Rufus: Need a hand with that? 

Lily: Rufus, what are you doing here? I thought we had security. 

Rufus: You want them to throw me out? 

Lily: Well, I'd like the option, considering how much I'm paying them. 

Rufus: So you want me to leave? 

Lily: I didn't say that. 

Rufus: Do you want me to call off this wedding? And if you so much as nod yes, I will go out there and I will tell your fiancé and your guests they have go home. 

Lily: I didn't say that either. 

Rufus: We can figure this out.

Georgina: "Hey, it's Sarah, you know what to do." 

Dan: Voice mail. 

Blair: Okay, like we talked about. 

Dan: Hey, hey, it's me. D. Um, after you left, Serena and I got in a huge fight, and... And she said all this crazy stuff. I honestly don't know what to believe, but... But what I do know is I want to see you. So, uh, call me.

Blair: Excellent work. She's totally calling back. 

Dan: This is so weird. I don't normally do plots against people. 

Blair: Don't worry, virgin. I'll talk you through it. Right on schedule. 

Dan: Hey. 

Georgina: Hey. I just got your message. 

Dan: Oh, good, good. So... Sorry about this morning with Serena. That was very awkward, to say the least. Georgina: Yeah, a little bit.

Dan: Last night really changed things for me. Serena and I left things kind of uncertain, so I... I think I wanna end it. I know I do. Will you meet me? 

Georgina: Our spot in the Park by the pond? 

Dan: See you there.

Georgina: We're turning around. One last battle, and the war is won. 

Blair: Humphrey, you are a born liar.

Dan: Thanks, I think. 

Blair: All that stuff about last night was genius. Anything you wanna tell me? 

Dan: Uh, no. Like you said, just born to lie.

Lily: Bart, darling. What is the big mystery? What are we doing here? 

Bart: This is the first building I ever bought. 

Lily: Well, it's quite impressive. You had a good eye even... Even back then. 

Bart: Sometimes I like to come here, just to... Feel how it felt the first time I saw it. 

Lily: Well, there is a comfort in revisiting the things that we loved ... when we were young. 

Bart: But the truth is, I'm not that young man anymore. I think maybe I've outgrown this place, and holding onto it is keeping me from moving forward with what's most important to me now. What do you think I should do? 

Lily: I think you should let it go.

Bart: I agree. Now can you do the same for me?

Chuck: Ow! 

Blair: Who? What? When? Where? Why? 

Chuck: We were up late plotting against Georgina. We must have dozed off. 

Blair: And you were on the floor. 

Chuck: Didn't want to hurt my back. 

Blair: Why? It's not like you ever do anything athletic. 

Chuck: Well, that's not entirely true, now is it? 

Blair: Fine. Nothing that requires you removing your scarf. 

Chuck: That was one time, it was chilly. 

Blair: Enough about the past. Before you landed in my bed, we actually landed on a good idea.

Chuck: Well, I trust you can take it from here. I have a best man speech to write, and no time to write it. 

Blair: Don't worry. I can be bitch enough for both of us. 

Chuck: I still got the scars on my back to prove it. You know, they say if you love something, you should set it free... 

Blair: Ugh. They say when you hate something, you should slam the door in its face. 

Chuck: I love it when you talk dirty, Blair...

Serena: Hey, Dan. I've been trying to reach you all night. I know it's early -- or late, if you haven't slept, like me -- but um, I'm pretty sure after this message I will have officially filled your voice mail, so uh... I'm, I'm coming over. 

…

Serena: Hey. Mm. I'm sorry. I know it's early, but I couldn't sleep. I had to see you, and you're here, which means you slept here, which is a relief, but not a surprise... 

Georgina: Serena... 

Serena: -- But that is surprising. 

Gossip Girl: They say love conquers all, but maybe love never met Georgina Sparks. Poor Humphrey. Looks like our resident moral compass isn't such a straight arrow after all.

Georgina: Serena, I'm sorry. The way Dan was talking, I thought it was over... 

Serena: Over? 

Dan: Maybe not exactly "over," but... 

Georgina: I should go. This is not what I had planned. 

Serena: No, I think it's exactly what you had planned. 

Dan: Serena, this is not Sarah's fault.

