"Gossip Girl here, your one and only source  into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite." "It's time to pass the Gossip Girl baton." "Let someone else see if they can outshine me." "Welcome to your future as Gossip Girl 3.0." "The power is now in your hands." "So I guess we're cousins." "Until 10 minutes ago, I didn't know I had family." "Tell me we have an offer that'll keep The Spectator afloat." "Yes, I do know Diana Payne." "You're covering for who really gave me blood." " Elizabeth." " She didn't want you to know." "Remember the woman with the locket I had you look for years ago?" "Yeah, my mother." "I need to find her again." "As for the rest of my estate, I leave to you, Ivy Dickens." " Best if you left." " I was gonna say the same." "This is my apartment now." "You don't have a case." "I didn't do anything." "The court will decide that." "In the meantime, your assets will be frozen." "I told Chuck he doesn't have my heart." "I realized it belongs to someone else." "If she defaults on the marriage, the dowry can be reinstated." "I have a way that your family doesn't have to pay the Grimaldis." " You get your divorce in the process." " Fine." "Where has she been?" "And who am I?" "That's one secret I'll never tell." "You know you love me." "XOXO  Gossip Girl." "Every once in a while, a life-changing event  will arrive with fanfare and excitement." "Miss Blair, package from legal firm of Kier, Grandineti and Booth." "Divorce papers!" "Ah, sweet legal freedom!" "Thank God." "I thought Louis was gonna this drag on forever." "Georgina move fast." " What do you think she do to make happen?" " It's best we don't think, Dorota." "Georgina went black ops on this one and while I'm sure I'm gonna pay a price for my plausible deniability right now I'm just gonna enjoy the bliss of ignorance." "Which means I can stop avoiding them, and call Dan." "Ah." "Now we can date outside the confines of the 718." "We can walk down Madison Avenue, hand-in-hand without having to worry about Louis changing his mind." "In my experience, most turning points in our lives  don't announce themselves." "If anything, they tend to creep up quietly when we're least expecting them  and force us to make a decision that isn't so easy." "Any word from Jack or Andrew Tyler yet?" "Jack's not returning my calls and it's been a week." "And Andrew still hasn't been able to track down Elizabeth." "Now that you know she's your mother you, uh, think you want a relationship with her?" "I haven't decided yet and since she's MIA, I don't have to." "In the meantime, I'm going to head down to the spa and meet Mandy and Micheala from Hospitality and catch a steam." "Coming?" "Gotta get to the office." "Diana's finally making an appearance today." "Oh, the two of you running The Spectator again?" "Ready for combat?" "No reason to think we'll have anything to fight about." "She's an investor." "I'm still Editor-In-Chief." "I'm not worried about it." "I told myself the same thing before my night with the Australian women's softball team." "Then ended with a fractured rib and a tattoo of a kangaroo that I didn't know I had for a month." "Heh, listen, Diana and I may have ended things badly on a personal level but we always worked well together." "What does Lola think about you working with your ex?" "I don't know." "I haven't, uh, exactly told her about my past with Diana." "How could she not know?" "I mean, you were all over Gossip Girl, Page Six." "No, Lola has no interest in the Upper East Side scene." "Even if she did what Diana and I used to be doesn't matter anymore." "Maybe not to you." "But why else would Diana be back?" "It can't be her love of journalism." "I don't know about that, but once I get the lay of the land with Diana I'll tell Lola everything." " Sound like you got it all figured it out." "Just don't be surprised if you end up with an angry ex-girlfriend and a tattoo of a kangaroo." "Hey, congratulations." "Dorota told me it's your first official day as a single woman." "It's true." "I'm finally freed of the shackles of royal matrimony and Louis' horrible family." "Now that you're ready to rejoin the civilian population how do you plan to spend your first day as plain Blair Waldorf?" "Oh, sure, yeah, with Dan." "I'm..." "Look, I know it hasn't been easy, but I am happy for you." "Oh." "Of course." "A Gossip Girl blast about my divorce coming through." "How does she know everything so fast?" "Probably has someone in front of the building." "Know what's strange?" "Ever since the real Gossip Girl's been back I've barely been mentioned." "I just..." "Ugh." "I wish