Transcript
Leif:

I get the notion of wanting to wear your mother's

Leif:

wedding dress at your wedding. Yeah, but wanting

Leif:

your bride to wear your mother's dress.

Steve:

Yeah. Little weird. Weird. Super weird. Super

Steve:

weird. No. I want you to wear the dress I was

Steve:

conceived in.

Leif:

Hey, Upper east siders and all you scandal loving

Leif:

listeners out there, you just tuned in to the non

Leif:

judging breakfast pod where the coffee is strong,

Leif:

the waffles are fresh, and the gossip is hotter

Leif:

than ever. My name is Leif and I'm your seasoned

Leif:

Gossip Girl veteran.

Steve:

And I'm Steve. The newbie, the greenhorn, the

Steve:

rookie, the. I don't know, Leif. What are we now

Steve:

that we are kicking off season five?

Leif:

I'm not sure where you are on the social

Leif:

hierarchy, but you'd be perfect as a kid from the

Leif:

east coast with a political family who's

Leif:

constantly manipulated while trying to keep

Leif:

everyone around him happy.

Steve:

Well, in that case, all I can say is yes,

Leif:

sounds good.

Steve:

So here's the deal, folks. Leaf has been watching

Steve:

Gossip Girl since it first aired and I'm tuning in

Steve:

for the very first time. And together we're your

Steve:

dynamic duo, bringing you all the drama, romance,

Steve:

and sometimes questionable fashion choices of this

Steve:

iconic 2007 series.

Leif:

Bring your magnifying glasses because each week

Leif:

we're dissecting every juicy detail of the show

Leif:

one episode at a time. We'll connect the dots,

Leif:

uncover those sneaky little Easter eggs, and of

Leif:

course serve up some piping hot behind the scenes

Leif:

tea. And expect some iconic phantom moments too,

Leif:

because what's a deep dive without a little drama?

Steve:

And since we are all about inclusivity here at the

Steve:

non judging breakfast pod, there is always a seat

Steve:

for you at the non judging breakfast table. So go

Steve:

ahead and grab your mimosa, a cup of coffee or get

Steve:

something with Nate's card and let's go ahead and

Steve:

get into this.

Leif:

And ah, welcome to season five. We did have a

Leif:

couple comments from the end of the last season.

Steve:

What is it now?

Leif:

On episode both from Spotify. mal, on episode 20

Leif:

commented the scene where Chuck crashes the party

Leif:

is so hard to watch. For me, I think Blake Lively

Leif:

actually does a really good job acting job there

Leif:

when she's trying to get Chuck not to ruin it.

Leif:

Which is why it pisses me off even more that they

Leif:

had her say that what he did was romantic. True

Leif:

character assassination of Serena.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, great point. Yeah, great point.

Steve:

Because she does try to stop the whole thing and

Steve:

then defends it knowing it was ridiculous.

Leif:

And then on episode 22, Eden commented sharing

Leif:

her, Knowledge of the Jewish heritage with us. She

Leif:

said usually the bar Mitzvah ceremony happens at

Leif:

Saturday morning service. It can happen at night

Leif:

though, but the actual party is very commonly held

Leif:

at night, especially for rich kids. The common

Leif:

thing would be to have the family at the services

Leif:

and then the friends and family at a massive

Leif:

wedding sized party that. That night. Lol.

Steve:

Yep, that. Okay, that scam.

Leif:

That makes sense.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Yeah, I just felt like late for a kid's party

Leif:

because, like, at the end of like the adult party.

Steve:

Right. Yeah, yeah. Robin actually had, and this is

Steve:

like one of those, sort of Jewish trivia things.

Steve:

Robin had a Benet Mitzvah because she has a twin

Steve:

brother. And so a, b. Mitzvah is when you have

Steve:

twins of opposite sex that have their bar mitzvah.

Steve:

Bat Mitzvah.

Leif:

I did not know that. Yeah, the more you know, that

Leif:

is it for comments for now, but you can send us

Leif:

more stuff. you can comment on Spotify, you can

Leif:

leave a review on Apple podcasts, you can write us

Leif:

on non, judging breakfast podmail.com and we will

Leif:

read your comments on the show.

Leif:

We are here though, to talk about the season

Leif:

premiere. Season five, episode one. Yes, then

Leif:

zero. Original air date was September 26, 2011 and

Leif:

the title was based on the movie slash book Less

Leif:

Than Zero.

Steve:

Yes, I have not seen it. I know of the movie.

Leif:

I've read the book.

Steve:

Yeah, I've neither.

Leif:

It is starring our old friend Andrew.

Steve:

Andrew McCarthy. Yes, I did. I did know that. That

Steve:

it was, Is it also. Is it Stoltz? Is it him and

Steve:

Eric Stoltz?

Leif:

Robert Daddy Jr. Oh, and Jamie Gertz is the

Leif:

female. Female lead. Okay, now this is like at

Leif:

least three movies that I know of. They're based

Leif:

on Brett Easton Alice books, which they don't

Leif:

necessarily. The movies don't necessarily share a

Leif:

cinematic universe, but the. All his books do

Leif:

share a literary universe. They all have little

Leif:

connections in them.

Steve:

Oh, that's cool.

Leif:

So three movies. I know. So Less than Zero, but

Leif:

also American Psycho. that's probably the most

Leif:

popular one. And also the Rules of Attraction.

Steve:

Okay, I've heard of it, but so

Leif:

Patrick Bateman, the main character in American

Leif:

Psycho, is brother to the main character in Rules

Leif:

of Attraction, Sean Bateman.

Steve:

Oh, okay.

Leif:

Played by Dawson's Creek's James Vanderbeek. Oh,

Leif:

this episode was written by our good friend Joshua

Leif:

Saffron. His fourth straight season premiere. Yep,

Leif:

I will spoil. He will not be writing the season

Leif:

finale, though. Oh, so he's written a Lot of

Leif:

episodes. I'll, name some highlights. Bad news

Leif:

blares, 17 candles, high society, New Haven can

Leif:

Wait, Magnificent Archibalds. You got Yale. Like I

Leif:

said, four straight season premiere. Also did

Leif:

season two, three and four premieres and finales.

Leif:

I should say you did a couple

Steve:

Thanksgiving ones too, right?

Leif:

Magnus Archibald was one of them. And also he did

Leif:

the Treasure of Serena Madre, which was season

Leif:

three. And also I think what was the best episode

Leif:

of season four, which is gaslit.

Steve:

Mm,

Leif:

M. And the episode was directed by the pilot

Leif:

maker, Mark Pizarski.

Steve:

Okay.

Leif:

This is his third season premiere that he's done

Leif:

of the show. He also did the backdoor pilot for

Leif:

Valley, Girls.

Steve:

Oh, right.

Leif:

But also did the first season Thanksgiving

Leif:

episode. Yeah. He also did Treasure of Serena

Leif:

Madre with Joshua Safran. And yeah, like I said,

Leif:

this is third. He did the season one and the

Leif:

season four and now the season five premieres. And

Leif:

also so like the season before premiere where it

Leif:

was like a double episode. He also does this one

Leif:

and the next episode.

Steve:

Oh, okay. Yeah. All of the season premieres tend

Steve:

to be two parters. They tend to be. You're away

Steve:

from at least since the first one. Since the first

Steve:

one. Season two on it always seems to be a, we're

Steve:

not in New York for an episode and then we're

Steve:

returning to New York for an episode which this,

Steve:

of course, we have some in New York, but we have

Steve:

others not in New York.

Leif:

So we got some, returning guest stars. Hugo Becker

Leif:

as Louis, Margaret Collins as Eleanor. Ethan Peck

Leif:

as Marshall, Joanne Holly as Princess Sophie, Jay

Leif:

McElron as, Jeremiah Harris. And then we get some,

Leif:

new guest stars. Elizabeth Hurley as mysterious

Leif:

Woman. Michael Bichell as Jane. Brian J. Smith as

Leif:

Max. So obviously everyone knows who Elizabeth

Leif:

Hurley is, I would think. Michael Michelle, who

Leif:

plays Jane, been a lot of TV. She did 55 episodes

Leif:

of ER.

Steve:

Wow.

Leif:

Brian J. Smith, who plays Max at the final scene

Leif:

of, the episode. Been in like 40 episodes of TV

Leif:

including Stargate Atlantis. M. And then, we had

Leif:

Zoe Bell also in here. And until I had done my

Leif:

notes for this episode, I always thought she was

Leif:

playing herself. She is a stunt performer

Leif:

coordinator, but apparently she has a character

Leif:

named Ally.

Steve:

Oh, okay, that's really funny.

Leif:

But she's basically playing herself.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Because she is a somewhat, ah, well known longtime

Leif:

stunt coordinator performer in Hollywood.

Steve:

okay, that makes more sense as to the casting

Steve:

because it's like, why is Chuck just all of a

Steve:

sudden like all about this stunt coordinator out

Steve:

of nowhere.

