I have to say, this was a pretty decent episode. I don't think there's a single thing about it that I can complain about, except for the obvious that Blair had to go through with being with Louis at the end. But I really admire her for it. She won't let the love of her life or her own mother pay off her freedom. She's such a strong-willed loyal individual. It really is very beautiful. And I LOVE the place CB are at. I was preparing myself for the worst with that one scene I knew they'd have, but it was one of those feel good "maybe in the future" scenes that we've gotten practically every season, and I can't really complain with those. B's dropped the pact, and her logic is actually very sound for not wanting to be with Chuck right away, especially because her freedom was bought off from him. You have to admire her for being so strong. I just really wished they could have kissed before she left. XD As much as I despise the looming potential romance of DB, I'm really glad they fought out how he's always there for her & she treats him like crap. Their heart-to-heart at the end was very sweet. I kinda just wanted him to tell her he was in love with her though. I mean, nothing's going to come of it (or at least I don't think it would have in this episode) and he's been holding out for far too long. I think that would have explained the vow-writing much better. It was the perfect opportunity for him to say it. *shakes head* Ah well. I'm not sure what else I can say about this...the Nate/Charlie(Lola) SL was nice. I knew he was gonna back out as soon as he heard the convo, but he should've just asked her about it. *shakes head* Regardless, it worked out and yaaay, he has another gf. *rolls eyes* I actually like this girl though, so maybe I'll sweeten up to them. I'm feeling fairly pro-them at the moment anyway. XD Georgie...Georgie...Georgie...*shakes head* I'm thinking it's HER that uploaded it. I thought that's what we saw early on, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it WAS Dan? I thought it was Serena at first when she admitted to it, though initially it did sound like she was just caving in for the heck of it. *shakes head* Anyways, poor S. I do agree that what Dan did was right for Blair's sake, but it's SERENA. Still, I feel like maybe she was overreacting a little when she kept accusing him of lying or something? Idk. She had the right, but 'runaway princess bride' is kind of a bigger deal...but not telling her where she went...*hmms* idk. lol. *nixes Serena for the time being XD* Overall, I really liked the episode. DB as buddies, and JUST buddies is great, and CB are in a really good place. Plus, I'm just in awe of Blair right now. It's beautiful. *nods* =)

OH.MY.GOD. My heart's pounding. Just finished watching the episode & HOLY CRAP! Louis is EVIL. That IS such a huge bomb. I do believe he loved her...going off the first half of the episode, but all of this stuff with Chuck was just the last straw. Now she's being forced into this loveless marriage, where she could never be happy, just as Chuck predicted. *shudders* And as much as I hate to admit it, I think it's good that it was Dan she called at the end. I mean, we all wanted CB to finally get together at the end, but after all the chaos that was them, and Blair's insistence on not being with him, even if Louis was out of the picture, just seems like it would be a sloppy ending somehow. Plus, strangely enough, for the first time in many episodes, I didn't feel threatened by the DB presence. heh. Not even when Louis told Blair about the vows at the end of the episode. Omg though...that's SO horrible. I feel so bad for her! *was really not planning on it* To a much lesser degree, I feel bad for S too. I mean, she just put her soul out on her sleeve, fully knowing - though I feel she's still in a little denial - that Dan is in love with Blair. *sigh* Man, it's gonna be like World War III when DB finally do get together. I can just see all that heartbreak...*shudders* LOVED Eleanor getting Chuck & Serena's multiple reminders to Blair of how much better it'd be with Chuck - "you've always had a connection. Everything you do brings you back to each other." Oh yes...SO MANY supporters. *sigh* About the last scene...I want to O-M-G it, but it seems debatable that Georgina has been Gossip Girl throughout the ENTIRE show. I think with all this slipping around w/ GG's identity that maybe Georgina got access to her account or what not, but...I'll need further proof. I feel like she hasn't known all of the blasts that have happened over the last 4 years. heh.  Oh! And where was my NB moment?! I wanted one. *pout* Come on...some reminiscing? Wishing her well? All of that loveliness? *sigh* I adore them as friends. Ugh, and that brings me back to that dreaded "arrangement" at the end. How...*shudders* awful. Cute with Charlie/Nate. Though, did he say her name was "Lola"? lol. Now I'm beyond confused. XD The opening dream sequence was great, but that last part disturbed me, b/c it made it look like Blair's going to fight for Dan...hopefully that's just Serena's insecurities talking. Serena comes first when it comes to all things Blair. heh. I would hope so at least. =p Great 100th episode! Can we all kill Louis now though? XD And his dreaded mother!

