"Gossip Girl here, your one and only source  into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite." "She's not Charlie Rhodes, she's Ivy Dickens." " A wanna-be actress from Florida." " Go before we call the police." "I'm not leaving town until I get what I deserve." "No one can touch me anymore." "I'm a Rhodes now." " Maureen's cheating on Tripp." " There must be some mistake." "Maureen's devoted." "I'll forget you running the story." "Don't let personal feelings against me make it any uglier." "I'll admit I saw the web page, but I had nothing to do with it coming out." "If you didn't do it, then who did?" "See those people leaving?" "Join them." "It wasn't until I saw you confronting Blair that I realized I had it wrong." " You're in love with her." " I'm not in love with Blair." "You've been good this whole time." "I wanted to move on, to give you the happy life you deserve." "I only turned dark and desperate because I was afraid of losing you." "Where has she been?" "And who am I?" "That's one secret I'll never tell." "You know you love me." "XOXO  Gossip Girl." "Apologies have been made and the security breach fixed  but two weeks later and still not one tip." "Apparently, no one can hold a grudge like an Upper East Sider." "And no one can lie like one either." "Here's to Charlie, who's learning it's never too late to be a debutante." "And to Mom, who couldn't refuse one last ball." "Oh." "It's not a ball." "It's just a party to introduce my darling niece into society." "Just because Carol made a mockery of her own debut does not mean Charlie should be cheated out of the experience." "She hired Karen Finley to go in her place." "When Carol's name was called Karen walks out wearing only chocolate and a hat." "I'm a Karen Finley fan, but it was a bit much." "We were barred from the Plaza for years." "Well, I'm honored." "And if the party wasn't enough Lily arranged for me to spend the day at the Plaza Athénée spa." "It's way too generous especially after everything I put you guys through with Max." "Please." "That was not your fault." "That young man had a lot of problems." "No wonder Serena was into him." "Anyway, I'm just eager to put this all behind me and start a new chapter in my life." "And, um, I got a job to help." "Nate offered me my old position back." "Wow." "Waffles, a new job, and a party in your honor?" "Not a bad day to be Charlie Rhodes." "Mm." "Not a bad day to be Dan Humphrey." "Being the target of a Twitter war pays off." "Inside is doing so well Simon  Schuster is giving it a second printing." "My editor wants to publish it with a new afterword now." "So I have no idea what to write." "I'm starting to understand the appeal of heroin or womanizing." "Whatever it is that writers do when they can't write." "Hard to find inspiration when you're not trashing friends?" "I don't have the pressure of it being turned into a movie." "Thanks." " That's enough." " You should not fight." "It's time to work it out." "I'm coming into the office now." "Cancel the meeting with Bloomberg." "There's too much going on." "Yeah, sounds good." "Thank you." "A week ago you couldn't get Bloomberg to give a quote to The Spectator and now you're canceling on him?" "That's a bold move, Nathaniel." "I'm almost aroused." "Since I published the article about staying independent from my family people are paying attention." " You're learning there are upsides to pissing off your family." " Grandfather actually loved the editorial." "So much so that he invited me to be his guest at Camp Allen this weekend." "Yeah, I leave for Vermont after work." "Yeah, you, Warren Buffett and every other finance and media titan." "World domination by day, debauchery by night." "The Allen retreat is legendary." "I pity the fool who tries to hire a call girl in Manhattan this weekend." "Yeah." "So, I have to ask you, why are you reading a rival paper?" "Huh?" "Oh, wow." "They might call the wedding off?" " Does this mean you?" " I'm sure it's not even true." "You should know better than anyone." "Stories are invented to sell papers to women who collect ceramic cats." " Still, maybe you should give her a call." "Louis is the father of her child." "There's no way Blair's walking away from that." "Same thing happening to me." "Pregnancy makes fingers swell up like kielbasas." "The paparazzi aren't downstairs to find out if your wedding is called off." "If they see me without my ring, they'll