Gossip Girl -The Hurt Locket [Elle's Recap&Review]

So, yesterday the highly anticipated Gossip Girl returned with, well, it's usual scandalous plot. But before I go on, I heard from Scarlett that the ratings weren't that good.. D: Come on guys! Watch it! It was SERIOUSLY a good episode! -Now for the recap and review-

So the episode started with a short recap of the episodes before the show was put on hiatus, which I found incredibly helpful because as much as I LOVE Gossip Girl, i did forget what happened before. This weeks episode had Nate and Serena back as the Golden Couple. Blair and Chuck lacking some sexual tension. Jenny is getting more and more sucked into the drug dealing business (btw, is it just me or does it seem to you that the guy playing the drug dealer looks similiar to Zac Efron? Idk, just a thought that occured to me). Dan is.. well he had no major thing with Vanessa, in fact, Vanessa wasn't even in this weeks episode. Lily and Rufus have some problems, (once again), i really dont' get what the point of their plot line is because it's ALWAYS the same, isn't it? They are always happy, then Rufus discovers something about Lily that gets him mad, he leaves for a bit and then in a ocuple episodes down the road, they go back together. Really pointless...

Anyways, so Nate and Serena are soo cute! Not to mention Chace Crawford is incredibly good looking :]. But they both decide ot "take things slow" (when they said this, i was doubting them. I mean how can SERENA van der Woodsen take things slow?) and Blair (being Blair) tells Serena she needs to play games with Nate because Nate has wanted her for so long and now that he has her, he'll get sick of her. "Nate will get SICK of eating icecream" - B . "B, I'm NOT icecream!" - S . Haha those lines were quite funny. But Serena takes this into consideration. Meanwhile, Nate meets with Dan at the coffee shop and they talk about Serena. Dan gives him some advice because he dated her before. So Nate cancels his date with Serena, their very FIRST official date to the French Ambassador's Dinner (which pisses Serena off, who then calls Damon, the drug dealer to be her date).

Blair and Chuck's plotline have gone downhill a bit, and I must admint, i'm quite sad.. I missed the cute moments between them. Especially Blair's evil ways. I miss the Steps on the Met and everything. Chuck tells Blair that he has no interest in this locket that some lady left at his father's grave when he went to it. However, we see when Blair leaves, he calls his private investigator to find out more about the person who had htis locket because obviously she meant a lot. Blair later finds this (becuase she's in his house waiting for him for lunch and dinner) and gets mad becuase he's kept this from her.

Meanwhile Damon comes to look for Jenny at her house, carrying a "gift" (a box filled with pills) that he needs her help with. Damon needs to somehow give those pills to the French Ambassador's Daughter but he can't put it in a purse or something because everything is getting checked. Jenny comes up with a brilliant idea of sewing a exact replica of a shrug that the French Ambassador's Daughter has worn before and sews pockets inside so she "wears" the pills. Damon compliments her on that but tells her he has to cancel his date with her to the dinner because he's going with Serena, which ticks her off. So she threatens to expose him, but of course being a drug dealer filled with excuses, he has stuff to say that shuts her up quickly. He leaves, leaving Jenny steaming mad. (she's liking this guy, definitely)

Now.. i'm getting tired of typing.. so basically i'm going to go fast from here. So at the dinner Nate goes alone but sees that Serena is also there with Damon. Of course he gets mad, and out of no where Jenny shows up saying that he's helped her out many times so now shes going to return the favor. And during the dinner Damon continuously tries to get Serena to take off her shrug (the one Jenny made that contained the pills) but fails. Jenny is there to watch him struggle. (wow, that IS very 'queen' of her) Nate watches Serena throughout the dinner and then he grabs her while she's walking through the hall. They end up making out and everything. She takes off her jacket then. Damon is upset because he can't get it to his client and then Jenny notices the shrug is on the floor in the coat room (where Nate and Serena are making out) and tells the lady to put it back on the rack becuase it's the Ambassador's daughters' and make sure she leaves WITH it. Which means of course, the daughter leaves with the pills.

Chuck continues to look for his mother. He stops by the dinner to tell Blair that the lady he saw may actually be his mother. Even though Blair is looking for powerful men to get her door open to climb up the social ladder once again, she realizes what this means for Chuck and leaves with him even though she was talking to the man that could open her door up. (which was really cute!) They both go to where Chuck is meeting this woman. She basically puts down all his hopes saying that Bart Bass probably gave that same locket to every single on of his girlfriends, and she was no different. Chuck believes everything and leaves, dissapointed. However, Blair (and i LOVE her even MORE for this) goes up the lady and basically tells her she know's this lady is lying because the look the lady gave Chuck was this 'doe-eyed' look which she can see RIGHT through, even if Chuck may not. And all Chuck's life, he's been hated on by his father becuase he believed he killed his mother and if there was any information she knew about him, she (Blair) would love to know. At the end of the episode we see the lady calling Chuck, but his phone is on vibrate and he doesn't pick it up, and ...
She's holding the other part of the locket, which is a picture of her and a baby. Implying the baby is CHUCK BASS. Which means.. that LADY IS HIS MOTHER!

GAHH I CAN"T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEKS EPPY!!!