Leif:

But why don't you go ahead and read us that

Leif:

Vulture recap.

Steve:

Summer is over and on last night's season five

Steve:

premiere of Gossip Girl, we got to see how our

Steve:

favorite Upper east siders used the last few

Steve:

months of permanent vacation to grow and change.

Steve:

Serena's internship on a Los Angeles movie set has

Steve:

led her to believe that she transformed herself in

Steve:

an it girl to a working girl. And although she has

Steve:

taken to covering her boobs with chunky necklaces,

Steve:

her obliviousness to the double meaning of her own

Steve:

comment lets us know she is still the same person

Steve:

on the inside. Meanwhile, Chuck has discovered a

Steve:

new life philosophy called simply yes that allows

Steve:

him to take all opportunities that present

Steve:

themselves to which so far seem to include

Steve:

pleasuring pairs of twins with orchids, wearing

Steve:

debonair scarves, and engaging in wildly self

Steve:

destructive behavior. So, same as his old

Steve:

philosophy then. Nate seems a little hazy on his

Steve:

storyline until he meets a cougar grifter and

Steve:

remembers that's the kind of thing he's into.

Steve:

Blair may soon be undergoing a change that no

Steve:

amount of chunky necklaces can hide, and Gossip

Steve:

Girl, for her part, got a new aerial camera and

Steve:

insisted on showing us a bunch of upside down

Steve:

shots that made us nauseous. I didn't catch that.

Leif:

Neither did I.

Leif:

So got a little bit of sad news on the Vulture

Leif:

front. I clicked on the season five tab and

Leif:

realized immediately there's no tab for season

Leif:

six. Oh, and the last what they do is season five

Leif:

of episode 11. Wow.

Steve:

So there's only 10 more of these Vulture reports.

Leif:

Fire Redemptor is a pretty bad episode, so I don't

Leif:

play them.

Steve:

They're just like fuck this.

Leif:

So yeah, I don't necessarily blame them for

Leif:

quitting at that point. So at that point we're

Leif:

going to have to find something new again. We

Leif:

start Act 1 without a gossip Girl monologue. We

Leif:

open the season with a black and white scene from

Leif:

the adaptation of the Beautiful and the Damned. As

Leif:

the scene cuts, color floods the screen and we are

Leif:

on the set of the movie. Serena is doing her best

Leif:

to be a good worker, but is being bullied by

Leif:

Marshall, who we met at the end of last season.

Leif:

Before the scene ends, Serena gets a delivery

Leif:

containing an invitation to the royal wedding.

Steve:

Yep. Robin was like, why is she having that

Steve:

delivered to the set? Isn't she staying somewhere?

Steve:

And my response was it would be just like Blair to

Steve:

hire a process server to go and basically serve

Steve:

the paperwork to her friends.

Leif:

Yes. Back in the Hamptons, Dan Is working on his

Leif:

softball game and gets his own invitation

Leif:

delivered by Rufus. We learned that Jenny is going

Leif:

to fashion school in London. Aw, Yay for Jenny.

Steve:

Good, Jenny. Good job, Jenny. And since when is

Steve:

Dan into sports? I know there's that point that he

Steve:

is into soccer because it was beneficial to Blair.

Leif:

Well, it was the writers versus artists game. Oh,

Leif:

if you read the shirts.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, that's. That is true. Now you know,

Steve:

I'm a huge baseball fan, and I'll watch any

Steve:

baseball. And that's a game I'd love to see. The

Steve:

writers versus the artists.

Leif:

Chuck rides up to a yacht on a red sports bike

Leif:

where Nate is lounging. Nate has received

Leif:

invitations addressed to both himself and Chuck,

Leif:

but hides them before Chuck can see what they are.

Leif:

Chuck wonders why Nate hasn't been hooking up with

Leif:

anyone before taking two blonde twins into the

Leif:

ship's cabin.

Steve:

Nate's just, Nate's just getting along for

Steve:

himself. That's all.

Leif:

Yeah, the first I. I watched, See, I. I bet I

Leif:

wasn't staring at their faces. but then as they

Leif:

walked away, I noticed they were wearing the same

Leif:

bathing suit. So I rewound it. And I think. I

Leif:

mean, I think we're supposed to at least think

Leif:

they're twins. I'm not sure if they actually are.

Leif:

If they just look alike.

Steve:

Yeah, I got the impression that we're

Leif:

supposed to think they're twins, which kind of

Leif:

gross. But.

Steve:

Yeah, it's so funny because, like, especially

Steve:

growing up in, like, 80s 90s with, like, the hair

Steve:

bands that you hear them brag about, like. Yeah,

Steve:

and then we had, like, this mother daughter duo,

Steve:

and it's like, that's disgusting. Why would you

Steve:

want to be in a threesome with two people that

Steve:

are. That are incestuous? Like, if they've gotten

Steve:

that far, like, gross.

Leif:

Have you seen the show Love? on Netflix?

Steve:

Not enough of it. Only, like, the first or second.

Leif:

What happens in the first episode where he. He's,

Leif:

like, hanging out with these two women. He thinks

Leif:

they're just friends, and they go back to his. His

Leif:

room, and they're about to have sex, and then they

Leif:

reveal that they're sisters. Oh, he totally freaks

Leif:

out.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

And they're like, what's wrong? Good show, though.

Leif:

I like that show.

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

I remember you saying that Blair and

Leif:

Louis have just gotten back to the Waldorf

Leif:

apartment After spending the summer in the royal

Leif:

palace having lots of sex. Blair has apparently

Leif:

been putting off telling her parents something, so

Leif:

Louis bribes her with a very expensive piece of

Leif:

jewelry to get her to leave the bedroom. As the

Leif:

scene ends with Louis reassuring Blair, we also

Leif:

hear Eleanor in another room, upset about wedding

Leif:

planning issues.

Steve:

In this scene, we also have the setup of Louis is

Steve:

going to this big family event that Blair, his

Steve:

fiance, can't go to because they aren't married

Steve:

yet.

Leif:

Yes. only royals are allowed to. Only royals are

Leif:

allowed to attend something called the general

Leif:

Assembly.

Steve:

To a thing called the general Assembly. Yes. And

Steve:

also, it reminds me of Sophie telling Blair, like,

Steve:

oh, you know what? I can work some magic and get

Steve:

you and still get him his crown. So, yeah, you

Steve:

guys can get married and he'll still be a prince,

Steve:

because really, it's arbitrary. Yeah. Ah, you

Steve:

could have done that, the whole time.

Leif:

It's tradition, but there's no. It's not law.

Leif:

Right.

Steve:

So all of these things you could have done the

Steve:

whole time, you're just making a bigger deal of it

Steve:

to specifically gatekeep Blair. Like, fuck both of

Steve:

you.

Leif:

It's just to drive the plot.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something had to.

Leif:

Serena is visiting with Nate on the yacht, and we

Leif:

learn that Chuck won it in a poker game from

Leif:

Allegro Versace. Chuck emerges from the bedroom

Leif:

and surprises Serena with his new cheery attitude.

Leif:

He explains this all thanks to his new life

Leif:

philosophy that he learned from a Jim Carrey

Leif:

movie. Then Chuck gives Serena some positive

Leif:

career advice to assert herself if she wants to be

Leif:

taken seriously. The yes man came out pretty close

Leif:

to this episode, I think.

Steve:

Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah. And so this is

Steve:

Serena and. And Nate hanging out with Chuck. It

Steve:

was nice how Chuck greeted Serena that.

Leif:

Like, it was like, hey, sis, how's it going? Yeah.

Steve:

Yeah. Like, it was nice to see these three being

Steve:

the childhood friends that they are without any

Steve:

other bullshit baggage.

Leif:

And Chuck not being gross for once.

Steve:

Yeah, and Chuck not being gross. Yeah, it was

Steve:

impressive.

Leif:

Back at the softball game, Dan learns Vanity Fair

Leif:

is running a chapter from his book from his old

Leif:

mentor, Jeremiah Harris.

Steve:

Yeah, it sounded just like your stuff, but,

Steve:

better. But better. And, you know, the character's

Steve:

name had your initials, so I thought I'd bring it

Steve:

up to you. Everyone's read it. How has everybody

Steve:

read this? If it's going to be. If it hasn't been

Steve:

published yet, like, this anonymous author.

Leif:

I guess everyone's wondering who it is. They

Leif:

probably just shared it around and see if anyone

Leif:

could figure out who it was.

Steve:

Someone did. Yep.

Leif:

Blair, Louis, Sophie, and Eleanor are discussing

Leif:

wedding planning. And Sophie's royal traditions

Leif:

are bulldozing all over Blair's personal taste and

Leif:

when she looks to Louie for support, he just bows

Leif:

to mommy. Dorota is delivering a tray of drinks

Leif:

and sees a Gossip Girl blast about fighting the

Leif:

pregnancy test in the dumpster outside the

Leif:

building. Dorota thinks the blast must be about

Leif:

Blair, so pushes Blair to drink alcohol, which she

Leif:

declines, which also, at the

Steve:

same time, Dorota knows it's about her.

