Gossip Girl (2007–2012): Season 3, Episode 5 - Rufus Getting Married - full transcript

Lily and Rufus decide to move up their wedding to the next day, but a series of complications threaten to tear them back apart again. Meanwhile, Chuck discovers a secret that Carter has ...

Gossip Girl here,
your one and only source...

...into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.

We should cool things off for a while.
Take a break. We did say "no strings."

Right. No strings.

- Tell me the truth, or we're over.
- I'm Rufus and Lily's son.

Georgina. I'll be there in a second.

Things were easier
when we were younger.

We just jumped into things.
Why can't we be more like that?

Marry me, Lily.

Next time you forget
you're Blair Waldorf...

...remember I'm Chuck Bass
and I love you.



- Scott, what's going on?
- The truth. I'm your son's brother.

If you're looking for the excuse to bolt,
you're gonna find one.

I'm not looking for an excuse.

I didn't give you a chance
to know both sides...

...and I'm wondering
if you still want to.

I don't know why
I'm pretending to think. Yes.

- Of course.
- This is your fault.

- Not fair.
- Not fair?

I take care of my mother,
my daughter is not going to college.

I'm headed home
to face the firing squad.

Considering, being able to find you
is gonna go a long way.

Go ahead and run if you want.
You know how much Daddy loves to hunt.

Where has she been?

And who am I?



That's one secret I'll never tell.

You know you love me. XOXO...

...Gossip Girl.

Some say love is a river.

Some say love's a silly song.

Some say love is all around us.

It lifts us up where we belong.

Some say love
is hearing laughter in the rain.

But on the Upper East Side,
we all know love is pain.

Toasted blueberry? You spoil me.

Dorota offered eggs...

...but I thought it was the duty
of the devoted lover to provide.

- I missed you.
- Yeah.

You showed me just how much
when I got in last night.

So how was your trip?

- You get your money from your buddy?
- No. And I would have let it slide...

...but my parents cutting me off...
- I get it.

Working for KC is nowhere near as
lucrative as being Lily Bass' daughter.

For now, toaster pastries
are all I can afford.

Just go. Talk to her.

- For me.
- Fine.

But you have to do something for me.
Take my place at dim sum.

- Dumplings with Blair and Chuck?
- And Nate.

You can do some recon.
Blair hates Nate's new girlfriend.

Find out if she's really that bad.
I bet Bree is perfectly nice...

...even though she is a Buckley.

Uh, unfortunately, I do have more people
who owe me money to talk to.

Fine.

Eat up.

One second, I'm telling Olivia
to say hi to Godzilla from me.

- Funny, right?
- More so than your awful sushi puns.

I'm a terrible IM flirter.

But as long as Olivia's on this tour,
I have no choice.

And anyway, you know,
"sashimi later" was charming.

Why are you using my name again?

Every time I log on,
Georgina pounces on my IM.

I broke up with her. I don't know
how much more clear I can be.

Tell her you're dating someone else.

We all live on the same floor.
She's gonna figure it out.

Point taken. I'll e-mail her later.

- You talk to Scott at all?
- I called but he hasn't called me back.

- I guess he didn't like me that much.
- Really? It didn't seem like that.

I'm sorry. I know you really liked him.
I did too.

I guess because in a weird way
we were kind of related.

I'm gonna hit the Bleecker,
do you want a coffee?

No, no, no. You go.

Ohh. The toilets in Tokyo talk.

- Hi. Um, I'll have a non-fat latte.
- Sure.

Hi. Did you miss me?

Georgina.

The blood-sucker is back.

I saw her coffin and telltale
Louis Vuitton broom on the floor.

- Vampires don't ride brooms.
- Leave it to her to start a mutant strain.

My roommate and I
didn't see eye-to-eye at first.

I bought ice cream cone cupcakes
from the Treats Truck and we bonded.

She taught me how to say hello
in Swahili. Jambo.

Aww. Do you know what the Swahili
is for "mind your own beeswax"?