think it means something." "I start to think maybe it does." "Mr. Louis is back from third world." "It's been a week, he's still at the Consulate." "Where he'll remain until I decide what to do." "You know what to do." "Mr. Chuck told you secret to making Louis good man again." "Say like magic spell:" "Bibbidi bobbidy boo, I will never leave you." "Poof." "Louis will feel safe again, you live happily ever after." "But I'm not sure I can promise Louis I'll never leave him." "Handsome prince who is father of your child loves you." " What is stopping you?" " Nothing." "But unlike you, I don't just marry the first person who asks me." "It is the thought of Mr. Chuck that makes you unsure." "Of course not." "I will admit that Chuck has changed." "But this is about Louis." "Until I promise he'll never lose me or my fingers regain their elegant shape we are not leaving the apartment." " Could be long time." "We are going nowhere." "This is New York." "We can live on take-out for months." "I'm sorry, I assumed you were trying sabotage my book being made into a movie." "I'm sorry too." "That it didn't work out." "I really did want to make it happen for you." "But that's great about the second print of Inside." "You'll figure out the afterword." "I'm not sure." "I've never been stuck like this before." "What?" "It seems like an amazing opportunity to see how the book changed you, changed everyone." "Did it really change anyone?" "Yes." "Seeing where our characters ended made us realize where we didn't want to be." "Nate didn't want to be half a person and now he's running The Spectator." "And Chuck went from dying alone to therapy." " What about you?" " I thought I'd change my ending by getting the job with Jane, or this blog." "But the truth is, I'm still making horrible decisions in my love life." "I actually envy you." "You get this book where you get to see yourjourney." "See what choices you would make differently, where you went off-track." "I wish I had something like that." "If you really are looking for a history of Serena van der Woodsen there's always Gossip Girl." "I know, I know, I know." "But it's not like she hasn't chronicled your life since grammar school." "What harm could it be to look at old blasts?" "Maybe you'd learn something you didn't expect." "Um, Charlie's leaving and needs her coat." "Okay." "I'll bring it to her." "Thank you, Dan." "Good luck." "How did it go?" "Serenajust pointed out how the ending of my book changed everyone." " Except me, of course." " Not too late to change." "How?" "Writing-wise?" "Life-wise?" "I wouldn't know where to begin." "Well, for starters, Blair?" "I'm very observant." "Not to mention, you haven't really dated anyone since that kiss with Blair last spring." "Blair's getting married and having a baby with Louis." "If she wasn't with Louis, she'd be with Chuck." "Not me." "Maybe." "Even if Blair doesn't feel the same way it might be worth it for you to tell her how you feel at least so you can move on." "The last time I saw you concentrating that hard you were reading the instructions on how to assemble a hookah." "Tripp." "Hey, man." "What are you doing here?" "I had a meeting across the street, figured I'd stop in, say hey." "But, uh, I'll let you get back to it." "We're on for racquetball tomorrow?" "Actually, Grandfather is taking me to the Allen retreat tonight." " Heh." "Yeah, I thought you knew." " No." "I didn't." "Oh." "I'm sure it was a last minute decision." "I'm sorry he can't bring both of us." "Actually, it's okay." "The reason he asked you is because I backed out." "The truth is, I couldn't stand to be around him right now." "Why?" "What happened?" "Maureen and I have issues since she tried to release the fake affair story." "But something wasn't adding up." "She finally admitted Grandfather was behind the whole thing." "What?" "Why didn't she say something before?" "It was a strain on our marriage, and she got scared." "He made her do it." "Just because he said it was to help my campaign it doesn't make it okay." " No, of course not." "Anyway, I'm sorry to burden you with this." "Maybe it's better to know now before you go away with him." "Because he manipulated you too." "DVD on prenatal yoga." "Maybe we use this time to get in shape for childbirth." "Heh." "I plan on having my child the old-fashioned way, fully sedated." "The only downward dog I want to see you doing is cleaning up the dust from under