Shame on you if you didn’t watch Gossip Girl’s season finale. The crazy drama is at its best with Lily, Rufus, and Eric being the only stable characters. Dorota has her baby, and that’s where this Gossip Girl episode’s joy comes to a screeching halt.

Still not over Nate, Jenny takes a picture of Dan and Serena in bed together. She outs her own brother to Gossip Girl.

It gets better! Little J loses the big V to Chuck, only to see him get back with Blair hours later. A girl can only take so much in her young life. Luckily, she can count on her big brother. Dan sucker punches Chuck so hard I literally cringed.

Just as I’d convinced myself that Georgina was in the episode for no real reason, she pops up knocked up. Dan can’t catch a break.

Chuck and Blair are over. Serena and Nate are over. Vanessa and Dan should be over. Serena and Blair go to Paris, and Jenny decides to live with her mom.

In the most wicked ending ever, Chuck gets shot and is lying alone in the street bleeding.

Gossip Girl music from this week’s episode has six dead-on artists contributing Gossip Girl songs. The five artists and songs that made the cut are Thao’s “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me,” Oliver North Boy Choir’s “Teenage Lust,” Crooked Fingers’ “Under Pressure,” Eastern Conference Champions’ “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” Lights On’s “Dead Man’s Party,” and Serena Ryder’s “The Funeral.”

Gossip Girl fans, it was hard not gagging at Serena’s childish adoration of William. She’s also giving Rufus massive doses of attitude since her talk with Holland. Rufus calls Holland up to clear his name, but she announces to everyone that she and Rufus slept together.

Speaking of doses, Chuck uses his clout to dig up information about Lily’s pills. He discovers they're not for treating lymphoma. He and Jenny team up to go find Blair, who happens to be on a date with the hottie from the loft party. Blair refuses to help, only to have her date interrupted again by Nate and Dan. They all join together to bring the conniving doctor and his lying, Rufus-obsessed accomplice down.

Couple swap! Dan helps Serena confront her father, leaving Jenny and Nate to themselves. Vanessa has only been gone for one episode. Basically, Dan and Serena help the man that tried to replace Rufus and was unnecessarily medicating Lily.

Blair finally gets to finish her date, but Chuck gives her a final love ultimatum beforehand. We’ll have to watch Gossip Girl next week to see if they get back together.

If you were left craving more music from Gossip Girl after last week, I’m sorry to say that the Gossip Girl music from this episode is just as limited. Gossip Girl songs from this episode include the Gui Borratto remix of Massive Attack’s “Paradise Circus,” Zebra’s “Beach House,” Massive Attack’s “Paradise Circus” featuring Hope Sandoval, and Pricilla Renea’s “Mr. Workplace.”

The treachery is thick in this week’s Gossip Girl episode. Then again, that’s why we watch Gossip Girl.

Dan and Vanessa are still tense. While Dan is setting boundaries over who gets to claim which artistic endeavors, he’s caught unaware when Vanessa is offered a three-month internship to Haiti.

William invites everyone to the doctors without borders gala. In his acceptance speech, he proclaims his love for his family and his regret for leaving them. He obviously has no regard for Rufus and Lily admits that his speech may have crossed the line.

Serena is trying to redraw borders of her own. With some new intel courtesy of their downstairs neighbor, she is armed and ready to take down Rufus. I’m sorry. I must have missed the episode when Serena became the healthy relationship expert.

Jenny is confronted by a disgruntled former client. The pills she bought from Jenny weren’t oxycodon like they were labeled. Jenny does a quick Internet search and believes she has found evidence further suggesting that Lily’s medication isn’t on the up and up.

Blair is kicking herself for not applying to Columbia. Imagine her surprise when she finds out someone already applied for her. Score one for Chuck.

Gossip Girl music from this week’s episode is limited with only five artists contributing Gossip Girl songs. The five artists and songs that made the cut are Scanners’ “Salvation,” Neon Trees’ “Animal,” Last Gang’s “Forever Young,” We Are Scientists’ “Let’s See It,” and Cold War Kids’ “Audience.”

I could not wait to watch Gossip Girl this week and see how Lily explains away her lies. Lily, Serena, and William are back in town. If you’re not following, William is Serena’s dad! After all her globe trotting, he comes to New York. William has been and will continue treating Lily. Rufus is understandably jealous. William may not be as noble as he seems when we see him make a shady phone call to someone about Lily’s prescription.

Blair throws a party to prove she’s back on the dating scene. No one shows up as Chuck has blackballed her from the dating scene. Blair proves that she is the bigger person when she refuses to resort to games at a party to make him jealous. Way to go, Blair!

The truth is out! Jenny is finally exposed to Nate, but not how she intends. Serena shows up, full of truth and insight, and Jenny is left as an afterthought. Willa exposes Dan’s feelings about Vanessa taking his spot in the writing program.

