It involved a white dress, some rain And a recently docked aircraft carrier? Okay, let's just hope The last thing she ever prints about me.
Look on the bright side.
Gossip girl does not report on college, So this is your last day to be under her rule.
Okay, can you just Talk about anything.
- Did he say it like - anything but-- "I love her"? "I love her"? "I love her?" I totally set myself up for that one.
B.
, i don't know why you're acting like This is new information.
You know how chuck feels about you.
The problem ??? It's his inability to express them to the right person.
Who cares who he tells if he doesn't tell me? Does he even know that you and nate broke up? Have you not told him? It's not like we stay up at night, Braiding each other's hair and having heart-To-Hearts.
Then why are we still here? We've already paid the check.

And you? Good, good.
I start my internship At the mayor's office next week.
So that's the big news.
As for today, i got my mom and my grandpa To agree to sit together, so that's something.
And things with you and-- Blair? Yeah, it's over.
But it's okay.
It turns out, we just had to go through something to be sure.
Ever since it ended, i can't stop thinking About how horribly i handled everything between us.
So i just wanted to say i'm sorry.
Thanks.
It means a lot.
And thanks for what you did last year.
If i hadn't taken the S.
A.
T.

Y.
U.
Right after i get back From my backpacking trip through europe, of course.

Starting next fall, there'll be peace in the kingdom.
Hey, j.
Wanna throw your hat in the ring? What are you talking about? Queen.
What else is there to talk about? The fact that there's not gonna be a queen next year? What would high school be ???? Bearable? A nice place to spend time? Ladies.
I thought we were matching our headbands under our caps.
What's going on? Your minions were just telling me About the search for the next queen.
They don't get to choose ??? And take off that hideous scarf, penelope.
You can see if from space.
Not so fast, j.
Don't waste your time appealing to blair.
We don't listen to her anymore.
The coronation happens at midnight At nate archibald's party.
Whoever brings us the biggest piece Of untold constance gossip wins, and you've got competition.
The new girl, emma boardman, transferring in next year.
Nice to meet you, little j.
See you at midnight? Unless you want to concede right now oh, and next year, You don't want to take the subway to school.
You're more than welcome to sleep at my house.
It's on park.

At least we have all summer to prepare for hell.
No.
The cycle of abuse must be broken.
The monarchy ends tonight.
Hey.
Why are you sitting here all alone? I'm, uh, i'm waiting to approve a special insert For the program.

Um, but i could be better.
I was wondering if you heard that i i'm i'm so happy high school's over.
Congratulations.
- You, too.
- Everyone, let's line up so we can make our way down, please.
Girls on on side, boys on the other, like we practiced.

How could i have forgotten? We reserved our seats together.
Oh, lily and rufus! - Hi.
- Since we broke matzo together.
- hi.
- Thank you.
- You look wonderful.
Love--It's put color in all of our cheeks.
We were talking on the way over here About what a wonderful couple you two make.
So we decided you should take the plunge like us.
Dating at our age is not enough.
marry before it's too late.
- Uh, we're just enjoying the journey.
- Well, it's not exactly-- Well, apparently at one point we had a destination, But that no longer seems to be the case.
- Subtle.
- Mm, i was going for honest.
Dear friends, colleagues, As we stand here today, We bear witness to a bright new beginning.
Just standing in front of him, I-I couldn't do it.
i can't believe i chickened out.
It's okay, b.
This is the beginning of something new.
Now we can all move on.
the possibilities are endless, After all.
Yes.
To great things.
And so what if i'm not going to yale? You were recently incarcerated, And i'm afraid to talk to chuck Because he might hurt me again.
This is our moment.
Nobody can take that from us.
I urge you to go out into the world ?? ??? Who you have become.
Not so fast.
You're not graduating until i give you my diplomas.
Mine are labels, and labels stick.
Nate archibald-- Class whore.
Dan humphrey-- The ultimate insider.
Chuck bass--Coward.
Blair waldorf--Weakling.
And as for serena van der woodsen, After today, you are officially irrelevant.
