With just two episodes to go, Gossip Girl is building toward an epic conclusion.

Will it be an epically tragic one? Next week's promo hints at the possibility ...

Following last night's Thanksgiving episode (see our Gossip Girl review of "It's Really Complicated"), the penultimate chapter awaits, and if this week's events are any indication, a ruthless Bart will stop at nothing.

Meanwhile, Dan and Serena came out of "the best Thanksgiving ever" in a far different place than where they started. His next chapter should be awfully interesting, especially after Nate cleaned his clock.

So what's on tap? According to the CW synopsis for "The Revengers" ...

• After a run-in with a paranoid Bart, Blair grows alarmingly concerned for Chuck’s safety.
• Confident that his father will never hurt him, Chuck makes a potentially life-changing deal.
• Wanting to help Chuck, Blair devises a plan with the help of Serena, Georgina and Sage.
• Nate's  financial dilemma finally lands him in a place that he never thought he would be.

What do you think will happen next week, and how do you think it'll set the sage for the grand finale December 17? Share your comments on last night, the promo above, and all things Gossip Girl with us below!