that couch." "Ah." "Please." "I'm not even safe in my own home." "I have to get out of here." "Somewhere they'd never think to look for me." " We go to Dorota's in Queens." " Princesses don't go to Queens." "Need to marry Louis to be Princess." "Hello?" "I guess it's time for me to accept  if you want something badly enough you have to out and get it yourself." "Hey, I was wondering, what you were doing today?" "Coming to stay with you, actually." " Uh, okay." " Watch out, kids  the end of me just might turn out to be the end of one of you." "Sheets you brought are on the bed, Jo Malone candles in every room and every trace of my existence has been removed from the bathroom." "Thank you." "Just because I had to flee to the boroughs doesn't mean my Créme de la Mer should have to suffer too." "Saw your photo in the paper, is everything okay?" "Everything is horrible." "I need to go to Louis and reassure him he'll never lose me but something is stopping me." " Chuck is stopping you." "No." "I haven't spoken to Chuck." "You don't have to." "You two have a strange effect on each other." "Physicists should study it." "Fine." "Though the last thing you deserve is to hear these words." "You're right." "Chuck has finally become the person I always wanted him to be." "And I know how to change Louis back into the prince I fell in love with." "Which means I'm trapped." "I have to choose." "But I can't." "You have to help me." "Uh, okay." "Have you made a list of pros and cons?" "Sometimes that helps me." "Lists are for choosing bridesmaids, not who you spend your life with." "You're right." "Go the Howard Hughes route." "You'll figure it out by the time you pee in jars." "Fine." "Okay, I'll start with Chuck." "Pros:" "He truly has become a good man." "Cons:" "He's slept with every woman in New York." "Could be awkward at parties." "Sometimes fun, don'tjudge." "Okay, Louis, pros:" " Obviously, he's a prince." " Of Monaco." "What else?" "He's the father of my child." "The fact is I can make all the lists in the world but what else matters?" "I've pretended it's not a factor but it's everything, isn't it?" "Louis is the father of my child, so he is the only ending to this fairy tale, right?" "He doesn't have to be." "You don't think it would matter that my baby is another man's child?" "It wouldn't to me." "You're right." "I at least have to ask." "Uh, can you do me a favor and grab us some food?" "I'm famished." "This better be a long-distance call." "I told you, not leaving until I get my money." "Look, I offered you some cash to help you get back home and you said no." "Five thousand dollars?" "What good is that?" "I gave up everything for you." "Give me the amount you promised, or I'll tell anyone who will listen who you are." "Go ahead and try." "If my family didn't believe you, who will?" "What are you working on over there?" "I'm going through old Gossip Girl blasts to try to figure out when I started making bad romantic decisions." "It's a trip." "Which is also the name of one of my disastrous choices." "Hmm." "Not all bad, I hope." "No." "I'm up to junior year and there's a lot of stuff about me and Dan which is good." "Oh, my gosh, do you remember our first official date when he took me to Jean Georges to impress me?" "Heh." "I do." "Yeah, he was so nervous I considered slipping him a tranquilizer." "We had fun." "The truth is, I don't think I ever got it right before Dan or since him." "Besides Nate, he's probably the only good guy I've ever dated." "I can't disagree." "You guys were great together." "I don't think I realized how great at the time." "It's really something how those feelings turned into an enduring friendship." "Yeah, yeah." "Sure." "Of course." "That's weird, a Gossip Girl blast." "I noticed you haven't gotten a lot of those lately." "Everyone's afraid to send tips since identities were revealed." ""Since no one will dare to send in a scoop, I had to do my own stakeout." "And my hard work paid off." "Spotted:" "Possible royal runaway bride Blair Waldorf, being offered refuge at Lonely Boy's loft." "Looks like Brooklyn fools rush in."" "Guess Dan got the ending he wanted." "Good for him." "Hello, Blair." "I need your advice." "It seems as you've found your way, I've lost mine." "I didn't think Blair Waldorf could get lost." "Neither did I, but..." "I'm so lost, I wound up in Brooklyn." "There are worse places." "This isn't something Humphrey can help