Gossip Girl ended on a violent, upsetting note last night for Blair, and also for Chuck, whose emotional torment boiled over to a level even he hadn't previously attained.

Next week's episode, "Shattered Bass," picks up where "The Princesses and the Frog" left off, which is not in a good place for Charles. It's only going to get worse, too.

When Desmond Harrington returns as Uncle Jack and joins forces with Russell Thorpe, an embattled Chuck may be driven over the edge by his two greatest enemies.

Scroll through the photos from next week's show below. Promos to follow.