- I know.
- O.
M.
G.
Congratulations, everyone.
You deserve it.
Now please join me in welcoming the class of 2009.
Class, please stand.
You were right, b.
Nobody can take this day away from us.
???? Gossip girl has ruined our graduation, and it's only 2:00.
- We have to stop her.
- I don't know.
Messing with gossip girl? think of the consequences.
You can't ask us to jeopardize our futures For your personal vendetta.
Besides, she didn't even say anything about us, - Not even penelope.
- ??? Oh, soup dumplings.
This is not my personal vendetta.
She attacked all of us and was wrong.
- Completely.
- Totally.
Well, i'm gonna go do some damage control just in case, So don't wait for me.
Well, what about you two? Well, of everyone here, You guys probably have the most secrets you're hiding.
- I'll gather intel.
- I'll run some stats.
I'm sorry about before.
About what part exactly? The pre-Graduation squabble Or the fact that you no longer want to marry me? What exactly is our problem anyway? You tried to give me money behind my back when i said no.
We both make mistakes.
But if we can't accept that about each other, - How do we move forward? - I don't know.
- But we can't go back.
- I need to, um, see my guests.
- can we talk? - Always.
Is something wrong? I know you have high aspirations for me, So in the spirit of full disclosure, There's something you need to know, Something that may it may come out.
- I'm intrigued.
- Last summer i had an affair with an older woman.
oh, my boy, welcome to washington.
She was married at the time.
Mm.
Go on.
And she well, she paid me.
Well whatever happens, i'll protect you.
Let's hope it doesn't come out.
Yeah.
Hey.
Have you seen your girlfriend? - You don't know? - What? Blair and i broke up.
this party is not so hot.
There's a killer doughnut place around the corner.
can you guys believe gossip girl? "The--The insider"? What is that? - A really good movie? - That's a tabloid tv show.
Come on.
Seriously, guys.
She can't keep getting away With this.
We all just have to band together and take her down.
Serena, we just graduated.
Gossip girl, high school, All these people backbiting and conniving-- Don't you think we should be moving on with our lives? Well, high school's over, But--But they're still my friends.
You're still my friend.
Yeah.
What, you--You don't think so? No, no, i do, but honestly school's finished, And our parents yeah, that--That doesn't really look great.
Next year we're gonna be in different cities.
And when you think about it, What's really keeping us together? So that's it? You--You get your diploma, and you're just moving on? Well, congratulations, dan.
Have--Have a good life.
So doughnuts? No, let's just go home.
I want to-- I want to get out of this suit.
All right.
The number of posts in the last six months About constance and st.
Jude's is more than double Of the next mentioned school.
Number one on our hit list Would seem to indicate a personal connection.
And i refuse to believe the students at our school are Any worse than those at horace mann or spence.
So gossip girl most likely goes to or went to constance.
Yeah, exactly.
Why else the focus? Well, i would also assume that she is our age.
The blasts all started when we were in the ninth grade.
An upperclassman simply wouldn't care.
So you're saying gossip girl's a senior, like us? Well, if she's a senior, Then--Then that means she's in the room right now.
So who could it be? Rebecca sherman? No, her head's always in a book.
- She's not paying enough attention.
- Okay.
not her either.
Then i submit nelly yuki.
Low profile, Good with computers many grudges, mostly against me.
No, i have been with her way too many times When gossip girl has sent out a blast.
There's no way it's her.
I'm gonna speed this up.
What are you doing? Sending a tip to gossip girl.
- Chuck, get the room quiet for me.
- I'm way ahead of you.
If i could have everyone's attention, please.
We'd like to thank you all for being here today.
jonathan? - what? - gossip girl is a guy? It's him.
Look.
What just happened? What's going on? ?? Wait.
So if you're not gossip girl, You must know who she is.
No.
I just hacked into her server over spring break.
I was bored.
And now we have access to every e-Mail that gets sent to her.
I can't believe she gets All these posts that she doesn't report.
No.
No.
Boring.
Oh.
