Gossip Girl is off until February 2, but when it returns a week from Monday with "Carrnal Knowledge," two things are fairly obvious based on the headline:

• Rachel Carr (Laura Breckenridge) is gonna have some knowledged dropped on her after taking on Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester).
• Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) is gonna hit that.

Okay, maybe obvious is the wrong word, but the Gossip Girl episode synopsis we've read suggests that our theories above aren't too far-fetched.
