The best episode in 2011 so far!
1 March 2011 | by (Greece) – See all my reviews

Well i was quite disappointed with the second part of season 4 because the fist part was really good and i had more expectations!Except the storyline with Dan and Blair everything else wasn't really interesting...i mean who cares about Eric's feelings...But this episode changed this!Lily is in dangerous and is facing jail,Chuck learns a dark secret about his father and Ben who i didn't really like him as like many people finally he leaves....But the best part was Blair and Dan, they finally admit that they have chemistry and the end is breathtaking!well its actually a bit weird to see them together but because it's so wrong in so many ways it makes it even better.....now we will wait until April..!