Apparently you dye your hair.
Uh, yeah, we have this theory That either she can't substantiate some of them or she waits till the perfect ??? - I wish i could be more helpful.
- No, you--You have been so helpful.
Can i actually borrow you for a minute? I'd like you to help me dig deeper.
Nothing in here's good enough to beat the new girl except for this.
No way.
Would you really use that? I-I don't think i can.
If you did, you'd totally win.
Yeah, and then i could abolish the monarchy forever.
You going to nate's party? Uh, no.
I thought vanessa and i would hit a movie instead.
And here we go.
All right, it's your last party of high school.
Now i know you don't love your classmates, But you just shared four years with them.
Honor that.
And i suspect there may be a couple of people That you'd like to stay friends with, or at least one person.
Yeah.
Yeah, serena said kinda the same thing.
So h-How am i gonna get these doses of sage wisdom When i'm living at the dorms at n.
Y.
U.
? Oh, i'll appear to you like obi-Wan.
Now go, young jedi.
- All right.
Bye.
- Have fun.
Um our kids graduated high school today.
And i felt old.
And so i wanted to do something young and crazy, And you're the only one i wanted to do it with.
Um what's in the bag? Something i found in chuck's room.
Well, then i bet it's good.
Mm-Hmm.
Are you dressing for someone? Yes.
Someone i hope is finally ready to love me The way cyrus loves you.
Cyrus told me.
You told chuck how you felt and he ran away.
You seeing him tonight? Yes.
don't let him get away with it.
Oh, hey, drunky.
Don't embarrass yourself.
Um, dan.
You're here.
There's something i have to tell you, And it's only because i'm drunk And i'll probably never see you again.
I, um oh, god.
I have to go.
Was she just about to tell me she loved me? I'm so glad we came.
Blair, i need to talk to you.
Gossip girl knows.
Ominous, but ill-Timed.
You can tell me tomorrow or never.
About new year's? Look, the mean girls want the best piece of gossip In exchange for keys to the kingdom.
I just thought you'd want to know.
If gossip girl were gonna post that information, She would have done it this morning.
And like i said, the mean girls don't control anything.
Blair, wake up.
You're not queen anymore.
You haven't been for a while.
And you're not going to be either If you tell anyone what you know.
I'm sorry i wasted my time on you.
You don't have what it takes.
You never did.
Now if you'll excuse me.
bring me your leader.
it's not midnight.
My gossip's too juicy to wait.
I wanna talk.
I prefer to talk after.
What do you thinkzabout my coat? I like it.
Why? And now? Even better.
And what about my headband? I admire it.
And my stockings? Oh, i adore them.
And my dress? i worship it.
How do you feel about me? Say it.
I what is it now? Oh, not again.
Serena van der woodsen Just couldn't leave well enough alone.
Since she had to find out the truth about me, I'm going to tell you the truth about everyone.
Every gossip bomb i've got is about to drop, And if you've got a problem with that, take it up with her.
Ever wonder why miss carr left town? A little bee told me dan humphrey had sex with her During the school play.
the sparks Between humphrey's sis and nate during a hot photo session.
Thank god it stopped at pg-13, Or someone could have ended up in jail like her brother.
Is that true? What? You were in jail? And as for blair waldorf, say "uncle.
" We hear she kept it in the bass family on new year's.
But rumor has it chuckzspent some time in brooklyn-- Metaphorically speaking,of course.
You slept with jack? You slept with vanessa? ?? Jack, blair? Really? - That's calculating, even for you.
- I was sad, and he triedzto comfort me.
You call that comfort? ??? you didn't do thatzwith the dregs of d.
U.
M.
B.
O.
I'm standing right here.
I can't believe you slept with miss carr.
And you were in jail? I can't believe you let ?? Wh-What was he doing there? No, no, no.
It wasn't as bad as it sounds.
Okay? You guys, just stop it, okay? She's trying to create A divide between us.
This is exactly what she wants.
We can't let that happen.
You want to know something? I don't think It's her that createdzthe divide.
I think it was you.
