10. Queen B Dethroned
As Blair (Leighton Meester) deals with a nasty pregnancy rumor, her clique gives her the cold shoulder upon learning that she cheated on her boyfriend Nate (Chace Crawford) with his best friend Chuck (Ed Westwick).

9. Return of Mr. van der Woodsen
After Serena (Blake Lively) combed through Europe searching for her father (William Baldwin), he resurfaces to treat her mother’s cancer. One catch? He’s more interested in rekindling things with his ex-wife, who’s currently married to Rufus (Matthew Settle).

8. Jenny Dates a Drug Dealer
Careful, Little J! When Jenny (Taylor Momsen) begins dating drug-dealer Damien (Kevin Zegers) behind her father’s back, the troubled teen soon begins peddling drugs herself.

7. Chuck and Blair’s Limo Lust
After Blair seduces Chuck with a sexy striptease at the burlesque nightclub Victrola, the two — finally! — hook up in a limo on their way home.

6. College Catfight
Hell hath no fury like a frenemy scorned! When Yale University courts Serena, Blair thinks her BFF is stealing her dream. Her response? A full-on girl fight at a university-sponsored party, shocking the Yale administration.

5. Three’s a Crowd
Fearing they’re missing out on the college experience, Olivia (Hilary Duff) hatches a plan with Dan (Penn Badgley) and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) to have a threesome. One problem: after the deed is done, Dan develops feelings for Vanessa, creating a messy love triangle.

4. Murder Mystery
When Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) returns to the Upper East Side and begins to torment Serena, Blair confronts her nervous BFF — and got the most shocking news of Season 2. “I killed someone,” Serena reveals coldly.

(Actually, it was S1 and Serena was a hot mess when she told Blair, Chuck and Nate. I wouldn’t say she was “cold” about it.)

3. Lil’ J Jumps into Bed with Chuck
A vulnerable and misguided Jenny calls losing her virginity to Chuck (who tried to rape her three years ago) “a mistake” after her supposed paramour does the deed and runs back to Blair in season three.

2. Gossiping for Two
Baby on board! Trachtenberg’s Georgina Sparks returned to the CW series in a big way — announcing on the third season finale she is pregnant — with Dan’s baby.

1. Bullet Wounds
Could a single shot silence Chuck Bass for good? In the final moments of season three’s finale, Chuck was cornered in an alley as thieves attempted to steal the engagement sparkler he’d intended to give Blair — that is, until she found out he slept with Jenny!

Another season finale. Another blind item mystery solved. I can now confirm that Georgina’s top-secret baby bump — revealed in the closing minutes of tonight’s Gossip Girl‘s finale — was the out-of-the-blue pregnancy shocker at the center of my March 22 brain teaser. But the news that Dan’s going to be a papa was just one of several OMG! moments in the season-ender (Chuck shot! Dan still loves Serena! Jenny banished to suburbia!). Luckily, exec producer Stephanie Savage agreed to a little post-climax Q&A to help make sense of what went down and preview what’s to come.

My first question: Were those Taylor Momsen’s real tears?
STEPHANIE SAVAGE: Yes. I wasn’t there on the day they shot that, but that’s what it really looks like if a girl with raccoon eyes cries that much. There was nothing we could do.

How long will Jenny be gone for?
SAVAGE: I’d rather not say.

Will she be a changed person when she returns?
SAVAGE: Yes. What happens in the finale has a real impact on Jenny.

Safe to say Blair/Chuck are far from over?
SAVAGE: That is correct.

But how does she forgive him for sleeping with Jenny?
SAVAGE: [Chuck getting shot] is significant enough that it creates some space for them to, if not exactly rekindle their romance right away, at least find a humanity in each other. She doesn’t forgive him immediately. But it’s a significant enough event to recalculate things.

So the Jenny thing is not irreparable?
SAVAGE: It’s Chuck and Blair. It’s always going to be a wild ride. And that’s the thing. I believe personally that their love for each other is really strong. They are going to encounter incredible obstacles over the course of their time together and the question is whether or not they’re strong enough to make it through.

It’s been announced that Ed Westwick will be traveling to Paris with Blake Lively and Leighton Meester to shoot scenes for the season premiere. Does that mean Chuck was wearing a bullet-proof vest or something?
SAVAGE: Ed will definitely be filming in Paris with us this summer. That’s all I can confirm. Don’t rule out flashbacks. And we’ve been visited by ghosts before.

Let’s talk about the baby bombshell. Was it always your plan for Georgina to come back pregnant?
SAVAGE: Yes. We did the math on her leaving town. We sent her away and we were like, “Hmm… that could work out well.” The last gesture I made to [Michelle] when she went away was I mimed a belly bump so she had something to look forward to when she came back.

Does Mercy‘s cancellation mean we’ll get more Georgina next season?
SAVAGE: It certainly opens the door to expanding her role. We just got the news a few days ago so we’re still in process of figuring out how it affects our plans. We love Michelle and Georgie and would welcome both of them spending much more time with us.

Dan was planning to follow Serena to Paris when he was interrupted by Georgina. Safe to say the Dan/Serena love story is…
SAVAGE: … reactivated. Sorting through that is going to become a larger story.

