I’ve been waiting for this kind of episode since the hiatus. Episode 19 “Petty in Pink” really satisfies my Gossip Girl needs as it gives us the sexiness, spying and of course scandals. There’s no doubt this is one solid episode! Lets dig in.
TV Fanatic: Despite my disappointment that we didn’t SEE the kiss between Dan and Blair (come ON, writers) it did result in a major revelation for the Donut: He LOVES her!
He tried to deny this to others and to himself. He even kissed her as a ruse to aid her romancing another guy. But he’s finally come to grips with his true feelings.
I love that Dan acknowledged this. The question is what he does next.
Will he try to get in the middle of the royal courtship Blair is so taken with? Will Blair ever admit her similar connection with Dan, which she continues to repress?
Somehow I predict that Charlie, who’s getting the hang of UES life quickly, will try to help him win Blair back, while secretly harboring feelings for Dan herself.
Dan’s gotta make a move at some point. While Prince Louis seems like a good-on-paper guy and all, B seems more smitten with the IDEA of him than anything.
The glitz and glamor of dating royalty were evident in that final kissing scene, with the flashbulbs sparkling and our Queen B swooning. But I think it’ll fade in time.
I just don’t see him as the long-term fit for Blair, and am going to predict that the only Royal Wedding this spring will involve Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Between Dan and Chuck, who was not involved in Blair’s story line this week, one of NYC’s finest will triumph come May. Will it be the Prince or the Pauper?
While some parts of this saga were obviously hokey – Lucien yanking Louis back to France unless Blair was dating Dan; any of Serena’s reasons for meddling; Charlie’s intense desire to become a spy – that’s par for the course for GG.
In fact, combined with a fancy party, that pretty much IS Gossip Girl.
The party in question was an all-pink affair to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, hosted at the VDW penthouse where Lily is now under house arrest.
Wearing an ankle monitor a la Lindsay Lohan, who was hilariously referenced at one point, Lil ultimately pulled the plug on the event after Nate’s mom dissed her.
This after Rufus, who actually had a conversation with Dan (there’s a first time for everything), went to great lengths to move it to her pad, too. What can you do.
The fact that Lily’s simply under house arrest felt anticlimactic, but is probably a realistic punishment, and allowed us to focus on other stories, so I’m cool with it.
While Blair tried to keep a regal romance intact and on the DL, and Lily attempted to stay socially relevant despite a felony conviction, Raina tried to find her mom.
At first, Chuck urged Nate to stop her. Then he accompanied them to New Jersey in search of Avery Thorpe, afraid of what they might learn and what it will mean.
What Chuck knows (or at least strongly believes) is that Raina’s mom died in that fire and Bart was responsible, and it’s eating away at him more every second.
Beneath the Howard Hughes routine lies a young man coming to grips with his family’s legacy, a lucrative but increasingly dark history. What will he find next?
All I know is that Ed Westwick continues to sell it so well. This brooding, tormented shell of Chuck Bass is hard to watch, and at the same time a treat to watch.
As spoilers say, Serena will make a move next episode. So what do you think of this spoiler?