You're the reason We're on "gossip girl" in the first place.
If it wasn't for you,we'd all be safe.
Okay, that's enough.
We all did ?? You can't blame serenazfor this.
Yes, we can.
She declared war on gossip girl.
You brought this on us.
That's--That's not fair.
Serena was just trying to help everybody.
What do you know ?? Besides, your label was the only one that was true.
You mean what she said about ?? You're friends with nate archibald, You played on the soccer team,you got into yale, You got the lead rolezin the school play, You got published in "the new yorker," You had sex with a teacher.
Plus, you datedzthe most popular girl in school And ignored the rest of us.
No.
I meant them.
You pretend not to be like us,but you are, to the bone.
And you should have known better.
Thank you.
Kudos, s.
Way to go out with a bang.
Now what did you want to tell me before? Oh, it doesn't matter now.
It just happened.
Leave me alone.
You're not mad at me because of that.
Just like i'm not mad at you about vanessa.
Stop telling me what i feel.
We're just doing what we always do--Finding excuses.
Well, i won't do it anymore.
I know you told serena you love me.
Serena heard wrong.
Last year you told nate.
This year you told serena.
You tell everyone but me.
Why can't you tell me? Is gossip girl right about you being a coward? That's not true, and you know it.
Gossip girl can be right ?? But i won't let her be right about me.
I will not be weak anymore.
You can't run.
You have to stay here and hear it this time.
chuck bass i love you.
i love you so much it consumes me.
I love you and i know you love me, too.
Tell me you love me, Then everything we've done-- All the gossip and the lies And the hurt Will have been for something.
Tell me it was for something.
maybe it was.
But it's not anymore.
Oh, my gosh.
Do you remember the casbah? That concert? barely - in the best way.
- Oh, my god.
You covered "how will i know" And you dedicated it to me, And i sat there, trying not to laugh.
I was so in love with you.
What are we doing? Things were so much easier when we were younger.
Unlike our kids, we just jumped into things.
I mean, why can't we just be more like that, Just figure it out as we go along? Maybe this didn't turn out to be The romance we thought it would be when we first met.
Well, it's more like choose your own adventure.
Maybe it just wasn't the right time.
Maybe it never will be.
What if it is? What if we're just too stubborn to see it? I don't want to miss out.
Well, neither do i.
I don't have a ring, So this will have to do.
Rufus, what are you doing? Marry me, lily.
Marry me.
I know that'll make me your, uh, your fifth husband.
So? yes.
Give me your hand.
come here.
Hey.
Don't worry about this.
Okay? Everyone's gonna get over it eventually.
When? Nate, high school is over.
If i don't fix this tonight, Some of these people will never talk to me again.
And--And what happens next year? What, she does this To the next serena and nate and dan and blair? Well, what else can you do? It is too easy for her to sit behind a computer And not face the damage she's done.
??? Wait.
That's not true,is it? No.
But she doesn't know that.
You didn't get to use your gossip.
Well, here's something new-- I told chuck i loved him, again, And he didn't say it backagain.
Blair, i'm not gonna tell people that.
Why not? I'm giving you what you need to be queen.
I don't want to be queen.
I just wanted a chance to have a life in school, And look what it almost made me do.
That's the thing you need to be cold to be queen.
Anne boleyn thought only with her heart, And she got her head chopped off, So her daughter elizabeth made a vow never to marry a man.
She married her country.
Forget boys.
Keep your eye on the prize, jenny humphrey.
You can't make people love you, But you can make them fear you.
For what it's worth, You're my queen.
I choose you.
Thank you.
It's already been over an hour.
The bar's closing soon.
She's gonna come.
I know she is.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait.
Wait.
Dan is gossip girl? Gossip girl? You crazy? Then what are you doing here? I loopt you.
Are you waiting for gossip girl? Yeah.
And i know you don't approve.
I'm gonna go close the tab.
This grudge match thing-- It d--It doesn't seem like you.
What's--What's going on? I don't want to be irrelevant.
Irrelevant? You're serena van der woodsen.