Music from Gossip Girl is equally distributed this week, with each artist only contributing one song to this Gossip Girl episode. This week’s Gossip Girl songs are Bear’s “Two Weeks Grizzly,” Telegraph Canyon’s “Lost Faith,” Two Hours Traffic’s “Put Your Hands Up,” Holly Miranda’s “No One Just Is,” White Rabbits’ “Percussion Gun,” Wait Think Fast’s “Been This Way Too Long,” Discovery’s “Slang Tang,” Monsters are Waiting’s “Sleep Tight,” and The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band’s “Dim The Lights.”

If you didn’t watch Gossip Girl last week, you missed the source of the relationship drama in this episode. There is no balance of relationship bliss versus relationship horror.

In the only blissful relationship, Dorota and Vanya are getting married before her parents come to town. Seeing an opportunity to tug at Blair’s heart, Chuck volunteers to pay for their traditional Polish wedding. If that wasn’t enough, he also jumps at Dorota’s request that he and Blair be the happy couple that walks her down the aisle.

Chuck’s antics, coupled with Dan’s attempt at a pep talk, help Blair realize that she and Chuck are two-of-a-kind. Unfortunately, she also realizes she hates who she has become since being with him. The game is over for Chuck. Blair quits.

Serena and Nate rapidly decline from their power couple status when Serena starts sneaking around with Carter. Serena’s sneakiness must be genetic. After kicking Carter to the curb, Serena goes searching for her father but finds her mother instead. Serena may have found Lily, but Rufus is looking for her. Sadly, he may not like what he finds.

Amazing Gossip Girl songs from this episode include The Champs’ “Midnighter,” Santina’s “Full Moon Kiss,” The Dead Weather’s “Rocking Horse,” The Big Pink’s “Velvet,” and Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson’s “The Sound.” The only thing better than music from Gossip Girl is Gossip Girl music from Gossip Girl cast members. Leighton Meester’s “Your Love is a Drug” is also featured in this Gossip Girl episode.

If you didn’t watch Gossip Girl last week, you missed when Blair verbally waged war against Chuck’s Uncle Jack. She obviously learned nothing from Elizabeth about loving Bass men. Blair finds herself caught between two. Jack admits he doesn’t want money, but there is something he has his eye on—better yet, someone.

The games begin when Serena throws Nate a surprise birthday party. Jenny seizes the opportunity and raises Serena’s suspicions in the process. Jenny’s attempt to turn the birthday game of assassin into a game of romance is an epic fail.

From epic fail to epic fall, Eric is back and literally falls into a hottie. Way to make a comeback, kid. Dan and Vanessa aren’t nearly as interesting. They have a small spat about little white lies and script reading. In more interesting news, Dorota gets engaged!

Known for his twisted schemes, Chuck may have schemed Blair out of his life and proved that his Uncle Jack may actually be the better man after all. As for Blair, she ends up being the sacrificial lamb in a sexy new dress.

Amazing Gossip Girl music from this episode includes: Fabolous’ “Everything, Everyday, Everywhere” featuring Keri Hilson, Uffie’s “ Pop the Glock,” The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir’s “This World,” The Burned’s “Make Believe,” The Shoes’ “Bored,” and Bertie Blackman’s “Heart.” Hollywood Holt makes an appearance in two Gossip Girl songs. “Caked Up” by Hot Pink Delorean ft. Hollywood Holt and Hollywood Holt’s “Brains!” are featured in Gossip Girl episode 17.

Frenemy Agnes works with Jenny at Eleanor's fashion show. Jenny tries a truce, but friends don't drug friends. That's definitely frenemy territory.

Parading around in enemy territory, Elizabeth evicts Chuck. Uncle Jack has the upper hand, and that hand has a vice grip on Elizabeth's heart. Chuck has faith in his mother until the end, and that's what it seems to be for the Chuck Bass empire.

Thanks to Serena, Vanessa tries adding spice to her relationship. Jenny grows tired of Nate being her knight in shining armor without reaping any benefits. This princess may have plans of dethroning Serena from her relationship.

Bombing in the friend department, Blair asks Brandice and her cohorts to pose as her friends at the fashion show. Blair offers a great line to a disapproving Serena: "Prostitutes are people too."

Gossip Girl blasts are mentioned in this episode. Maybe that means that they will return in upcoming GG episodes. Several Columbia students approach Blair after the show admitting they thought she was dead since there hadn't been GG blasts about her.

Very amazing and hot Gossip Girl music from this episode includes: Far East Movement's "Animal," Florence + The Machine's "Between Two Lungs," Danica's "Try to Find," Hollywood Holt's "Hollywood," Vampire Weekend's "Run, " Megha Man's "Go Hard or Go Home," and Scarlett Johansson's "Falling Down." Deadmau5 amazes us with four Gossip Girl songs in a single episode. Deadmau5's hits from this Gossip Girl episode include "Not Exactly," "FML," "Hi Friend," and "I Remember" featuring Kaskade.

