Chuck & Blair fought Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber for the breakup of the year this week, while Dan fooled Serena and Nate struggled to keep his head above water.
The Nov. 26 episode of Gossip Girl kicked off with Bart rummaging through Chuck’s (Ed Westwick) apartment, looking for the evidence that could expose his illegal oil dealings — but none other than Ivy Dickens (Kaylee DeFer) appeared to let the Bass men know she has the secret documents, and there was only one way they were going to get them: trade in Lily (Kelly Rutherford), leaving her with no one!

‘Gossip Girl’ Ends Perfectly: Serena & Blair Marry Their Soul Mates

Even if it’s a dream sequence — or we’re totally being fooled — the last two days have given all ‘Gossip Girl’ fans hope that Serena and Blair end up with their rightful soul mates. Don’t YOU agree?
Gossip Girl started with lonely boy looking in from the outside to the unobtainable and unreachable world known as the Upper East Side. But as seasons passed, that lonely boy, Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), eventually ended up winning the heart of the girl who ruled it all, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). And as earth-shattering as that strange relationship was, it appears that Dan and Blair finally end up with who they were meant to be with all along: Serena (Blake Lively) and Chuck (Ed Westwick), respectively. I truly couldn’t be happier!
