On the Upper East Side when the going gets tough…
Posted by on 29th April 2009

On the Upper East Side when the going gets tough, the tough bring in the baddest bitch they’ve ever met. Case in point: Georgina Sparks. Sometimes when things get so awful and you need help it’s always best to turn to someone who, although crazy, can help you out of a sticky situation. Let’s hope Georgina can fix this big old mess that has been made…
Serena was all gaga into Gabriel. She spent a lot of time with him and was really enjoying his company. Even Lily and Rufus liked the man from North Carolina. It seemed as though Serena had finally found her Prince Charming in the form of a rich Southerner. That’s beautiful, y’all. Unfortunately, Blair was not feeling him. She thought there was something up with Gabriel and she was determined to figure out what it was. After an incredibly short stakeout, Blair caught the redneck red handed. He was making out with Poppy Lifton! Rude. When Serena confronted Gabriel about what Blair witnessed he told her that he and Poppy were not together. He was in an unfortunate sitch. Poppy had connected him with all his investors (fyi he had this huge business plan to bring WiFi to developing African nations) and was going to pull them when she found out Gabriel was now dating Serena. So Gabriel had to lie to Poppy in order to save his business venture. He fibbed to her and said he and Serena were over. Serena was bummed. However, Gabriel promised Serena he and Poppy’s relationship was not physical and once the contracts were made in a week they’d be dunzo. Forever. Gabriel only had eyes for one girl: Serena. Aww-ish. Poor Serena. Sharing a guy AGAIN? What is up with that?

Of course, Blair was still not convinced Gabriel was truthful. Especially after hearing about how he supposedly had first met Serena at Butter the night before the SAT’s (you know, the night she was drugged by Georgina). It would have been impossible for Gabriel to have met Serena since Blair had used all the bartenders from Butter for her Nelly Yuki SAT sabotage party (and besides, meeting a girl when she’s roofied is so not cute). This North Caroliner was more like a North Caro-liar. Blair and Chuck devised a scheme, much to Nate’s dismay. Nate was pissed off at all the time Blair and Chuck were spending together. Blair was his girlfriend. Not Chuck’s. Nate was so fixed on keeping the two apart he even bought a condo in Murray Hill (who the hell is he? A recent Indiana or Syracuse college grad?). With Nate at Columbia next year and Blair at NYU, this would keep them together and Chuck out of the picture. But anyway. No matter how much Nate wanted them apart, Blair and Chuck always found a way to somehow be together (not like together together, but like scheming together natch). So yeah, Blair and Chuck came up with a plot. They decided to invite Poppy to Lily’s Coop meeting/party. When Poppy arrived and saw Gabriel and Serena together she was beyond livid. Gabriel was her boyfriend and Serena was a boyfriend stealer. Gabriel could forget all his contacts. Poppy was pulling them and Gabriel was going to have to go back to the south and work at daddy’s company. Rough.
With Gabriel seeing his entire business venture crumble, Serena couldn’t not help him out. Here they were in one of the most expensive buildings in the city, surrounded by some of the wealthiest people in the country, certainly people would want to invest. And sure enough, with Gabriel’s charming personality people started lining up to give him money to help African children update their Facebook profiles and send tips to yours truly.
Meanwhile, Vanessa was acting weird around Dan. Avoiding him and only talking to his dad. But Vanessa wanted to tell Dan the truth about why she was being shady. So she decided to play “I never.” And that’s when she admitted that she slept with Chuck Bass. Twice. Dan was a little shocked. Out of all the people in the entire world to sleep with? Chuck freaking Bass? Ugh! After that the game just turned into a drunken mess with Vanessa spilling huge beans. Rufus had recently told her there had been no bites on the Gallery. No one wanted to buy it. This meant Dan would not be able to afford Yale and thus not be able to attend. Sucks!
But have no fear! Rufus Humphrey doesn’t give up so easily. He decided to invest some money with Gabriel. Hopefully this would lead to ca-ching and Dan would soon be heading to New Haven. Although this was not the only thing Rufus was dealing with. He was debating about whether or not to ask Lily to marry him (!!). Rufus couldn’t decide so his kids helped him out. They bought a ring Rufus was seen eying at an antiques store. I guess, this was them giving their OK to Rufus proposing. Looked like the Humphreys were gonna do pretty well for themselves.

Still determined to get to the bottom of what was up with Gabriel, Chuck and Blair decided to go to the one person who would know the truth of what happened the night Gabriel supposedly first met Serena. The one person was more demented than Poppy and Gabriel: Georgina Sparks. Chuck and Blair traveled upstate to where Georgina had been living. It was a church camp. You heard that right. Georgina Sparks was now only into Jesus. She had been praying for God’s forgiveness for all the horrible things she had done. Looked like Georgina was hoping to end up in heaven and not that other place. But before Blair could even talk to Georgina she split. To go be with her actual boyfriend, Nate. This left Chuck with Georgina - aw you know about the history between those two
. When Chuck asked about that night at Butter Georgina told him it was impossible. She and a semi-conscious Serena ended up going back to her hotel early and watching The Hills. They never went to Butter. Thus there was definitely no meeting of Gabriel that night. AHA! He was a lying, cheating, no good fake! Then Georgina made a shocking statement: she had the day off. She should come into the city for a visit. Uh freaking oh!
Poor Serena. She really should have listened to Blair and Chuck. Because they were right in their suspicion with Gabriel. Turned out, he really was a phony. Gabriel was still seeing Poppy (it was like the two were the demonic duo). Gabriel and Poppy learned everyone was on to them. So what did they do? Gabriel decided to flee. With all the money people had given him to invest (including a certain Mr. Humphrey). There was no investment this was just a ploy to make $$. ACK!
OMG! What the hell is everyone gonna do? Serena’s basically brought a criminal into our world. Good job, S. I just hope they can get Gabriel back before he ruins some serious lives. Also, I know Georgina is supposedly good and all now but just the sight of her still brings shivers down my spine. The evil spirit may have gone to Jesus camp but I don’t think she could fully be exorcised. The devil in her must eventually come out. I’ll be praying for a miracle…xoxo Gossip Girl