A day late, and all because now I apparently have a night class Monday nights. Ugh. How awful is that? And especially next week too with all that impending angst... =( Well, anyways, here is my response! =D Before I dive into the mess that is Blair and all her counterparts, let us discuss Serena. I can't believe the whole Nate/Serena/Tripp thing was all a set-up. I was PISSED at Nate for betraying her for like forever, and then he fired her? And she even took Tripp's side? Wow. I guess I should've seen it coming though. She was rather willing to take Tripp's side. *sigh* Ah well. And oh man, she was SO CLOSE to telling Dan she had feelings for him again! (btw, totally started laughing when Rufus laughed forever about her blog, lol. Who knew Rufus could find her so funny? XD) Not that it would have really mattered, since he's all about Blair now, but I did find it curious that he was so eager to find out what she wasn't telling him. It's like the first time I've really seen him honestly even really being a friend to her without the greater part of his attention on something Blair-related or self-involved. *shakes head* So...that was kind of random and out of place, I felt. I really do feel bad for her though, because they ARE "Dan and Serena" and they should be together, despite the current magnetism Blair has for all men in her life right now apparently. Except for Nate - thank GOD for that. *shakes head* (Btw, I totally don't remember the real Charlie being in the prior episodes at all. Were we not supposed to notice her? I may have to go back & look. Surely the name "Charlie Rhodes" not attached to Ivy should've gotten his attention. *shakes head* - oh, this is coming from the 5x13 sneak peek I just watched btw. Haha. Clearly I just got them confused since I watched it right after the 5x12 episode XD) The priest and Beatrice are def sneaky but I like that Beatrice has finally come around to lovin on Blair & for that relationship alone, I almost want BL to work. Of course SB is the ultimate when it comes to girly-bffs, but I really liked what developed in 5x12 between Blair & Beatrice. They are kind of in the same boat with how they grew up & it's sad that she can't even attend the wedding. =( Blair's reaction to the vows is totally going to kick DB into high-gear post-wedding. *rolls eyes* But you know what? Chuck came up with his epic somewhat subtly B-driven 1x18 wedding speech - geared towards his FATHER'S marriage - out of thin air, "inspired in the moment" I believe he said. Can you imagine what he'd do if it was his own marriage to Blair? I mean, seriously. PLUS, Dan's a writer. Aside from being in love with Blair, that def gets him some points. But moving on, only one CB scene (and it was even interrupted!), which makes me sad, but I def don't mind his scheming. He wasn't the one to sabotage her bachelorette party anyway (I don't even know if it was Beatrice! It probably is and I just can't 100% tell, heh). I don't like him deciding to play the villain at the end, but I think he'll reconsider right before he does something stupid next week, because he'll take her happiness into consideration, her wishes, even if he doesn't believe it's what she really wants and needs. Because he doesn't want to hurt her & she's "made her choice", sadly. *sigh* Btw, Dan accusing Chuck of setting the whole thing up? Uh, seriously? I mean, with their newfound friendship and all, I would hope he still wouldn't pin things on Chuck - esp w/ how much he's grown! - just b/c he happened to be at the scene of the crime. I mean, really? *shakes head* Whatever. Glad Chuck's not giving up. His last line to Serena was great and clearly made her make the decision to lie to Dan at the end. lol. How honest of you, S. I think your stepbrother's past activities are wearing off on you a bit. ;) (Oh, quick sidenote! I LOVED B's blue dress she wore in the first half of the episode! I thought the fuzzy matching sweater was a little...much, but I def enjoyed the dress. The nearly backless back made it even more stunning on her. =)) Tripp is crap. haha. But at least now we know the full story. Glad Max didn't actually do it. When we saw the pic of him, I thought for sure he might be coming back in - which prob wouldn't make sense since Ivy isn't even back. (Where is she?!) *lightbulb goes on* Speaking of the real Charlie though, maybe what Carol supposedly did to her had to do with her losing all her money - which makes sense, trust fund stealaging and all *smacks