When Gossip Girl returns January 16, Chuck will be fighting for his life.

After nearly reuniting Chair for good, last night's crazy episode took a dark turn and gave us the second major Chuck Bass life-or-death cliffhanger in the last year and a half. How many lives does this guy have?

More importantly, will he and Blair survive the crash, and at what cost?

It looks like Blair is awake and relatively unscathed, although the fate of her baby is another story. As for Mr. Bass, he looks like he's in much poorer condition, unresponsive and leading B to pray for his survival.

How do you think this will play out, and what did you think of last night's midseason finale? Read our Gossip Girl review for a discussion of everything that went down this week in "Riding in Town Cars With Boys."
