Promotional photos from next week's controversial episode of Gossip Girl aren't that controversial. There are no threesome shots (probably for the best considering the recent criticism the show has gotten for it), but they do raise some questions:

• What is S doing with Congressman-elect Tripp?
• Is this J's big moment as queen of the ball?
• Does V ever wash her hair?

As hinted in the sneak previews we posted earlier, the Cotillion ball is in effect and much more. Click to enlarge pictures from the episode below and comment away:
