Gossip Girl here, your one and only source...
...into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.
Georgina, where are you?
You can tell Jesus that the bitch is back.
- Emma. - Got a credit card, fake ID.
I want Bacardi and a boy.
That beautiful dinner. You were gonna propose, weren't you?
I don't know where we stand now.
- Tell me if what you feel for me is real. - It's just a game.
- Chuck, why did you just do that? - Because I love her.
- Blair won. - Who even voted for her?
Me. A hundred and fifty times.
- That was really sweet. - I wanted to make sure...
...she had the perfect night. - Where's the prom king?
- We broke up. - But everything was so perfect.
Turns out fairy tales end when they do for a reason.
Where has she been?
And who am I?
That's one secret I'll never tell.
You know you love me. X O X O...
...Gossip Girl.
Like everything on the Upper East Side...
...high school graduation is done a little differently.
Who needs pomp and circumstance when you have paparazzi?
Ever since Gossip Girl broke my arrest, it's everywhere. Eric found it in Pravda.
You're famous because you got arrested.
- Of course this happened to you. - I just can't wait for this day to be over.
End of high school is the end of me on "Gossip Girl."
She plagued you more than anyone. You were her first blast.
Ninth grade, if I remember correctly? It involved a white dress, rain...
...and a recently docked aircraft carrier.
Let's hope my mug shot is the last thing she ever prints about me.
On the bright side, Gossip Girl does not report on college...
...so this is your last day to be under her rule.
Can you take my mind off of me? Talk about anything.
- Did he say it like, "I love her"? - Anything but--
- "I love her. I love her?" - I totally set myself up for that one.
I don't know why you act like this is new information.
You know how Chuck feels.
The problem isn't his feelings, 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 braiding each other's hair, having heart-to-hearts.
Then why are we still here? We already paid the check.
- Excuse me, Serena. This way! - Serena? Serena?
- Excuse me. - Could you get out of the way?
- Thank you. - One more shot!
We'll meet afterwards for the party.
- Will do. - Good luck up there, son.
- I'm proud of you. - Thanks.
It's like getting a smile from the president.
- And how are you? - I'm good, and you?
Good. Start my internship in 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. Turns out we just had to go through something to be sure.
Since it ended, I keep thinking about how horribly I handled things 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 SATs...
...I'd never be going to NYU.
Right after I get back...
...from my backpacking trek through Europe, of course.
Look at us, so civilized.
- Hey, stop by my party tonight. - Party? What party?
After-grad party.
Figured I'd do something to commemorate my time here.
So I hope to see you there. Both of you.
- Hey, is that a program? - Yeah.
And smile. Today's the first day of the rest of your life.
Way ahead of you.
This graduation is a celebration for us too. No more mean girls.
We have suffered under their dictatorship for too long.
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?
The fact that there's no queen next year?
What's high school without hierarchy?
Bearable? A nice place to spend time?
Ladies, I thought we were matching our headbands under our caps?
What's going on?
Your minions told me about choosing the next queen.
They don't get to choose the next queen. I do.
And take off that hideous scarf, Penelope.
You can see it 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'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 wanna concede now.
And next year, you don't wanna take the subway to school.
You're more than welcome to sleep at my house. It's on Park.
Well, so much for that.
At least we have all summer to prepare for hell.
No. This cycle of abuse must be broken.
The monarchy ends tonight.
Hey, why are you sitting here all alone?
I'm waiting to approve a special insert for the program. Turns out my name...
...was left off the list of graduates. Fate sure knows how to run with a bit.
- Well, at least you're special. - Mr. Humphrey.
Oh, thank you.
"We apologize for the omission of Daniel Humphrey...
...from the graduation program. He is indeed graduating.
Congratulations, Don."
It's perfect.
Hi.
- I haven't seen you around. - Have you been looking?
- How are you? - I'm fine.
No, I'm great.
But I could be better.
I was wondering if you'd heard that l--
I'm so happy high school's over.
- Congratulations. - You too.
Everyone, let's line up so we can make our way down.
Girls on one side, boys on the other, like we practiced
Well, good luck up there.
How could I have forgotten? We reserved our seats together.
Lily and Rufus.
- We haven't seen you... - Hi.
...since we all broke matzo together. - Hi.
- You look wonderful. - Thank you.
Love has put color in all of our cheeks.
We were talking on the way over 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.
- We're just enjoying the journey. - Well, it's not--
Well, apparently at one point, we had a destination...
...but that no longer seems to be the case.
- Subtle. - 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 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.
Possibilities are endless, after all.
Yes. To great things.
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.
This is our moment.
Nobody can take that from us.
I urge you to go out into the world...
