Gossip Girl delivers so much Thanksgiving drama in "The Treasure of Serena Madre" that it makes our recent holiday horrors seem almost delightful.
Rufus shakes things up by planning a traditional Thanksgiving for the Humphrey-Van der Woodsen clan. The dinner gets complex as many characters are brought together that should have as much distance between them as possible.
Tripp is forced to cancel his secret plans with Serena when Maureen suggests they spend Thanksgiving together. Ironically, Lily and Maureen run into each other and Lily invites her over. Always the opportunist, Serena takes Nate as a replacement. Too bad Serena doesn't bank on Nate teaming up with Maureen to put an end to the Tripp and Serena romance.
Mother issues abound! Unable to stay on campus and having nowhere else to go after fighting with her mother, Vanessa runs to her bestie. Dan helps them patch things up. Too bad he's not left alone with his thoughts for long. Rufus invites mom and Vanessa to Thanksgiving dinner. Discovering her mother's will will soon be changed and an unexplained pregnancy test, Blair suspects her mother is pregnant. Rufus surprises Lily with her mom, but the surprise is on him.
Serena finds that mystery letter from her father in their safe. Suddenly, Lily's threat for Serena to end the affair or she's no longer welcome in their family has no clout. I can't wait to watch Gossip Girl in the upcoming weeks to see what is revealed about Lily. Speaking of Humphrey drama, Jenny finally discovers Eric's role at the cotillion.
The list of music from Gossip Girl this week is slim. Gossip Girl music from this episode includes: Vampire Weekend's "White Sky", The Raveonettes' "Last Dance", Thao's "Cool Yourself", Paramore's "The Only Exception", and Jason Derulo's "Whatcha Say" (ft. Imogen Heap).
