Gossip Girl Episode 12 – The Debarted
December 16th, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized — Movie Critic
Top reasons to watch Gossip Girl: music, fashion, and Drama. While “The Debarted” seemed like it was going to primarily deal with Chuck’s issues, Serena’s issues take the forefront. This Gossip Girl episode opens with Tripp and Serena looking like they’re about to get into a car accident. You’re kept on the edge of your seat because we don’t get back to this scene almost until the episode ends.
Tripp and Serena appear to be in adulterated bliss. Leaving her alone at their getaway and pretending to meet with his grandfather, Tripp meets Maureen to boldly proclaim that he is adamant about the divorce. His boldness is short-lived. When Tripp proves he’s more mouse than man, Nate steps up to the plate.
Not only does Maureen get Tripp to go along with letting her talk to Serena about sharing him, but she also threatens to use the letter against Lily if Serena doesn’t comply. Lily is mortified to learn that Maureen has the letter and promises Serena that she will tell Rufus. Poor Rufus is an innocent bystander in these women’s twisted webs of love.
Blair confronts Chuck about his abnormal behavior, saying she knows it’s the anniversary of his father’s death. Chuck has to face his demons (really his father’s ghost) before he loses everything important to him. In finding closure, another door opens. Could the mysterious dark-haired woman he spies at his father’s grave be his mother?
Jenny and Eric finally call a truce!