No reason, of course.
Just might be useful someday.

- Come on.
- So you went home last week?

Yeah, tried to mend
the "I'm dating a Vanderbilt" fence.

Didn't work. We're southern
so family loyalty's really big.

Like slavery.

What? I'm joking.
You know I'm joking, right, Bree?

How's Serena? Still dating Baizen,
or has she come to her senses?

Carter Baizen? Is he in town?
I heard he was away on business.

He is. Traveling is so important.

Bree, you ever thought about traveling?
Somewhere far away?

- I wasn't aware you knew Carter.
- Yeah.

Our families used to vacation together.

I've been trying to track him down.

- Mind if I order?
- She was in Shanghai last year.

Nate doesn't like tofu and he hasn't
eaten pork since he saw Babe.

With me.

Well, okay, um, I'll let you guys
fend for yourself.

If you'll excuse me.

- Blair.
- What?

I'll go apologize.

So you're happy,
don't I deserve to be happy as well?

Trust me, Nate, I know women...

...and none of us are that nice.

He'll be back soon.

He's in love.

You looking for Carter?

The worm's dating my stepsister.

If he's done something to you
I need to know.

Any enemy of Carter's
is a friend of mine.

I can't really talk about it. But, uh,
you should tell your stepsister to be careful.

Oh, and, uh, if the worm pops out
of the ground, let me know, okay?

That was by far your best wedding.

The flowers, the foie gras.

Who would've guessed
Klaus would've auf'd?

Well, the worst thing is,
I thought he would make me happy.

I thought all of them would.

- What are you doing here?
- I wanted to clear the air.

I'm sorry. I know you're disappointed
that I'm not going to Brown.

- I know that you're angry that I left...
- I'm not angry at you, Serena.

I should've been here
to help with the decision...

...instead of leaving you with
yet another man who doesn't get it.

Mom, what are you talking about?
You and Rufus are the perfect couple.

Thank you for stopping by.

- What's going on with Mom and Rufus?
- Oh, you didn't know?

- They're in a cold war since you left.
- Over Brown?

On the surface, yeah.

I have a feeling Mom's
flipping out about other things too.

They could be in real trouble.

Dad, hey, what are you doing here?

- I've been running.
- You've been...?

With jeans on? That didn't chafe?

If you don't mind,
I need to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Maybe longer.

- Dan. Hey.
- Yeah, hey, listen.

Uh, I know my dad and Lily
have been having a rough go...

...but things may have taken a turn.

- He's spending the night here.
- Oh, no.

They need to sit down and talk.
Remind themselves...

...of how much they love each other
before this gets any more out of hand.

I'm gonna figure out a way, okay?
I promise.

Why won't he respond to any of my calls
or texts or my animated e-cards?

Are you serious?

The last one I sent
was this adorable singing dog.

Okay, Dan didn't write you back
because, A, he broke up with you...

...B, he's seeing someone else...

...C, even though I tried to defend you,
you're a full-on crazy person.

Can we go back to B?

He can't be seeing someone else
because we just broke up, and...

Okay.

- You're gonna get Dan to dump her.
- Why would I do that?

I didn't visit my family last week,
I was in Boston.

You know, I met the sweetest guy.
I think you know him.

- Scott Rosson?
- Oh, my God.

He just had so much on his mind.

And after several glasses of wine,
slightly enhanced...

...you won't believe what he told me.
- What are you saying?

Get Dan to dump the whore...

...or I'm gonna tell Scott's secret.

And that would be too bad...

...because, A,
that's the last thing he wants...

...B, how do you think
Dan's gonna feel...

...when he finds out you've known his
brother's been alive the whole time?

And, C, who are you gonna hang out
with when all the Humphreys hate you?

Should we review B again?

Some say love is a secret you keep sealed...

...but to Georgina Sparks,
love's always a battlefield.

- All right, what's the emergency?
- I hate to be the one to tell you...

...but according to the Star...