with?" "No." "Only you." "Do you think you could love another man's child?" "Why are you asking me this?" "I'm... paralyzed." "I can't move." "I can't breathe." "You have to help me." "I can't make this decision for you, Blair." "You're the one who has to live with it." "But... what's the right choice, Chuck?" "I can't imagine it would be a mistake to marry the father of your child, right?" "The story Maureen told about the affair did she do it on her own or were you involved?" "It was my idea." "I thought it would help Tripp." "Obviously, it was a mistake." "I planned to tell you this weekend but you beat me to it." "And, since we're having this conversation there's something else I was going to tell you." "It wasn't a coincidence that Diana hired you." "She did so at my request." "Wait, what?" "Why would you do that?" "The reason I came to work here was because I didn't want to get a job through my family." " I wanted to prove myself." " And you did." "I was worried for your future, Nathaniel." "I thought you might enjoy working in journalism." "And, in all honesty, I hoped I could control some of the press about Tripp." "Yeah, but why are you coming clean now?" "That editorial that you published, it made me realize you have an understanding of which direction the Vanderbilt family needs to go in if we're gonna continue to be leaders." " Not Tripp." " No." "Not anymore." "I should let you get back to work." "I know this is a lot to take in." "But I hope you will still be my guest this weekend." "I don't know." "I'm assuming Tripp is the one who told you about Maureen?" "I'm sorry he said anything before I was able to." "He always wanted me to take him to Camp Allen." "He was pretty upset when I invited you over him." "You never asked Tripp to go?" "Tripp's scared he's gonna lose the election and I think it's beginning to make him a little desperate." "I'm gonna head over there, have a talk with him." "Please, um, let me know if you change your mind about the weekend." "Nate?" " Hi." "Uh, Max Harding." "Ivy's..." " What do you want?" "There's something you need to know about Charlie." "You accused her of being an imposter." "Serena and Charlie already told me." "You're here because you want me to buy your story." " It's worth it." " What makes you think I believe anything you say?" " She's not who she says she is." "Serena, the loft is surrounded by paparazzi." "It's insane." "They're tracking Gossip Girl, who's tracking Blair to your door." "I know why you invited her there, and I think it's a huge mistake." "She and Louis may be having problems, but they're still engaged." "And then there's Chuck." "Dan, this is not the time to be throwing your hat into the ring." " Why do you care?" " Because unlike you I have her best interests at heart." "Telling her your feelings is not gonna change your ending it's just gonna mess with hers." "Well, the fact is, this doesn't concern you at all." "I'm gonna talk to Blair, and if it's the biggest disaster of my life it's my disaster, it's my ending." "So, please, stay out of it." "Fine." "But I may just help someone else get their ending." "Go ahead, Serena." "They say love is blind  but jealousy, it seems, provides a clear view all the way to Monaco." "Hey." "I'm sorry to bother you." "I was just leaving and I wanted to say hi." "No, please, come in." "You're the first friendly face I've seen all day." "It's that bad?" "Yeah, yeah." "Today, heh, yeah." "Hey, listen, I have to tell you." "Your, uh, ex, Max, came by to see me earlier." "He's trying to sell your story." "What did he say to you?" "He was looking for money." "He seemed pretty desperate though." "I kicked him out, but I thought you should know." "Just be careful." "Thanks, I will." "I'm sorry you're not gonna be able to make it to my party tonight." "Well, actually, I might be able to now." "My grandfatherjust admitted to me that the only reason I have this job is because he bought The Spectator." "And here I was thinking I was doing great work and so proud of it, and now I just feel like a total fraud." "Look, it doesn't matter how you got here, Nate." "Once you started the job, you did the work." "I read that editorial you wrote and it's clear that you've become the leader that you wanted to be." "If you deserve to be that person, then own it." "And never look back." " Thanks." " Yeah." "Thank you for letting me use the suite to set up, it's made things so much easier." "I hope we'll see you later." "As a public service, I'm staying home this evening." "I see." "Well, for what it's worth, Blair won't be attending." "Blair's schedule is of no interest to me." "I don't mean to pry, Charles but I have been worried about you as her wedding date approaches." "It can't be easy." "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine." "It's nothing that can't be fixed with a night of Scotch and perhaps a rogue socialite, if you care to send one my way." "Well, if you find that that falls short, I'm always here for you." "No matter how ugly or dark your feelings may be you should not have to bear them alone." "I appreciate it, Lily, but you have no idea what you'd be taking on." "Are you kidding?" "Of course I do." "Try as you might, you don't scare me." "I'm sorry to inform you that my love for you is unconditional." "Ha." "The idea of unconditional love is as quaint as the tooth fairy or environmentally-friendly dry cleaning." "No, no." "Not when you're a parent." "Look, you might only be my son by marriage, Charles but I've always loved you as my own." "And I hope you get the opportunity to feel that kind of love with someone someday." "I haven't heard from her in weeks." "I'm going out of my mind." "Well, maybe I can help you." "Why?" "I thought after what happened at the shower you would want me as far away from Blair as possible." "It's not for you, it's for her." "I just want Blair to be happy and all of her dreams to come true." "And I believe you're the one that can do that for her." "But you have to promise, no more scheming." "Of course." "I realize now how wrong I was." "I'm not looking at the gossip sites, I'm not reading the newspapers." "I just want Blair back." "But I can't tell her this, I don't even know where she is." "I do." "It's decided." "Chuck?" "No." "Apparently, there are some risks even Chuck Bass isn't willing to take." "So... problem solved." "Congratulations?" "I'm not crying." "You smell like onions." "Blair, what if you don't marry Louis?" "And what?" "Be alone?" "No." "What do you really want?" "To be happy." "But I don't think I know how to anymore." "Well, I think I know how to make you happy." "I spoke with Nathaniel." "He told me about your visit." "How dare you try to undermine my relationship with my grandson?" "What'd you expect?" "I'd give up everything without a fight because you decided Nate was the future of this family?" "You've been the engine behind my entire career." "And that can only last for so long." "The voters are not behind you." "You can change that and you know it." "If you abandon me now, I'll lose the election." "I'll have nothing." "My mind's made up." "Nate called to confirm he's coming with me this weekend, plans have all been arranged." "Time to get on board." "Congressman?" " I think we can help each other." " I'm sorry, who are you?" "Someone who's sick at being pushed around by these people." " What are you doing here?" " Apparently, the same as you." "The prince and the pill popper." "This should be fun." "Shall we?" "No one's answering." "The man can't hold his liquor or his narcotics." "The last time he tried to crash at my place I learned where he hid his spare key." "Sorry, boys, but didn't you know  that if you wait too long to seize the day..." " Gone." " Where would she go?" " The one you want can get away?" "There she is." "Charlie, this is Matthew Lynch." "He's covering the party for Women's Wear Daily." " You look fantastic." "Who you wearing?" " Uh, thank you." "Badgley Mischka." " It's great." " Shall we go get ourselves a drink?" " Enjoy your night." " Thanks." "Thank you so much." "This party is a dream come true." "I just can't believe that you would do all this for me." "Oh, my darling, you are family." "This is what we do for family." "Take this polyester rag off my face right now, Humphrey." "And who doesn't keep a silk blindfold in their bedside table?" "You've brought me to watch a human sacrifice." "Or an episode of The Bachelor." "Either way, I am not happy." "Would you relax?" "You are totally safe." "The paparazzi have no idea where you are." "We took the service elevator out of my apartment." " So I'll be right back." " No, no." "You are not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on." "Would you trust me?" "I'm not in the habit of doing that." "Well, you don't really have a choice, now, do you?" "Just pull around to the garage." " Evening, sir." " Thank you." " What are you doing here?" " Thought I'd check out Charlie's party." "Yeah?" "You leave her alone." "Just because you're not interested in my story doesn't mean someone else won't be." "I heard there are reporters here tonight." "A society princess exposed as a white-trash fraud?" "Sounds pretty compelling to me." "Yeah, well, guess I'll have to make sure no one lets you in the door." "Charlie, hey." "Nate." "I didn't think you'd be here." "Yeah, I can't stay." "But listen, I wanna give you a heads up, Max is here." "He told me he's gonna sell his story to one of the reporters covering your party." "But it's all lies." "You don't think anyone would believe him, right?" "Yeah, but a story's a story." "True or false, it can take on a life of its own." "Louis, she wasn't at Dan's?" "Okay, I'll find out where she is." "I promise, Louis." "Bye." " Have either of you seen Blair or Dan?" " There's Dan." "Listen, Humphrey." "I don't wanna play hide-and-seek right now." "Just tell me where the hell Blair is." "What's he doing?" "Looks like he's helping Chuck and Blair finally be together." "Um, would you guys excuse me?" "I'm gonna go have a drink." "I hope the paparazzi don't know Blair's here." "They would storm the Empire and ruin the whole party trying to get a photo." "Seriously?" "The paparazzi could shut down the party?" "Especially if they knew Blair was here with Chuck." "I'll go talk to security about Max." "What's going on?" "Did you have something to do with this?" "No." "Dan arranged it for us." "What "us"?" "The us I should have fought for when you called." "The us that is not just you and me, but you, me, and your baby." "Then why did you tell me to choose Louis?" "I thought it was selfish if I was the one to tell you to break up your family." "That was the moment you chose not to be selfish?" "Timing has never been our strong suit." "I had it all wrong." "Just because Louis is the father of your baby does not mean you should be with him." "You should be with me." "Why?" "Because I'm going to love your baby as much as I love you." "What is it?" "Gossip Girl." "Someone sent out a blast that I'm here, with you." "I don't want any photos of us to get back to Louis before I can talk to him." " I gotta get out of here." " Wait." "I wanna come with you." "Sorry to bother you." "Just wanna make sure you saw the Gossip Girl blast." "We need to leave immediately." " I have a car here waiting for me." " So do I." "Perfect, they'll be down in the garage." "We can go through there." "Come on." "I'd like to have everyone's attention, please." "The paparazzi are aggressive tonight." "They must really want a shot of our new it girl." "I'd like to say a few words about my lovely niece, Charlotte Rhodes." "Since she didn't grow up in New York, you haven't had the opportunity to know what a wonderful woman she is." "I hope, starting tonight, you get that chance." "Charlie?" "Took you long enough." "And I'm not talking about the walk from the lobby to here." "Have a good trip, Nathaniel." "Camus said that life is the sum of our choices." "Choose wisely and fortune smiles upon you." "But choose poorly?" "You never know what price you'll have to pay." "Hey." " Hey." " You okay?" "Yeah, I'm okay adjacent." "I'm sorry I came down so hard on you before." "You were right." "I was gonna tell Blair how I felt about her." "You mean, you were gonna tell her you love her?" "In spite of myself, and honestly, many times, in spite of her." "I didn't..." "I mean, I didn't want to." "I kept trying to make it go away, but how do you kill a feeling?" "I don't know." "Heh." "When you told me about the idea of rewriting the end of my story I thought, "Maybe..." "Maybe that's the answer."" "Then what stopped you?" "When I saw Blair, she'd gotten off the phone with Chuck and was heartbroken." "I'd been so consumed with my own feelings that I wouldn't let myself see how much she loves Chuck." "You were right." "She didn't need my confession, she needed my help." "Wow, that's..." "That's a really amazing thing to do, Dan." "Yeah, well, I mean, heh, it wasn't easy but I do think, uh, that I can give myself a new ending by making sure Chuck and Blair get the ending they deserve." "I want her to be happy." " Gotta get started on this afterword." " Dan..." "You're one of the good ones, you know." "Thanks." "You have fun at your party?" "When are you gonna leave me alone?" "Starting