Leif:

Yeah. Yeah. I don't. I don't get. Why does she

Leif:

test Blair?

Steve:

Yeah, Yeah, I thought that was weird because I

Steve:

called from the beginning that it was Dorota.

Steve:

Like, I didn't think it was her. Blair. Anyway,

Steve:

so, yeah, for Dorota to then test her, I thought

Steve:

was weird. the other thing. Why can't you have a

Steve:

bouquet of peonies and carnations? Why can't both

Steve:

fly? Why can't you? Isn't marriage all about

Steve:

melding traditions together? Why can't you have a

Steve:

bunch of.

Leif:

Also, why the fuck does it even matter? Yeah, Let

Leif:

the bride decide.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Plot, plot, we switch back to Chuck, Sarita, and

Leif:

Nate celebrating on the yacht. And Sarita also

Leif:

mentions going sober over the summer. The show

Leif:

really stretching, though. Which one is this is

Leif:

pregnant as far as it can possibly go.

Steve:

Yeah, because they hand the. They go to hand the

Steve:

champagne to her as well, and she's like, oh, no,

Steve:

no, I'm sober in Cal. California sober.

Leif:

Yeah, well, she said LA lifestyle, which is that

Leif:

the same thing as California? It's funny because,

Leif:

like means smoking lots of weed.

Steve:

Yeah, smoking weed and not drinking.

Leif:

Not drinking and not doing hard drugs. But you're

Leif:

still smoking lots of weed. Yeah, lots of weed and

Leif:

gummies and all that good stuff. But yes, they're

Leif:

really stretching this. Which one is pregnant as

Leif:

far.

Leif:

And then this is the Gossip World blast, which is

Leif:

kind of red over both the last two scenes due to a

Leif:

reader's dumpster dive outside a well known fifth

Leif:

Avenue pre war. It appears someone we know and

Leif:

love is in the family way. So this is your humble

Leif:

Gossip Girl issuing an APPB who could the mother

Leif:

of our next scandal be? Now, this makes me wonder.

Leif:

I. I've always been calling this an apartment. Is

Leif:

this. Do they own the whole building? Is this a

Leif:

townhouse?

Steve:

The. The Waldorfs? I always thought it was a

Steve:

penthouse.

Leif:

That's right. I've always called an apartment.

Leif:

Yeah, but are there no other people in this

Leif:

building? Because it's outside. and which one of

Leif:

the Gossip Girl type readers is diving in?

Steve:

Dumpsters. Yeah,

Leif:

and then also, Blair calls down later for a cab.

Leif:

She's like, call down For a cab, which implies a

Leif:

doorman.

Steve:

Right. There's an elevator to get into the

Leif:

apartment, which you wouldn't have at a townhouse.

Steve:

Right.

Leif:

So again, I'm confused.

Steve:

Yeah. Well, yeah. It's always been the assumption

Steve:

that they are in. In a townhouse or penthouse or

Steve:

something like that. So the fact that there. That

Steve:

there would be hundreds of other people. What?

Leif:

Not a townhouse.

Steve:

Not a townhouse. But. Yeah. Right, right. But

Steve:

like, like a condo is what I was meant to say.

Leif:

We move into Act 2. Blair calls Serena to complete

Leif:

complain about Louis and Sophie, and we learned

Leif:

that they have managed to keep a regular contact

Leif:

over the summer.

Steve:

Yeah. Adorable. I love that they talked all summer

Steve:

long. Yeah, it was great.

Leif:

But also very contrasting to the fact that Blair

Leif:

and Dan did not talk at all.

Steve:

Yes. Despite having plans to.

Leif:

Yes.

Steve:

They did not.

Leif:

Weird.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Dorota asked Blair if she has seen Gossip Girl

Leif:

recently, and. But Blair doesn't have time for

Leif:

Dorota as she gets a text from Louis.

Steve:

Yeah. And we have the setup here that we see

Steve:

Dorota getting ready to confess. So.

Leif:

Yeah. Chuck and Serena are meeting with Marshall

Leif:

and stunt corner performer Ally, and Chuck goes

Leif:

with Ally to check out the setup of the big stunt

Leif:

they are working on. Nate notes that Marshall is a

Leif:

douchebag before Serena shoves him off to a PA to

Leif:

take him to an audition.

Steve:

First of all, he's Chuck Bass was just fucking

Steve:

perfect. We both lost it when they're like, who

Steve:

are you? He's Chuck Bass. It was. I loved it. It

Steve:

was so good. and then the rest of it, of course,

Steve:

is being the setup for Nate going in one direction

Steve:

and Chuck going in the other. and also really

Steve:

setting up the marshals.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

he's. Yeah, he is as big a. As he is a terrible

Steve:

actor. Like, he. He has cameo.

Leif:

Nepo, baby.

Steve:

Cameo level charisma. Who's.

Leif:

Who.

Steve:

Who is he?

Leif:

We told. I told you the last. Last season. He's

Leif:

Gregory Peck's grandson.

Steve:

Oh, right, right, right. He's terrible.

Leif:

He does have a great voice, though. I'll give him

Leif:

that. Very smooth, deep voice.

Steve:

Yeah. Terrible delivery.

Leif:

Dan, while on the phone with Epperly trying to get

Leif:

more info, returns to the loft with Rufus and

Leif:

finds the manuscript missing. Gabriella also

Leif:

failed to return Rufus's calls, just showing us

Leif:

once again that Vanessa doesn't fall far from the

Leif:

asshole tree. Dan learns from Epperly that Vanity

Leif:

Fair's grading creed, loves the story, but Dan

Leif:

thinks it's only because it's about a celebrity

Leif:

Blair Waldorf, future Princess of Monaco. Dan is

Leif:

going to go get help from the only person who can

Leif:

help him.

Steve:

Yeah, the only person who can help him.

Leif:

Did you thank Louis right away?

Steve:

no.

Leif:

Even though the show tips it off by immediately

Leif:

showing Louis face.

Steve:

Right. So they show him immediately afterwards,

Steve:

which to me, actually threw me off further because

Steve:

it was like, okay, they're just cutting. He's not

Steve:

going right to him.

Leif:

M. So who did you think it was going to be?

Steve:

Oh, I thought it was going to be Gossip Girl.

Leif:

Okay.

Steve:

I. I thought that he was going that. That she was

Steve:

going to somehow do.

Leif:

But why would he need to get up and go to her?

Leif:

Does he know who Gossip Girl is, you think?

Steve:

No, but the writers on this show sometimes will do

Steve:

something like that, like, oh, I better go talk to

Steve:

her. And then.

Leif:

But to me, if it was Gossip Girl, he would have

Leif:

tried it.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

Any other thoughts it could have been?

Steve:

Yeah, not really, because I just. I. Because I.

Leif:

Because no one else is in town, really, so, yeah,

Leif:

I did.

Steve:

So I figured it was someone just else altogether,

Steve:

like a nub. Bring back another cameo. Because to

Steve:

me, the idea of going to Louis was the dumbest

Steve:

thing. Like, why would he be the one that. Like.

Steve:

Because he's royal.

Leif:

He's not royal here, pally. Worked the.

Steve:

Yeah, but it worked. Well, of course it did. Ah,

Steve:

of fucking course it did.

Leif:

Louis knocks on Blair's bedroom door, and she

Leif:

assumes he is here to apologize, but he is only

Leif:

there to deliver the royal wedding gown. When

Leif:

Blair demands to know Louis will stand up for her,

Leif:

he suddenly grows a backbone and tells Blair to be

Leif:

ready at six. He is about to break the rules and

Leif:

bring her to the general assembly tonight.

Steve:

So there are no real rules here? Like, you're just

Steve:

bringing her. Like, you could have done that from

Steve:

the start. Hey, you know what? I've got this thing

Steve:

tonight, but I'm not supposed to bring you, but

Steve:

I'm going to because I want to. You just gatekeep

Steve:

this shit just to make sure she knows she's not

Steve:

married to you yet.

Leif:

Also, I'm kind of judging Louis here because he

Leif:

should be against her wearing this dress as much

Leif:

as Blair. yeah, I get the notion of wanting to

Leif:

wear your mother's wedding dress at your wedding.

Leif:

Yeah, but wanting your bride to wear your mother's

Leif:

dress?

Steve:

Yeah, Little weird. Weird. Super weird. Super

Steve:

weird. No, I want you to wear the dress I was

Steve:

conceived in.

Leif:

We meet Serena's boss, Jane, who is very impressed

Leif:

with her work on the movie. So Far. But also

Leif:

advises her to be more assertive and not afraid to

Leif:

push Marshall. Jane offers her more

Leif:

responsibility. To which Serena says yes.

