Below are pictures from next week's Gossip Girl episode, "The Empire Strikes Jack," in which Chuck once again finds himself once again at odds with his uncle, Jack Bass, while Eleanor recruits Blair and puts her in charge of making sure her fashion show is a success.

Also, Rufus attempts to get Jenny back on track by volunteering to have her help with Eleanor’s fashion show, but things go awry when Jenny learns Agnes is one of the models.

Looks like last night's "The Sixteen Year Old Virgin" (see review and Round Table) merely set the table for this drama. Click to enlarge the pics below and share your comments!