now, actually." "Got some money, going back to Portland." " Good." " You think once I'm gone, you're free." "The truth is, once I go, Ivy, you are trapped in this lie forever." "Look, I worked hard to get here." "Trust me, I couldn't be happier." "Maybe for now." "That'll wear off eventually." "No actress wants to play the same role her entire life." "This is more than just a role." "This is my life now." "And these people are my family." "How can their love be real when you're a total fake?" "Whoa, are those paparazzi?" "Yeah, chasing the car in front of us." "Pretty aggressive." "Yeah, I think they're chasing my friends." "I have to tell Louis face-to-face that the wedding is off." " He deserves at least that." " Are you sure you wanna do this?" "A prince, a fairy tale wedding, this is all you ever wanted." "No." "You're all I ever wanted." "I love you." "I love every part of you." "I couldn't tell Louis that he would never lose me because it wasn't true." "You are the one I never wanna leave." "Okay, uh, how do you wanna do this?" "First we have to go to the Consulate so I can tell Louis it's off." "Then, I don't know, we can go anywhere." "Switzerland has impeccable schools." "Or maybe Tokyo?" "They have Opening Ceremony and great test scores." "Blair, we don't need to go anywhere." "We can raise this baby right here." "Look at them." "Hey, Grandfather." "I was a little delayed leaving the Empire, but I'm on my way to Westchester now." "I thought I was taking you to the Upper East Side." "What?" "No, no, no." "Hey, hey, let me call you back." "What?" "No." "I have a flight out of Westchester Airport in 45 minutes." "I just gotta get out of the park and turn around." " It's not a problem." " All right, thank you." "Those motorcycles are out of control." "What the hell are they doing?" "Oh, my God!" "Nate, I got your messages." "Are Chuck and Blair okay?" "I don't know, but I saw the whole thing." "I stayed until the ambulances came." "They're with the doctors now." "I spoke with the EMT who brought them in." "He said it's pretty bad." "Okay." "Okay." "Eleanor, Cyrus, Harold and Roman are all flying in on the next flight from Paris." "Eleanor was distraught." "Hey." "Oh, honey." "Uh, Serena texted me." "Are Blair and Chuck all right?" "We don't know yet." "We're hoping for the best." "I'm gonna go track down the doctor and see if I can get an update." "This is all Gossip Girl's fault." "If she hadn't sent out that blast..." "I'm not trying to defend her but it's not like Gossip Girl chased Chuck and Blair through Manhattan." "She may as well have." "If Gossip Girl didn't exist Chuck and Blair would not be in the hospital fighting for their lives." "I spent the whole morning looking in her old blasts." "It's unbelievable the amount of pain she's caused." "This is just the culmination of years of damage." "So, what do you wanna do?" "I wanna finish what Diana started." "Take Gossip Girl down for good." "I'm with you." "And I think we should use The Spectator to do it." "Charlie, are you okay?" "No." "No, I'm not." "This is all my fault." "What are you talking about?" "Of course it's not." "I sent the Gossip Girl blast." "Why?" "I didn't do it to hurt Blair." "I was just trying to protect myself." "From what?" "Max showed up tonight." "He was threatening to sell my story to the reporters covering the party." "I thought that if I sent the blast then the paparazzi would show up crash the party and it would shut down before Max could do any damage." "But what damage could he do?" "Max is a complete fraud." "Rufus, I'm sorry." "It's me, I'm the fraud." "I just spoke to the doctor and, um, the good news is that Blair is awake and responsive." "And Chuck?" "Carol, it's me, Ivy." "I gotta get out of here." "I'm leaving tonight." "This time I'm not coming back." "We all like to think that we are in the driver's seat of our own lives  but the truth is, the idea that we can control our fate is an illusion." "You can choose the most loyal friends, the dream job, the truest love..." "There's been an accident." "How bad?" "You know I wouldn't take a risk like this if it wasn't serious." "I had no choice." "Okay, Jack, I'll get on the next plane." "You'll meet us there?" "Of course." "Thank you, Diana." "It's not me you should thank." "... but at the end of the day, our fate is decided for us." "All we can do is hope we have the strength  to cope with the hand she deals us."
