Whats with all these seasonal shows being cryptic and painful for those involved? Christmas is suppose to be a happy time not depressing.
Well Naomi seemed to have pulled herself together... Actually a little too much. After accepting an internship she found out she was working for Holly's mom. Nothing big right? It is when Holly is your enemy slash new found friend. As Naomi's first assignment she had to work Holly's birthday party without Holly finding out she was the one who took the intern spot away from her. Well that kind of blew up in her face. Honestly at this point and in this episode I could care less. I know Naomi just wanted to best for herself and everybody around her but treating your boyfriend who you fought so hard for like shit is not the way to have a good relationship. And we have learned through all her past bf's that Naomi sucks at this dating thing. And when Holly confronted her about everything, girl had a point. Naomi came in and took everything from her... Her boyfriend, sorority status, her intern position, and now her mothers affection. Low Blow. I guess walking in on you frenemy sleeping with your boyfriend is harsh enough payback though. Merry Christmas....!
Navid was playing with fire and he got burned. Why is he only working with one undercover cop? Is there nobody else that could help him out? He goes on these risky missions, asks all skeptical and then the cop left him alone with a bunch of stolen merchandise. When I saw his face in the hospital I actually cringed. Boy got beat up hardcore. And despite everything he was doing everything to protect Silver. One thing this show has made me realize is that girls always walk in at the wrong time and see something, blow it out of proportion, make up some crazy story in their heads, and think that if the guy is lyings its because he's cheating. Maybe he really is just doing this in your benefit Silver, as he repeated told you over and over again! Either way Silvers been dating some literature professor, who was also keeping a secret from her. The secret he has a wife (soon to be ex) and a daughter, and he quickly decided he wanted to be seriously involved with Silver. As she went to check up on Navid in the hospital she saw him with the cop and again ASSUMED and went to the teacher and told him she wanted to become legit. And thats what I call bad timing and a lack of communication. Who cares if theres another girl in there? You loved Navid at least care enough to see if he is ok after his near brush with death. And aren't you curious as to who beat him up??? Gosh.
Dixon is apparently healthy and good to go- kicked his drug addiction and seriously in love with Adriana. After this weeks episode I kind of have more sympathy towards Ade. The ending especially with her baby story and music experience gave us an insight into an Ade that we didn't really know. Last season she never cared about her baby she was just all wrapped up in fame and money. Good to know she's been brought down to earth. Her and Dixon are probably the most peaceful couple on the show at this point.
I feel bad for Annie. She is struggling to make ends meet after helping out her brother (who doesn't seem to care at all). She's dealing with the whole Jeremy situation as he scammed her out of money. And I'm sure she doesn't feel good about herself being a Wh*re cause lets face it she's definitely not an escort. After finding comfort in Liam she felt even worse about herself than before. Once Liam figured out what was going on he took matters into his own hands. I'm really glad someone finally put Patrick in his place. As for Annie, sneaking into Jeremy's house was a little much, but girls got brains and she got herself out of that with evidence and a guarantee to the money! But just as things start going good- heres that bad timing again. She calls Liam to tell him she never stopped loving him and wishing him a Merry Christmas and BAM Liam is in a hit and run accident with a motorist (conveniently Lexi from the Vampire Diaries ha) and it doesn't look like he is going to make it out alive. See thats the thing about fate, it sucks. Its timing sucks and its never on our side. The minute someone figures it out its too late. The ending was very well done though. It was bittersweet. She's spilling her guts, this guy might be dead, and theres Christmas music playing. Every emotion I could have possibly felt I did.

"Do you think you could ever love another mans child?"
Who should never doubt Gossip Girl and its writers again? Me. I clearly underestimated them and everything they were doing with this whole story line because by the end of Monday's episode I was left speechless, in tears, and holy crap confused! I'll start with the minor stories and build my way up.
Dan Humphrey a hero. I always knew lonely boy was an honest true man. After his book got picked up again he had to write an alter- ending. Serena suggested why not write about where everybody is now. That got them all thinking about how their lives have transformed and where they want to be as people. Dan decided to be a helping hand to Blair, only because he wanted to tell her how he really feels. In the end though he saw her heartbreak after Chuck couldn't cross a line and be her fathers baby, so he snuck Blair out and brought her over to the Van der Woodsen's were Charlie was having a "welcome" party so to speak and arranged a secret meeting for the love-birds. Finally.
