Tonight on Gossip Girl, we open on Blair and Nate walking around in the Village, talking about Blair’s mixed feelings about attending NYU. She’s worried about ironic facial hair, mole men, middle-class professionals, and patchouli, which are the four majors available at NYU, so she’s in trouble. Nate wants to show her around to all the great Village pizza places and pot dealers, and then proposes they try out the subway, which will be the quickest way for them to see each other next year, but she resists.
Rufus, Jenny and Dan are shopping around for a trunk for Dan to take to Yale. Rufus tells the kids that selling the gallery will give him enough money to pay for college for Dan and Jenny and get some “breathing room” to figure out what to do next. Rufus spots an antique ring in a case, and Dan notices, but he says he is “just looking.” Rufus answers his phone and walks away, and Dan shows Jenny the ring. (As if Lily would wear an old dusty bauble from a Brooklyn antique shop.)
Blair goes to Serena and they lightheartedly talk about Chuck vs. Nate (“It’s not a real relationship if you can’t hold hands,” Blair says.) and then the convo moves to Gabriel. Serena complains that Gabriel never has time for her because of his new company, then she admits that they kinda sorta got married in Spain. Blair says his disappearing act sounds fishy, and proposes they spy on him, code names and all. But since Serena hates fun trusts Gabriel, she refuses.
Nate and Chuck are playing basketball, so naturally Chuck is wearing a full velour tracksuit over a polo and ascot. Nate says he feels weird talking to Chuck about Blair, but Chuck insists that they’re friends and Nate has no reason to worry about him getting in the way of his relationship. Nate admits he is worried about being all the way across the city from Blair next year. The distance between Columbia and NYU basically makes them a long-distance couple. What to do? Nothing a little trust fund can’t fix….READ FULL RECAP
