Cyrus is back on Gossip Girl! And the top of his cute bald head literally reaches his wife’s ear when she’s in her heels for the … what party was it again? Oh yeah, Blair’s engagement party. Not to be confused with the Constance / St. Jude party.
Louis’ mother is the most wishy-washy princess ever. However, the Cyrus scenes won my heart. How does he do it? I know Cyrus has magical kibitzing powers and all, but avian welfare? Really? I can’t believe she actually fell for that.
I’m getting way more excited about the psycho Charlie storyline than any other one going on right now. Does that make me weird? I totally got a Single White Female chill as Charlie looked at Serena’s cotillion photo with marked concentration (read: Crazy Eyes) and attempted to copy her hairstyle. And, um, usually the toilet is a better place to dispose of a hundred pills … just saying. It’s like you want to get caught. And what better person to find the empty bottle than righteous softie Rufus!
Russell Thorpe saying “I can’t let Raina find out what I did” is like an automatic ticket to her finding out. Especially because these people can’t keep a secret to save their lives! (Oh, and there goes Nate, doing that right now as I type this!) I was interested in this latest turn of events, but I am still confused by it all. Why would anybody want, or even allow, Avery to die in a fire, despite how guilty they felt about the affair? I hope it doesn’t mean that I’m not smart enough to watch this show, because that would be just sad.
The finale looks great! Not in a long time has one episode continued into another like that. (Do you remember the last time that happened on this show? If so, please remind me.) I should have known that Blair would become bait as soon as Jack told Russell that “nothing turns [Chuck] upside down like losing Blair Waldorf.” I’m actually kind of scared to watch the episode. I’m getting flashbacks of that insane episode of Six Feet Under where David is taken hostage and that guy pours gasoline all over him and almost lights him on fire.
Can we just take a minute to giggle about the title of this episode? “Shattered Bass”: It just needs a few seconds all by itself.
I would have predicted that Charlie will either commit suicide or get killed in the Season 4 finale, but I just got wind of the fact that she’s been signed on as a series regular for next season. Oh well. I was kinda looking forward to never seeing her again.