Gossip girl might be right about me, But she's--She's wrong about you.
Without serena van der woodsen, who would i have dreamt about? I might have spent my whole life on the outside If you hadn't let me in which i'm holding against you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, my god.
Oh, that makes sense.
Wait.
They're a team.
Team of what? Wait.
Why are you all here? I got a text saying to meet you.
- Yeah, so did i.
- So did i.
You wanted to meet gossip girl.
Well, look around.
You just did.
I'm nothing without you.
And while most high school friendships fade, It's my hope that what happened today will bond you forever.
Now that all my secrets are out, you have a clean slate until college.
Congratulations.
I'm coming with you.
Drinks on me.
- Yes.
yes.
- Thank you.
I'm sorry about what i said.
You don't have to apologize.
Where's chuck? It's over once and for all.
But i'm gonna be strong.
Still, it doesn't feel right without him here.
You know everyone else is here.
Yeah everyone's here.
Oh, it's beautiful.
It looks so good on you.
Oh! I've dreamed about this for so long.
Do you want to fire it up? Uh, i can't.
Blair and i have a meeting at rouge tomate.
That's cryptic.
Both.
so how are you today? Miserable.
But at least college Will be the fresh start it's supposed to be.
No chuck, no nate.
No anybody, really.
Except gossip girl.
Forget i said that.
It's okay.
I read them, too.
"Spotted--Chuck bass in france.
Chuck bass in germany.
Chuck bass in italy.
" I hope he has so much fun that they have to quarantine him.
Open your present.
What? it's to remind youzof who you are.
I love it.
I am gonna put it up on my wall at brown As soon as i get backzfrom europe.
Oh! Come with me.
I chased a guy for years who wasn't that into me And going to a glorified state school.
My mother married an entertainment lawyer.
So i need to just stop moving And contemplate the failure of my life.
Well, when you're ready to start moving again, You know i'll be here.
Yes, of course i do.
Humphrey, where's your mind? I-I know it sounds crazy, But i actually-- I kind of miss high school.
I miss blair waldorf and her daily ego demolitions, Nelly yuki stealing my lunch, Even chuck bass, who would get so close to talk.
Wow.
You miss chuck bass.
Well, not as much as you probably miss chuck bass.
But yeah, i, uh, i think it's safe to say That the nostalgia's officially begun.
Apparently the upper east side feels the same way about you.
What's up, dan, vanessa? Hey, shouldn't you be getting the deputy mayor Her coffee or something? Well, i think she'd rather i gave her something else.
Yeah, she made a pass at me.
God.
Is she hot? Actually, yeah, she is.
You're both disgusting.
You know, i don't want to be the guy Gossip girl made me out to be.
So what are you gonna do? Go backpacking if you'll have me.
Well, it's too late.
I'm i'm taking someone else.
Oh, really? Who? - It's me.
- Him.
Yeah, we're gonna have a great time, melissa and i.
Oh.
Really? Daniela.
- Close.
- It's vanessa, but thanks for trying.
Please let me go with you.
I'm always doing what everyone else wants me to do.
I want to do something for me.
And we'll just go as friends.
Don't worry.
It won't be anything romantic, unless, You know, we drink a little too much in vienna one night.
How could you say no to that? seriously.
As long as you take off that ridiculous tie So i can maybe try to picture you with a backpack.
- What's wrong with my tie? - Mm.
I need a coffee.
He's always wearing a tie.
So i'm the one who does the good deed, And that guy goes off with the girl? Yeah, it's good ?? Do you, uh, you go here, to n.
Y.
U.

She is nothing if not punctual.
Allow me.
Remember all those secrets jenny amassed When she was trying to protect you, nelly? Well, now the world knows them, too.
So looks like we have a winner.
Now if you don't mind how can you do this? Letting some girl from brooklyn carry on our legacy? Haven't you ever heard of a foreign queen? Besides, her dad is marrying lily bass, So i think that makes her richer than all of you.
Not enough.
Okay, so starting next year, no more headbands, Except for this one.