...Olivia's been spotted all over Japan
canoodling with Orlando Bloom.

I'm not worried.
They're apparently good friends.

So... Am I on speaker?

Also US Weekly
has her on baby bump watch.

I thought you'd wanna know
with the Orlando Bloom connection.

Since when do you read gossip?

They're Olivia's.
She subscribes to both.

Which speaks a lot to her character,
don't you think?

Look, I don't believe that, obviously,
and neither do you.

What are you trying to tell me?

Don't you think dating a movie star's
gonna be kind of hard?

I mean, wouldn't you rather be
with someone from New York?

History.

Who you have history with?

Look, I don't know if you're joking
or if Lenny made brownies again...

...but I'm kind of in the middle of
something so we'll talk later, all right?

That was pathetic.

Haven't you tried to get somebody
to dump a celebrity before?

No.

That's okay. Plan B. You're familiar
with Photoshop, I presume.

Great idea. I needed some family time.
Let's order.

Uh, no. I'm still deciding.

You've eaten the same thing here
since you were 11.

- If KC is texting you, you should go.
- I will in a minute.

Well, the three of us can do
family lunch any time. Some other...

You're kidding.

I let you watch The Parent Trap
too many times.

- It's time for you to talk.
- You love each other.

It's not Rufus' fault
I made the decision not to go.

Can you please sit down? For us?

Well, I do love the Bolognese here.

- I can't believe that actually worked.
- I know, I'm a genius.

Which doesn't explain why
I'll be reorganizing KC's shoe closet.

Gotta go.

Carter is not who you think he is. Ohh.

I know you don't like to discuss this...

...but he wasn't the cause of my spiral,
just a symptom.

And he makes Serena truly happy. Ohh!

- What is this? It's incredible.
- Buntautuk.

I learned it from a master
in Chiang Mai.

Serena's deluded.

The guy's not capable
of genuine feelings.

He's brought out
a different side of her.

They're all happy and domestic
nested up at my mother's. Ohh!

Carter's at your penthouse?

Why wouldn't you tell Bree that
when she asked?

Ooh. He got in last night.
She just called me a couple hours ago.

Anyway, why would I tell
that future NASCAR mom anything?

I hate her
and the tractor she rode in on.

What you hate is Nate moving on.

Look, I love you. But Nate liking Bree
doesn't make her a piranha.

And Serena liking Carter
doesn't make him a prince.

Hey, where are you going?
I have tension.

So maybe I'm crazy...

...but I think Vanessa is trying
to get me to break up with Olivia.

- Ooh. Evidence?
- There was this tabloid-magazine thing.

Then she gave me this speech...

...about how I should be with someone
I share history with.

- Mystery solved.
- Uh, yeah. Duh.

Everyone knows
how she feels about you.

What? No. Come on.
No, that was years ago.

- That can't be.
- Ever seen a romantic comedy?

This is the scene
before you chase her...

...and tell her you can't believe
how blind you were.

You like Olivia, right?

- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I do.
- Then you better tell Vanessa that.

Do you remember that night in Amherst?
We'd just opened for Sonic Youth.

It was pouring and we couldn't
bear another night in the van.

And we sprung for a room
in that quirky little inn.

- Skylark.
- You remember.

Of course I do. They served us wine
in Welcome Back, Kotter mugs.

- I swiped Horshack for you.
- Yeah.

- That was a perfect night.
- It was.

I know we talked about the Pierre...

...but an inn like the Skylark
might be a cool place to get married in.

No offense, but you've already done
the fancy-wedding thing. A few times.

Don't you wanna do something
more us?

Well, yeah, that's great, Rufus.

I'm sure Mayor Bloomberg
would feel perfectly comfortable...

...toasting us with a
Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington cup.

- That is so you, not us.
- I didn't realize the mayor was coming.

- I've never met the man.
- There are expectations...

...that come with being Lily Bass.
You understand that?

Maybe I don't.
Every time we get to a good place...