Steve:

Yeah. Got to meet Serena's like boss's supervisor.

Steve:

Which is a cool dynamic to introduce.

Leif:

New mentor figure for Serena. Yeah.

Steve:

And it's not a dude. Yeah. And yeah. So hopefully

Steve:

won't try to sleep with her along the way. Of

Steve:

course I'm sure Marshall's going to try to sleep

Steve:

with her at some point. But And she's going to

Steve:

sleep with him because that's.

Leif:

Well, I mean Marshall is only working on the

Leif:

movie. He, she, he doesn't necessarily work for

Leif:

the company.

Steve:

Oh, that's true. I felt like they were trying to

Steve:

set this up like a love interest for Serena.

Leif:

I think they kind of had that thought. But then I

Leif:

think they also realized that he sucks.

Steve:

He's terrible. Like you can't like he's, he is

Steve:

worse than Gabriel. And I feel like Armie Hammer

Steve:

has been acting wise the worst love interest, Ben.

Steve:

I felt like Ben was written worse than he acted.

Steve:

Like I can't really fault everything on that

Steve:

actor.

Leif:

That character is all over the place.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. Because like he did the best he could

Steve:

with what he had. but like this guy is a fucking

Steve:

wet rock.

Leif:

Chuck, against protocol, does the big stunt. Ally

Leif:

runs up and tells him he's about to be in big

Leif:

trouble. But his cavalier attitude and rogish

Leif:

charm win him a date instead.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Chuck was very Han Solo in this episode.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. Right down to like the, the jacket.

Steve:

The jacket, yeah. Chuck.

Leif:

Yeah.

Leif:

But we move into Act 3. Nate is helping Serena

Leif:

knock off items on her to do list, including

Leif:

scoring some medical marijuana. Nate is worn out

Leif:

at 20 and needs to reinvent himself. Serena

Leif:

suggests he start at the party they are on their

Leif:

way to right now.

Steve:

I kinda hated this dialogue where she's like, what

Steve:

do you need it for anyway? You're just on a yacht.

Steve:

They smoke weed all the fucking time. Sir. You

Steve:

smoke weed Sometimes. Serena.

Leif:

Serena is very anti illegal drugs in this episode.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. And like he got his medical card in

Steve:

California because anyone that went to California

Steve:

to stay there for a while got their medical card

Steve:

if they smoked weed. Like why are you judging Nate

Steve:

for having his medical card? He got to go and

Steve:

legally buy weed. And what's really funny is, are

Steve:

they 21 yet? Because he would have to be 21 to get

Steve:

well, I guess. You know what, you don't have to be

Steve:

21 to get your card. If you have certain

Steve:

documentation which he could afford.

Leif:

They're probably both 20 at this point.

Steve:

That's what I was thinking.

Leif:

The strains sounded kind of interesting.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

The only one that sounded like a real one was

Leif:

Blueberry Headband. But that sounds like a crazy

Leif:

hybrid.

Steve:

Yeah, I was going to say Headband is like both

Steve:

Blueberry and Ed Band, so it would be.

Leif:

Yeah, but Blueberry is typically an indica, and

Leif:

Headband is a sativa, so. Like an old school

Leif:

sativa strand.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, Right. And so it really would be like

Steve:

your true hybrid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Steve:

Because Blueberry is a knockout punch, and

Steve:

Headband is just, like, locked in.

Leif:

Blair comes downstairs wearing another fabulous

Leif:

Oscar Delarata gown with Dota holding the train.

Leif:

Eleanor says she looks lovely, but testing a man

Leif:

is a mistake.

Steve:

I mean, I agree with that.

Leif:

Yeah. Stupid games and tests are stupid.

Steve:

Yep. Yep. This is. You said this is Dorota and

Steve:

Eleanor and Blair, right? Yeah, And Eleanor, when

Steve:

Blair walks off, and Eleanor is like, how. Where

Steve:

does she get it from? M. And Dorota gives her,

Steve:

like. Rolls her eyes and walks away. But the best

Steve:

is that she does it in front of Eleanor, who

Steve:

catches the look and is like. Whose face says,

Steve:

shut the fuck up, Dorota. Who pays your checks?

Steve:

Dorota. it was just, again, one of those fucking

Steve:

classic the acting of Dorota and the acting of

Steve:

Margaret Collins.

Leif:

Dan finds Louis and convinces him to skip his

Leif:

event with Blair to kill the story about Blair.

Steve:

Yeah, you're the only one I could think of. Can

Steve:

you use your royal connections to kill this story?

Leif:

I suppose so.

Steve:

Now, why couldn't Dan just go to the Vanity Fair

Steve:

and be like, this is mine. You may not publish it.

Steve:

I'm the author. It's no longer anonymous. You

Steve:

don't have my permission.

Leif:

Yeah, that would have been the smart thing.

Leif:

Although, how does he prove it? Because he doesn't

Leif:

have the manuscript anymore.

Steve:

Oh, yeah, Vanessa. What a dickhead. Well, and tell

Steve:

me you wrote that on a typewriter, Dan.

Leif:

I'm sure he did, because he's a

Steve:

fucking, pretentious prick. It was in fucking

Steve:

courier type font, if I remember correctly.

Steve:

What A.

Leif:

Chuck is drinking with Allie on his yacht, and

Leif:

they are about to head to the party. Allie

Leif:

suggests taking her truck, as motorcycles can be

Leif:

sketchy on Mulholland Drive. Chuck, agrees at

Leif:

first, but then discovers the poorly hidden

Leif:

invitation and decides instead to live

Leif:

dangerously. In the scene, we also learn the movie

Leif:

star Serena's ex boyfriend, Patrick Robertson has

Leif:

to stay sober or the movie gets shuts down.

Steve:

Yes, yeah, we have that little tidbit thrown in

Steve:

here. a good way to set up the later stuff when he

Steve:

just decides for one. I'm like, so you have two

Steve:

bikes now? You're going to ride your bike? But

Steve:

she's like, no, I have my truck. Okay. But then

Steve:

there's two bikes on this yacht for you guys to.

Steve:

To ride. I also like to live dangerously.

Leif:

I do like the continuity of using Patrick

Leif:

Robertson at the star of the movie, though.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah.

Leif:

Gossip Girl has this quip as we go to the Break

Leif:

sticks and stones may just break bones, but the

Leif:

wounds from words never heal. Especially when the

Leif:

words we hoped we'd never read.

Steve:

Yeah, that one. Come on, Gossip Girl. You can do

Steve:

better.

Leif:

We move into Act 4. Nate and Serena show up at the

Leif:

party and tell Marshall that Serena completed the

Leif:

whole list except for delivering Patrick Roberts

Leif:

to the marijuana she procured. Serena hands

Leif:

Marshall back the tablet with the list, and then

Leif:

he deletes the item about the weed. After, Serena

Leif:

walks away to find Patrick.

Steve:

Yeah, shady dickhead doing shady stuff.

Leif:

As they stroll through the party, Serena tells

Leif:

Nate once again that he has the perfect

Leif:

opportunity to reinvent himself. He does so by

Leif:

employing Chuck's philosophy. When a trio of women

Leif:

approach Nate, assuming he's a celebrity, he also

Leif:

says yes. When asked if this is his house, an

Leif:

older woman, played by Liz Hurley, walks up and

Leif:

shoves the younger woman aside so Nate can take

Leif:

her on a private tour of the house.

Steve:

I really liked Nate in this scene when they're

Steve:

like, are you that guy from the thing? And he's

Steve:

like, yes, and not technically a lie.

Leif:

Yeah, yeah, he is a guy from.

Steve:

He is a guy from a thing. So, yeah, it was. It was

Steve:

just funny, like, his whole leaning into this

Steve:

thing, and then this older woman comes up, which

Steve:

is Nate's kryptonite, and it's like, oh, boy, he's

Steve:

done. And of course, she walks up and asks for the

Steve:

tour, and it's like, this is her house. Yeah, this

Steve:

is obviously her house.

Leif:

Yep.

Steve:

Nate, you dumb sweet boy.

Leif:

Serena finds Patrick and gives him the marijuana.

Leif:

He is surprised and delighted when he heard

Leif:

production okayed it.

Steve:

And she's like, yeah, yeah.

Leif:

I'm confused why Serena, who's been working on

Leif:

this movie all summer in production, doesn't know

Leif:

this big thing?

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Why is this minder following around Patrick all

Leif:

the time? That doesn't really make sense.

Steve:

No, none.

Leif:

Except for Serena's an idiot.

Steve:

Well, which. That has been established canon for

Steve:

quite

Leif:

some time, but it's also been established here

Leif:

that she's been working hard now.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah, working harder, not smarter.

Leif:

But we know that Serena is smart when she tries.

Steve:

Yeah. Yes, we do.