...and show them who you have become.
Not so fast. You're not graduating until I give you my diplomas.
Mine are labels and labels stick.
Class Whore.
The Ultimate Insider.
Coward.
Weakling.
And as for Serena van der Woodsen, after today...
...you are officially irrelevant.
- OMG. - I know.
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 is going down.
Gossip Girl has already ruined 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 future for your personal vendetta.
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 damage control just in case. So don't wait for me.
Well, what about you two?
Well, of everyone here, you 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 pregraduation 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.
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 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. - Hm.
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 Insider"? What is that?
- Tabloid TV show? - A good movie?
Come on, seriously. She can't keep getting away with this.
We all have to band together and take her down.
Serena, we just graduated.
Gossip Girl, high school, backbiting. Don't you think we should move on?
High school's over, but they're still my friends.
You're still my friend.
Well, yeah.
- What, you don't think so? - No. No, I do.
But honestly...
...school's finished. Our parents, you know, that doesn't look great.
Next year, we're gonna be in different cities. When you think about it...
...what's really keeping us together?
So that's it? You get your diploma and you're just moving on?
Well, congratulations, Dan. Have a good life.
So, doughnuts?
No, let's just go home. I wanna get out of this suit.
All right.
The number of posts in the last six months...
...about Constance and St. Jude's is double the next-mentioned school.
Number one on her hit list would seem to indicate a personal connection.
I refuse to believe students at our school are worse than Horace Mann or Spence.
So Gossip Girl most likely goes to or went to Constance.
Exactly. Why else the focus?
Well, you 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.
If she's a senior, then that means she's in the room right now.
So who could it be?
Rebecca? Her head's always in a book. She's not paying attention.
- Okay. - Not her either.
Then I submit Nelly Yuki.
Low profile, good with computers.
Many grudges, mostly against me.
No. I've been with her way too many times when Gossip Girl 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. - 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 happened? What's going on?
Tell him who you are.
Wait, 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.
We have access to every e-mail that is sent to her.
I can't believe she gets all these posts that she doesn't report.
No. No. Boring. Apparently, you dye your hair.
Yeah, we have this theory that either she can't substantiate some of them--
Or she waits till the perfect moment for maximum damage.
- I wish I could be more helpful. - No, 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 is good enough to beat the new girl.
Except for this.
No way. Would you really use that?
- I don't think I can. - If you did, you'd totally win.
Yeah. And I could abolish the monarchy forever.
You going to Nate's party?
I thought Vanessa and I would hit a movie instead.
And here we go.
All right, it's your last party of high school.
I know you don't love your classmates, but you shared four years. Honor that.
I suspect there may be a couple of people you'd like to stay friends with.
At least one person.
Yeah. Yeah, Serena said kind of the same thing.
How do I get these doses of sage wisdom when I'm living in the dorms at NYU?
Well, I'll appear to you like Obi-Wan.
Now go, young Jedi.
- Have fun. - All right. Bye.
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.
- What's in the bag? - Something I found in Chuck's room.
- Well, then I bet it's good. - Mm-hm.
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.
Hey, watch it.
Oh, hey, drunky.
Don't embarrass yourself.
Dan, you're here.
There's something I have to tell you and it's only because I'm drunk. Shh.
And I'll probably never see you again. L--
Oh, God. I have to go.
- Was she 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.
The mean girls want the best gossip in exchange for keys to the kingdom.
I just thought you'd wanna know.
If Gossip Girl were gonna post that, 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 think about 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? - 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?
Dan Humphrey had sex with her during the 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 Chuck spent some time in Brooklyn...
...metaphorically speaking, of course.
- You slept with Jack? - You slept with Vanessa?
Serena van der Woodsen, here's looking at you.
Jack, Blair? Really?
- That's calculating. Even for you. - I was sad and he tried to comfort me.
You call that comfort? More like collusion.
You did it with the dregs of DUMBO.
I'm standing right here.
You slept with Miss Carr? And you were in jail?
You let some guy take photos of you? What was he doing there?
No, it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
You guys, stop it. She's trying to create a divide between us.
This is what she wants. We can't let that happen.
You know something? I don't think she created the 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 be safe. - Okay, that's enough.
We all did what she said we did. You can't blame Serena.
Yes, we can. She declared war on Gossip Girl.
You brought this on us.
That's not fair, Serena was trying to help.
What do you know? Besides, your label was the only one that was true.
You mean what she said about "The Insider"? Are you crazy?
You're friends with Nate Archibald. You played soccer. You got into Yale.
Got the lead in the school play. Got published in The New Yorker.
- You had sex with a teacher. - Plus, you dated the most popular girl...
...and ignored the rest of us.