...I say something that makes you angry.
- Because you can't compromise.

You know what?

Maybe we aren't ready to talk.

Maybe we're not.

Oh, my God.

Dan. What are you doing here?
I can explain.

You know what? It's okay.
You can tell me, all right?

- I'm your best friend. I can handle it.
- I don't think I can.

I know. I've known deep down
for a couple months.

- The way you broke up with Scott.
- Yeah, I had to.

- Hanging out in the Hamptons.
- How does that have to do with...?

I gotta be honest, you know.
I really like Olivia.

Whoa, Dan,
you're way off base right now.

- I've always cared about you.
- Stop!

I'm not in love with you, moron.

- Georgina's been blackmailing me.
- What? Why?

Vanessa, look, I'm your best friend.
You can tell me. You have to tell me.

What does she have on you?

She knows that I know...

...Scott...

...is your brother.

- Rufus?
- Lily? Where are you?

Where are you? I'm at the loft.

I came to apologize.

- I don't know why I got so crazy.
- You were right.

I am never really gonna understand
this world I am now a part of.

- That doesn't stop me from loving you.
- I love you too.

Well, we can keep asking
if we can do this...

...we can keep planning and talking
and adjusting and talking some more...

...or we can just leap.

- So let's leap. Let's get married.
- We're already getting married.

I mean soon. I mean tomorrow.
We leap.

Oh, my God. Yes.

We leap.

Put on those dancing shoes, kids.

Looks like we're going to the chapel.

The Whitney is a no.
Harvard Club a no.

Colicchio laughed
when I asked about Craft.

The only time I wanna hear no
is if Ruth Madoff wants an invite.

Constance crew, what've you got?

- My sister can handle the flowers.
- Great.

We've got cake. My aunt owns
a bakery, she found a "cancellation."

I'm sorry. My family's in
investment banking, they're all broke.

Then you can go.

- Dorota?
- I call the Sonic Youths.

They in North Hampton,
will try to make it.

Acceptable.

Jenny, you okay?
You been working all night.

Yeah. It's like my own
Project Runway challenge.

Wow, this is really happening.

- Are you sure you don't need any help?
- Don't worry about any of the details.

You work on getting married.
And vows.

Oh, I just finished.

Then let me hear them.

Yeah, Aunt Irene. I'll see you then?

Okay. Yeah, the socks fit perfectly.
All right. Bye.

- Don't make me do this.
- Matter of time before Georgina spills.

- That's why we should tell my dad.
- This was your idea.

Lily and your dad are too precarious.
You can't drop a bomb like that.

Hold Georgina off for one more day.
You can do this.

- Be strong.
- Okay, just, um, remind me later to kill you.

Dad, listen.
I gotta go out for a couple hours...

...but I will be back as soon as I can.

- It's my wedding. Where you going?
- You don't wanna know.

But it's absolutely, absolutely important.
I promise.

Watching the sun set
over the ocean that day...

...I knew that Rufus Humphrey
was meant for me.

Are you kidding me?
Those could be the vows for Klaus.

Lederhosen for Doc Martens
and Nice for Santa Cruz.

No, they couldn't.

Oh, God. I'm terrible at this.
What do I say?

This wedding isn't like your others.

You're marrying Rufus.
Your soul mate, the love of your life.

Talk about that and your future together.
What you'll do. That kind of stuff.

- God.
- Serena.

I just got off with the mayor.
He's agreed to expedite permits.

Lily can get married
at the Botanic Garden.

Perfect. What are we waiting for?

Amalia, mean girls,
go to the garden, get to work.

Blair, whip-cracking duty,
I'll deal with the caterers.

- Mom, just please work on those vows.
- Okay.

We'll handle everything else.

Wow. I wondered
what happened to Poppy.

I had no idea it was that easy
to get someone deported.

That is... That's so thoughtful.
That's so Georgina.

I missed you while you were away.

You did?

- I heard you were seeing someone.
- I was.