that there was a way to stay off her radar forever." "Oh, please." "It's your destiny to be Gossip-worthy." "What?" "Tonight you are modeling a line of lingerie named after you at Kiki de Montparnasse." "Gossip Girl won't be able to resist." "You're always her number one target." "You don't have any brilliant ideas how to push me off her list?" " You really want out?" " I'm ready to move on with my life and I can't do that with Gossip Girl tracking my every move." "You need to replace yourself." "Find a new Serena." "Use your influence to anoint her the new "It Girl."" "Retain control, but stay out of the spotlight." "Okay, well, where do I start?" "At the beginning, of course, with a defining moment." "You didn't really become Serena van der Woodsen until you got naked on that aircraft carrier." "Don't make it sound like a porno." "We were on a school trip and I wasn't naked, I was wearing a dress." "A white, wet dress." "A photo landed on Gossip Girl and that was it." "Gonna take a moment like that to create the next Serena van der Woodsen." "Okay, what about you?" "Now you're saying goodbye to being a princess does that mean you're ready to reclaim your crown as Queen B?" "If it's your mom's sister's family, that means you gained an aunt, an uncle?" "Yeah, heh, and two cousins:" "Eric and Serena." "I'd kind of like to get to know Serena a little bit better but a whole family overnight is kind of a lot." "You can't get to know her unless you spend time together." "So, what, I just call her up and say:" ""Hey, we're related." "Let's hang out"?" "That's so random." "Your mom really screwed you up, didn't she?" " Nate." "What are you doing here?" " Hey." "I'm just on my way to work." "This is my friend Aidan, from back home." "We went to acting camp together." "He's checking out Juilliard." "Uh..." "I'm gonna grab a paper, check out the reviews for Peter and the Starcatcher." "Ah, well, uh, you've never mentioned him before." "Do I sense a little jealousy?" "No, Aidan's just a friend." "Besides, he's not my type you are." "You wanna play hooky with us?" "Ah, I can't." "Got that new investor coming, gotta meet with her." "That's right." "What's her name, Diana Payne?" " What do you know about her?" " Uh, well she doesn't like it when people are late." "So I gotta run." "See you guys later." "That was weird, wasn't it?" "I mean, I mentioned that woman and he just took off." " What are you doing?" " There's this site called Gossip Girl." "I'm just gonna see if there's anything about her on there." "Wow, she is hot." "After that, we have a Cindy Sherman exhibit at the MoMA." "Tonight, a new restaurant that opened..." "Uh, I'm sorry, Dan." "Cindy Sherman and her unflattering self-portraits aside it sounds like you planned a perfect day, but it's going to have to wait." "The royal seal is missing on my divorce papers." "I don't wanna let Louis get me on a technicality." "Uh, if it's something that small, maybe it could be resolved today?" "Oh, I'm sure Louis' lawyers are gone." "The Monegasque work very short hours." "I want to spend the day with you, so we could hang out here." "Well, uh, Serena's around." "We shouldn't rub it in her face." "I'll call you later." "Song lyrics." "Vanya and I love karaoke." "Dorota, while your reputation for loyalty is unassailable you and I know something's going on." "Just leave the song lyrics on the table and step out of the room for a moment." "You won't see a thing." "Only because I worry." "Sometimes, even the best laid plans fall apart." "How's that?" "Excellent, just get the right hand side down a bit." "Hello, darling." "Did you miss me?" "What the hell are you doing?" "You didn't think you'd get to keep the office?" "You're gonna love your new cubicle." "Or you hit a wall when you were expecting a door." " Hey." " Hey, Lola, what's up?" "I just found out that the new investor in The Spectator is Diana Payne Nate's ex-girlfriend." "He totally lied to me about her." "I don't know what to do, I really like him." "But every now and then, you get lucky  and the universe delivers the perfect solution." "You know what?" "Um, I'm actually really glad you came to me because I know exactly what to do." "Come on, let's go." "Get ready, Lola, because whatever Serena wants  Lola's gonna get." "Just get out of my office, please." "I'm an investor in this paper, which I think entitles me to an office." "And I choose this one." "No, being an investor means you don't actually need to be here." "You're not a majority shareholder and it's my name on the masthead." "Not for long." "You think advertisers are going to want to do business