(S01E16) "S. Memories can fade. A video is forever. ♥ G."
Hello Upper East Siders! Did you hear the latest gossip on the streets? E was caught kissing A and S admitted to B that she killed someone! XOXO - Gossip Girl
After such an episode, I think the only thing we can say is "OMFG."
Who? What? When? How? Why? Before watching this week's episode, I knew I would learn about Serena's big secret and I had a hunch it was murder because for her to not spill the beans to anyone thus far, it had to be a MAJOR secret. Even if my prediction was accurate, I was not prepared for that reveal. When Serena said the words "I killed someone," it felt like a bomb dropped in my living room. "OMFG" was the only thing that came out of my mouth. And then, I started to think back to that video Georgina sent Serena. It wasn't a sex tape like I (and I'm sure many of you) first thought it was. It is the taping of the killing.
We only heard bits and pieces of the action that was being filmed but it sounded like Georgina, Serena, a guy and I think a third woman. I'm not sure about the latter but it sounded like there was a third female voice. Maybe there was even another person, tied to the bed, not able to speak, etc. Until we see the video ourselves, who knows, right?
Even if Serena was a bad girl over a year ago, I don't think she would have been able to do such a thing willingly. Georgina probably drugged her. And if Georgina drugged Serena back then to commit the ultimate crime, maybe she repeated the ordeal last week? We know she spiked Serena's drink and that Serena doesn't remember a thing. So who knows, maybe there is a second killing? The suspense is killing me! Good thing this episode is not the season finale (with such a ending it could very well have been).
As for the second bombshell of the episode, Eric was outed. This was less of a OMG moment since we knew exactly who would be outed and how but the aftermath was interesting to watch. As expected, Lily was shaken by the news but ultimately came to her senses and accepted her son for who he is. It was a really touching scene when she told Eric that she was scared and that he comforted her. Serena reacted really well to the news and was quite supportive. What I enjoyed was seeing Eric hold his own and decide to deal with Asher in front of everyone. I wanted to slap and shake Asher in order to put some sense into him. Asher not only hurt Jenny by using her that way but he also hurt Eric and, in the end, himself. It's not an easy thing to accept your sexual orientation and reveal it to the world but using people as a cover is not the right way to deal with it. Asher deserved what happened to him at the party.
Other tidbits of interest:
- Rufus and Lily bonded as she was planning her wedding. Even if the scene where Rufus saw Lily in the wedding dress was a bit cliché, it was a charming scene that reaffirmed his feelings for her. If Lily does walk down the aisle by the end of the season, I sense a short marriage with the elder Bass and an eventual Rufus and Lily relationship.
- In last week's poll, 82% of voters said that Blair deserved to be Queen B. Well, it turns out your wish was granted. I prefer her to be on top since it's not really Jenny's cup of tea but I'm not happy at the way Jenny was dethroned. But I guess it was needed for Jenny to come back to her roots and stop acting like someone she is not. I wonder if Jenny will go back to being herself or will try to fit in the lead group.
