Season three left us
in a frenzy of thrill and wonder. Jenny left town (in such a Serena-esque way), Chuck’s potential
proposal to Blair ended up being anything but that, Blair and Serena jet off to
Paris on a whim, and Dan’s one-night-stand may have become eighteen years of
baby-raisin’. Oh, and Chuck might be dead (or so the closing scene of the
season suggested.) No big deal, right?

            Season
four brought in the next set of adventures with a bang. This season gives viewers
a change of pace by offering luxurious shots of the fabulous Serena and Blair
in Paris, dressed in only the hottest styles of current French fashion.
Immediately brought to attention is Blair’s lack of male attention throughout the
summer thus far, and we can’t help but remember Chuck showing Little J some
love in last season’s finale, causing his immediate breakup with Blair. B and S
go head-to-head, fighting over their sudden sharing of the Upper West Side at
Columbia in the fall, and, how can I forget, a prince. It seems that your
average beautiful French man will never be enough for these spoiled brats.

           Back
in the States, Nate has been spending the summer taking a walk in Chuck’s
shoes, enjoying all the secrets of his Little Black Book. But it takes
something special to really catch is eye, and this
something is the stunning Juliet. She at first seems innocent, taking a great
interest in Nate’s emotions and feelings, but when we discover her computer
monitor displaying the Gossip Girl homepage, and a wall full of everything
related to our favorite New York gossip magnets, we have to question her
motives.

           And
what the heck was Daddy Humphrey thinking when he agreed to sign baby Milo’s
birth certificate without a paternity test? It’s nothing personal, Georgina
Sparks, but you have never really been one to trust. When Georgina packs up and
runs out of town while her baby daddy is asleep with Milo, we knew we would be
in for a scandalous season.

           An
episode that begins with Bass must end with Bass as well. And who really
thought he was dead, anyway? Our baby billionaire seems to be doing just fine
enjoying a life under a false name and a beautiful European girlfriend, but a
comment about a reoccurring nightmare suggests that all may not be rainbows and
butterflies in Bass’s pond.
