TV Review: Gossip Girl - "Woman on the Verge"

Part of: Gossip Girl Gossip

Misunderstandings... where would soap operas be without them? If "destined to be" couples actually could talk to each other they'd all live happily ever after and, of course, we'd have nothing to watch.

The Non-Judgmental Breakfast Club.  Blair and Nate assure Serena that they've made awful mistakes in the past. Chuck merely says, "I'm Chuck Bass."

Serena's stupid little secret.  Serena is deathly afraid to let Dan know that after being lured into a hotel room so her evil best friend could secretly film her having sex that the guy also trying to take advantage of her snorted some of his own cocaine and died. Typical, everyone's worst soap opera secret is really not really that big of a deal, certainly not a big enough deal to tell Dan that she slept with someone else during her one night slut spiral. Why does it never occur to these people that the lies they make up to avoid their true loves finding out the truth is always worse than the actual truth?

If Chuck says it you better believe it.  Chuck calls Georgina a psycho bitch and appears to be afraid of her.

Odd Chuck fact of the week -  He has been called Charles numerous times.

Chuck fashion disaster of the week - That ugly brown sweater combo. His suit for the rehearsal dinner was actually somewhat stylish.

Girl can think on her feet!  Having been busted, Georgina instantly explains away her Sarah identity and moves onto plan B, despoiling the ever judgmental, saintly, Dan before Serena has a chance to tell him why she has gone off the deep end.

Saint of the week - Blair proves to be a wonderful friend, although Nate's transformation into Jesus is now nearly complete, what a guy!

Gay but still no air time - Eric's secret's out, but he isn't even invited to the rehearsal dinner.

Loser of the week - Lisa Loeb hosts a fake VH1 show about has-beens.

Rufus sings - His hit song was sort of cool, sounded a bit like the Gin Blossoms, but there is no way that his singing voice would be that high.

Rufus steps up to the plate.  After accidentally singing his eternal love to Lily one more time, he steps out on the street and won't let her by without a kiss. Rufus may be going Graduate on the Bass wedding next week.

Hopes for next week's finale - Dan gets run over by a truck. Rufus wins Lily back. Chuck has Georgina disemboweled by a Latin American hit squad. Eric gets to attend his mother's 4th wedding with the boy of his choice!
