You often find, what you least expect is right in front of you. Waiting to change everything forever. Whether you want to or not. XOXO — Gossip Girl.

Gossip Girl

Nothing stays hidden for long.

Gossip Girl

Seamstress: Do they know?
Blair: Know what?
Seamstress: How far along you are? I'd say six weeks. He sent me your measurements.

The thing about expectations is most of the time, someone else sets them for you. Yet you feel like they've been there all along. And you can't wait to live up to them. But just because you know what's expected of you doesn't mean you still can't surprise everyone.

Dan: So now I just have to make sure the book that chapter comes from never sees the light of day.
Rufus: There's a whole book?

Dan: Hey, what's going on?
Rufus: Lily has another meeting with the decorator. She's redecorated so many times that it looks exactly the same.

Well well well, Upper East Siders, I got my answer after all. And it turns out the only thing expanding at the Waldorf residence is the help. Yet all this talk about expecting has got me thinking about expectations.

Gossip Girl

Blair: What? Oh. No. Is it my hair?
Eleanor: I didn't want to say anything in front of Louis but I found something hidden in the pantry. Is this why you have been acting so strange about Louis? Is there something you need to tell me?

Serena: Have you ever thought about writing a book?
Chuck: People like me don't write books, they're written about.

Chuck: Serena, you accepted responsibility without hesitation for maybe the first time in your life. And Nate, you had more fun not being you than you've had actually being you. Which means you now know you need to change.
Serena: Is it just me, or is what he saying actually making sense?
Nate: Maybe we're not awake yet.

Gossip Girl: Lonely Boy learning three words, eight letters don't come out right when no one wants to hear them.
Blair: Come on, Louis. Let's go. I'm done here.

Blair: I don't understand, are you following me now?
Louis: No Blair.
Blair: Actually, it's fine if you are. Because I can do this in person then.
Dan: Louis is not here for you.
Blair: He's not? What the hell's going on?
Dan: Louis didn't meet you tonight because he was helping me.

Dan: It's Blair's Save the Date.
Rufus: You're not happy. You guys are still friends, right?
Dan: Yeah. Friends. I wonder if she invited Chuck.
Rufus: If he's anywhere that FedEx can reach.

Dan: Dad! What are you doing here? I thought you'd still be in London helping Jenny set up St. Martin's.
Rufus: She and Eric kicked me out when I didn't know who Sierra Burton was, so I came back here early and thought I'd spend some time with you.