with a kid now that I'm back?" " They haven't had a problem so far." " Oh, please." "I've done the research, my love." "Advertising is down." "You never did understand that sex sells." "Fortunately, I do." "Which is why I'm co-hosting a "Down to Your Skivvies" party tonight at Kiki de Montparnasse." "After tonight, everyone's gonna be talking about how I'm back and your days are numbered." " Heh." "You can't sponsor a Spectator party without me." " I'm not." "I'm doing it on my own." " If you're inviting advertisers everyone's gonna think it's related to the paper and I'll be there." "Fine." "If you insist." "I'm assuming no plus-one?" "Oh, I'll be bringing my girlfriend, Lola." "No problem." "Enjoy your last day in here." "So, what do you say we get out of here, go have a nice lunch at Daniel and go shopping at Barneys?" "Actually, I just came back from the city." " Oh." " I, uh, went to see Ivy." "I asked her if she'd be willing to move out of the apartment if we unfroze the assets." " What?" "We don't negotiate with terrorists, especially ones from Florida." "You don't have the right to speak on my behalf." "I know, and I didn't agree to anything." "But, sweetie, Ivy did." "She offered to leave as soon as you call your lawyers." "We could have you back in by end of day." "That is such a wonderful thing to do for me." "But unfreezing the assets means letting Ivy have my mother's money." "I don't think I can live with that." "You have enough money for generations of Rhodes to live comfortably." "Does that exhale mean you'll call the lawyer and unfreeze the assets?" "Yes, fine." "You're right." "Good." "I'll start packing, and then we'll go celebrate." "Your mother's been in Vienna for the past six months." "I have an address and number, but haven't made contact yet." "How do you want me to proceed?" "I'm not sure." "The fact that she was harder to find than a fugitive isn't lost on me." "Clearly, the woman doesn't want to be found." "I don't know that I can advise you, Chuck." "At this point, maybe you need a friend more than a private investigator." "Anyone in your life who got to know Elizabeth the last time she was here?" "Maybe you wanna talk to them." "Figure out what it is you really want and what to expect before you pursue this any further." "The one person who was there the whole way through is the one person that's not in my life anymore." "Blair Waldorf." "Then why did you pay her dowry?" "She doesn't know I did." "I don't want her to find out ever." "Okay." "But even if that is the case, does that mean you can't talk to her?" " Thank you, Tracy." "It's perfect." " Oh, great." "We're excited you'll be modeling "The Serena."" "Browse, if you see anything you like, let me know." " Okay." " So am I totally overreacting?" "About Nate, I mean..." "That looked amazing." "Oh, thank you, uh, look, Nate is a great guy, but Diana is aggressive." "I don't know why she's back, but it's safe to say it has something to do with him." "I'm not interested in competing with someone." "It's not about competing." "Even if there was no Diana your not wanting to be a part of his world is not a good idea." "He's your boyfriend, part of a relationship is sharing interests." "I do." "Everything but parties and the Upper East Side social order." "Like it or not, that's a big part of his life and work." "If you don't start meeting halfway, you leave room for someone who will." " Like Diana." " So, what do I do?" "Try this on." "It's gorgeous, but I couldn't." "Wow." "Because it costs more than a semester at Juilliard." "Not for us, it doesn't." "You heard Tracy." "She said it's on them." "Come on." "It's one of the many perks of being an "It Girl."" "Go on." "Heh." "Come on." "We need to get out of here." "Blair has the papers." "She hasn't signed them." "Now that us as a couple is reality, maybe it's freaking her out." "I think you're just kind of Humphrey-ing out here, man." "Oh." "The Editor-in-Chief is chit-chatting with his bro instead of working." "And you wonder why the paper isn't doing so well." "The most recent numbers." "Dismal." "Seriously, Diana is the only investor you could find?" "Chuck was gonna step in, but the timing was off and, uh, he wasn't liquid enough." "Chuck Bass wasn't liquid?" "How's that possible?" "I shouldn't have even brought it up." "Why?" "Does, uh, this have to do with Blair?" "If Chuck did something, you gotta tell me." "It's nothing bad, it's good." "I don't know why Chuck insists on keeping it quiet." "Heh." "If it's good, what's the deal?" "You know what I'm up against." "All right, fine, but you didn't hear it from