Leif:

An, already late Louis calls Blair and lets her

Leif:

know that something has come up and he won't make

Leif:

it to the gala. When he says he can't elaborate,

Leif:

Blair hangs up and removes the necklace Louis gave

Leif:

her, then tells Dorota to call down for a cab.

Leif:

Now, did you predict where she was going to go to?

Steve:

I'll be honest. I don't remember if I predicted it

Steve:

or if I just knew it the second time, But I did

Steve:

get the sense there's only one person here.

Steve:

There's only one person in New York right now to

Steve:

go to.

Leif:

Nate is giving the mysterious woman a tour of his

Leif:

house by continuing to say yes to everything. This

Leif:

leads to her inviting him into the bedroom for

Leif:

presumably wild sex. Nate does the double fist

Leif:

pump.

Steve:

I love when she's pointing out the art, and she's

Steve:

like, oh, is this so and so? Yes. Or is it this

Steve:

person?

Leif:

Yes. How did you know?

Steve:

It's just. It's so great. Cause it's so classic

Steve:

Nate to just take that directive so literally that

Steve:

when you are caught in a lie, you just double

Steve:

down. Yep. We're not here to improv. We're here to

Steve:

say yes.

Leif:

Serena is talking to the musicians scoring the

Leif:

movie, but becomes distracted when she sees

Leif:

Marshall and a woman from the insurance company

Leif:

holding the container of weed and arguing. She

Leif:

goes over and quickly realizes that Marshall set

Leif:

her up.

Steve:

I was kind of wondering if that was a cameo.

Leif:

It was.

Steve:

It was.

Leif:

that was the indie pop duo Jenny and Johnny, Jenny

Leif:

Lewis and Jonathan Rice. And their song is

Leif:

actually featured in the episode in the scene

Leif:

where Nate goes back to get his phone.

Steve:

Oh, that's cool. Have they done other scores?

Leif:

No idea. Yeah. Serena quickly figures out that

Leif:

Marshall.

Steve:

Yeah, that Marshall set her up. Yeah, that

Steve:

Marshall set her up. And is this where she calls

Steve:

him on it?

Leif:

No.

Steve:

Okay.

Leif:

She gets a look to the camera like, oh. GT rises.

Steve:

Whack. Yeah.

Leif:

Dan is surprised to see Blair in her beautiful

Leif:

gown show up at the loft after not having talked

Leif:

all summer. Blair says she is ending her

Leif:

engagement. She says she needs to get out of the

Leif:

city, and can he take her to the Hamptons? A

Leif:

flabbergasted Dan says they can take Rufus car,

Leif:

but fails to tell her the reason Louis blew her

Leif:

off. However, just then, Louie appears in the

Leif:

still open door. Dan hangs his head because he

Leif:

knows he's busted.

Steve:

Here's the Thing where I kind of wasn't entirely

Steve:

mad at Dan.

Leif:

He got caught up in the moment.

Steve:

He got caught up in the moment. And she didn't

Steve:

lead with Louis, blew me off tonight. She led with

Steve:

all of these other problems with him and his mom.

Steve:

Right. So like when she came in and said to Dan, I

Steve:

have to leave Louie, it didn't, it wasn't

Steve:

immediately. He didn't show up tonight.

Leif:

I thought she did mention it as one of the things.

Steve:

It's one of the things, yeah. But Dan is hearing

Steve:

this list of here are all the reasons I have to

Steve:

break up with this guy. And sure, one of them I

Steve:

had to do with, but that's one issue among many.

Steve:

So I feel like, me, a 20 year old me, that the

Steve:

person that I am currently in love with comes in

Steve:

and says all of these things, starting with I need

Steve:

to break up with Louie, his mom, blah, blah, blah.

Steve:

I'm tuning out the other stuff, like, yeah, he's

Steve:

not here because he's doing something for me. But

Steve:

that's not the first thing she mentioned. And I'm

Steve:

tuning out and I'm focusing on the things that I

Steve:

want to hear. And I'm not saying that that's the

Steve:

right thing to do. I'm not excusing Dan.

Leif:

I'm saying I think everyone gets why he did it.

Leif:

It's still a live omission and he's still fucked

Leif:

up. And he realized.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. And he realizes it right away, as

Steve:

usual. Yeah.

Leif:

But it was a very well shot. I really love the way

Leif:

the scene was shot.

Steve:

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And she was just so good in

Steve:

it too. Like her, her pleading with him and her.

Steve:

Yeah, I love that scene.

Leif:

Chuck and Allie are riding their bikes down the

Leif:

curvy streets back in the hills of la. Chuck is

Leif:

driving like a maniac and Allie calls him to pull

Leif:

over and tells him to take it easy. Chuck isn't

Leif:

scared of anything though and presses on

Leif:

momentarily before dropping his bike and sliding

Leif:

across the concrete, like immediately.

Steve:

Lady, I'm fine. I'm not afraid of anything.

Steve:

Dumbass. Yet another opportunity to kill off

Steve:

Chuck.

Leif:

Yeah, but Gossip Real has this to say about it.

Leif:

Often all it takes to find a new pass is to make a

Leif:

sharp turn and see what you find. But beware,

Leif:

sometimes what you're faced with is a dead end.

Leif:

We move into Act 5. Allie pulls up to Chuck, who

Leif:

seems a bit shaken up but otherwise unharmed. He

Leif:

says he could use a scotch. She tells him that he

Leif:

has an addiction to danger and it's going to get

Leif:

him seriously injured. She apparently isn't

Leif:

sticking around because she ends the date right

Leif:

then and there and hopes he'll get some therapy.

Steve:

Don't we all? Although Chuck getting therapy would

Steve:

do very little good because a sociopath can just

Steve:

fake their way through therapy.

Leif:

Yeah, she definitely notices all the red flags

Leif:

with Chuck and just. She walks away.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, a lot of people

Steve:

are thrill seekers, but some people are out here

Steve:

to fucking kill themselves, and I'm not here for

Steve:

it.

Leif:

And did you. Did you catch Chuck's misogyny in

Leif:

this scene?

Steve:

I just kind of expect him to be misogynist at all

Steve:

times as there's. I didn't. I don't know if I

Steve:

caught something.

Leif:

So he made two suggestions for getting continuing,

Leif:

on to the party. They could either walk, or he

Leif:

could drive her bike with her on the back, right?

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Not. She could drive him.

Steve:

Yeah. Not the stunt coordinator that does this

Steve:

shit for a living. I. There's a part of me that

Steve:

wonders if she did the fall. I think it would have

Steve:

been awesome if behind the scenes, she dressed

Steve:

like Chuck, did the actual stunt.

Leif:

Yeah, wouldn't, surprise me.

Steve:

Yeah, that would be really fun.

Leif:

Nate and the woman are getting dressed post sex.

Leif:

We find out that she is the actual owner of the

Leif:

house. And this is the smallest guest room, not

Leif:

the master. She declines to share her name.

Steve:

You have to go now. well, this is my house. Oh,

Steve:

poor sweet Nate. Actually, it's my house. And this

Steve:

is my smallest bedroom.

Leif:

Outside, Serena and Marshall are arguing over who

Leif:

needs the job more. And he claims he never thought

Leif:

Serena would be able to buy weed in California for

Leif:

some reason.

Steve:

Who would possibly be able to land their hands on

Steve:

weed in the state with the most weed?

Leif:

But his guilt trip works because when Serena spots

Leif:

Marilyn. Look, still looking for Patrick. She

Leif:

admits she is the one who got the pot for Pat. She

Leif:

says to pass on her resignation to Jane.

Steve:

Yeah, Serena, fuck this guy. This guy just almost

Steve:

got. Just almost got the whole fucking shit shut

Steve:

down. And just classic Serena. Oh, he said he's

Steve:

sorry.

Leif:

Okay, well, I think the line about him actually

Leif:

needing a job more got to her. Yeah, because it is

Leif:

technically true. But still fuck him.

Steve:

But still fuck him. Then he shouldn't be putting

Steve:

PAs up to do shit that'll get the whole thing shut

Steve:

down.

Leif:

Yeah, exactly like, yeah, you need this job.

Steve:

Well, find another fucking job on another set

Steve:

because you fucked this one up. Like, what an

Steve:

idiot.

Leif:

Blair is about to break up with Louie, but is

Leif:

stopped By Dan. As usual, when Dan screws up,

Leif:

he'll eventually own up to it and try to right the

Leif:

wrong. Blair asks what possible reason he would

Leif:

have to lie to her, but Dan just stares back with

Leif:

puppy dog eyes.

Steve:

And Gossip Girl has. Because I think that that's.

Steve:

That one really ties in here.

Leif:

Yeah. As the scene ends, we get lonely boy

Leif:

learning three words. Eight letters don't come out

Leif:

right when no one wants to hear them.

