Serena continues to be infuriating – acting overly sexual around her biological father and never giving anyone a chance to finish a sentence before she turns around to walk out of the room.  The show, however, once it stopped portraying Rufus as a bumbling idiot, and once it brought back the darker sides of Blair, Serena and Chuck, took a turn for the better.

These past two episodes have been full of emotion, deceit, and desire. Appearances of new characters are not longer trivial and obnoxious (like the god awful episodes with Chuck’s mom). When every character has a believable stake in the situation, the plot seems so much more dramatic.

Enhancing this drama is the gossip girl soundtrack turned ominous. You can hear the intensity in all three of these selections. The intensity that would be present when two lovers are torn apart by betrayal, when a family is being split up by deceit, and when a teen feels like her world is falling apart.