me." "Okay?" "Chuck didn't have the money because he paid off Blair's dowry." "Oh, my God." "That's why she didn't sign the papers." "She must have found out and now she's having second thoughts." "He was trying to do a nice thing." "Come on, you really believe that?" "This is Chuck we're talking about." "I gotta go." "Why you lie to Mr. Dan about signing the papers?" "Sneak up on me like that again and I'm gonna start making you wear a bell." " I want answer." " Divorce is a private matter." "You'll see someday." "If you want to make yourself useful, call the car around." "If you tell me why you don't sign papers, otherwise you take taxi." "I'm going to do it." "I just need a little more time." "For what?" "Heh, it makes no sense, but I feel like once I sign those papers I'm closing the door on something that I'm not quite ready to let go of." " Marriage to Louis?" " No." "Then what?" "Oh, my God." "So the entire Upper East Side is seeing this photo of me?" "Well, not just the Upper East Side." "It is the Internet." "But this is exactly what we wanted." "Between that photo and the news that you're the real Charlie Rhodes everyone will be talking about you." " About how I'm an exhibitionist with a freak for a mom." "Oh, I just got an e-mail from Tracy at Kiki de Montparnasse." "She wants you to model at the party." "No." "No, no." "That's not going to happen." "What better way to show Nate you're willing to make an effort and, not to mention, Diana is one of the party sponsors." " You think Nate's gonna be going?" " Of course he will." "I shouldn'tjump to conclusions." "I should probably just go talk to him myself." " I'll let you know, okay?" " Um, yeah, sure." "Lola, I don't want to freak you out but, um, you may want to check Gossip Girl again." "Word is that Diana and Nate are going to tonight's "Down to Your Skivvies" party together." "Guess their relationship just went from business to pleasure." "I thought I moved on that this whole business with my mother was in the past." "I could live with the uncertainty because the woman I met I didn't care if she was my mother or not." "But then I found out she did this extraordinary thing for me." "Is it wrong to think that changes things?" "No, of course not." "But what I don't understand is what you want from me." "Just someone to talk to, I guess." "Someone who'll understand." "You met her." "You know what I went through." "Is it worth it to try and reach out again?" "I don't know, Chuck." "But I'm not sure I'm the one to ask." "Why?" "Because of Humphrey?" "I'm not trying to work an angle here." "I'm coming to you as a friend." "No, you're not." "You're working right back into my life and you're using your mother to do it." " Blair..." "Sorry if I sound harsh, but we both know we've never been good as friends." "There's always been an agenda." "Am I wrong?" "No, you're not wrong." "Chuck, what are you doing here?" "Thought I was coming to see a friend for advice." "Apparently, I made a mistake." "What's going on?" "You know how I got that blood transfusion at the hospital?" "It was Elizabeth." "Apparently, she is my mother, but she's pulled a disappearing act." "I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it to track her down." "And try and build a relationship." "Well, if you're asking me, I'd say do it." "I mean, I know it's scary but when it comes to reconnecting with family, it's worth the risk." "Thanks." " I'm telling you, it's not true." " Then why was it on Gossip Girl?" " I have no idea." " Why should I believe that?" "You already lied to me about having a relationship with Diana." "You're right, and that was dumb and I'm really sorry about that." "But there is nothing going on right now." "Why do you keep nervously looking at the door?" "Diana made it clear she's determined to push me out." "And the last thing I need is a fight with my girlfriend at the office." "Okay, well, we can discuss it tonight then." "I can't tonight." "I have to go to this party." "What?" "You don't even like events like this." "The only reason you want to go is because you think I'm lying to you." "This is a work event, not a personal one, okay?" "I'm sorry." "Hey, is there anything you want to tell me?" "Let me guess." "You saw on Gossip Girl that Chuck came by." " I can explain." " No, you don't have to." "I already know about the dowry." "What are you talking about?" "About how, uh, Chuck paid your dowry." "If that's why you didn't sign the divorce papers, I just wish you would tell me." "No, I had no idea Chuck paid it." "None." "I thought it was Georgina." "I gotta go." " Where?" " To find him." "Him