Gossip Girl follows the lives of privileged teenagers on the upper east side. Serena Van Der Woodsen is a blonde and beautiful socialite, Everyone knows Serena. Blair Waldorf is Serena's best friend but it's always about Serena not Blair. Nate Archibald i
Bet you thought Russell Thorpe’s Blair-napping would occupy the whole finale, didn’t you? Wrong! Russell is still just as bad at murdering people as he was 20 years ago. Blair’s daring rescue is just the beginning of this twisty, turny season finale. Let’s get to the rest.
Chuck (Ed Westwick) searches frantically for Blair (Leighton Meester), especially once he hears that Nate (Chace Crawford) told Raina (Tika Sumpter) the truth about her father.

Raina tearfully tells her father she forgives him until he lets her have the lighter. The second it’s in her hand, she’s all, “You’re going to jail and I’m never visiting you.” Cold! Raina’s awesome.
