as clear as day Your dance moves are quite passé
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
And Snow White's youth and sex appeal Means she'll get the record deal
[TIM PLAYING "LOVE GAME"]
I'm Screechy
[MIMICS TURNTABLE SCRATCHING]
She's Pitchy
- She's Tone Deaf - I'm Bitchy
My, what talent you small people have.
If only there were a vampy young vixen to front you...
...we'd all be swimming in online sales.
Luckily, I happen to be dating one.
[SINGING "LOVEGAME"]
[CHORUS SINGING "LOVEGAME" AND SNAPPING FINGERS]
So you guys met at boarding school? That's cool.
Hey, what...?
Yeah. Eighth grade. Le Rosey.
Good times.
[JENNY CHUCKLES]
Um...
I'm gonna use the ladies' room.
No, no, no, hey. Sit down. Don't go empty-handed. Here.
Just test the product, yeah?
That won't be necessary.
Chuck, what are you doing here?
After I got your message, I had housekeeping...
...do an early turn-down service in Damien's room.
That's where they found his stash.
I've had experience in the boat pond. I'm taking you home.
You and your father have until noon to collect your luggage.
After that, it's in the river.
You're totally overreacting, I'm fine.
Dude, the lady said she's fine.
Dude, I'm Chuck Bass.
Even Europeans must know what that means.
[JENNY SIGHS]
[TIM PLAYING "LOVEGAME"]
Now that I've added a disco-electropop beat to Snow White's love ballad...
...and put your voices through Auto-Tune, it's time to take over the land.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
Let's have some fun. This beat is sick.
[CHORUS SINGING "LOVEGAME"]
[DAN GRUNTS]
That's her cue. Where the hell is she?
I have no idea.
Well, the disco stick tends to be an unreliable form of transportation.
It, uh, breaks down a lot.
- What...? What are you doing? DAN: Yes...
Hello, ahem, Prince. Here I am, Snow White.
Oh.
And I got plastic surgery and colored my hair like you suggested.
Right, okay. You look fantastic.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
You know, it took me a long time to get over what happened with us that night.
Heh. Actually, I...
Uh...
Two years ago at the Masquerade Ball I tried to tell you I loved you...
...but turns out I told Jenny Humphrey, ha, ha.
She was wearing your mask.
You loved me?
[CHUCKLES]
Of course I did. Serena, you're the most beautiful...
...amazing, alive person I've ever known.
Nate.
I hope I'm not interrupting something.
[NATE SIGHS]
Platinum record on the wall It's me now who'll have it all
Just as long as true love's kiss Doesn't wake this coked-up miss
Oh, if only the prince would kiss her...
...we could be international backup dancers on her world tour.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[ALL SOBBING]
There he is now!
Yes.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING AND CHEERING]
[WHISPERS] You have to kiss her.
Kiss her!
- What are you doing? - Um...
Snow White is alive!
[AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]
GOSSIP GIRL: So Snow White lives. But are Dan and Olivia dead?
Blair, it was amazing. You surprised us all.
Speaking of which, I have a surprise for you.
Dan, if you think of applying to the playwriting program...
...let me know if you want me to read your sample.
Wow, thank you so much. Yeah, I'm gonna take you up on that offer.
Everyone, follow me.
So Maureen, uh?
Wow, I, um...
- I can't believe she did that. - I called her. She admitted it.
Are you okay?
Not really. My wife isn't who I thought she was.
And neither is my marriage.
Hey, thanks for hearing me out earlier.
- You're a great friend. - Yeah, well...
Anytime.
Wait. Nate, you knew? Why didn't you say anything to me?
- I... TRIPP: Look, Serena...
...I don't know anything anymore.
I just know I don't wanna be alone. Can we take a walk?
Yeah.
[WHISPERS] Hey, wait. Serena.
I didn't tell you about Maureen because Tripp's a married man.
And if you go with him now, you're gonna cross the line.
Thank you for everything, Nate, really. But that line just got a little blurry.

I don't get it. What is all this?
You may never have heard of Cyrus Rose, but Lady Gaga certainly has.
When she was at Tisch, they used to play cards.
Who do you think "Poker Face" is about?
That's why she's letting us see her dress rehearsal.
[CROWD CHEERING]
[SINGING "BAD ROMANCE"]
Olivia? Where've you been? Kind of abandoned me out there.
I know.
Sorry. I knew Vanessa would step in...
...and I needed you to kiss her.
Yeah, which I did. Because I had to for the play.
You made me do it. You can't judge what happened if you didn't see it.
I didn't need to.
You were the one that needed to kiss her again.
To realize for yourself that your feelings for her are real.
Anyway, I just got off the phone with K. C...
...and she kind of convinced me to take that witch movie.
What? Olivia, you can't leave like this.
I read the script. It's actually pretty good.
I'll be back in the fall.
There you are. Look, we're gonna have to talk about it.
We saw each other naked and there's no going back.
But we're friends. So, Olivia, I apologize for how I acted during rehearsal.
But I don't like Dan like that. And I haven't in years.
Right?
Yeah. Yeah, she's right.
Oh, and, you know, I think Paul Hoffman kind of likes me.
Look, I get the whole "sullen teenager pushing an envelope" thing.
I've pushed a pack. But you're better than that Damien guy.
I may be queen, but I'm more lonely and bored than I was when I lived in Brooklyn.
- And being with him was exciting. - And dangerous.
Please. It takes one to know one.
I saw that look in your eye the first day you came on my radar.
And what so-called look would that be?
Be very careful, Jennifer Humphrey.
If you go down the rabbit hole, it's going to take more than Blair Waldorf...
...and your army of minions to drag you back out.
So you're gonna walk me to my room and make sure I don't get in any trouble?
Just try not to run into any Eurodealers in the kitchen.
[SCOFFS]
Are you okay?
GOSSIP GIRL: Sometimes it's after the curtains close...
... that the real reckonings come.
Whether it's about who we wish we were...
[CELL PHONE BEEPING]
... or who we wish we could be.

[CROWD CHEERING]
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
GOSSIP GIRL: Or who we want.
