    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Serena (Blake Lively) wants to impress the film-fanatic director with her knowledge of Hollywood's Golden Age, but what she knows about Bette Davis doesn't extend beyond the Kim Carnes early Eighties song Kim Carnes: Bette Davis Eyes (1981) so she just muses about loving Bette Davis' eyes and whose hair is Harlow gold.
    • Goofs
      When Dan is with Rachel in the locker room and they're almost having sex, he's holding her at first with the left arm. Then, after the cut, with the right arm, and then again with the left arm.
    • Quotes

      Dan Humphrey: You called Yale? You sent that blast in to Gossip Girl to get revenge against Blair? I believed in you... all your talk about integrity and ideals.

      Rachel Carr: My ideals? Blair spread false rumors about us, blackmailed the entire school, and turned my job and career into a sham with no repercussions. She's a self-absorbed psychopath with no remorse, regret, shame or guilt for her actions.

      Dan Humphrey: My God... you're just as bad as she is. No, you're worse! Blair is a high school student. You're an adult. She has her whole life ahead of her. You ruined her dream to get into the college of her choice. You need to fix things with Blair.

      Rachel Carr: Absolutely not! Blair got what she deserved. She's had it coming for a long time.

      Dan Humphrey: [sighs] You know how you felt when you told me that all your hopes and ideals were crushed? Well, congratulations. You've just crushed mine.