Realer Than Serena Refusing to Believe How Terrible Her Dad Is
• Lily drank suspicious looking green apple juice all throughout her pregnancy with Serena that sketchy Dr. Will, who is not above giving patients unnecessary medications, got for her. This explains everything! Plus 2 — JNP1013

• Nate “can’t handle dead rabbits.” Plus ten, because of course he can’t — astorwaldorf

• Blair refers to “this Holland person”, unsure as to whether Rufus, like her dad, cheated with a dude. Plus 2. — purpleandgreen

• “Not to be cold, but they do get easier,” Plus 3 Eric really is a young, gay Yoda. — southerncomfort

• “Why are you whispering? If it’s a seduction technique, don’t bother.” If this is the writers’ passive-aggressive way of calling Ed Westwick out on it, then plus 5. Plus 10,000 if he takes a hint. — signaturescarf

• Blair compared Chuck to House, another Brit whom she tried to seduce in her past-life as a dishwater blonde. I appreciated the reference. — freakynow

• Plus 5 for Chuck whining to the therapist about having to watch Audrey Hepburn movies all the time, I knew he was only pretending to enjoy those, nobody who sleeps with women actually enjoys those movies. — nurseluvbass

• Plus 5 for Blair thinking that bringing handcuffs to a first date was a good idea. That’s my girl. — the_deacon

• Plus 5 for Blair’s Wuthering Heights reference – she would totally identify with the whole marrying/dating the good guy while secretly lusting after the bad guy thing. — ninotshka

• The vDWs have a giant drawer in the kitchen stocked with tons of prescription pills and a mortar/pestle. Plus 3. — sfxsnappeas

• After all the horrible things he has done to her, Blair’s still hung up on the fact that Chuck has kissed guys before. Plus 20 freudian points, because that’s a grudge you carry to the grave when your father leaves you for a male model. — stiletto33

• Of course Dan gets mad when the Humphreys talk about themselves in third person. Dan is the writer in the family. Only Dan gets to talk about Dan in an omniscient voice. Plus 2, one for Dan… and one for Dan’s ego. — imadestination

• Plus 5 because Nate also sent his own father to prison, and at least he’s consistent — 4JD

• Rufus calling out Lily’s propensity to whorishness: “You know that I’d never do that Lily. Maybe you would, but I wouldn’t.” Awesome! Plus 8 — cleavage_rhombus

Faker Than Anyone Complimenting Lily’s Parenting Skills
• Even if Nate can’t recognize it as common sense, he should at least know from Dawson’s Creek that sending your girlfriend’s father to prison is a sure-fire way to get dumped. Minus only 2, because it’s a little before his time, and …he’s Nate. — pretential_energy

• Why does Eric never go to these black tie galas? I mean I know there’s always excuses; I hate my Baldwin daddy for abandoning me, I have a date with bi boy, I’m macking on some Japanese ass, but this time there was nothing. — kdow3

• Jenny’s hair has morphed into an anaconda of angst. Her hair looks like its auditioning to be the next portion of The Human Centipede. Gross. Minus 10 — cellardoor

• Minus 10 for Baldwin not going Casablanca on the hat-sporting Serena in his last scene. “Maybe not today, Maybe not tomorrow..” — maob004

• When did Chuck Bass’ suite become a hostel for the homeless and downtrodden? He owns the flippin hotel. I’m sure he can pull a few strings to get these degenerates their own suite.Minus 10 — roseyro

• No way Eric would have packed and left. He, unlike the rest of the characters goes to school and he now has a regular hookup. Minus 5 — misschristypoo

• Is Serena trying to channel Carmen Sandiego with her detective hat? If so, she forgot the red trench coat. Minus 7 for the forgetting the most important detail. — enliven

• Every episode is starting to feel like an episode of Charmed. Instead of supernatural smackdowns ending at the manor, they have huge character takedowns at a ball or at Lil’s house. Minus 10 for predictability and the lack of magical demons. — lightyears

• Minus 5 for Elliot not being over when the rest of the VDWs made a surprisingly early return from the Library Gala. C’mon Eric, you had a perfect opportunity… — harlowblair

• The black and white portrait of a thonged badonk in Nate and Chuck’s apartment is a little Big 10 for them, don’t you think? Minus 1. — OMFGGG

• Is this 1855, why is Blair wearing what seems to be a bustle? Minus 15 — merriweather

• When did Gossip Girl become Iron Chef? Minus 10. In battle Juicer vs. Waffle Iron, Lily would clearly choose Adderall like a good UES housewife. — polishpierogi

• Minus 50 for Lily not immediately thinking something was up when William complimented her parenting skills. Her daughter has slept with half of the UES and Brooklyn and has KILLED SOMEONE. Her son tried to off himself. Clearly, she’s not doing something right — feed_the_ducks

• Minus 20 for the Blair/Chuck proposal storyline in the season finale. The only 19-year-olds who get married are Jesus freaks getting frustrated by the limitations of BJs and dry humping. Pretty sure Blair and Chuck were past that about 10 minutes into the limo ride. — blairismygracekelly
