Gossip Girl: It's a Wonderful Lie
(S02E12) "I'm leaving him." - LilyIf you are keeping up with Gossip Girl spoilers like me, the shocking ending of "It's a Wonderful Lie" was not surprising and you know what will happen next week (don't worry, I won't spoil the fun here for those of you able to stay away from spoilers). Even if I knew what was coming, that didn't make me enjoy the episode and its ending less. I actually enjoyed the episode mostly because I've been a Rufus/Lily shipper since the pilot episode of The CW series. The highlight of the episode was when Rufus told Lily why he let her marry Bart. Come to think of it, the real highlight for me was probably that phone call Lily received at the end of the episode. Don't you agree?
Like him or not, Bart Bass is a great nemesis and an interesting character. All series need a character more evil than the others, and Bart is Gossip Girl's Prince of Darkness. For a minute or two at the beginning of the episode, Bart did seem to genuinely want to change and save his marriage. But old habits are hard to get rid of, especially if you are a TV character, so when he learns that his marriage is more than likely definitely over, Bart accepts to listen to what his PI has to say.
I wonder what happened between Bart telling his PI to spill the beans and the accident? Did the chauffeur overhear what the PI said about Lily (you know that the dirt he discovered was more than likely about why Lily went into the institution) and was so shocked by the reveal that he lost control of the car? Or did Bart get furious after hearing the gossip, ordered his driver to speed so to arrive at the ball sooner rather than later which led to a car crash? Or maybe it was an accident, nothing more to it? Unless there's some sort of conspiracy and someone orchestrated the accident to take Bart out of the equation? What do you think? Share your theory with us in comments below.
As I've said before, I'm a Rufus/Lily shipper. I want them to end up together and live happily ever after. I was so ecstatic when Lily told Rufus that she was leaving Bart for good. Papa Bass is not the man for Lily and it was about time she decided to end things. Talk about Rufus being a classy guy as he didn't push the issue after she made her announcement and only took her in his arms and started to dance with her. She needed support at that precise moment and that's what he offered. I enjoyed their one on one on the rooftop a lot. Rufus telling Lily that he has been regretting letting her go everyday since her wedding to Bart just broke my heart. I truly hope that those two give their couple a serious try once the whole "Bart was in an accident" ordeal is over.
Other tidbits of interest:
- Yay for Nate choosing Vanessa over Jenny! The latter really doesn't deserve Nate considering her recent behavior. Jenny is not turning into the person we tought she was going to become so no wonder Nate doesn't like who she is right now either. I hope this rejection shakes Jenny up enough for her to go back to being daddy's little girl.
- Yuk at Serena and Aaron. Need I say more?
- I truly hope that this episode marked the end of Dan and Serena not being able to let go of one another. These two need to really accept that they are not in a relationship anymore and move on. They did "clear the air" as they said but will it be enough?
- "If Beta Bass is anything like the original, I have no doubt that sooner or later he'll disappoint me." How true was Blair when she said those words. Then again, Beta Blair would surely sooner or later back stab Chuck! As it was the case for the Betas, Chuck and Blair need to end up together. Until this happens, I'm willing to be entertained each week by their dancing around one another.