Steve:

I thought that worked so well. The look on his

Steve:

face and like, why would you do that? And it's

Steve:

like.

Leif:

And using the Chuck and Blair.

Steve:

Yeah. Using their classic.

Leif:

But also, if I was writing this show and I wanted

Leif:

to set up a Caesar premiere and season finale

Leif:

parallel, maybe in the season finale, she might be

Leif:

ready to hear those words.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Maybe not especially from Dan, but from someone.

Steve:

Yeah. And I don't think we've heard Louis say it

Steve:

either, have we?

Leif:

I feel like we must have, but

Steve:

ultimately, yeah, I liked how that tied back with

Steve:

the words Blair wants to hear and Dan not being

Steve:

able to say it. And obviously because I, think if

Steve:

Louis's not there, he says it.

Leif:

But that would have been a mistake.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah, but I think he would have.

Leif:

We move into the epilogue. Back on the yacht, Nate

Leif:

and Serena are lounging while being given sage

Leif:

advice from Chuck. The scene ends with a group

Leif:

hug.

Steve:

Yeah, that was cute. And too much, too much when

Steve:

they were hugging him. too much, too much.

Leif:

No touching.

Steve:

Yeah. Yes, I know your names.

Leif:

Blair is in her bathroom when Eleanor confronts

Leif:

her with a copy of what you to expect when and

Leif:

you're expecting that she found in the pantry.

Leif:

Before Blair can respond, Dorota rushes in to

Leif:

confess that she is pregnant with baby number two.

Leif:

Doroth is excited that Gossip Girl talked about

Leif:

her, and all three hug in celebration.

Steve:

That was my favorite part was Dorota being like,

Steve:

gossip Girl talked about me.

Leif:

But yeah. So two things. So, again, why would.

Leif:

Again, why. Why Dorota think Blair was pregnant?

Leif:

Because she obviously knew she was pregnant.

Steve:

Right. Also, why is Dorota leaving her book in

Steve:

Blair's room?

Leif:

No, no, that's my second what if? Why would

Leif:

Eleanor think Blair left the book in the pantry?

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Does Blair know where the pantry

Steve:

is? Has Blair ever been into her own pantry?

Leif:

The mysterious woman is on the phone with someone,

Leif:

talking about how she already made contact with

Leif:

Nate, which she didn't expect to do until she

Leif:

arrived in New York. As, she hangs up, Nate shows

Leif:

up to retrieve the cell phone that he left at the

Leif:

Party. Nate apologizes for lying. They part on

Leif:

good terms, but Nate still doesn't get that name.

Steve:

I was so annoyed with this. I was so annoyed

Steve:

because it means we're gonna have another stupid

Steve:

Nate get scammed storyline.

Leif:

Well, who do you think was on the phone?

Steve:

My one thought was grandfather. it could have been

Steve:

grandfather, but if not, it could have been the

Steve:

Buckleys if we're gonna bring that shit back

Steve:

again.

Leif:

it seems like the grandfather is safe bets. I

Leif:

don't know if anyone else actually cares enough

Leif:

about Nate.

Steve:

Right. Yeah, well, I. I. My only other thing is

Steve:

that, people care enough about grandfather to scam

Steve:

Nate to get. So my thought was either it was

Steve:

grandfather or it was someone who's trying to get,

Steve:

Like Trip or someone trying to get closer to

Steve:

grandfather.

Leif:

But Nate, as we know, Nate, has been kind of

Leif:

broken off from the family since season three.

Leif:

Since the whole thing with Trip and Serena. Yeah.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

So he hasn't really been in communication with the

Leif:

grandfather.

Steve:

Yeah. So, yeah, it makes sense for grandfather

Leif:

to be trying to weasel his way back in there.

Steve:

You know, I know how to get him back. Sexy older

Steve:

woman. I'll find a sexy older woman to seduce him.

Leif:

But was that the plan?

Steve:

I mean, I feel like it was at least part of it

Steve:

because she recognized Nate right away and banged

Steve:

him.

Leif:

But we know from that conversation the plan wasn't

Leif:

to meet him until New York.

Steve:

Until New York. But, you know, she just sped the.

Steve:

Sped the honey pot up a bit.

Leif:

Serena has cleaned out her stuff but is stopped

Leif:

from leaving by Jane. Jane says she still

Leif:

appreciates Serena's work ethic and offers a more

Leif:

permanent job working directly with Jane's

Leif:

production company.

Steve:

Good job, Serena. Yeah, and it's also funny that.

Steve:

And I guess it's a very TV thing, the assumption

Steve:

of getting fired or just like, oh, I'm going to

Steve:

resign now because I got caught doing something

Steve:

bad instead of just owning up to it and letting

Steve:

your boss decide. Yeah, just the assumption of I'm

Steve:

fired. I'm fired for giving someone drugs in

Steve:

California. Like, really? No, just don't do that.

Leif:

Presumably, Serena does have classes starting in a

Leif:

week or two, so. Well, yeah.

Steve:

Yeah. Well, I mean, but I just kind of. I also was

Steve:

wondering if she was just ready to, like, why

Steve:

continue college if you have this job? Sort of.

Steve:

Like, why was Blair continuing college when she

Steve:

was the editor of a fucking magazine?

Leif:

Well, again, so back in season three, when

Leif:

Serena's talking about dropping out the first time

Leif:

Chuck mentions, why would you know people like you

Leif:

and Me need degrees. Yeah, but she says it's an

Leif:

accessory my mom really wants me to have.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. True.

Leif:

She still does care a little bit about what Lily

Leif:

thinks. Yeah.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Rufus shows up the loft complaining about Lily

Leif:

going stir crazy under house arrest. He

Leif:

compliments Dan on his writing, but is confused

Leif:

about the end of the story with Blair and what

Leif:

really happened versus artistic license. Rufus is

Leif:

also shocked to learn there's a whole book. Dan

Leif:

hopes, Vanessa only leaked the one chapter and

Leif:

this is the end of it, but opens a $10,000 check

Leif:

from Barcelona and a note that reads, congrats on

Leif:

your first novel.

Steve:

You're such a fucking asshole. But also now, of

Steve:

course, Dan's gonna see this money and be like,

Steve:

oh, but it's also like, Dan, you don't need money.

Steve:

You have fucking Cece money. You have fucking

Steve:

Vander Woodson money.

Leif:

It's not the same as having your own money,

Leif:

though.

Steve:

Right?

Leif:

Especially for a person like Dan.

Steve:

Right. I know.

Leif:

But also inferior to these people.

Steve:

Right? Yes. But he always wanted to be. Be one of

Steve:

them.

Steve:

We now know Chuck and Nate are

Leif:

waiting for Serena outside the set to go back to

Leif:

New York City when Serena comes out to announce

Leif:

she won't be coming because Jane offered her a job

Leif:

this time. When Chuck offers the celebratory

Leif:

drink, Serena gladly accepts. Chuck accidentally

Leif:

showers himself with champagne and excuses himself

Leif:

to go clean up.

Steve:

Is this the. Wait, this isn't on the back of the

Steve:

yacht. Did they go back?

Leif:

No, this is at the movie set.

Steve:

At the movie set. But is this where she says, you

Steve:

should write a book?

Leif:

I think that's back on the yacht.

Steve:

Oh, okay. Yeah. People like me don't write books.

Steve:

We have them written about us.

Leif:

Chuck is alone in the dressing room and pulls up

Leif:

his shirt to reveal a huge bruise from the

Leif:

motorcycle crash. When Chuck touches the

Leif:

discoloration, he feels no pain.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

What.

Steve:

What do you. What is happening here? First of all,

Steve:

he was in an accident. He's going to be sore. And

Steve:

now, you're telling me this is the first time he's

Steve:

had his shirt off? I guess it was right at the

Steve:

party. Right.

Leif:

He's literally not feeling. This is like a day

Leif:

later.

Steve:

That's what I was thinking. That, like, a day

Steve:

later. How are you not feeling.

Leif:

He is not feeling anything.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

And that. That will be expanded on the next

Leif:

episode.

Steve:

Okay.

Leif:

He is literally feeling nothing.

Steve:

It's a metaphor. No, no, but that really happened.

Leif:

Blair is being dressed in Sophie's wedding dress

Leif:

for the Vogue Paris photo shoot. Louis finally

Leif:

stands up to his mother and tells her that Blair

Leif:

will be photographed with peonies. Eleanor, Louis

Leif:

and Sophie walk away, and the mystical seamstress

Leif:

reveals Blair is pregnant based on a tiny amount

Leif:

of growth from her previous measurements.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. Could be fucking water weight. Like,

Steve:

are you.

Leif:

Yeah, someone that's tiny. Like one or two paths

Leif:

is going to make. Like, it's going to be like a

Leif:

notable difference.

Steve:

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

Leif:

Yeah. It's just rude in general, right?