self* - since in the sneak peek for next week she doesn't think Nate would really ever notice her. LOVE that they're obvs getting together though. It's kinda funny that he wanted/wants both the real and the fake Charlie. haha. XD Oh goodness. Let's see...what else? Priest is sneaky. LOVED when he told Beatrice that Blair is still in love with Chuck, and confessed it herself. *sigh* I just love when other characters say things about CB's love. It's fantastic. =) Lily wasn't in this episode, was she? Perhaps still searching for Ivy? Or maybe she went to visit Eric at school. XD They didn't even say why she wasn't there, did they? Haha. Usually they do. They even mentioned Jenny & Eric's doings last week. *shakes head* Well, anyways, good episode. There were some high moments & low moments, but nothing spectacular. lol. I think the best thing I got out of this was now lovin on the Beatrice/Blair relationship. Too bad it had to end right when it was getting good. =( *is reminded of Graham/Emma from Once Upon a Time* Until Next Week! We all know B's for sure marrying Louis, but it'll be an interesting journey getting there & the after effects that follow...*takes deep breath & prepares for the worst* CB ftw! lol

Oh. My. God. Okay, can I just say from the beginning that Chuck's performance killed me way more than Blair's in tonight's episode? I mean, the last 2 scenes with CB had my heart breaking for both of them (mostly equally), but it really seemed like Blair was just too quick to believe that it was only her "pact with God" that kept Chuck from dying and that him almost getting hit by a car in the episode meant that God was threatening her with killing Chuck again if she went back to him. *rolls eyes* She was SO cruel to him in their first scene together. It just KILLED me. I really, really just want her to tell Chuck what's up and have him make her give in. lol. How his face just lit up at the end & then he was totally let down & pushed away again?? *cries* The poor boy! Speaking of...(or not) the opening CL scene seemed very old-movie dream-like & since it actually wasn't, it was kind of...weird...somehow. It seemed almost corny, as did many of the flashbacks. I have to say, as a sidenote too, B's dress at the party was GORGEOUS. *giggle* I can't believe Gossip Girl is giving tips to Nate! I honestly didn't see that coming. I thought it was Ivy. heh. Speaking of, the real Charlie is gorgeous! I want more of this mystery to unfold. *nods excitedly* heheh. And I also want to know what the deal is between her and Charlie, like what heinous thing could've happened that Carol wouldn't want the rest of them to find out about? Hmm. Oh, and DS! *sigh* Serena so likes Dan again. And that kiss...which, of course, did not beat how Chuck & Blair looked at each other after BL kissed. That's the first time I felt sorry for Blair. *sigh* But UGH, the DB undertones in this episode made me feel SICK. *puke* I mean, I know it's all innocent right now, but the fact that Chuck went back to his scheming ways to find out what was up was very reminiscent of 4x18 & I HATE that. I mean, I'm obvs not against Chuck's scheming as long as it doesn't hurt Blair. I admit, I've kinda missed it. heh. And him teaming up with Louis to do so? Well, that's kind of awesome. lol. But it still foreshadows how Blair will inevitably choose Dan after the Louis issue goes down. I'm SO heartbroken for Chuck. *sigh* And for Blair too, obvs, but...yeah. *sigh* I do think the writers handled the miscarriage pretty well in this episode. I just hope it isn't forgotten immediately... Until next week! DS-CB ftw <3 (kinda missed Ivy too btw, heh)

Okay, the most recent episode! =D Excitement abounds! I feel like after this episode, everyone was just the most depressed ever, but really? I mean, I know CB are going to have a hell of a time finding true happiness (with each other) for awhile, but I was gushing all episode with the amazingness of how they came together. I'll admit that for a moment - despite the obvious pro-CB stills - I was panicking when Dan told Blair "I think I know what will make you happy". And when he took her to the room at The Empire? I honestly thought he was about to profess his undying love for her and that Chuck would just happen to open the door just before it happened. Thank GOODNESS that was not the case. I am really proud of Dan for FINALLY being a little selfless for the first time all season (basically). His convo later with Serena was fantabulous. DB