I have to say I quite enjoyed last night's episode of Gossip Girl. Chuck triumphing over Russell Thrope was a long time coming (can the Thorpes please go back to Chicago now?!) and that twist about Bart and Raina's mother at the end is interesting.

Chuck going off the rails, ordering Serena to shut the party down, and hitting the bottle, were not surprising. I half expected him to up and move to Paris and call himself Henry again. Of course, when Chuck hits a wall the first person he turns to is Blair, which pretty much had me yelling at my TV last night while M and my parents' dog shot me strange looks.

I was all like, "You may be Chuck Bass, but Chuck Bass is a jerk! Go and find Blair, I hope you catch her smooching Dan Humphrey. That's right. You heard me. Dan. Humphrey. Bet you didn't see that one coming, Chuck Bass!" The dog seemed most troubled by the developments on Gossip Girl--or my slightly OTT response to them. Either or.

Am I alone here? Granted Blair did end things with Chuck, but it seems every time things don't work out with them he's onto another girl. And not just in someone else's bed, I could handle that, but all mooning over them and in love with them. Barf. And now he's all, "I need Blair. Get me Blair!" As if Serena has enough brain power to carrying out anyone's demands, let alone be a minion or something. Maybe Chuck needs to invest in his own Waldorf-esque entourage.

In the end I know Chuck and Blair are meant to be together, but for the moment I'm quite liking Blair with Dan. He seems to make her much more normal, balanced and happy, something she's been rather unable to achieve with Chuck to date.

As for Serena, I am so done with that girl. She is cut off. When Lily asked her if she'd destroyed the affidavit and Serena's answer was a blank stare I could only roll my eyes. Yes, Lily had kept the document. IN A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX. Not in her underwear drawer! You'd think being around people like Lily and Blair all her life would have taught Serena something, but apparently that's not so. The girl's got nothing. Except for some teary eyes for Ben, who she hadn't thought of in three years. It took Ben's sister trying to ruin Serena's life and actually drugging her to jog the blonde's memory. Girls can be so fickle.

I was happy Lily turned herself in and now we can move on from this whole horrid storyline. I'm all set to watch Chuck and Serena realize that they really want Blair and Dan only to find out that they're--gasp!--too late. Sweet justice indeed.
