After a series of events that shocked us even by Gossip Girl standards, Jenny Humphrey has left town and will be MIA when the show returns to the CW September 13.

While this undoubtedly means more ridiculous Taylor Momsen outfits and quotes, we're going to miss her - J is a total lightning rod, and one of our favorite characters.

When will she be back, and under what circumstances?

What we're hearing, from unconfirmed reports mind you, is that Jenny will make a one-episode comeback in sixth episode of the season, scheduled for mid-October.

She'll then leave again, but will return for good in the second half of the season. Assuming this is true, what do you suppose brings her back briefly - and then for good?

We eagerly await J's return to the UES, and all the drama it causes.
