Oct 13, 2009 4:36 PM Posted by cwmusic In last night’s episode, there was blackmail, revenge, an awesome cameo from Sonic Youth, and, oh yeah, a wedding. Lily and Rufus finally get hitched, but not without a little scandal and some meddling from the merciless Georgina. Let’s recap all the Gossip highlights:
The Big Leap into Marriage
The episode became a big game of will they/won’t they, as Lily and Rufus wavered over getting married. Lily used every excuse in the book to stall things, while Rufus stuck it out, understanding the true heart of the matter: Lily was scared to let herself completely fall in love. I was definitely holding my breath for this one. I seriously thought that they weren’t going to go through with the wedding, especially with Georgina bringing in Scott to complicate things. It turns out that it was their lovechild that brought the two together. Who would’ve thought? As much as I was rooting for Lily and Rufus to make it official, I wouldn’t exactly have minded if they didn’t go through with it. I was secretly hoping for a Dan and Serena reunion. It looks like that’s out of the question now, because that would be just plain gross. In the end, it all worked out for the best. Rufus truly loves Lily and it was great to see Lily put her guard down and break the cycle of being a gold-digger.
Love is a Battlefield
Georgina really brought out the big guns on this one. Did she actually think Dan would still want to get back with her? Bombarding him with calls, texts, and animated e-cards? The girl is psycho! Georgina’s treacherous schemes of blackmail, crashing weddings, and outing Lily and Rufus’s lovechild didn’t make that big of a dent at all. In fact, she might’ve done them a favor by bringing Scott into the mix. Georgina came out thinking she was unscathed, but it seems that Dorota and Vanya are carrying out a plan of their own. Wonder what they have in store for the wicked Georgina.
I had my doubts about Carter’s intentions with Serena, but what he did for her was pretty sweet. He risked a lot going to the wedding, knowing full well that the Buckley’s would be there, vowing revenge against him. Also, kudos to Carter for fessing up. We find out why the Buckley’s are out to get him- apparently, he jilted Bree’s cousin Brenda, scamming her into trying to marry him so that the Buckley family could relieve his gambling debts. That was the old Carter. Carter tries to reassure Serena that it’s different this time around. It seems that Carter truly cares for Serena. By the end of the episode, we see Carter between two buff Buckley’s getting driven to a destination unknown. That’s very chivalrous of Carter, willing take those bruises to show his love for Serena.
Speaking of the Buckley’s, I’m glad Nate finally dumped Bree. Their relationship probably had to be the most boring relationship ever! Bree made it clear that she was first and foremost a Buckley and only used Nate to get to Carter Baizen. Such a dirty tactic. Bree didn’t deserve Nate, anyway. I hope now this means that Nate will get some juicier storylines.
The Chair love affair was put in the backseat this week, but it looks like they’ll be up at the forefront again for next week’s episode. I can’t get enough of those two lovebirds! We’ll finally get to see this much-talked-about guy-on-guy Chuck Bass kiss. Catch Gossip Girl on Mondays @ 9PM on the CW 44Cable12.