foreshadowing (though not really in this episode) continues to kill me, and obvs he's not going to keep that "selfless for CB" state of mind, but I really loved his conclusion. hehehe. I feel so bad for Serena. I honestly hope Dan gets over Blair by the end of the season, wants Serena again and she doesn't take him back. I would LOVE if he had to spend all next season chasing her, because honestly being in love with Blair has RUINED him. Serena used to be the end all for him and now I feel like he looks at her as the one everyone loves but Blair's the unique one & he's just realizing how she's "so much better" or whatever. *rolls eyes* I mean, obvs he didn't feel this way when he & S were dating in hs, but I think partially how he wrote her in his book is how he feels now. Ugh. He had NO RIGHT to bash her at the beginning of the episode, and then she just forgave him like instantly? *spits* Oh, and since when is Rufus pro-DB? As I recall in 4x17, he was all like "wouldn't it be horrible if you were with someone like Blair?" And now he's all "tell Blair how you feel. Let's see what happens!" *looks at him suspiciously* I don't know what his purpose even is anymore except to be bipolar and as Lily's counterpart. *shakes head* Whatever. I very much enjoyed a jealous Serena. *nods* =) She totally has feelings for Dan again, which is fantabulous because it means inevitably they'll be together again someday. *sigh* At the end of the day, she always chooses Dan. He needs to realize again that that makes him the luckiest man in the world, because even if everyone seems to be suddenly in love with Blair, Serena was the "it-girl" for a long time (still kinda is) & she WANTS HIM. *sighs testily & shakes head* But anyways, CB! That phone call early on? Omg. PAINFUL. "I can't move. I can't breathe." And then his ridiculous selflessness!!! I'm so glad things worked out. That scene was so beautiful, and don't even get me STARTED about their limo convo. I freaking DIED. Not to mention the continuation of that scene in the 5x11 Canadian promo. It's just SO PERFECT. I can't believe how many obstacles have to constantly appear for them. Just let them be happy already! *huffs* *sigh* Oh, and then there's Chivy & Max. Max needs to get over himself. I mean, yes, technically what she's doing is illegal & I want her to fess up & still have them love her (lol), but she never meant to hurt him & she's not trying to con these people out of their money. I feel like he might have understood more if she'd told him what was going on straight off, but...*sigh* I hate that he went so far as to sabotage Nate (or whoever it was supposed to be for) with Tripp. And Tripp? Seriously? Nate's getting a little fame & glory, so you set up a freaking car accident? *rolls eyes* And how come he and Maureen are suddenly hunky-dory now? Or are they? I don't even know what the rumor/truth is. Please tell me! Or wait, don't. I honestly don't care. Bottom line, CB got their happiness ripped away again & it's because Max is spiteful & Chivy is in over her head. *rolls eyes* I really hate that she had to send out that gossip girl blast, but she had no clue that it would cause that car crash. GG usually brings emotional/social humiliation, not bodily harm. She probably just thought it would send the paparazzi in a different direction. *sigh* Btw, Lily's face KILLED me at the end. She loves her Chuck so much! Which again reminds me of her convo with him earlier on about "unconditional love". I was a little disheartened by Chuck's take on it, since he obvs feels that kind of love for Blair & she for him, but maybe he thinks of that in somewhat different terms? *shrug* Also! When CL went to look for B at Dan's place, I realized for the first time when they were in the same room that Louis really has adopted Chuck's style. They practically looked like twins. lmao. But anyways, I'm really curious how Chivy will actually be coming back - despite the fact that Lily apparently goes looking for her in 5x11. I mean, she's not in any of the wedding pics and I haven't seen her in any set pics for awhile...Anyways though! This eppy was awesome. I refuse to consider it horrible because of the last 5 minutes. CB had SO much epicness, and it was acknowledged by a bunch of people too. How can you be sad after something like that? ;) (Now 5x11 will prove a different tale entirely...though I'm still sensing/seeing the CB epicness! And really, can there really be anything else between them? Glorious.)

