Gossip Girl Photos: "Valley Girls"
On May 11, Brittany Snow, Krysten Ritter, Andrew McCarthy and No Doubt take us on a wild flashback ride to the 1980s, where 17-year-old Lily Rhodes gets kicked out of her upscale boarding school and runs away to Los Angeles.
There, Lily (Snow) reconnects with her parents Rick (McCarthy) and Cece (Cynthia Watros of Lost fame), and sister, Carol (Ritter). This episode of Gossip Girl, "Valley Girls," doubles as the debut of the new '80s spinoff from the GG producers.
Meanwhile, back in the present day, Blair and Nate attend the prom together, but the evening doesn't turn out exactly as planned.
As you might expect, Chuck Bass has a little something to do with that.
Serena and Lily don't see eye-to-eye over Serena's recent run-in with the law. We know it involves Gabriel somehow, but what do you suppose she did?
In any case, here are some present-day photos from the May 11 episode (this is the episode after "The Wrath of Con," which airs next Monday, May 4):

Blair: You say I always bet against you. Not this time. I'm all in.

You know what I find irritating? The fact that Chuck says to Nate that he should except Blair for who she is and gives this vibe like he's finally letting go Blair and letting Nate be with her and then in another episode he seems like he's gonna try to get Blair again kinda like in the recent episode or maybe this episode "valley Girls" comming up. It's like dude make up your freaking mind!

I'm not really excited for the spin-off. I was actually thinking that a spinoff about Nate's family could be VERY interesting! The 80's are having a moment right now fashion-wise, but I'm not sure it's going to make it as a show that runs 3 or more years.
And for the record, I don't think Chuck was being cocky... he's always been the person in the group to say what others think but won't say. Sometimes he's uncouth, but it's also refreshing. Every day at work I write emails that I have to totally re-write because I cannot say what I'm really thinking. I actually kindof envy that about Chuck - he can put it out there and deal with the consequences. I'd looove to do that to some of my colleagues, but I need to keep my job!!
