Remember the scene we showed you photos from yesterday, showing Lily and Rufus apparently having a genuine, joyous reunion with long-lost son Scott?

Or is Scott (Chris Riggi) actually a lying weasel trying to come between Rufus and Lily (Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford) and make off with the latter's money?

Here's what E! Online has to say about the scene:

Believe it or not, the heartwarming reunion scene looks to be genuine! Sources say the kids (Dan, Serena, Jenny and Eric) learn about the half brother early in the season, but in episode five, Rufus and Lily finally meet their long-lost love child.

Turns out Scott is up to nothing more scandalous than his quest to find his birth parents after all. He's a good guy, it turns out. At least that's the word.

Interestingly, Scott's main story arc is the first five episodes of Gossip Girl Season 3, but he departs again after the big reunion. More likely than not, however, the character will recur again at some point later in the season in some capacity.

Are you happy that Scott is a good guy? Do you believe this is just a smoke screen? What do you predict will happen with him on Gossip Girl?