Charlie was just trampled in this 'who am I' mess and it took a huge accident to wake her up from her delusions. After Max threatened to expose her, saw that he couldn't sell his story to Nate, he took it up with Tripp Archibald (who had his own agenda in this episode consisting of family drama, family favoritism, sabotage, and politics) who planned to- and heres were I take a guess and hope I don't come off like an asshole- have Nate crash in an accident in order to prevent him from going on the trip with his grandfather? I feel like I am missing a piece of the puzzle because I don't really understand why Max would want Nate to crash? Why would this help him get back at Charlie? I mean I understand by damaging the car he finally got the money he wanted but was it really all necessary? I feel like there must be more to this. Anyways Charlie took the first step and admitted to Rufus (and lets clap cause Rufus was actually present in this episode for more than morning pancakes) that she is the one thats a fraud. Is she going to run away and hide forever? Will she come clean. I assume coming clean could be potentially dangerous, and if she does that she is exposing Carol.
Which brings me to my short summary of Nate finding out that the whole Tripp's wife is cheating scandal was thanks to his grandfather, who was behind it all. But Grandfather confessed and all was well. Tripp was bitter because grandfather gave up on him and pushing his career to the limit and is now concentrating on Nate so he decided to use Max to his advantage and what harm Nate? Honestly, the Van der Woodsens might be messed up but at least their not homicidal and what not. Props for Nate though for being the stand up, all around good guy in this show. He really stepped up in the last couple of episodes and if I had any say in things I would just have him be in a suit every episode.
Serena.... Besides the fact that she looked exceptionally gorgeous today is she really heading down the Humphrey road again? I mean I understand their not really related.. but close enough. I just feel like the writers have built the Dan/ Serena relationship as so platonic that seeing them as that romantically cute and sexual couple from season 1 is just odd. I guess she is starting to realize that she has made no progress compared to all of her friends and is leaning on the fact that Dan was the best thing that ever happened to her? I am iffy on this storyline... but am really enjoying the fact that Serena is motivated to bring Gossip Girl down. Go get em' girl.
Saved the best for last! Chuck and Blair have been carrying this show throughout the whole season. I'm ashamed to admit that I might even watch it every week because I am obsessed with their relationship. After fighting an internal battle with herself Blair avoids seeing Louie because she is not ready to commit to him "forever." After realizing that she wants to be with Chuck she calls him to see if he could ever love another mans baby. He tells her that she should be with the dad and she is completely heartbroken. He doesn't realize his mistake in judgement until he speaks to Lily who tells him that if he ever needs anything she's there for him because she loves him unconditionally. "You may be my child only through marriage but I love you like my own." Those words hit home to Chuck and he suddenly realized that he is the guy for Blair. After he ditches Louie (god knows where) Dan leads him into a room with Blair where Chuck confesses his love for her and promises he will love her baby just as much. They are then tipped off that the paparazzi are around the house and Nate leads them through the back into their limo. Little do they know they get into the wrong limo's and Chuck and Blair get into the one that has been tampered with. As they start on their journey the happy couple is kissing in the backseat (As they have done since season one :)) and planning their futures and paparazzi swarm around them violently on motorcycles. In the blink of an eye, they crash into the forest or whatever and are rushed to the E.R. Lily is informed that Blair is doing well (no word on the baby) but Chuck isn't... Nothing was really revealed by that except Lily started crying and so did I.
They cant have Chuck die can they? Blair will never marry Louie. And in the next years previews we see Blair praying that Chuck doesn't die. What did you think of the midseason finale? Is everyone satisfied that Blair and Chuck FINALLY admitted their feelings? It breaks my heart that it was taken away so soon though. And finally to conclude my post... What the hell does Diana have to do with JACK BASS and Nate's grandfather? I mean I understand she was connected to the Bass family somehow but how and why and Jack? Could this really be Chuck's mother? AHHH I WANT TO KNOW!

All we can do is hope we have the strength to cope with the hand she deals us.
