I think Vanessa will tell Chuck and somehow Chuck will use Louis to break Dair up.
Just a thought... Don't know how else the prince will return out of the blue. I think Chuck has a better chance breaking up Blair & the prince than breaking up two intellectual people who finally found solace in each others' arms.

This coming from a former 100% chair lover... dair is exquisite!!.. and up until a month ago, i was totally against it. But i have to give credit to the writers for the dialogue between these two, and also the actors for the delivery and timing of their lines.. I used to think chuck and blair banter was the best, but really, dan and blair are quickly taking over.. I used to want Chuck for Blair a the end, but Chucks character has totally been ruined by the writers, and it might be too late to bring the season 1/2 chuck back. I think it has been made clear that chuck does not bring the best person out in Blair. And it's refreshing to see Blair be happy and mature for once. Kudos to the writers for making a believer out of this skeptic. But now that you have , please don't let it be a tease, and keep them together !!!!

Brilliant episode!!Loved every bit of it except for that one line- like you getting traded for a hotel- so now everyone knows and is okay with it??!?!
I am a Chair shipper and knowing that Chuck wants Blair when he feels low is good but somehow not good enuf. I think the writers have ensured in season 4 that Chair would never be acceptable with the way Chuck treats Blair. I am happy for Blair that Dan at least cares for her though I am no Dair shipper- its nice to see Blair being treated as she deserves. And why does Chuck only think of Blair when he needs her- what abt when she feels low?
Anyway what is this maria's spoilers- please let me know

Dair all the way!! I'm so sick of Blair pining over Chuck when he clearly moved on (did we forget about Eva, already?). He's not good enough for her. He whored her out to his uncle for a hotel. I'm sorry, but no matter how good Chair was in Season 1... there's no way it can ever be back to that again after everything that has happened. There is nothing healthy or realistic about Blair being with Chuck.
I think Dan compliments Blair so well- they're on the same level intellectually and there's more substance to them then just a physical attraction.
Praying that the writers don't screw this up, but sadly... they probably will.
Okay, the next episode should be mind-boggling. I like Chair, but Dair is pretty damn good! Can't wait.

i'm very scared about lily.. I think she's going to the jail and disappear for a long time ( like in season 3) or she break up with rufus because of her ex-husband (AGAIN) or rufus break up with her because of new big mystery or her lies... so. she is in terrible situation. but in the other hand - i hope that chuck help her, everybody will love each other and everything is going fine. yes, this is utopia , but I love happy end

I've said this a million times but I like Dan and Blair as friends. I don't understand why this show needs to have everyone hook-up! If they all had babies, their babies would hook-up and it would be an incestuous love triangle. I think Blair needs a friend that she doesn't hook-up with and I was loving the friend chemistry that Dan and Blair had. Ugh.
I'll ALWAYS be a Chair fan, first and foremost. Nothing even comes close to the rare chemistry that these two actors have. I guess Chair is endgame and I'll have to deal with it. But congrats Dair fans, you have your moment, for now.
This was a great episode and certainly set up for the return of GG in April. I really love Dair and I love how epically normal they are. They have fights, conversations, and on occasion ditch each other because of what they are becoming. I think this all makes perfect sense. However, what does not make sense is this whole BS storyline that the affidavit has. It has more of a storyline than Rufus does and that's really kind of sad. Chuck, Vanessa, and Chuck's mysterious cohort on the phone are trying to sabotage Dair...-yawn-
It does, however, make sense that the entire VDW clan is coming in and "circling the wagons" because shit's about to go down. I'm sure any claims of Lily's ill parenting will come up and the family needs to be together in order to make sure that things go the right way and the worst mother in the history of the world is not locked away from seeing her children because she was "trying to protect her family." I have to say this...if Lily wasn't ar

really, Bart Bass having something to do with the death of Raina's mother.. that was the big secret?? since I don't like or care at all about the Raina/Thorpe/Chuck storyline that was well, not interesting at all. The same goes for Serena btw, really is it that hard to not fall for every guy that you lay eyes on?
On a better note, I love the Blair/Dan story and kiss. It is actually the only reason why I still watch.. Yay Dair!
This was definitely a solid episode! I was upset at Russell for telling Chuck about the fire at first, until it started leading him to Blair! I see some gossip girl drama coming up and I can't wait for April 18th!