Serena: No, it's Georgina's! 

Dan: Whatever.

Serena: So where are we? 

Lily: It's the Fairman's house. This is where the boy who died grew up, and his parents are expecting you. 

Serena: Mom, I can't go in there.

Lily: Sweetie... If I've learned anything in life, it is that sometimes things get in your path, and you have a choice. You can either smash right into them, or you can adjust and move around, but you have to do one or the other in order to move forward. 

Serena: How can I do this?

Vanessa: Do you have something you want to say to me? 

Georgina: Not that I know of... 

Vanessa: You sure about that, Georgina? My friend says Serena told him some story about you, and he's on his way to fill me in. Unless you want to do that first? 

Georgina: I don't know what you're talking about. 

Vanessa: I'm not a big fan of liars, and neither is Dan. I'm giving you a chance to explain yourself here. 

Dan: Where's Sarah going? 

Vanessa: I don't know who she is. Nate just called me and said her name is Georgina. 

Dan: That's what that girl... That's what that girl back there called her. Why would she lie about her name? 

Vanessa: I think there's some other stuff, too... 

Roadie: Vanessa, Rufus can't find the set list. Do you know where it is? 

Vanessa: I taped it into the top of his Gibson case, uh... I'll get it. This will just take two minutes, just don't go anywhere. Stay right here. I'll be right back.

Serena: I'm ... I'm sorry, mom. And you look beautiful. I hope you don't mind I asked Blair to come tonight... 

Lily: What happened to you last night? Why didn't you come home? Why was Dan looking for you all morning? And why did I get a call informing me that you were on drugs? 

Serena: I wasn't on drugs... 

Lily: Don't lie to me. I saw that little home movie that you and your friends made.

Serena: You... You watched that? 

Lily: Well, only part of it. I stopped when that guy had his tongue down your throat. But I can pretty much guess how it ends. 

Serena: No, it... It was just a joke! We were kidding, it's not what it looked like... 

Lily: You know what? You are out of control. I always knew you had a wild side, but how can you look at yourself? What have you become? I thought we were past all of this, Serena. I thought you were doing so well. I have nothing left but to send you to reformatory school. What do you think about that?

Serena: I'm not talking to anyone. 

Dan: Then what are they doing here, while... While I get a call from a bartender who says you left a bar at two in morning with a bunch of guys? What guys, Serena? Who... Who were they? 

Serena: I don't know.

Dan: Did something happen last night? 

Serena: Please don't... 

Dan: Is that... Is that what you're so afraid to tell me? That you cheated on me? Did you cheat on me last night? All I need is a yes or a no, did you sleep with someone else?

Lily: Excuse me? 

RS: Rufus Humphrey, lead singer of Lincoln Hawk? Or... Was this before or after...? 

Lily: Oh, well, I simply don't feel comfortable discussing anything other than my work. 

RS: I was talking about your work. Why'd you give up photography? Was it too hard to continue shooting after you had broken his heart?

Next Episode: s01e17 - Women On The Verge:
Serena falls back into her old habits of drinking and drugs. She eventually reveals to Blair true reason why she left Manhattan: to avoid being implicated in an accidental drug overdose of a school friend in which Georgina was also present. Blair, Nate, and Chuck are forced to team up to try to help Serena deal with this situation. Unfortunately, Serena is too ashamed at herself to share the truth with Dan about her mistake, and therefore he naturally assumes the worse about his girlfriend. Lily discovers the blackmail videotape Georgina made showing her and Serena that night with their victim. Being who Lily is, she too jumps to the wrong conclusion about Serena and it takes a little intervention from Blair to save her friend from being emotionally torn apart for good. Blair also discovers from Vanessa that Georgina, under her alias 'Sara', is still hounding them by pretending to be their friends, and Georgina takes advantage of Dan's alienation with Serena to make the moves on him. Meanwhile, Rufus is excited when his band is invited to perform at a Rolling Stones sponsored concert. But Lily is the last person on Earth he expects to see at the performance, especially since her wedding rehearsal dinner is on the same night.

Dan: Yes, because she wanted to listen to them, and she had good advice, too. 

Serena: Look at me. I love you, okay? You just have to take my word for it. Do not trust her.