who?" "Chuck?" " Hello." " This is John Rosen  Ivy Dickens'lawyer." "My client got a call from a bank officer  informing her that there was a check waiting." "Yes, my, uh, wife unfroze the assets." "That's what Ivy thought." "So she packed up, left her keys and went to go get the check." "But when she got to the bank, they had no idea what she was talking about." "I couldn't help but overhear your little lover's spat." "I'm sorry Lola won't be coming tonight, but it presents an opportunity." "What if you and I went together?" "Well, I appreciate the olive branch, but I think it sends the wrong message." "Lola's my girlfriend." "I don't want to hurt her." "It's just business." "What's the risk?" " What's the point?" " It looks good to advertisers." "Us playing nice." "Let's use this night to send a message to the town that The Spectator is back to being a well-oiled machine." "Hey." "So Nate swears there's nothing going on with Diana but he also refuses to bring me as his date tonight." "I'm sorry." "Well, you just have two options then." "You either stay home and do nothing." "Or you come with me to the party and you model." "Tell Tracy I'll be there." "With a date." "Diana better watch out." "I'm ready." "Everyone's been talking about Manhattan's latest arrival  Lola Rhodes." "And word is that tonight  you're going to see a whole lot more of her." "My head is pounding" "My mouth is dry" "My eyes are burning" "Oh I can see you lowering" "Pan de sal" "Hey." "They do not have parties like this in Florida." "They barely have dental hygiene in Florida." "Ooh, open bar." "Be right back." "Hey, nice touch with the hot guy." "Oh, thanks." "So have you seen them yet?" "Okay." "Don't tell me they're not on a date." "And she's even more beautiful in person." "That's annoying." "Don't worry." "As soon as she sees you model she's not only gonna see you're a force to be reckoned with and back off but you and Nate will be the hottest couple on the circuit." "You will surpass me as New York's "It Girl" in no time." "Oh, no." "No one can surpass you." "Especially not me." "You can." "And you will." "Nothing would make me happier." "Let's go find Tracy so we can start getting ready." "Actually, I think I'm gonna introduce myself to Diana first." "Go for it." "Good luck." "Hey, Nate." "You remember Aidan?" "What are you doing here?" "Careful." "You don't want to cause a scene." "This is a business party, after all." "Hi, I'm Lola Rhodes." "I don't think we've ever met." " This is my date, Aidan Hill." " Oh." "It's a pleasure." "I'm surprised to see you." "Nate said you wouldn't make it." " I was invited to model tonight." " What?" "I didn't know that." "Why would you?" "It's not like we were coming together, heh." "Maybe Diana and I should, uh, get a drink while you two talk." "Actually, Nate and I need to go and say hello to a few people." "Lola, maybe it's time for you to show Aidan what you're modeling tonight." "Otherwise you might lose two men to me in one day." "I brought lattes to help us pack." "I heard from Ivy's lawyer." "She got a call saying there was a cashier's check." "She moved out." "It wasn't there." "Do you know anything about this?" "Yes." "I never called the lawyers." "But now that she's out, I need to legally make sure she can't get back in." "And the call about the check?" "It was a ruse to get her out of the apartment." "Rufus, you're not going to get me to feel any remorse." "Ivy lied about who she was." "She manipulated my mother while she lay dying and she stole our apartment." "Look, frankly I think she deserves exactly what she's getting." "But you didn'tjust lie to her, you lied to me." "But, Rufus, I'm sorry I kept it from you." "I knew you wouldn't be comfortable with it." "I had to protect you from the truth." "This isn't what a marriage is." "We have to be honest with each other." "I know, but this was an extreme situation." "I did what had to be done." "Maybe I'm seeing clearly because of the view from Brooklyn." "I'm not okay with this." "Rufus, I know you're upset, but how can you be so righteous?" "We're talking about someone that stole from us." "Ah, oh, my God." "Can we please just stop fighting?" " Can we just pack and go home?" " Yeah, I don't know, Lily." "Right now, this loft feels a lot more like home than our apartment." "As you can see, Nate, everyone's very excited I'm back." "No one more so than you, apparently." "Makes me wonder." "It's a buyers' market right now for newspapers." "If you wanted one, you could have gone anywhere." "What are you getting at?" " I think you came back for me." " Ha, ha." " You're