Gossip Girl Season 3 Episode 22 – Season Finale

SPOILER ALERT! This Gossip Girl episode hasn’t technically aired until later tonight, so if you don’t want to know what happens, I suggest you leave now and come back tomorrow.

Now that I’m done being socially responsible, let’s move on to the good stuff. For those of you who are lucky enough to watch this addictive series one day earlier than the rest of the world – or for those of you who just like knowing what will happen because you’re too impatient to wait the few hours – let’s talk about what happened this week. Boy what an eventful season finale!!

Before we get to the juice of the episode, let’s talk about some of the not-so-important highlights.

1. Serena and Dan share a kiss. This is very typical of Serena and Dan. On again. Off again. On again. Off again. Their relationship is like a bathroom faucet at an NYC night club. Actually, all her relationships are, but in particular, she seems to be worse with Dan. And while she’s off nonchalantly ruining her relationship with Nate and his relationship with Vanessa, he’s wondering about his feelings for her. Poor Dan. Serena will never be a good or stable girlfriend. I mean really, look at her mom.

2. Jenny Humphrey ruins lives. Yup. She’s at it again. Staying over at Nate’s – again. Posting a picture of Serena and Dan on gossip girl. Sleeping with Chuck – I could have actually killed her for this one. And the worst part of it all, after you think she’s going to redeem herself and not say a word, she goes and tells Eric and Dan. Seriously Jenny. Grow up. No one talks about their first time, especially if you were a slut about it.

3. Blair and Chuck. Sigh. I’m uber sad about the turn out. I was nervous all episode, hoping that she would come to her senses and go to him. And once she did, i thought, all is well in the world. And my favourite parts of the episode were watching him prepare for their meeting – choosing the perfect suit, her favourite flowers and what  I wasn’t sure was a ring until later. Then Jenny happens. And as the man is about to ask Blair to marry him, Dan happens. So that was the end of Chuck and Blair. I’m not really sure if she can forgive him or take him back now. Though I know they belong together and will be miserable without one another.

Icing on the cake: as Chuck is off in Prague being miserable, he gets robbed. He begs for them not to take the ring, the one he bought for Blair. Says he’ll go to a bank machine and get cash out. He fights for the ring – symbolically Blair’s love – and gets shot. End season with Chuck bleeding on the streets of Prague. *Goosebumps*

I have to wait till September 13th for Season 4?? I don’t know if I’ll make it…Some Blair and Chuck photos to try and hold us over.