Them. 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. What did you wanna tell me before?
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.
- 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 about you all she wants.
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.
That 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 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.
It was 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 wanna 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 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? I mean, high school is over. If I don't fix this tonight...
...some of these people will never talk to me.
And what happens next year? What, she does this 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 back, again.
- Blair, I'm not gonna tell people that. - I'm giving you what you need...
...to be queen. - Don't wanna be queen.
I just wanted a chance to have a life in school.
- Look what it almost made me do. - That's the thing.
You need to be cool to be queen.
Anne Boleyn thought only with her heart. 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.
Bar's closing soon.
She's gonna come, I know she is.
Whoa, wait. Dan is Gossip Girl?
Gossip Girl? You crazy?
- Dan, 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 doesn't seem like you.
What's going on?
- I don't wanna be irrelevant. - Irrelevant?
You're Serena van der Woodsen.
Gossip Girl might be right about me, but she's wrong about you.
Without Serena, 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. - A 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.
Oh, my God.
- Drinks on me. - Yes. Thank you.
- Wonderful. - Thank you. 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's here.
Yeah.
Everyone's here.
- Oh, it's beautiful. - It looks so good on you.
I've dreamed about this for so long.
- Do you wanna fire it up? - 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.
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 you of who you are. - I love it.
I'm gonna put it up on my wall at Brown as soon as I get back from Europe.
Come with me.
I chased a guy for years who wasn't that into me.
And I'm 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.
When you're ready to start moving, you know I'll be here.
Yes, of course I do.
Humphrey. Where's your mind?
You know, I know it sounds crazy, but I actually kind of miss high school.
I miss Blair Waldorf and her daily ego demolitions...
...Nelly Yuki stealing my lunch.
Even Chuck Bass, who'd get so close to talk.
Wow, you miss Chuck Bass.
Well, not as much as you probably miss Chuck Bass.
But, yeah, I think it's safe to say that the nostalgia has officially begun.
Apparently, the Upper East Side feels the same about you.
What's up, Dan? Vanessa.
Shouldn't you be giving the deputy mayor her coffee?
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 wanna 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?
- That'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.
I wanna do something for me. We'll go as friends. It won't be romantic.
Unless 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 picture you with a backpack.
- What's wrong with my tie? - 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 to be that guy. Do you go to NYU?
- I'm starting in the fall. - I just transferred from BU. Scott.
I'm Dan. Nice to meet you, Scott. Maybe I'll see you around.
We got this for you.
- I'll take that, thank you. - What are you doing here?
What I should have done months ago.
In five seconds, your phones are going to go off with the latest Gossip Girl blast.
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.
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?
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.
- Thanks, you can keep the change. - Oh, big spender.
Hey, Mom. It's really cool here. I've already met some great people.
Yeah.
All right, all right, you were right about Portland.
I think I'm gonna love it.
All right. Listen, I gotta go, all right? I'll call you soon.
I'm done for the day, if you guys wanna see a movie.
Let's do it.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hello?
Check your bank account. Your money's back.
It's Georgina.
Georgina, where are you? What happened to Poppy?
You don't have to worry about her ever again.
You got your money, that's all that matters.
- Now you can go to Yale. - Well, I'm going to NYU now.
Oh, great. Then I'll see you next year.
Wait, what does that mean?
Wait-- Hello? Georgina?
What?
- Georgina Sparks? - Yes, that's right.
I recently enrolled in Gallatin. Here's my paperwork and my check.
Thank you, Ms. Sparks.
- Is there anything else? - I'd like to request a roommate.
Blair Waldorf.
She's my best friend, and I just can't wait to live with her.
Serena.
Carter. Aren't you supposed to be in Dubai?
You know you can't lose me for long. Where you headed?
Everywhere.
I have something you might wanna know before you go.
- I hope it doesn't have to do with Blair. - It has to do with you.
About Santorini, what you were looking for.
While I was on the trip you so graciously gave me...
...I found it again.
Only it's not in Santorini anymore, it's in Fiji.
At least he was last week.
You found my father?
Get in. Let's go.
Why aren't you in Europe?
I was in Paris...
...but only to get your favorite macaroons from Pierre Hermé.
And Germany?
To pick up your favorite Falke stockings.
You know how I adore them.
- What are you doing here, then? - You were right.
I was a coward, running away again.
But everywhere I went...
...you caught up with me.
So I had to come back.
I wanna believe you.
But I can't.
- You've hurt me too many times. - You can believe me this time.
That's it?
I love you too.
But can you say it twice?
No, I'm serious, say it twice.
I love you.
I love you. There's three. Four.
I love you.
XOXO, Gossip Girl.
