When last we left, the eldest Bass (husband of Lily van der Woodsen, father of Chuck) was taken out in a car wreck. Chuck went into a tailspin and though Blair admitted that she loved Chuck he pushed her away. His new-to-the-show uncle dragged him home from wherever. After Chuck got tossed out of school for smoking hash (since it has a smoother buzz), he made it to the roof of his repurchased burlesque club. On the edge, Blair talked him down and there may just be hope for the young lovers. ‘Til we hear Blair say to the uncle “He can’t know about new year’s”… Oh Blair, whatever happened on new year’s?
Our other big drama when last we left, was that the Mrs. finally free of the Mr. (as in Bass) was free to pursue her love of Rufus. Until the Humphrey clan patriarch found out about their long lost child given up for adoption, he could forgive the giving up of child, but not telling him… Well Dan found out about this through spy skills, and from Chuck, but is sworn to secrecy, no sharing with his reunited beloved Serena, waiting for mom to tell her secrets herself. Will this rock the kid’s new found togetherness, they keep being apart because… because they’re from different worlds, or their parents are together, or… who knows, but the young love is apparently an easily derailed one.
And the rest of our players? Little J is still in the dark about the drama being back at school on cream coat day and picking a fight with the girls on the steps on behalf of the latest tormentee Little J replacement. Eric van der Woodsen is so far just little J’s new sidekick. And Nate, who chose Vanessa over the littlest Humphrey, might just be hunkered down with Vanessa, no sign of them yet. Always something to stay tuned for.
