one end-of-the-episode party.. For part one, there's family brunch where Rufus and Lily try to smooth talk Serena and Dan and Eric -the now barely existent son. All the kiddies stomp away, leaving Lily to call the judge and tell him he can come back from hiding. That Lily! So sneaky! Oop, except barely there Eric finds out. Whoops!
"Gossip girl for me is like an inspiration to move forward on all of my endeavors and personal issues that I need to attend with here at my school. Before, I used to be that girl who can't understand the environment that I am living in, but after becoming a fan of this tv-series, I realize that everything makes a lot of sense now and here I am mingling well with all of my friends. I still have my own prerogative when it comes to becoming disciplined but of course, when its time to have fun, it should be real fun! Thanks for posting this one again!"
Chuck discovers the Bass Industry sale is fast-tracked for 24 hours. He finds Serena and they plan a big take-down at that night's party, the one held by his father's old friend. Because there's ALWAYS a party at the end of G.G.
Lily tells Chuck that Bass was in trouble because it's based on hotels and real estate which aren't doing so fabulously, and she found a private bidder where she controls the sale in hopes of saving the rest of his father's legacy. It's very meaningful. She always wears a chignon when she's meaningful. She promises that Serena will see the light too. Where? At that night's party, of course.
Serena blows of Dan, again. He misses his interview. He forgives her. Again. They head off.. to the party.
Gossip Girl is a teen drama which premiered on September 19, 2007 in the United States on The CW. Gossip Girl is based on the young-adult book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar, and was developed for television by The O.C. creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. The series follows the lives of the young, wealthy social elite residing in Upper East Side, Manhattan, and is narrated by an unseen and seemingly omniscient character, "Gossip Girl", whose blog is widely read among the characters.
After the first three episodes were aired, the series received a full season order of twenty-two episodes from The CW. Due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, only thirteen episodes were produced. Once the strike ended, The CW announced five more episodes to be produced and aired in April and May 2008. Despite earning low ratings during the first part of the first season, it was announced in March 2008 that the series was renewed for a second season since it "hits a bulls-eye with The CW's target demographic of females 18 to 34" and the episodes are among the most downloaded on iTunes. When the series began to air again in April, however, The CW stopped offering online streaming on their website in an apparent effort to boost ratings though in July 2008 The CW decided to put back the online streaming of the show's episodes on their website again. On November 9, 2009, Gossip Girl went on hiatus during January and February in order to boost ratings with no repeats in the Spring. Life Unexpected took its timeslot. Gossip Girl returned on March 8, 2010 with new episodes through May to finish out its third season, and it's currently airing its fourth season.
And here we all are at the party. Chuck thanks his father's friend, Russell Thorpe, for buying Bass Industries. Turns out Russell was super duper burned by Chuck's dad and isn't buying the company. In fact he wishes the company would die a thousand painful party dress deaths. Even if he did sleep with Lily a long, long time ago.
Dan misses a second interview because of Serena. Blair looks sad. They talk nice. Ewwww.
Whoops! Thorpe and his daughter, whom I believe are the first black people on G.G., decide to buy Bass Industries after all! They promise to make everyone's life a living hell. Yay! And guess who they are hiring to make naughty financial deals - Nate's criminally inclined dad. Is there no one else in New York City who is free to make financial deals, like all of Bear Stearns?
Finally Serena and Dan gaze at each other wistfully and say eh. Seems like it's over for a moment.
The episode ends with Dan and Blair going to another movie. It's all too painful to think about. Serena heads to visit Ben in jail only to discover he's been set free by the same oft-paid-for judge. They end up having coffee in what's sure to be a stable, secure relationship.
And Chuck decides to win back his company by sleeping with Reyna, Russell Thorpe's daughter. Because that's just good business sense.
Next week: Blair, having decided she really wants to be Anna Wintour, starts interning at W.

Buckley was born in 1955 to parents Betty Bob (née Diltz), a dancer and journalist, and Ernest Buckley, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force and later a college professor and dean of engineering. Buckley grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, studied history at the University of Texas at Arlington before moving to California where he would later graduate from the University of Southern California.[1] In spite of initial disapproval from his father, who wanted him to become a civil engineer like himself and Buckley's two brothers, Norman Buckley attended the film school at the University of Southern California.[2] He intended to become a writer, but was encouraged to take up a craft, in addition to writing, and he soon discovered he had a natural aptitude for film editing.
[edit]Career
Buckley's first job as an assistant editor was on the 1983 film Tender Mercies, which featured his sister, actress Betty Buckley, who helped him land the job after hearing that the film's editor was seeking a local assistant while on location in Waxahachie, Texas. The editor was pleased with Buckley's work and took him to New York to begin his career.
Since then, he has worked on many films, television series and made-for-TV movies as an editor. He landed his most notable job on The O.C.—as both an editor and director—having previously worked with Stephanie Savage and McG on the television series Fastlane. His co-editor on the series, Matt Ramsey, had previously been Buckley's editing assistant but was promoted to co-editor when Josh Schwartz initially offered Buckley the job on The O.C..[3][4] Following The O.C.'s conclusion, Buckley followed Schwartz to direct and edit his next projects, Gossip Girl and Chuck.
Aside from editing, he has ventured in producing only once in 1999 on the film Happy, Texas but more notably has directed a number of episodes on the following television series: The O.C., Gossip Girl, Chuck,Greek, the new Melrose Place, the new 90210, Privileged, The Middleman, Make It or Break It, Pretty Little Liars, and the Josh Schwartz webseries Rockville, CA.
His only acting credit is a minor role in Solomon & Sheba, a part he only landed because was editing another project in Morocco, and the producers shooting Solomon & Sheba did not want to fly in other English-speaking actors to play minor parts. He agreed to do it only as a lark.
Buckley has been nominated twice for an American Cinema Editors award: in 2003, for Joe and Max, for Best Edited Motion Picture for Non-Commercial Television;[6] and in 2008, for the pilot for Chuck, for Best Edited One-Hour Series for Commercial Television. He won the latter award at the ACE banquet on February 17, 2008.
He has been an assistant visiting professor in the film school at the University of California, Los Angeles.