Steve:

Yes. And just rude. you'd never tell a woman she's

Steve:

pregnant. Like, it's bad enough to ask a woman,

Steve:

but to be like, nah, girl.

Leif:

And the final scene of the episode, we see Ivy

Leif:

celebrating a one month anniversary of her move

Leif:

with her boyfriend. It looks like they both work

Leif:

at a restaurant. Ivy goes off to start waiting

Leif:

tables, but is spotted by Serena, who calls out

Leif:

for Charlie. Ivy deftly drops the apron she was

Leif:

holding and kicks it under the bar. As she falls

Leif:

back into the Charlie roll, Serena hugs Ivy, who

Leif:

plays it off as weird when the manager walks by

Leif:

and tells Ivy to get to work.

Steve:

I loved Ivy in this scene. I loved the. That was

Steve:

weird.

Leif:

Just played it so well.

Steve:

Just like, let's get out of here. I fucking loved

Steve:

that. I thought she was fantastic.

Leif:

Yeah. And, then this was Gossip Girl's final

Leif:

monologue of the episode. Well, well, well, Upper,

Leif:

East Siders. I got my answer after all. And it

Leif:

turns out the only thing expanding at the Waldorf

Leif:

residence is the help. Yet all this talk about

Leif:

expecting has got me thinking about expectations.

Leif:

The thing about expectations is that most of the

Leif:

time, someone else sets them for you, yet you feel

Leif:

they've been there all along and you can't wait to

Leif:

live up to them. But just because you know what's

Leif:

expected of you doesn't mean you still can't

Leif:

surprise everyone. Nothing stays hidden for long,

Leif:

and you often find what you least expect is right

Leif:

in front of you, waiting to change everything

Leif:

forever, whether you want it to or not. XOXO

Leif:

Gossip Girl.

Leif:

That is our episode. What is coming next?

Steve:

There is going to be. Let's take it m. Step by

Steve:

step, Dan and Blair. There's going to be tension,

Steve:

but there's going to be some kind of greater

Steve:

fallout with Louis and Blair that's going to send

Steve:

her back to Dan eventually. I feel like the Louis

Steve:

thing just. She's has a foot out the door at every

Steve:

moment. Right.

Leif:

Do you wish to revise your Louis timeline at this

Leif:

point? Because you've thought it was.

Steve:

I thought he was going to be Gone by now. So

Steve:

wedding is in November, and I. One thing I have

Steve:

said all along is that we'll get a wedding, not a

Steve:

marriage. So I'm thinking that Louie's here

Steve:

probably until November. I really do believe that

Steve:

we will get closer. Although we got Blair in a

Steve:

wedding dress in this episode, and I think that's

Steve:

really what they're looking for, but I don't. We

Steve:

haven't had the re. Like a reveal of Blair in a

Steve:

wedding dress. I think that that's what they're

Steve:

going for. So if they do some other kind of dress

Steve:

thing before November, then maybe Louie's on his

Steve:

way out. But I feel like. Lou, I feel like before

Steve:

the wedding,

Leif:

I think it was. In our last episode, we talked

Leif:

about a certain episode that's going to come up

Leif:

around mid season.

Steve:

A certain episode is going to come up around mid

Steve:

season. I'm not sure.

Leif:

Any other predictions?

Steve:

I'm predicting. So Serena can't stay in California

Steve:

for long, and I'm really feeling like she's out

Steve:

there living with Cece. So I feel like something

Steve:

with Cece has to be the catalyst to send her home.

Steve:

That's. That's in my gut. I'm worried about Cece.

Steve:

We should. We should be worried about Cece. I. Oh,

Steve:

man. Just kill Chuck.

Leif:

Just kill him. Although I actually like Chuck

Leif:

himself. He's fine. Yeah. If he ignore all his

Leif:

past actions.

Steve:

Right, Right. But I'm. But how long before he

Steve:

starts being Chuck again? So I'm just. You have an

Steve:

opportunity here. You missed the last one. Nate is

Steve:

going to get played by his family again. this time

Steve:

involving an older woman. Honeypot. We're going to

Steve:

have. We do. I said Blair and Dan have to get

Steve:

together at some point. Man, now I wish I could

Steve:

remember what we talked about last week.

Leif:

Let's. Let's talk about this pregnancy timeline a

Leif:

little bit.

Steve:

Okay, so.

Leif:

So if we're taking this mystical m. Seamstress

Leif:

word, that is she is six weeks pregnant, which I

Leif:

assume we're supposed to.

Steve:

Which we're supposed to.

Leif:

Because she's magic.

Steve:

It's Gossip Girl magic. Yes.

Leif:

so we know the check from Chuck and Blair that

Leif:

they slept together on May 7 from the check at the

Leif:

bar mitzvah. So that happened on May 7th. And then

Leif:

all. All this episode, we talked about the time

Leif:

pass between the finale and the. And now as being

Leif:

all summer.

Steve:

Right.

Leif:

Which is kind of vague, but. Well, it's got to be

Leif:

at least, like, two months. But.

Steve:

But here. Well, very specifically, we have May

Steve:

7th. And then we have three weeks later.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

So we know that there's three weeks right there

Steve:

and then. So at least another.

Leif:

Yeah. Which explains also the end of the semester,

Leif:

because that's the semester probably added, like,

Leif:

mid to late May.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah. And then, so that would put us. But

Steve:

that would essentially put us into June.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

So we could assume that after June, probably

Steve:

another 12 weeks, like the rest of June, July,

Steve:

August, school starts back up, usually the end of

Steve:

August. But we're.

Leif:

There's usually a few episodes before school

Leif:

starts.

Steve:

There's usually a few episodes before school

Steve:

starts. I feel like we're supposed to believe that

Steve:

their college starts in September, that they start

Steve:

post Labor Day. So post Labor Day, we're looking

Steve:

at 12, 13, 14, 12, 15, 16.

Leif:

So we're not there yet. But six weeks. Plus three

Leif:

weeks, though. I mean, minus three weeks,

Leif:

actually. So there. That would make your summer

Leif:

only three weeks.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

For it to be Chuck's baby, because he's only six

Leif:

weeks pregnant and they had three weeks before the

Leif:

end of the season.

Steve:

Oh, did she say six weeks specifically to her?

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Okay, so that had to be Louie. That couldn't be

Steve:

Chuck if it's six weeks.

Leif:

Yeah, if that's. If that's correct.

Steve:

Right.

Leif:

But I don't think that's what they're gonna go

Leif:

with. I think they're gonna try and make us think

Leif:

it's.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Shot shocks.

Leif:

All right, any other predictions before we go out

Leif:

to segments?

Steve:

M.

Leif:

It was a significant episode that's going to come

Leif:

up in season five, right around mid season. We

Leif:

talked about.

Steve:

It's the wedding. I keep talking about the

Steve:

wedding. Significant episode in season five. I

Steve:

mean, we've talked about Lily

Leif:

having a baby, but a specific number episode that

Leif:

would be great for a big event.

Steve:

So I'm assuming episode 11 is one of the big ones,

Steve:

which we've also discussed earlier today. Is

Steve:

terrible.

Leif:

Okay. Yes. You know or never.

Steve:

Yeah, I'm. I'm.

Leif:

Let's get it to segments.

Steve:

All right.

Leif:

Hello there, Peabody here. And this is the Wayback

Leif:

Machine for traveling through time.

Steve:

And this is my boy, Sherman. Speak chairman.

Steve:

Hello. Good boy.

Leif:

This week in Fanda, we jumped into the Wayback

Leif:

Machine to visit the Television without pity

Leif:

forums from 2011. Their overall peer pressure that

Leif:

this was a good premiere.

Steve:

It was all right.

Leif:

Set some things up.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Well directed.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Had some good lines.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah. Had some. Really. Had some laugh out

Steve:

loud lines. Yeah.

Leif:

Some of the story lines were kind of nonsense,

Leif:

but. Yeah.

Steve:

Yeah. But we're. We're here now.

Leif:

Yeah. For some reason they seem happy about Blair

Leif:

being pregnant.

Steve:

It's that shark did not need to get jumped. No.

Leif:

So you don't think they're going to get married?

Leif:

You think she will have the b. The baby?

Steve:

I don't. I don't think she's going to have a baby.

Steve:

I can't imagine one of the non judging Breakfast

Steve:

club having a baby. I could. Let me rephrase that.

Steve:

I could imagine there being a storyline where Nate

Steve:

or Chuck had a baby that is like a storyline for

Steve:

several episodes and then they never take care of

Steve:

that kid again. And they're never meant m like

Steve:

Scott, that kid.

Leif:

Dare fans are still going strong but a lot of

Leif:

chair fans are back in the mix and excited for

Leif:

baby Bass.

Steve:

Oh no, no. Fucking God no.

Leif:

They liked the Chuck, Serena, Nate scenes in la.

