I think that baby is Chuck's from the promo,so score! This episode was ok. I strangely found Dan and Serena good. Who knew?
Chuck growing is always a plus but I really just want to see Chuck and Blair together on this show.
I liked Eleanor, not Blair so much.

I agree with you. Dan and Serena's scenes and Blair and Eleanor's were the best of the night. But Blake and Penn were both really great in the D/S scenes.

@Anna, I have to agree that the Beatrice character reminded me more of Blair than Blair in this episode. It was weird and fantastic.

Usually Chuck is my favorite thing about any Gossip Girl episode, but wow, Dan and Serena's scene was so heartbreaking and powerful. I've never been as impressed by Blake Lively as I was tonight.
Blair/Eleanor and Chuck/Evil Therapist were both in second place, but DS, man. I think I'm back on that train.
Chuck and Blair have 4 season of history and a deep bond, and the producers can't forget it and pretend not happened. GG is nothing without CHair. The episodes in this season were so boring, especially Blois's parts. DAN and BLAIR make a nonsense couple, without history to support and make it happen for real. Blair is so boring with her fairy tale. We want the old bLAIR and her dark prince back. They belong together with their baby.

This episode was so boring, I could barely finish it. At least the end had promise!
Blair and Louis are just so damn boring together. And the saddest thing is, it isn't her first healthy relationship because 1. It's loveless and 2. He doesn't trust her, and honestly he has reason not to!
And you know what's going to happen with the psychologist. Louis is going to try to get the psychologist to spill on whatever Chuck has said, so that way he knows the baby isn't his. Then Blair will fire off an, "you don't trust me" speech and the whole thing will be blamed on him. Or (what I'm hoping) Louis will shack up with the psychologist, knock HER up, and then he has produced an heir to the throne causing Blair to dump his royal buttocks. I just don't want the breakup to be completely Blair's fault; seeing as I'm sick of innocent Louis.

Louis set up the whole shrink thing I'm assuming. I think he set it up so Chuck would meet her in the first place. I don't think Gossip Girl was the first he heard about it.
When he found the paternity test envelope, that's when he called her for something else. But I think she was already working with Louis.

Since Dan wrote the book over several years starting his freshman year of highschool, I don't think Serena was jealous because of "feelings" for Blair in the book. Just about the size of Blair's role in the book and the way she was portrayed versus Serena's.
@Pat I have to disagree with you about Derena. They have been developing for a long time, starting witht the kiss in the Season 3 finale. They Dan got back with Vanessa, only because of Nate and Juliet's manipulation and Serena's flakiness. But then later on it was about to be rekindled before Juliet messed them up by drugging Serena.
Dan was the only one to believe in Serena after the overdose. They were about to get back together then. The only reason they didn't is because they talked and decided they had to be sure this time, because it would be there last chance. Then Ben and came along and diverted that.
I mean, the whole reason Dan and Blair started to hang out so much was because the people they really wanted to b

I thought the episode was disappointing and boring. I could barely keep my attention. Such bland plots. They are unrealistic, but if it is going to be unrealistic make them outrageous! Derena scenes were not bad, its good to see them again. Louis, I like how he stood up for B this episode, and he looked rather handsome tonight. Blair and Eleanor scene was the best, obviously. The show has a lot to pick up with.

It would be brilliant that Dianna was the real mother of Chuck

Some things didn't add up to me:
1) I get that Louis found out Chuck was seeing a shrink via gossip girl on Blairs laptop but how did he already have her # in his phone?
2) I also get that Louis didn't need to open the envelope to know Blair has cheated on him but he didn't even open the envelope? Isn't he curious to know if it's his? And wouldn't he automatically assume it's Dan she cheated with after last weeks episode?
3) Diana got intimidated by gossip girl who for all she knows is sitting on her bed in her parents house surrounded by hello kitty plush toys? Even for a second?
4) Was that a picture of Diana she was burning? Did she have a relationship with Bart?
5) Mozel tov to Louis for entering puberty! His other testical has finally desended! Loved it when he finally stood up to his mom!
So my guess is that Louis is going to get Chucks shrink to convince him that Blairs not right for him... or she'll brainwash him if they want to get all soapy (no pun intended

The producers said that the loving triangle is going to be between Blair, Louis and Chuck so they stop insisting with Blair and Dan
In an instant i forgot all about Dair and im back on Derena. To be honest they were the reason i watched gossip girl all first season long. they were the best couple on the show.

I really didn't enjoy this episode due to the royal family and the rest of the guest stars practically dominating the episode.
Chuck and Serena's characters were the bright spots this episode. Chuck continues to make those baby steps that will led him back to Blair so I was happy with that. Serena, my heart broke for her in her scenes with Dan. You can see how hurt she was and it was just so nice to see Blake in those scenes. As a former Derena shipper I was actually emotionally invested.
I found Blair rather annoying at times and that's really the best way to describe her this episode. She was literally going to sign her baby away. I hate what this royal, fairytale princess stuff is ruining my favorite character.Please go back to the real Blair, writers.I'm glad Eleanor woke her up but Blair is just getting annoying.
Dan,oh, I just can't say anything nice about him treating Serena the way he has. I'm glad he gave Serena the book rights for the movie but still.

The photo Diane burned was a photo of herself. She must have been involved with Bart.

Beautiful Blair and Eleanor scene. I assumed Blair would lose the baby but now I'm not so sure. I definitely think they are setting Chuck up so he can be a good father. I liked that therapist shooting him down. I'm not a Derena fan but their scenes really touched me. I hope Dan gets over his Blair thing and Serena starts to grow up and not be such a flake. I have no clue what to make of the picture of Diana that Bart Bass had in his file. So weird.

Derena scenes were very touching. Not sure where this is going, but it's definitely intriguing. Eleanor was amazing tonight and Chuck is finally getting the help he needs. The episode in itself was not that great but there were few touching moments.

So many things were way too predictable. Can you predict a happy ending with a false pretense...

As a Chair fan and a Derena fan I was disappointed. I really hate how both Serena and Dan will act like episodes at time the other doesn't exist and how they are over each other in, in one episode they are in love again. I wish they would put more work into developing that relationship. Why I think people ship Chair and Dair so hard is that both those relationships seem to develop over time, you have to admit that no matter how much you hate the other. Derena doesn't have that so I am often indifferent to them. I wish Dair had played out better than it had if they are really ended that relationship so strangely.
On a side note, I now find Penn's comments about Leighton being his favorite to work with more telling. I always assumed that he and Blake just hadn't worked with each other much in a long while but now I think his comments are kinda jerky if they are reviving Derena.

Either way its drama and more CB so I likes!! I totally believe the baby is Chuck's though!!
And I liked DS, they are a staple of the show as well. So go them!
The episode overall was so boring though. I love Chuck acknowledging he needs help and I love SB and liked the DS scenes, but the royals are overstaying their welcome completely and I need more Chuck and Chuck and Blair overall! Hopefully that is coming soon!

I mean he might have just seen the baby was his. I'm sure he'd still be pretty pissed that she had to get a paternity test in the first place. I mean...that envelope let Louis know that Blair can't be trusted. He might still be with her because of the baby, but now he knows she lied and that she had been with Chuck not too long ago....
Serena: Congratulations, you've officially joined the dark side.
