The synopsis for episode 19 of Gossip Girl season 2, “The Grandfather”, is as follows:
“BLAIR WALDORF EXPLORES HER DARK SIDE Devastated by the recent plot twist in her life, Blair (Leighton Meester) turns her back on her predictable Waldorf existence in favor of a more wild and unpredictable lifestyle, causing Serena (Blake Lively) and Chuck (Ed Westwick) to have serious concerns about their friend. Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) convinces Nate (Chace Crawford) that it may be time to forgive and forget when it comes to his mother’s Kennedyesque family, The Vanderbilts, who abandoned Nate and his mother when they needed them most. In a misguided effort to be completely honest with each other, Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle) agree to share lists of their past lovers. Penn Badgley and Taylor Momsen also star.”
The episode will be aired on March 23. Gossip Girl will resume this coming Monday, March 16, with the 17th episode, “The Age of Dissonance”. By the way, there’s a slight revision of the 17th episode’s synopsis. Here’s the official synopsis form CW:
“THE SENIORS PUT ON A PRODUCTION OF “THE AGE OF INNOCENCE”/SEBASTIAN STAN (“KINGS”) RETURNS AS CARTER BAIZEN — The Constance Billard and St. Jude seniors put on a production of “The Age of Innocence” and find their personal lives mirroring conflicts in the play. Serena (Blake Lively) develops a crush on the play’s director, Julian (guest star Harmon Walsh), and enlists Vanessa’s (Jessica Szohr) knowledge of theater to help her get the otherwise uninterested guy’s attention. Blair (Leighton Meester) receives devastating news about her future that leads her on a witch-hunt for the person responsible. Dan (Penn Badgley) and Rachel (guest star Laura Breckenridge) agree to stay away from each other in the aftermath of being discovered as more than teacher and student, but find it impossible to keep that promise. Chuck (Ed Westwick) enlists help from an unlikely source, his nemesis Carter Baizen (guest star Sebastian Stan). Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen and Matthew Settle also star. “

Anyway, this is People’s take regarding the return of Georgina Sparks:
Spotted: Georgina Sparks talking to Chuck Bass!
Michelle Trachtenberg, who plays the deliciously evil Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl, is returning to the show beginning April 27 for the final four episodes of season 2.
This photo, shot on Feb. 24 with Ed Westwick (who plays bad boy Chuck Bass), was taken on location on New York’s Staten Island.
No word on what exactly this duo are up to, but we bet Georgina has something up her designer sleeve. When we last saw her, she had been shipped off to reform school after drugging and blackmailing her former best friend Serena and trying to steal her boyfriend Dan.
And executive producer Stephanie Savage offered a clue, telling PEOPLE during the show’s summer hiatus, “I don’t think there’s any boot camp in Idaho or anywhere else that will hold Georgina Sparks for long … I don’t think she was very happy with Blair. They have some unfinished business.”
And now she’s with troublemaker Chuck! The Upper East Side’s Queen B better watch out.

To Blair-Chuck shippers, let us rejoice! TV Guide and Michael Ausiello of EW tackled what’s in store for our favorite couple on the show. Here’s TV Guide’s article on Chair:
Supposedly in the next issue of TV guide the following quote by Stephanie Savage
Love, Lust or BustChuck and Blair…
How they met…Poor little rich boy Chuck (Ed Westwick) and his best bud’s ex, Blair (Leighton Meester), bonded over a shared desire to destroy Dan Humphrey before hooking up in the back of a limo- and horrifying their friends.
What’s next…With Chuck consumed by his dead dad’s um, affairs, and Blair obsessed with Yale, the pair are off again. But, not for long. “Chuck realizes what and who is important to him, ” says exec producer Stephanie Savage. ” And, that starts with B and rhymes with eclairs”.
The Verdict… Love, lust and maybe- marriage! But, it’s a marathon not a sprint, warns matchmaker Patti Stanger. “They should keep that love/hate dynamic hot but do some growing up, too. They’ll reconnect after college”.
From the Ausiello Files:
For Girl’s final eight episodes, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) is a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. ”She’s realizing that life is not turning out how she wanted,” says executive producer Stephanie Savage. Blair will seek solace in her old flame Nate (Chace Crawford). Meanwhile, Blair’s frenemy Serena (Blake Lively) will once again hit a rough patch after falling under the spell of a dubious tobacco heir (hints Savage: ”Let’s just say Serena gets a mug shot”). All this, plus college acceptances, prom, and the Constance Billard school play. Adds executive producer Josh Schwartz, ”You have not lived until you’ve seen Nelly Yuki in a fat suit in The Age of Innocence.” No, we have not.
Plot Twists: Romance, Shocking Secret
Last but not least, Leighton, Ed, Chace and Sebastian were spotted watching a Knicks vs Bobcats game in New York. Leighton and her real-life beau (Gossip Girl’s Sebastian Stan) engaged in some mild PDA. In my opinion, I think they’re such a cute couple. I don’t mind them together off-screen, hehe, but never on-screen!
I think Ed Westwick’s shaking hands with SNL alum/30 Rock actor Tracy Morgan:
A fan candid…I just find this pic weird though. I thought the GG actors were sitting at the front…Anyway, it’s still eye-candy. Have a great week ahead everyone!
