And here I thought Serena and Ben‘s relationship was written in the stars.

Ex-con framed for bedding his high school student ends up bedding his (former) high school student.  Now Ben’s mom has to go and be all “I’m saving my son from what the awful rich people did” and ruin a beautiful thing.  By the way, Ben.  Nice quivering lip during that break-up scene.  I had to look away, I was so uncomfortable.

I’m resisting, friends.  I really am.  I wanted so badly for Blair and Dan to not get together.  I though it was too cliche, even for the likes of Gossip Girl.  But here I find myself willing them to kiss, and then they do.  And we’re met with a freeze frame reminiscent of a John Hughes ending.  What the whuck?

Will Lilly face jail time?  Not if Dr. van der Woodsen can help it.  Poor Rufus.  Talk about a supporting role…
