Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 3 Recap: The Dark Night
Things heat up in during a New York blackout on the most recent episode of Gossip Girl. This seems to be the week of the undeniable passion and the profession of love between the cast members.Blair is finally willing to admit that her Mr. Prince Charming isn’t all that he is cut out to be. She tries to come on to him, when she is quickly shot down. Although he is perfect in every other area, the fact that he hasn’t tried to come on to her is nagging. Meanwhile, Chuck is entertaining a different woman every night; he even goes to lengths to bring in a
Tokyo whore. However, we soon discover he’s still in love with Blair. (Duh!)Meanwhile, Dan and Serena continue about their business as if no one is going to notice that they are back together. Unable to maturely discuss their problems, they choose to ignore the past and forge ahead thinking that the physical relationship will solve everything. It is quite unfortunate when a random girl catches a picture of the two of them making out and immediately alerts Gossip Girl. Although, perhaps the strangest part of the episode is when Dan’s Dad shows his enthusiasm regarding their reunion…. He reads Gossip Girl????
The Duchess catches Nate and Vanessa kissing and calls her only ally Blair. Blair agrees to have Vanessa and Nate meet her so she can invite them to one of her parties. Knowing the he needs money for his family and the support the Duchess is willing to provide in exchange for favors, Nate ditches Vanessa and attends the party alone.
The lights go out on Blair’s party and Chuck takes this opportunity to hit on Blair. Vanessa catches Nate and the Duchess holding hands and confronts them. Serena and Dan are trapped in an elevator together.
The lights come back on and Marcus walks in on Blair kissing Chuck. He walks out of the room and Blair goes after him and tries to convince him she thought she was kissing him. (Yeah right!) All in all this was an interesting episode all around. Who knows who will wind up with who by the time this season is over. What do you think?
This sounds like a good series I haven’t actually watched myself. Though from what you say it definately does sound like a worthwhile watch. Thanks for informing me about this series.