Another episode I have to squint to recall stuff to...heh. But this one's closer, so it's more clear. *nods* =) Okay, so this one, without a doubt, I'm a 100% sure I got really choked up over. The CB scenes were HEARTBREAKING. When Chuck told Blair he'd "moved on" by returning the engagement ring, I just about DIED. I know he wasn't trying to be cruel, but the look on her face just about killed me. In that moment, she was TERRIFIED of him getting over her. *shudders* I'm so proud of him btw for not getting snarky when he went over to confront her. Honestly couldn't believe it was the THERAPIST that had to tell him she was upset over the ring. *rolls eyes* Honestly. That should have been common sense. It was to all of us! *shakes head at him* That scene though...wow. When she was breaking down and practically whispered her "I'm sorry", and then him about to cry, I--gaah. EPIC vidding potential. lol. Not that it's really considered an angst scene because they're not beating up on each other or breaking up, but it was still glorious and just beautiful to watch. I've watched it several times, despite its painfulness. *nods* And then WHY DID HE HAVE TO LEAVE?!?! Stupid cake lady. *huffs* I mean, his "I'm not the groom..." gaaaaaah. I SO wanted them to get back together in this episode. It could have easily been slipped in at the end post-"You still love her, huh? - I can't imagine the day I won't." *sigh* I even wrote an o/s over that exact situation. But I digress. On one last CB moment. I just about died laughing when B came in to see him doing yoga or something of that nature. It just seems so...not Chuck. lmao. I just...it was hysterical. Though, I was proud of him all the same. heh. I mean, being celibate? Hanging out with an ancient Japanese dude to work out his energy? *claps* I applaud you, Chuck Bass. I applaud you. But...on to the other irrelevent (compared to!) SLs in this episode. Okay, I'm pretty sure THIS was the episode Tripp came into the equation, and honestly it didn't affect me too much, until the next episode (5x10) obvs. I really forget what else Nate was up to...Dan too. lmao. I know there was a lot of tension between Ivy, Serena & Max. I give credit to Ivy for being able to come up with things that sound pretty legit suddenly without warning. I honestly thought she'd get caught, and I was kinda hoping for it too. I just really wanted her to fight for Max & for them to work things out. *sigh* His angry rant at the end? Just shows how much he really loved her, even after everything. *tear* The fact is that he DIDN'T waste the last 2 years of his life. I mean, it was only in the last few months that she was even INVOLVED in the UES. Plus, she did actually love him, and I believe she still does. It's just on the backburner.  What he doesn't get is that the only thing she's ever lied about is THIS. Info she told him that was a lie was only for the benefit of keeping her place in the family secure. I just...*sigh* When Serena got so angry over IM being a couple before, I really thought she was gonna toss her to the wind when the truth came out! But conniving (not really) Carol saved the day with sneaking away that brochure! Hehe. And Ivy was so cocky at the end, but I believe when this episode was over I was pretty convinced she was going to be safe and not in trouble anymore. *sigh* I should've known... oh! Was this the episode Dan was trying to track down his twitter "hater" & then found out it'd be good for him/his popularity or something? lmao He should just hook up w/ her. haha Sadly, I do not see the writers going in that type of direction, and I even see NI potential (sadly), so...*sigh* that is tragic. lol. All in all, pretty great episode! =D Definitely killed me with CB, and inspired me for the first time in MONTHS to write period. =)

Sorry for the long wait. Forgive me if this is less than enthusiastic/dramatic/windswept(?XD). I'm trying to recall my thoughts on this episode, and it was aways back. It is difficult even to remember every aspect of the episode. heh. But, going off of what I can remember...CD rocks my life. I can just see DBers squealing over the fact that Blair didn't answer Dan when he's all "tell me the real reason you didn't invite me..." (or something along those lines), but honestly? No. Loved Chuck coming to the rescues! And he gives him "The Matrix", scotch and whores to help him get through his miserable existence? I find that so laughable, but it's still awesome, because it's Chuck Bass. Just...wonderful. hehe. I just love this new Chuck! I mean, he's still the witty, dangerously cocky, amazing Chuck Bass he always was, but he's become selfless and helpful too in a way we never saw before. *lamentful sigh* It is beautiful. I'm ECSTATIC Blair finally realized that at the end and came to him, though talk about anti-climactic. I actually thought it was gonna be a legit scene. Naturally though, it is still awesome how they can just look at each other for two seconds and you feel like you've watched the most epic love story right then and there and are about to dissolve into tears. heh. Obvs didn't like the DB emphasis with Dan basically admitting he's in love with Blair, though I kind of felt like it was already obvious somehow, especially with GG's quotage of "3 words. 8 letters" in the premiere regarding them...*hmms* And I just...how he had her as the star of his book...I mean...well, whatever. lol. The CD was AWESOME. Louis is just HORRIBLE though. I remember officially hating him this episode. I mean, yes, 5x06 was bad because he was actually IRRITATED by the fact that she was playing Queen Bee for a little while *scoffs*, but in this episode he manipulated the whole situation to make it look like everyone she knew was turning against her when they totally weren't! Even Serena. Omg. And the worst part is that it didn't even occur to B to consider that it was all a surprise party and she freaking BELIEVED Louis when he said all those nasty things about them. *shakes head & scoffs* SO glad he's gone, if only for a few episodes. *sigh* I wish Max & Ivy could be fixed...I mean, did he have to go all "blackmail" on her? Really? *sigh* There was so much potential for him & Ivy to work things out. I thought he might even understand why she's so intent on being part of this family. It really would've been better if he'd stayed in LA, I guess, because she never did mean to hurt him and the only reason she's dismissing their relationship is because in her mind that part of her life is over, even if she does still love him. It absolutely KILLED me when he professed his love to her and all that, and then it just got ruined. Ugh. *sigh* Oh well. I think that's that though...I remember something happening with Nate & The Spectator...maybe Diana left in this episode? I can't recall. As always, Nate is irrelevent to me, even if he is kinda taking on more of a role than just screwing cougars and swapping shirts with Dan. Problem is, he's been so irrelevent & bothersome & just a...kind of there character that unless his SL is directly related to one of the other SLs, I just can't...*shakes head* recall anything at all. lol. Maybe the stuff with Tripp started here? Or maybe that was 5x09. haha. I really don't know! XD Ecstatic again that B finally realized Chuck was being good all along. 5x07 freaking pissed me off because of how immature she was being and how she just didn't know at the end. *sigh* But all is well, on that matter at least (considering just this episode XD Gah! So much has happened!)

