Good ol' Vanessa once again is all up in Dan's business, this time filming a documentary with him as the subject. She sure does hang out with him a lot, despite not going to his school.
Chuck tells Dan that they're from different worlds, and that Dan, by virtue of his middle-class stature, can't afford (in so many ways) to get suspended or expelled. Chuck, by contrast, can simply have his dad buy his way out of trouble.
For Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) and Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), romance is in the air. Do the stars who play this great couple feel the same way in real life?
Dan Humphrey is down-to-earth and delightfully middle class. Not to mention cute. He's the hero we can all unite behind on Gossip Girl as he romances the lovely Serena. Go Dan!
Despite the efforts of Serena's evil grandmother, Dan sticks it out and wins the affections of Serena at the ball. It helped that Lily stood up for him - and herself - by swallowing her pride and admitting she'd been unfair.
Dan Humphrey talks to Serena and Lily van der Woodsen. It is downright funny to watch him interact with Lily... and it melts the heart when he and Serena are together.
