A bachelorette party, an arrest, an evil stepsister who may have gone good… here are some of the big moments from the episode!

  • Blair’s Bachelorette Party – Princess Beatrice is back and wants to play nice (although we find out it’s because she and Father Cavalia are plotting to get Blair drunk in hopes she’ll leave Louis for Chuck). Beatrice, the bride-to-be, and the minions go to a Mexican restaurant, and the girls fix a drinking game to ensure that B takes a fair share of tequila shots. “You cannot choose who you love, but you can choose how you love them,” she says during her drunken heart-to-heart about Louis and Chuck with Beatrice. When she steps outside, a girl hands her a joint right before a cop comes up — she mistakes him for a stripper — and he arrests her. Oops!
  • Chuck Stalks Blair - Chuck tells Nate he’s been following Blair. Nate reminds him that there is a fine line between surveillance and stalking. Blair spots Chuck while she and Beatrice are waiting in line for macaroons. “What are you doing here?!” she asks him. “And don’t say shopping for velour track pants!” We all get a mental image of Chuck in those pants.
  • Father Cavalia Gets Even More Creepy – The priest to the royal family poses as Father Smythe as Blair confesses to him that she pressed the “door close” button in the elevator even though she saw a woman running to get in (ha!). She also confesses that she wants to bring Father Smythe with her to Monaco when she becomes Princess. She walks away, the camera reveals he was the one in the confession box, and he looks off in a super evil way.
  • Nate and Gossip Girl Get Close – Gossip Girl tells Nate that Tripp was the one that sabotaged his car (the one that ultimately hurt Blair and Chuck), and in exchange Nate doesn’t publish Serena’s column on The Spectator’s website. It’s super awkward when the press is there taking pics of S holding up her iPad and there’s no column. Serena snoops on Nate’s computer, finds out he’s been talking with Gossip Girl, and the two of them get in a huge fight at the office — Nate fires Serena. The fight gets leaked on Gossip Girl’s site. But then the two team up together to get back at Tripp.
  • Serena and Dan Fake Get Together and Break Up – Ever since their fake-but-totally-real midnight kiss in the last episode, the two have been “keeping up appearances” to make everyone think they’re a real couple. But then Dan’s agent tells him to back away from Serena… it’s bad for his future book deal. So the two stop, but you can tell Serena really wants to be with him. At the end of the episode, Serena is basically asking him out on a fake-but-real date to protect Blair until the wedding.
  • Louis Had Dan Write His Wedding Vows – Blair finds Louis’ wedding vows in her bedside table and tells Serena they are perfect. But, cut to Brooklyn and Dan’s receiving a package that includes a note from Louis saying thanks for writing the vows. There’s no way that’s going to remain a secret next week!