Sex issues abound in this Gossip Girl episode. You know, I actually miss the Gossip Girl blasts about them. At any rate, not having them hasn’t made watching Gossip Girl any less juicy.

Lily and Rufus try patching things up but are constantly interrupted. Lily’s marital salvaging efforts seem pointless when at the end of the day she still can’t be honest!

Serena and Nate come up for air to save Jenny from Damien. Damien is surprisingly faithful. Nate apologizes to Serena for snitching on Jenny but digs himself into a deeper hole.

Also coming up for air are Dan and Vanessa. Dan is acting super paranoid about their friends with benefits status. Understandably annoyed, Vanessa turns the heat up and sets flames to Dan’s friend zones.

Jenny halfheartedly protects her virginity from Damien. It’s a good thing that Little J holds out because Damien checks out—literally. How dare she value her virginity!

Chuck’s life is full of a different kind of action. He’s getting sued for sexual harassment. Major breakthrough for Chuck, he asks his mom to help by taking over the hotel. It’s too bad he’s run straight into the arms of the enemy. Evelyn is in cahoots with Uncle Jack!

Gossip Girl music from this episode includes: Rihanna’s “Rockstar 101” featuring Slash, Air’s “So Light is Her Footfall,” Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes’ “I’ve Had The Time of My Life,” OneRepublic’s “Good Life,” Fast Movement’s “Party (DJ Wool Remix),” Kid A’s “Trampled Youth,” and The National’s “Gospel.”

Isn’t it great watching Gossip Girl and all of its relationship drama? Gossip Girl episode “The Lady Vanished,” is full of relationship awkwardness, miscommunication, and vexation.

Did I forget to mention relationship ecstasy? Serena and Nate bring heat to the kitchen. Blair and Chuck sound like close competition—that is until Chuck calls Nate asking him to scoop his phone out of his room before Blair snoops.

Chuck needs Blair’s help in the end because guess who he finally realizes is his mother? Elizabeth! Overall, this best friend foursome tracks down Elizabeth, discovers her motives, knocks some sense into her. Things end pretty well with Chuck buying his mother a drink. Smiles all around.

In other news, Dan and Vanessa weirdness returns. Though they initially try to blame it on the alcohol, these two frauds finally fess up and hook up. Finally, right?

Jenny wants some heat of her own, but Lily and Rufus try to quickly extinguish those furious flames, appropriately so since they lack their own. Little J has some grownup feelings for Damien, and she’s willing to put up a fight. Flight is more like it.

Amazing Gossip Girl music from this episode includes: Far East Movement’s “She’s on the Move,” Florence + The Machine‘s “Dog Days Are Over,” and One Republic’s “Secrets.” Julian Casablancas amazes us with four Gossip Girl songs in a single episode. Casablancas’ hits from this Gossip Girl episode include “Left and Right in the Dark,” “Out of the Blue,” “Ludlow Street,” and “11th Dimension.”

Oh Gossip Girl, how much I’ve missed you! Remember that international drug dealer Little J was carelessly skipping around town with? Well, things are slowly heating up in their business relationship. Lily is a bit concerned and discusses an open-door policy with Jenny when boys are in her room.

Lily should be that worried about her own relationship. Rufus is avoiding her like the plague. When he finally does come home, he’s not happy when Lily fesses up to kissing her ex-hubby while she and Rufus were still engaged. Lucky for Rufus, Apartment 24A is waiting with open arms.

On Gossip Girl’s steamier side, Nate and Serena move from warm to hot to cold in one day’s time. Serena asks Damien to the French Ambassador’s Dinner after feeling played when Nate reiterates that they should slow down. Jenny comes to Nate’s rescue as his dinner date. Their biggest mistake was taking relationship advice from Dan, who is still pining over Vanessa, and Blair, who still plays twisted games with Chuck.

Speaking of Chuck, he is still stuck on the woman he saw at his father’s grave. After some investigative work, he finds her address and comes clean with Blair about believing Elizabeth is really is mother. Unfortunately for Chuck, Elizabeth adamantly denies being or knowing his mom. After Blair calls Elizabeth on her crap, Elizabeth calls Chuck from a blocked number. Naturally, he misses the call.

Hot Gossip Girl music from this episode includes: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ " Janglin,” The Breakups’ “Go Away,” The Big Pink’s “At War With The Sun,” and Seawolf’s “Spirit Horse.” The music from Gossip Girl doesn’t stop there because Monsters of Folk’s “Map of the World,” The XX’s “Crystalized,” and Athlete’s “Wild Wolves” are also featured Gossip Girl songs in this episode.