adorable." " No, I'm serious." "I think you spent the last few months in L.A. Trying to convince yourself that I was nothing, just a fling with a younger guy." "But the fact is you couldn't get over me." "Really?" "Then explain this." "Come with me." "Where is my date going?" "Exactly where we wanted him to." " Blair, what are you doing here?" " Looking for you." "At first I wasn't sure where I could find you but then I realized, look for the lingerie models." "So tell me, is it true?" "Did you pay my dowry?" " Who told you that?" " Tell me if it's true." " Why does it matter?" " Ugh." "I knew it." "You thought you could buy me back." "Like you thought you could sell me for your hotel." "You got it all wrong." "That's why you showed up with that ruse today about friendship." "You bought my divorce and came to collect your prize." "Then why didn't I collect?" "I swear I did not want you to know about the dowry." "The only people that knew were Nate and Andrew Tyler." "I just wanted you to be free." "Whom you choose to love with that freedom is up to you." "I'm sorry, Blair." "I thought you knew." "Oh." " You're right, he's a good actor." " I don't think he's acting all that much." "Wait, you two are working together?" "What's this, some kind of revenge on Diana?" "Yes, but let me explain it to you." "I..." "I can't believe this." "You, whatever." "But, Lola, you totally used me." "Just go talk to her." "We got what we needed, all right." "Uh-oh, Nate, looks like your dirty movie just got an unhappy ending." "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "Filming you and Aidan." "Oh, and he's 16, by the way." "Not sure how you're going to run The Spectator from jail." " And you recorded it?" " Yup." "You have not lost your touch, by the way." "So, what do you think?" "The front page of The Spectator or just let Gossip Girl run with it?" "Go ahead, send the video wherever you want." "If what's-his-name really is 16 you'll be in prison right there next to me for recording and distributing child pornography." "Go enjoy the show." "See you at work tomorrow." "So, uh, are you okay?" "Yeah, I guess I'm just not used to seeing Chuck do anything selfless." "Yeah, well, people can surprise us." "Even Chuck." "I saw the divorce papers." "The seal was there but they weren't signed." "I thought you must have known that he paid the dowry." "No." "No, this has nothing to do with Chuck." " Or the dowry." " Well, then..." "Then why?" "My whole life, I wanted to be a princess." "And when I met Louis, it was this whole whirlwind of royalty and tiaras." "And it seemed like my dream was coming true." "I mean, I may have married a prince, but I never really got to be a princess." "I know it's silly, but I think it was just one more loss I needed to mourn before moving on." "When I first came to you, it was because I needed advice." "And I wanted yours." "And when you agreed to come with me to the party?" "I needed to make it look like I was in a fight with Nate in front of Diana." "I know you really want this "It Girl" title for me and I'm so flattered that you think I could ever live up to it." "To be honest with you Serena, I don't care about that kind of thing." "And neither does Nate." "So I'm so sorry." "I hope we can still be friends." "Why would I want to be?" "I put myself on the line for you and then all you did was let me down." "Okay, ladies, time to get in position." "There's been a small change in the plans." "Yeah, Lola's not modeling." " What?" " She can explain." "Uh, Serena, I need to talk to you." "Oh, I'm so sorry about Lola." "I know it's an inconvenience." "It's not that." "After that photograph today we thought we'd get more buzz if we changed "The Serena" to "The Lola."" "I need you to model something else." "Seriously?" "Minutes ago that would have been great news." "But now?" "You asked me to do this." "I have a model to take your place." "We'd love to see you in something else." "Sorry, but you can't." "We can't have Serena being the face of "The Lola."" "Please, come with me." "Spotted." "Serena van der Woodsen blowing off the Kiki fashion show." "Looks like this party just went from "so hot" to "so not."" "Hey." "I just want you to let you know how sorry I am about last night." "I really appreciate everything with the whole "It Girl" thing." "No, it's okay." "I shouldn't have pushed you to do it." "It's clearly not for you, heh." "Actually, it might be." "I got a call from an agent this morning." "She saw my photo on Gossip Girl and wants set up a meeting with me." "What, um..." "What does Nate have to say about it?" "I thought he didn't care