Turns out she was dating Orlando Bloom
behind my back, believe that?

- No.
- Yeah.

Huh. It is amazing how down
that guy's star-o-meter has gone.

I shouldn't have been with someone
like that. There's no history there.

In fact, I was thinking that maybe
we could hit the reset button on us.

You know, like go on a date,
something like that.

Really?

You want me at your dad's wedding?

I read about it on Gossip Girl.

Uh, that's kind of a...
It's a private event. It's small.

- Uh, so tomorrow.
- Oh. Yeah. Okay.

- That works.
- Great.

Okay.

What does it mean when someone
used to grab your ass, but now doesn't?

It means that someone's a big fat liar.

- How is my favorite bridesmaid?
- Working my butt off, but happy.

- You're coming?
- I wouldn't miss you pink and poufy.

You've been avoiding my friends...

...but this is important.

- I know.
- You can't hide forever.

- Chuck is prickly.
- I'll be there.

And I'm not afraid of Chuck.

I wouldn't pull out the suit quite yet.

I've spoken to Bree Buckley.
She told me everything.

- Did you tell her where I was?
- I told her there's a wedding...

...that she wouldn't wanna miss.

- You're setting me up?
- No, I'm giving you a choice.

You can go to the wedding
and tell Serena the ugly truth.

Even if by some chance
she can stomach you after that...

...you still have to deal with Bree,
her family...

...and a little thing I like to call
southern justice.

Or?

I'm getting sick of being
your travel agent. This ticket's the last.

And it's one way.

Georgina, hey. Wow, uh...

So how'd everything go with Vanessa?
Does she even wanna see me?

You know what?
We're going to surprise her right now.

Let's buy you a tie.

Looks like this wedding song
just became "Stormy Weather."

But don't worry, here comes the sun.

- The Sonic Youths stuck in traffic.
- It's okay, Dorota.

But next time,
remember Mr. Chuck has a chopper.

Seen Carter?
I haven't been able to reach him.

It's still early. He'll be here.

Go. Flit. Mingle.

I'll keep an eye out. Don't worry.

I'm so glad you invited me, Nate.

Well, I'm just glad
Blair didn't scare you off.

- Are you looking for someone?
- No. No. I'm just taking it all in. It's...

Perfect.

It's the perfect location,
the perfect weather.

- Eric, it's the perfect wedding.
- I know.

Carter is more than fashionably late.

It better be because he's lost his keys
or he got hit by a pedi-cab...

...not because of something you did.
- Serena will be better without Carter.

Which is why I offered him
an easy way out.

I don't care what Bree told you,
Carter is a new man with Serena.

- He won't miss it.
- Well, we'll see who's right.

In the meantime,
I'm going to get a canap?.

I nearly choked. She shoved her tongue
right down my throat.

I did some great acting.
Totally pulled it off.

It'll be worth it
when you see them married.

- You're right. You're right, right?
- I hope so. I'll see you soon.

- Try not to worry.
- Yep.

- Oh, Jenny, it's gorgeous.
- Thanks.

You know, Lily, it wasn't easy for me
when my parents split up.

And, uh, it was even harder when I realized
my dad was in love with someone else.

But the truth is, I've never seen him
happier than he is with you.

That is so sweet.

I can't wait for you
to hear his vows.

They're all about
your future together, and...

I don't wanna spoil them,
but they're beautiful.

I'm gonna go. You look amazing.
See you out there.

Thank you.

Looks like I was right,
and you were wrong.

Hey, you okay?

No.

You might not be either
when you hear what I have to say.

A few months before we left
to search for your dad...

...l, uh, ran up some gambling debt.

I owed a lot of money
to some scary people.

And then I met this woman, Beth.

She was shy, kind and, well,
she fell in love with me...

...and I saw an opportunity.

- She had money?
- Her family did.

And I knew they'd take care
of my debts...

...if it looked like
I was about to be one of them.

So I proposed.

The wedding was all planned.

She had her dress, flowers.

