Favourite round table so far!
What a hilarious episode, and it really sort of closed the two first episodes together and got us ready for what's to come.
I do think the baby is Louis, but that won't make much difference...
And I CANNOT wait for next week's episode! Dan's my favourite character and having a whole episode dedicated of seeing the UES through his words... with Dair sex on top? and a kiss that may either be fact or fiction? Time machine, anyone?

I agree with all the best quotes- the kneepads and muppet hair ones being my faves.
I guess the season's been decent so far, at least as decent as can be expected given that in 3 episodes, we've gotten one throwaway Blair/Serena scene and only one Blair/Chuck scene... and as a result, Dan's been EVERYWHERE. But I still think it's an improvement on some of what they put out late in S4, so I'm not complaining too much.
Blair did open the envelope, as others have pointed out, but the shady way she hid it at the end suggests it probably doesn't say Louis. Personally, I'm okay with Blair being the one screwing up CB for once, I just hope she doesn't take this too far.
Chuck and Dan can be very funny together, but it still feels contrived to have them actually not hate each other. It's actually similar to what they did to Dan/Blair, who were also funnier when they were adversaries instead of friends. But as long as Chuck continued to pretty much own his ass with hilarious one-lin

I seriously think Chuck is the father, Blair's expression at the end when she hides the envelope says it all. I hope Chuck is any ways. I'm still wanting Chuck and Blair to get back together. Anyways I've got to say this season has took off on a brilliant start (except for the whole Charlie/Ivy reappearance)I can't wait until Monday!

Yup, she opened the results. 33:58 (iTunes time, no commercials)she is looking at the unfolded paper.

There is no way in hell that this Louis guy impregnated our Blair when a Basstard was also involved! Still I don't think she even opened it! Chuck with Monkey in his bed was heartbreaking. This dog is beyond adorable an he is perfect for Chuck. Well done Dan=)
My favourite qoute without a doubt was from Derota when she told Serena that "the best thing about pregancy is knowing who father is" :D This must have been so weird considering Serena didn't know the circumstances^^

The TV must have cut away or I must have blinked and missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. The second half of that question remains a mystery however!

The DAIR scenes are amazing. I am really excited to hear about the content of the book. I think it could potentially be one of the funniest episodes for Gossip Girl in a LONG time. I still really do not like the Nate storyline, but hopefully, it will get exciting. I happen to really like Dan's character this season. I like that he has something else going on other than loving a girl (even though he obviously likes Blair.) I hope the baby is Louis' baby, but I will be more shocked if Blair was telling the truth about the paternity. I am ready to see Chuck moving on to other women... Can we bring that girl from Europe back that was really sweet?
I like both Blair & Dorota and Dan & Chuck. The banter is really funny this season.

I think Blair is lying, she saved the test results and the odd expressions on her face when she told Chuck remind me of two other times , one when she told Chuck she didnt love him anymore and the other when Blair told Chuck she felt the same way about marcus as she did with nate! She is so guilty!

blair did open the envelope we saw her do it after dan walked away but i agree that chuck has to be the father why else would she look at the envelope that way? but she did open the envelope i checked to make sure
i am loving the friendships between dan and blair and dan and chuck its making me wonder whether dan will be the one to bring chuck and blair back together
blair, chuck and dan are the best part of this season of gossip girl loving dans developing friendships with them the three of them are brilliant to watch

What was your favorite quote from the episode? "There’s nothing more boring than a sense of morality, Humphrey." This is GG after all. Scandalous is delicious!
Is it just me or is this season actually pretty good so far?! Agreed! This episode got me so excited for the pregnancy storyline which I was already loving so far. Chuck Bass needs to get involved in the Blair/Louis snoozefest, and bring some needed drama!
Has Blair even opened the envelope yet, and what do you think it actually says? I think it says Chuck and she lied about it. Her face when she saw the dog was screaming regret. That Chair scene was so powerful and Chuck crying at the end was truly heart-breaking.
More hilarious friendship: I love Dorota/Blair but I'm loving so much the Duck bromance. Who thought these 2 would connect so well!
Hardest to believe: Blair's DNA test. It's too early. Where did she took the samples. Whatever, it's GG!!
What kind of scandals will Nate and Diana uncover? Ivy

Best thing about the episode? Hands down the CB scene and Chuck's crying at the end. Just heart-wrenching. I've got to agree with you guys that Blair/Dorota wins, though, just because I don't like anything with DHumps in it. :P

@editor Steve did your local stations cut out the scene where Blaire opened and read the letter? It was right after Dan walked away to go deal with Noah. Dan had just said if you can face your prolbems than I can face mine and then Blair opened the letter, read it, and then there was this "look" in her eye and then it went straight to commercial. I'm guessing your local station cut to commercial too soon. When we came back she was walking in to chuck's. I thought it was kind of weird in your review but now you have posed this question on the round table. She read it for sure

I think Chuck is definitely lying and the Queen B is indeed lying.
I loved the Chuck and Blair scene! Beautiful and heartbreaking. It's what the season needed, I agree with the panel there.
Blair/Dorota FTW. I just can't take Dan all over the place and it's why I'm not thrilled about the book. I guess it's a way to throw the DB fans a "bone" but meh, don't care.

This episode was a miss in more ways than one. And we all know the one major way it misses was revealing that Chuck is NOT the father. NOOOOO!!!!!!
Okay we have Lily and Rufrus, not so interesting. I’m just glad we are done with the whole house arrest story because it was pointless.
So is Ivy really a good or bad person? She’s manipulating Carroll because she wants a real family? This girl is confusing and boring. Her and Serena are like dumb and dummier and are just a waste of time together.
And did everyone else notice that Serena totally did not reappear for like the last 20 minutes of the episode? What’s up with that?
Dan is so weird. He doesn’t want the book to be published but then takes the glory for himself. Make up your mind. I hope all the people who actually thought Dan could be the father can actually see how ridiculous it sounds. It’s somewhat pathetic that the only for Dan and Blair to be more is through his imagination and his alone.
Nate you are so den

I have to say that Blair is Dorota is still in the lead but Duck is quickly catching up. It is harder for me to believe that they still do not know that Ivy/Charlie is not their family. I don't like Ivy and probably never will and the only thing exciting about that is when they bring the real Charlie back. I then hope that they will go NJBC on Ivy for lying to them.
Serena: Congratulations, you've officially joined the dark side.