Most disappointing episode ever. The kiss wasn't even worth it. All we saw was what was in the Canadian promo. You could barely SEE that kiss. Not to mention Max is apparently very over Ivy & into SERENA?! Ugh. I don't even know if Chivy is into Nate. Personally, I don't care. I don't see any chemistry whatsoever between Nivy OR Niana. It's RIDICULOUS. A little bit of an OMG moment when we saw Diana on the phone w/ Grandfather Vanderbuilt, but it doesn't make up for anything. I really wanted B to find out that Chuck was just playing along so she'd be fine w/ Louis. I mean, I get that he's really trying to move on & let her be happy w/ Louis & that can't happen if she knows that who he's becoming is someone she'd want to be with, but...*sigh* it just doesn't seem fair to him. *pout* =( I have a feeling I'll be mourning over Chuck all season long. *sigh* And wth is w/ the promo? Dan's pulling a Chuck & crashing B's party drunk-style? *rolls eyes* Goodness. Def didn't mind not having him around Blair this episode. I'm sure not having Blair & not having any luck on the book is messing w/ him, but ugh. God, it's so stupid. I felt bad for Ivy at the end but her attempt to get Max away was so half-hearted. I wish she'd just gone back to him. And somehow I thought Serena knew about her at the end, about who she really was. Or...I wanted Ivy to TELL her. S is so protective of her, I somehow just figured she'd understand...*sighs & shakes head* It's always bad when I think I'm gonna be in love w/ an episode. *cries* This is very reminiscent of episode 8 last season. All this build-up for nothing. *spits* Oh well. Hopefully next episode will be great & won't be Dan pulling an almost 4x20-Chuck-style at B's shower.

Promo reaction: Omg. It's Blair that instigates the kiss. It's BLAIR. // Moving on...lol *conspicuous wink* That last scene w/ CB...wow. He apologized for SO.MUCH. God, no wonder B needs to kiss him. She thinks he'll never change, but he's changing already. It just breaks my heart that he gave the ring back though. I'd like to say - or rather, I feel like I should be saying it feel so final between them, but it just doesn't. Not like in the season finale. Just like Gossip Girl said, it looks like the end but it feels like the beginning all over again. God, I just want them together now. Chuck really is letting go & it makes me so sad. It's probably what B wants, or wanted, or thought she wanted, but it really. *shakes head* She seems so uncertain now. I'm more convinced than ever though that the baby is Louis'. I mean, they'd really have to go out of their way to prove that it's Chuck's now. Glad the therapist only accepted Louis' "request" momentarily. She's good. I knew she wouldn't be able to keep from helping Chuck. *sigh* I still was hoping he wouldn't give the ring back at the end though. =( He even told Blair she could stop helping him or caring or whatever if she felt she needed to. *sigh* All this just makes me want to cry, but the promo makes me feel somewhat better. heh. I just hope B's not testing him to prove to him he hasn't changed or something? Or maybe to prove to herself that she's not making a mistake by marrying Louis. *hmms* I had no idea he was going to apologize about so many things, but I'm SO glad he did. Ohmygoodness, this is just...it's crazy! More DS! That was great. I really like the scenes that are going on with them now. Nate & Charlie & Diana was...eh. *shrug* Obviously something is gonna happen between Nate & Charlie, and Diana will be pissed & thus bring out the big guns - MAX. Duhduhduh. *overjoyed* lol. No CD action! Sad. Where is Lily? lol. Louis is just...ugh. I hate how Blair said he was turning into Chuck like it was a bad thing. *spits* I mean, I know she was referring to the ability Chuck had to hurt her, but the last time they were together she was going to make a life-changing decision to be with him. Chuck is so redeemed in my eyes. Just by really letting her go & apologizing for so much, even though I'm really devastated that he gave back the ring. That was like the for sure sign they weren't over. That and the possibility of them having a baby. I just...