And I nearly went through with it...

...but I didn't love her.

- You just disappeared?
- It's the worst thing I've ever done.

You buy this girl a ring,
you tell her you love her...

Did you make her breakfast
in the morning too?

- It's not the same.
- Carter, I have to go.

My mother's getting married
right now.

I've been looking all over for you.

Georgina, hey. What a great surprise.

I thought our date was tomorrow.

It is. I just stopped by to give
Lily and Rufus a wedding present.

Hey, what was that about?

You look beautiful, Lil. Come on.

Can we just talk for a second?

I don't get it.

- Everything came together for today.
- I'm sorry.

I can't write my vows.

How could I? We don't agree
on how to raise children...

...or how to get married or anything.

- What happened to taking a leap?
- But the stakes are too high.

Ah, the "Wedding March."
Here comes the awkward pause.

Uh, I'm sorry, everyone.
There's been a slight delay. Uh...

I'm sure there's just a tear in her hem
or something.

I'll check and I'll be right back.

Looks like the wedding dress
might have a runaway train.

I can't believe you.
Wanna know what our future looks like?

It looks like this.

We are going to fight,
we're gonna wanna kill each other.

That's what marriage is,
not running from every problem.

Sticking it out. Committing.

Do you think you can do that?

I, uh...

I don't think I can.

Wait. So you're not getting married?

- Scott?
- What? Who are you?

This is a private conversation
at a private event. How dare you?

- What, do you know him?
- Oh, uh...

- Yeah, that was...
- Your love child. Yeah, not dead.

Congratulations, it's a boy.

Ooh, ooh, love child,
things didn't get any easier.

Might have to move the honeymoon
suite to the heartbreak hotel.

Wait. What was she talking about?

Don't believe her. Georgina is a liar.

- What is she even doing here?
- Our son is dead, isn't he?

- That was Scott, Andrew's brother.
- You know Andrew's brother?

- That's at least what he told me.
- Dad. Dad, Dad, Dad. Lily. Um...

Scott, um... Scott is your son.

I'm sorry. I was gonna tell you after
the wedding. I found out yesterday.

Scott is?

- How is that possible?
- The Rossons lied.

Andrew wasn't your son, Scott is.

- He wasn't ready to tell you.
- I have to find him.

- Where do you think he went?
- Back to Boston. He takes the bus.

- I'm going.
- Well, I'm coming with.

We're doing this together.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Will you just leave?

Please. I need some time.

So you know, I told you what I told you
because it's not the same with you.

I really do care about you, Serena.

So much.

Hey, Carter.

You remember my cousin Beth's brothers.
Played defensive line for Arnett Mead.

I'll be at the Downing tonight.
We can't do this here.

They'll be watching.

What? It's not like somebody else
is gonna eat this now.

Mm. Hey, guys. Great wedding, huh?

Rufus, we drove around the entire block.
He's not here, Vanessa was wrong.

The bus for Boston leaves in eight
minutes so he could still come.

He could be anywhere.
Let's go back to the bus stop.

- But...
- Let's go.

- Well, what's the point?
- The point is, we can still find him.

Well, and if we do?
After what I just did...

- What am I supposed to say?
- That we're his parents and we're here.

- Love can fix things.
- We both know that's not true.

You know what?

I don't. You...

What Scott saw was you grasping
at anything you can to push me away.

- That is not true.
- It was Serena...

...then the mugs.
You can't see the future.

I'm scared of the future.
I'm scared of a lot.

You're in love like you've never
loved any of your husbands.

And unlike a Bass,
someone like me can break your heart.

And that's terrifying.

I know because you're breaking mine.

Scott.

Scott.

Scott.

- Stop. This was a mistake.
- Don't say that.

All my life
I wondered about my real parents.

When I found out
they were you and Lily...

...that you were getting married...

...I hoped that I'd find out
that you gave me up...

...because you weren't ready...

...not because
you didn't love each other.

The difference is now we want you,
need you in our lives.