Steve:

Yeah, they were great. They were one of the things

Steve:

I loved about those scenes. They were just friends

Steve:

that there wasn't scheming or flirting or any of

Steve:

that. They were just being good friends to each

Steve:

other.

Leif:

They were really happy with Serena's story for the

Leif:

first time in a while.

Steve:

Yeah, she had a good story.

Leif:

Yeah. Two back to back episodes. Good for Serena.

Steve:

Yeah. Where she wasn't. Yeah. Where she wasn't

Steve:

doing stupid, petty, dumb. She was really good and

Steve:

not falling

Leif:

for the wrong guy.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If anything, she g let the wrong

Steve:

guy off the hook. But which to me was like, oh,

Steve:

they're going to date when. When that happened,

Steve:

I'll have to double check.

Leif:

But I think this is the last time we see him.

Steve:

Actually.

Leif:

I think he's gone. Thankfully.

Steve:

I'm okay with that.

Leif:

Yeah, Dan is playing dirty. He. He is really on

Leif:

the inside now.

Steve:

Yeah, I mean I don't think he was that dirty. Like

Steve:

I said, I think he got caught up and heard all the

Steve:

things he wanted to hear and ignored the thing he

Steve:

didn't want to hear. Like I'm not mad at Dan. It

Steve:

was shitty, but I'm not mad at him.

Leif:

I'm kind of mad. I. I understand where, where he's

Leif:

coming from but I've mad at him a little bit.

Steve:

That's fair.

Leif:

And finally the fans wish the CW would release an

Leif:

inside as an actual book they could buy.

Steve:

Yeah, I agree. But then we'd all have to face the

Steve:

fact that Dan is not as good of a writer as they

Steve:

think they want us to pretend he is.

Leif:

Well, they could actually hire someone to go.

Steve:

Yeah, that's true. That's true.

Leif:

Instead of like an Intern to write from the Prof.

Leif:

Department.

Steve:

Right, Right.

Leif:

That is it for this week in fandom.

Leif:

on to episode grades. Cheer week to go first. What

Leif:

do you got?

Steve:

Solid season premiere. Felt very much in line with

Steve:

a lot of it. Good laugh out loud lines. The dumb

Steve:

stuff didn't bother me too much. I'm going to go A

Steve:

solid B.

Leif:

Yeah, like you said, good lines. I thought the

Leif:

directing was pretty good. The acting was good for

Leif:

the most part, except for, Excuse me, Marshall.

Leif:

Jane was also a little weak on the acting side.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

But yeah, B.

Leif:

Moving over to Stockwatch, who do you got going

Leif:

up?

Steve:

I'm going to start with the California crew. I'm

Steve:

going to send Serena and Chuck. Both are going up

Steve:

for having good episodes. I'm going to give Doda

Steve:

and up. Congratulations. Mazel tov on the new

Steve:

baby. I am going to give Louie and up because he

Steve:

did the thing for Dan and saved the day for Dan

Steve:

and got the girl. And I'm going to give. I'm going

Steve:

to give it to Blair too, for I'm on the fence with

Steve:

Blair because I don't think that she. I'm not

Steve:

going to give it to Blair. I feel like she kind of

Steve:

won out on some things, but I think she's more

Steve:

neutral in this.

Leif:

So

Steve:

I'm trying to think if there's anyone else that I

Steve:

want to give it to, but I can't really think of

Steve:

anyone.

Leif:

Okay.

Steve:

Oh, actually, yeah, the. I can't remember her

Steve:

name, but Elizabeth Harley's character. Forgetting

Steve:

one.

Leif:

She was unnamed. But I will spoil it now because

Leif:

we're going to learn next episode. It's Diana

Leif:

Payne.

Steve:

Okay, so Diana Payne goes up for successfully

Steve:

honey potting Nate.

Leif:

For me, I had Serena going up because she, like I

Leif:

said, she had a positive episode. Looks career

Leif:

focused instead of boy focused for once. So good,

Leif:

for her, Louie, because, yeah, he stopped the

Leif:

story and he stood up to it. Took him a little

Leif:

while, but he did eventually stand up to his mom.

Leif:

And I did give Blair the up because, yeah, she got

Leif:

what she stated she wanted.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

And, I'm not letting my shipping judge my grading.

Steve:

Ouch. Okay, you can give Blair up for me. Got to

Steve:

make a personal leap.

Leif:

It's fine to make it personal. I'm just not. I had

Leif:

Nate going up because even though it's clearly a

Leif:

scam, he had a good time this episode. I mean, for

Leif:

this episode, he went out.

Steve:

I was really on the fence about that. And I think

Steve:

I'm going to give him the up too. Just Because I

Steve:

know that he's about to suffer. Because I really

Steve:

was on the fence with Nate because he got played,

Steve:

but he doesn't know. And that's really where

Steve:

Nate's at his happiest.

Leif:

He got laid.

Steve:

Yeah. Nate having sex and not knowing he's being

Steve:

played is.

Leif:

I also had Jane going up because she seems like

Leif:

she's going to be a good mentor for Serena.

Steve:

Oh, okay.

Leif:

I did have Diana Payne going up as well. I had

Leif:

Jenny going up for being happy and being mentioned

Leif:

at a fashion school.

Steve:

Yeah, go ahead and give Jenny an up for me, too,

Steve:

for that. I forgot about her.

Leif:

I had Jeremiah Harris going up because he got some

Leif:

good burns in on Dan. I had Ally going up for

Leif:

immediately recognizing the red flags and walking

Leif:

away from Chuck.

Steve:

Yep. Yep.

Leif:

And, I added to rota because, yeah, she. She got

Leif:

baby. She's pregnant with baby number two. So.

Leif:

Congratulations.

Steve:

Congratulations.

Leif:

Who do you have going down?

Steve:

Dan lost out on everything. She, was mentioned.

Steve:

Vanessa, you fucking asshole. For all of this. I,

Steve:

also I'm going to give Rufus a down because it

Steve:

sounds like Lily's driving him crazy with the real

Steve:

house. Real house arrests.

Leif:

But luckily he has another house he can just go

Leif:

to.

Steve:

Yeah, he can just go to his son. Oh, Marshall goes

Steve:

down. Oh, also, I can't remember his name, but the

Steve:

actor, Pat Patterson. Patrick Robertson. Patrick

Steve:

Robertson because he can't smoke weed. So. Oh, and

Steve:

then also the production assistant that was the

Steve:

narc for being a narc. The one that wouldn't let

Steve:

him smoke weed. The production.

Leif:

Yeah, she was. She was from the insurance company.

Steve:

Right, right. The person from the insurance

Steve:

company who wouldn't let him smoke weed. Narc.

Steve:

She's still a narc. I don't care where she's from.

Steve:

She's still a narc.

Leif:

Okay, so that's it.

Steve:

Yep.

Leif:

All, right for me. You had him going up. I had him

Leif:

m. Go down. Chuck, because he. He is clearly going

Leif:

through some shit.

Steve:

Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

He literally can't feel pain.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

I had Dan going down because he screwed up.

Leif:

Marshall, going down because he's a dick. Vanessa,

Leif:

because she's a dick and was mentioned.

Steve:

Yep.

Leif:

And then also the seamstress because she was very.

Leif:

Just very rude.

Steve:

Yeah. Fair.

Leif:

That is it for my downs, though.

Steve:

But here's the best outfits from the last episode

Steve:

we seen

Leif:

on to best outfit. Who did you have?

Steve:

I liked Blair's. The white and green dress that

Steve:

she wore was going to wear to the gala that she

Steve:

wore to Dan's at The end. I like that.

Leif:

Yeah, that was the obvious choice, the Oscar de la

Leif:

Renta.

Steve:

Yeah, the wedding dress was beautiful but it was

Steve:

just creepy because that was your mother in law's

Steve:

dress.

Leif:

I also like Chuck's outfits this episode too.

Steve:

Chuck had great outfits this episode.

Leif:

Rocking the ascot again.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. Back to his. Yeah. Fred from Scooby

Steve:

Doo out of

Leif:

the fucking business suits.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. Casual. Chuck wears ascots and leather

Steve:

jackets.

Leif:

Yes.

Steve:

He is a fucking Ken doll.

Leif:

That is it.

Leif:

Leif:

description reads, Nate reconnects unexpectedly

Leif:

with Diana, who offers him an exciting

Leif:

opportunity. Serena forces Charlie to decide which

Leif:

world she wants to embrace. Dan seeks out Chuck's

Leif:

help to stop the publication of his book, but

Leif:

discovers it is Chuck who needs the help. Blair's

Leif:

future sister in law, Beatrice, arrives for

Leif:

Monaco.

Steve:

Oh boy.

Leif:

Another royal fouling member.

Steve:

Another royal.

Leif:

But I think the big spoiler there is we get,

Leif:

Another Chuck and Dan team up.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Which is always fun.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah. So I'm excited about that.

Leif:

Until next time. You know you love us.
