Gossip Girl: Double Identity (S4E2)

Okay, we're back and ready for some more GG! The first episode left us wondering a little bit about Chuck so hopefully this episode might clear things up...:)

(Since I haven't watched this episode in more than a month, I think I'm blending the first and second episode into each other, so sorry for all the confusion, excuse my mistakes as I am too weary to go back and watch the first 4 episodes all over again.)

1. Blair + (fake) Prince??
1. So Blair meets this handsome, dashing young man at an art gallery, who she suspects is the Prince of Monaco, yes, no, maybe so? I'm so confused. Well, actually, the Prince was pretending to be the chauffeur in order to weed out the groupies vying for his attention, which of course, Blair is.
2. Well, he forgives her, I have no idea why, and invites her to a summer ball, which includes dressing up and Harry Winston which she absolutely indulges in. She's finally the princess that she wants to be. But after hearing about the engagement ring that was found when she was at the Harry Winston store, she realizes that she still has these feelings towards Chuck that she can't seem to shake off...
3. I'm sad that they didn't actually end up being together because they're so adorableeeeee~! Ahhh new romance in NY maybe?
2. Blair + Serena
1. They get into a little cat fight during their double date with the supposed Prince and his chaffeur when Blair discovers that Serena's attending Columbia. Minor mishap, as we know, they fight all the time, but they always get back together, it's like an abusive relationship, but it's just how they work. (I think this actually happened in the first episode, SORRY!)
3. Serena +  Chuck
1. After Lily discovers that Chuck hasn't paid the bills on the Empire in like 3 months, she starts to get worried, especially after hearing that they found his belongings washed up in Paris. So she asks Serena to go see if the mysterious body in the river is actually Chuck. No! Thank goodness it isn't!
2. Well, Serena discovers where Chuck is hiding and how he wants to give up his old life to start a new life, she begs Blair to go and change his mind, and like the dashing diva that she is, she goes and saves him from making the worst decision of his life at the train station. We all knew this meeting was going to go down, it was just and a where and when.
4. Chuck + Eva
1. Meanwhile, Chuck and Eva are living the poor life. Chuck is pretending to be happy being poor, throwing away his privileged life because he truly believes that he can be happy by being simple.
2. Well, due to the meeting between Chuck and Blair, Chuck's going back to NYC and bringing that ugly Eva.
5. Juliet + Nate + Dan + Vanessa
1. So Nate and Dan both want Serena back but Juliet is "trying" to help Nate get her back by purposely pushing Vanessa and Dan back together
2. All I can say is Juliet is getting on my nerves, and what's with the creepy newspaper clippings of the GG gang...mystery mystery...
6. Fresh meat! Both annoying girls but here to stay, sort of...
1. Juliet: Nate's new love interest --> everything around this girl is weird, cold, and calculating, leaving us to wonder who she really is...what she's planning to do to the GG group
2. Eva: Chuck's new love interest --> simple minded, pure, innocent, poor, and everything that Chuck isn't which is probably the reason why he's so attracted to her

So, we have officially left Paris and finally back in NYC! Let the real drama begin!