We've got problems,
but Lily and I love our children.

And we love each other.

He's right.

He's the best father
and the best man I've ever known.

And I am scared.

Marrying you means finally giving myself
a real partner, my children a real father...

...and finally letting myself truly love.

- Lily...
- I'm sorry, Rufus.

And I'm sorry, Scott,
that this is how you had to meet me...

...because all I've thought about
for the last 20 years...

...is holding our child in my arms.

Please, give us a chance.

Spotted, a family reunited.

And it feels so good.

And I promise to eat caviar
without spitting it in my napkin...

...when we go to dinner
at Mayor Bloomberg's.

As long as he knows when he comes
to our house, he's eating my chili.

- Lily?
- And Rufus, um...

...I know that our future
will be just like us:

Flawed and fragmented...

...and full of more love
than I ever thought possible.

I am so excited
for you to be my husband.

And for our children, all of them,
to be my family.

Well, by the power vested in me
by a sketchy service on the Internet...

...I pronounce you husband and wife.

Hey!

Okay, we get it.

Ohh.

- Congratulations. I'm so happy for you.
- Thank you. Where is Carter?

Oh, he went home.
He wasn't feeling well.

You know all I want
is for you to be happy, right?

I have to admit,
if you were at Brown...

...this wedding
probably never would have happened.

- So thank you.
- Of course.

And I really am so happy
you finally found the right man.

You're very lucky.

Aww.

- I love you.
- I love you.

Sorry for not telling you who I was.

I should've guessed. No one under 40
has shown interest in Lincoln Hawk.

See, I told you. He has my nose.

Uh, maybe, but those are my eyebrows.

- What do you think about board games?
- Love them.

Fantastic.

So Vanessa texted me. She said she's
sorry she couldn't make it back here.

I just... I just wish I didn't
put her in the middle of all this.

Vanessa is
an "all's well that ends well" girl.

You sticking around?

No, I have to go back to Boston
to my family, figure my life out.

But Lily said there's an open invitation.
I'll take her up on that.

- Maybe the holidays.
- I'd love it. I'm sure Vanessa would too.

Come here.

Spinning dreams and angel wings

Torn blue jeans
The foolish grin

Burning down in the night

Hey. I've been looking for you.
You okay?

Not really.

Carter told me some stuff...

...and it turns out
he's not the person I thought he was.

The person he is,
I don't really wanna know.

Look, I may loathe the guy...

...but he didn't have to own up.

He could've skipped town.

I even bought him a ticket.

He risked a lot going to the wedding,
knowing Bree would be there.

The girl he was engaged to
was a Buckley?

He must really care about you.

- You think the Buckleys would hurt him?
- They clearly want revenge.

Starpower, starpower, starpower

Over me

I talked to Blair.

So is it true?
You used me to get to Carter?

Yeah.

I guess I did.

Come on, Nate.
You're a Vanderbilt, I'm a Buckley.

As much as I like you,
that's always gonna come first.

It's in my blood.

It's Texas.

If it means anything, I'm sorry.

No.

No, you know what? It doesn't.

So please leave.

Close my eyes and think of you

Carter, hey.

I just talked to Chuck.

I just wanna make sure you're okay.
Call me, please. I wanna talk to you.

Well, it took 20 years,
but we finally made it.

Well, I wouldn't have done it
any other way.

This would be perfect, except that
Georgina got away unscathed.

I wouldn't be too certain about that. Hi.

I couldn't help but notice you.

I am Prince Alexi from Belarus.

Nice to meet you, prince.

I'm flying back to my home country
to celebrate my new oil pipeline.

Any chance you'd want to join?

I'm pretty much over college...

...and, uh, well, who am I
to say no to a prince?

Wonderful.

Spinning dreams and angel wings

There are songs
that make us want to dance...

...songs that make us
want to sing along.

But the best songs
are the ones that bring you back...

...to the moment
you first heard them...

...and once again...

...break your heart.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

She knows how to make love