*sigh* I'm surprised Louis wasn't more pissed that Blair cheated on him, even if it was just once. Cause, seriously, going off the timeline, it wasn't when they were on a break. Though, I suppose they semi were that night b/c he was waiting on her decision to open up to him or not, which obviously she still hasn't done. And OMG! He's SO holding her back! Her bitchy/Queen Bee side is part of who she is! And he's acting like it's this awful quality. Ugh. Chuck LOVED that about her. I mean, granted he has a similar aspect to him that he's now trying to rid himself of, but...*sigh* I was just mad about that. She's marrying the wrong guy. (As if that wasn't already obvious) Oh, bring our CB back. PLEASE.

My, my, my...how much longer will it be now before I get myself another CB scene? (oh wait, just saw the Canadian promo! O-M-F-G! *giddy beyond belief*) Last scene. Louis knows what happened in the finale. He knows that though the baby is his (dang nabbit! though...I suppose there is still hope) that CB are still very much in love. And THAT is why he's taking action. The jealous bastard is even going to halt Chuck's healing process to make sure he stays away from Blair!!! *wails* I suppose I'm not thoroughly convinced the baby is Louis' but it seems pretty plausible from his reaction in the last scene. I mean, if it wasn't truly his kid, wouldn't he confront Blair about it? (though he does in the promo...*hmms* *still not thoroughly convinced*) That would cause all sorts of complications. Though, I don't even know where things stand w/ the royal aspect of things! I mean, that contract was RIDICULOUS! *fumes* 48 hours in NY & she has to give up custody?! Good lord! But on to Dan & Serena...*sigh* I really hate that last scene between DS. I mean, I'm glad that they worked everything out, but I would've much rather Dan cleared up the matter whether Serena was the love of his life in hs, b/c she totally was. *sigh* It's scenes like these that convince me almost entirely that they won't be endgame. =( Don't get me wrong. All I really need in this show to make me happy is a CB happy ending forever, but I've talked w/ gorgeous DS/CBers lately & these 2 love stories in the show really seem to be the greatest. It'd be a shame if they both didn't work out just b/c Dan had to fall for Blair Waldorf. *pout* I knew Chuck couldn't suddenly be diving into REAL help. I mean, I thought that might be the case when I saw the sneak peek, but in the episode there was no doubt he was checking out her ass when she was walking away. lmao Glad she didn't conceed to his wishes & actually got through to him at the end. It's a shame Louis is going to ruin all that. =( I wish Blair had been mentioned somewhere along the line during the convos with the therapist. *sigh* Ah well. Ivy & Nate were kinda cool. Biggest shocker was Diana in Bart's file!!! *major gasp* I hope Chuck can recognize her somehow! He must've seen the pic when digging through the files last season. Cyrus hugs! *giggle* Beatrice...*shrug* meh. It was awful that she spurred on the contract, but I find myself unmoved by her deceit since everything worked out. Serena was jealous of not being the center of Dan's book since they were so in love in hs. B understood. She didn't even want to be the center & would gladly trade places. Sisterly hug! Glad RD are gonna work things out. RL were cute too. LOVED B's dress at the party. *hearts it* And how is her hair always perfect? *genuinely wants to know* You know, I miss Vanessa & Jenny on this show suddenly... I'm really likin' the CD bromance. DN are still on the outs, which is sad but it seems pretty mendable. Nice gesture w/ the dog collar, Humphrey. Tbh, I'm actually surprised Chuck has never had sex on a therapist's couch. Her diagnosis at the end was pretty perfect. Couldn't guess though that there was one intimacy he never had to pay for. The love of Blair Waldorf. <3

Until Next Episode!
