Gossip Girl S06 E01 – E04
It is finally here! The final season of one of the most
controversial teen television shows in history. After an explosive season
finale last year, the show starts off in shambles. Lilly and Rufus are now separated,
Dan has teamed up with the fabulously bitchy Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg)
to write his next book and actually name the people in it by their real name.
Nate is running The Spectator which is now being under-run by Gossip Girl.
Serena has ran away and no-one has heard from her all summer,
Blair and Chuck have agreed that one day they will be together, but Blair needs
to focus on taking over from her mother’s fashion line and Chuck has to focus
on his dad being back from the dead, and what his plan was this whole time.
Rufus and Ivy have shacked up together in the Brooklyn
apartment and have started getting “intimate” of all of the creepy things this
show has done, this is definitely the creepiest. Although I am pleased that
they have found a way to keep Ivy in the show, she masterfully manipulates
Rufus into turning against Dan and Lilly, and this is only going to get better
as the season progresses.
Blair, Chuck, Dan and Nate put aside their differences in
the pilot to track down Serena, where she has been disguising herself as
Sabrina in the Hamptons, shacked up with Steven (Barry Watson) as she wants to
escape her past life and become someone else. They end up convincing her to
move back to NYC where Steven joins her in their own apartment. Although S has
made it clear that she wants nothing to with B.
Episode 2 proves more problematic when B must debut the new
line for buyers at a fashion show, and when her big socialite pulls out, she
must turn to S for help getting a big name there to maintain interest. Dan
prints his first article in The Spectator courtesy of Nate and when listing
Rufus and Ivy as together they threaten to sue Dan and the Spectator for
printing their names.
Blair is preparing for her fashion show when Serena needs
her to put Steven’s daughter Sage in the show to gain her approval. Sage strips
down on the catwalk and Serena causes outrage stating the Blair is promoting
child pornography. The reviews are bad for Blair and she must take the line
forward to keep the company afloat.
Episode 4 is a little more slow, Steven and Serena make a
list of each other’s sexual history as they discover that Steven had an affair
with Lilly a couple of years ago, Nate runs into trouble at the Spectator when
Dan decides to publish all his future articles in The New Yorker and he signs a
deal with Bart Bass that could lead to something further in the season.
Keeping things light and fun Georgina is auditioning dates
for Dan, someone who is sexy and literary, resulting in a great montage that
this season so needs.
Gossip Girl herself is doing some great cheeky voice-overs
confirming that this is the beginning of the end, and with characters like Sage
confirming that no one reads Gossip Girl anymore it is only 9 episodes away
from an epic finale!