So, the VDW clan is 'circling the wagons' as Will put it. What else does Lily have to hide? Cece is flying in; we know Lily's sister is coming soon, as well. Maybe it turns out that it was actually Lily that was responsible for Mrs. Thorpe being at that building, that day, and she is--purposely or accidently--the one responsible for her death.
Maybe we find out that Serena and/or Eric is not her child but actually her sister's with Will?
There's definitely something else going on that we are not yet privy to...
I read, today, that Georgina is returning, as well. Wonder how she will play into the whole couple quadrangle/pentagon/whatever...
Vanessa--two episodes with her, and both have her trying to take down the group--and failing. It's time for her to go. Her appearances on this show are completely irrelevant and unwanted.

I think it's cute that episode 4x18 should land on 4/18.
I hope Dair is happening, I just don't want that cute couple fall for wrong persons again. No more hurt, no more betrayal and pain. At least for once, I really want GG to show a normal couple in this show.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: Dan and Blair make for very watchable and captivating television. They make the show interesting and revitalize new life into GG that had fallen to complacency and stagnated to barely watchable.
Dan and Blair? Four seasons into the making! Four years of intrigue, and fighting, and chemistry that has that classic GG-payoff: cliffhanger. This is what makes for dynamic interaction, and no one, together, is perhaps more entertainingly dynamic than that of the witty repertoire of Dan-Blair vernacular.
Yes, yes, those that vehemently stronghold the sacred unions of Dan/Serena and Chuck/Blair are equally vehement in their opposition of a Dan and Blair union, and perhaps in the long run, their favored unions are destined and meant to be. However, time and again has shown us that such unions are catastrophic and simply cannot co-exist.. at least for now. All four require time apart to firmly place their footing in the world and within one another

I love GG. I did not see the Dan and Blair thing really happening. I figured when he suggested a kiss that Blair would knock him upside the head. As far as the length of the kiss, they did a freeze frame because it leaves options. Either that awkward kiss turns into something romantic or they both pull away like it was gross. I personally think that the one kiss will turn into many more. Serena isn't going to walk in on them. She has her constant drama gong on. I swear the girl creates drama. Honestly, the Serena character annoys me. It has actually cause me to not like Blake Lively. Chuck is the one looking for Blair so he is going to walk in on Dan and Blair kissing. He is going to throw a fit and Blair is going to let him have it because she knows he isn't good for her. They were a fun couple to watch and I am sure that they would rule the world later on in their lives but after Winter break when Serena was all in her Dan drama, Blair told her that she shouldn't pass up

Ugh. Vanessa. The mere mention of her name brings up such disgust.
It seems Vanessa enjoys her time as the outsider and continues cry out victim yet surreptitiously scheme to further her own agenda. Really Vanessa? You're the victim? You're the sad little outsider who never gets accepted?
Perhaps if she put in the effort of actually "being" in the group than feeling like "an outsider pushing her way in" all while cavorting with frenemy a-like, perhaps then she could earn her place. But by selling people out to cover her own hide, especially the sister of the man she so desperately covets, perhaps logical processes somehow fail in this complicated mess she so willingly puts herself in.
Vanessa: she wasn't missed the four or five consecutive episode her face did not grace the screen. So either she makes herself actually redeemable or return to obscurity.

Serena: the eternal flip-flopper. At least Chuck has cause to rightfully pursue Blair once the news of the "ever life-shattering kiss" hits the online waves of Gossip Girl, but for Serena to pursue Dan after all this time?
Seriously S? Seriously?
I think Serena above all people would have the understanding that Dan needs to see other people, perhaps a Waldorf to gain perspective. Dan has always been a viable candidate, and so some reason, Serena finds herself "testing" Dan over and over and over and over again like some rag doll, or better aptly put, a doormat. Given this confession by S herself, the Dan/Serena relationship is equated to two words that so captures the essence of Daniel Humphrey in his relationship with Serena: emotionally battered. Because like emotionally battered individuals, they keep coming back for more.
Glutton for punishment? I think so, so hopefully, Serena, is for once not indulged into her own world, and lets Dan find sanctuary, at least for a little

Nate's a slimball. Where is his loyalty? He didn't even look a tad bit remorseful when Chuck found out. He takes in the cold comfort that Raina wanted nothing to do with Chuck; what happened to principle? What happened to honor?
Is Nathaniel Archibald completely devoid of all such things? I'm glad that Chuck focused on the plan in motion despite the metaphoric blade in his shoulder.
Yes, perhaps Chuck did not so deeply feel the sting of young Archer's blade pressed upon back, but that does not make Nate any better. Even when Raina gave him cause to pursue their relationship on better terms, Nate has a sorry ass demeanor when his feigned revelation is forced by Chuck's hand.
Really Nate? Really? Slimball.
