GG Episode 1: Yes, Then Zero

September 29th, 2011

Yes! Who knew three letters and one syllable could get you into so much trouble! But this week it’s okay to say YES! Gossip Girl is back, baby!

And they kicked off the fifth season with death-defying stunts, a secret look at Dan’s book (and who’s life it could destroy!) and Serena tries to reinvent herself as a working girl (really Serena? You’re a socialite. Having haters should tell you you’re doing something right!).

Watch the full episode HERE then read below for how Nate got himself into something bigger than just a cougar.

Blair is fighting with Prince Louis (who’s French accent is soooooo gonna get on my nerves as the weeks go by – can’t wait until this relationship crashes and burns). Louis won’t stand up for Blair when they fight over plans for the wedding. Louis’ mother wants final say on flowers, food and wedding dress.

Okay, so Blair has a point here – her husband should really grow a pair.

But instead of working it out, Blair runs off to Dan…and tells him she’ll leave Louis and run away with Dan to the Hamptons.

OH-EM-EFF-GEE!!! Blair’s totally jonesing for Dan still!! Sorry, had to have my Dair moment.

But Dan knows the truth of why Louis blew her off for the umpteenth time. Dan asked Louis to shake his royal finger at Vanity Fair magazine and stop them from running a piece of Dan’s book before it goes on sale. The section printed could make trouble for Dan and Blair…but we don’t know exactly what he wrote about the two of them.

YET.

Dan keeps his mouth shut, keys in hand to take Blair away…but Louis swoops in, saves the day and takes Blair back to try on more crap his mother laid out for her.

Over in California, Serena meets up with Chuck and Nate who are still partying hard on their world tour. Chuck has turned himself into a little daredevil, and passes his magic onto Serena and Nate: just say yes!

Serena, ever the eager beaver to prove she’s not a rich, spoiled heiress, says yes to everything and loses her job. You see, she’s an assistant on a movie set…and was tricked into giving her director medicinal marijuana.

Yup, that’s what saying “yes” will do to ya! BUT she does land an even sweeter job working for the director of said movie. So win-win.

Nate, on the other hand, gets laid. Like he always does. With whom he always does as well: older women.

Only this time, he lies to get himself laid and it backfires (he says he’s the owner of an awesome looking mansion to sleep with a woman…only to find out she’s the actual owner…and they didn’t bang in the master bedroom afterall!).

More interesting? This woman was targeting Nate for some reason…and I’m sure it’s not just because he’s good in bed/on the floor/wherever turns your pages.

Chuck finds an invitation to Blair’s wedding…and goes off on his motorcycle and almost dies. Actually, he’s been doing that all summer long. And he’s hiding all the injuries from everyone too.

Speaking of hiding, a Waldorf woman is preggers! And even after Dorota claimed it was her (which could be true…) the seamstress dressing Blair seems to think its her.