about you being an "It Girl."" "Yeah, I know, he doesn't, but, um he's supportive of my acting career." "So he's happy." "And anyway, it's how you use your power that counts, right?" "Sure, heh." "How do you plan to use yours?" "Well, I was thinking that instead of being an "It Girl" like you beautiful and unobtainable..." " Heh." "...maybe I could be more of an "Every Girl."" "You know, like someone everyone can relate to." "I don't know." "Maybe that's dumb." "Is that stupid?" "No, no, no." "No, heh, I just think, you know these things usually come and go pretty quickly, so I just..." "I wouldn't get used to it, you know." "But, um, there are some things that I have to do." "Maybe I can call you later and we can hang out?" "Okay, yeah." "Can we talk?" "Sure." "I don't think I realized just how upset you were with me till last night." "Or how much you were willing to fight for The Spectator." "I've been putting my heart and soul into this paper." " Of course I'm gonna fight for it." " I'd like us to work together." "Well, I don't know how to do that anymore." "Well I could apologize, for starters." "For not being honest from the very beginning about being in business with your grandfather." "It was a terrible thing to do to you." "Thank you." "Is that it?" "I could apologize for last night, but I thought that was a draw." "Heh, what about all the Gossip Girl sources you released?" "I didn't do that." "I thought you'd have found out by now." "After your grandfather intervened, it was all over." "I thought it would be easier for you to hate me." "And frankly, I think I wanted to punish myself a little for what I did to you." "So about us working together, what's that gonna look like?" "The Spectator is yours." "I'm just here in a support capacity." "In the meantime, I have some business I need to take care of." "That's gonna be my main focus." "And I've found another office downstairs." "Deal?" "Deal." "There's one more thing I should come clean about." "You were right about me still having feelings for you." "I know you're with Lola now, and I promise I won't let my feelings get in the way of your relationship or of our work." "Let me know if you need me." "Good to see you but you didn't need to come all the way to The Mark to meet me, Andrew." "You could have just e-mailed me." "That's why I came." "I don't think you should contact her, Chuck." "Look, I appreciate you looking out, but I want a relationship with my mother." "That's the thing." "Elizabeth is not your mother." "I made contact." "She swore it wasn't her who donated the blood." "Said she was in a monastery in Tibet at the time." "A monastery?" "She's lying." "She's good at that." "I looked into it." "Her story checks out." "Keep looking." "Someone donated that blood." "I want to know who." "What is this about?" "Look, the sun hasn't set." "I feel like a prom queen doing the walk of shame." "You look like a princess." "Now, I'm not gonna lie." "This is cubic zirconia that I got from a costume shop." "But you'll sell it." " Cubic zirconia does not touch this body." " Ha, ha." "Put it on, Blair." "I have hit rock bottom." "What is going on?" "I, uh, thought you should get to feel like a princess one last time." " OMG!" "It's Blair Waldorf!" " I can't believe this is happening." " You look beautiful!" " She's a real-life princess." "Let's get a picture with her!" "Here." " Yeah, absolutely." " Okay, ready, guys?" "Everybody smile." "Smile bigger!" " Thank you." " I love your crown!" " Oh, my God, you're amazing." " Stunning." " Amazing." " Love you." "Bye!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "It turns out that Lola staged that photo of herself in a fireman's jacket." "How desperate." "Doesn't she realize there can only be one "It Girl"  on the Upper East Side?" "And that will always be Serena van der Woodsen." "Nate Archibald's office, please." "He's not available right now." " Tell him it's Lola." " He's in with Diana." "He asked not to be disturbed." " Hey, Lola." "Can we get a picture?" " Look this way." "Come on, Lola." "Look this way." "Great." "You must be happy to be home." "Um, very much, Vanya." "Thank you." "I will go back down and get Mr. Humphrey's bags." "Well, um, actually, this is it for now." "Sometimes we fight for something  only to discover by the time we get it  our goals have changed." "For some, it's too late." "The lines have been drawn." "And the damage has been done." "But other times, you get the thing you always wanted  only to find out it isn't what you really need." "Get ready, kids, I'm back, and this time, I'm here to stay." "XOXO, Gossip Girl."
