Spoiler: GG - "I keep trying to figure out what was real and what wasn't"

Last night's Gossip Girl episode was pretty great and, as calculated in the New York Magazine Daily Intel post, pretty realistic. Go here for that list. And here are my own pluses and minuses.

- Plus two for Georgina looking at Chuck's flask like it was a snake when he offered her some alcohol.
- Nate tells Blair "Serena needs me" can no longer be an excuse to get out of discussions with him. Plus three because Nate finally realizes how quick Blair is to run off whenever someone calls saying they need her.
- Minus five for Serena, Chuck and Blair even thinking they could get the money back without calling the police. This obviously wasn't something a group of teenagers could handle.
- Serena meets with Gabriel and he tells her Poppy has the money. They then let Gabriel leave. Minus 10 because why is it, after everything else he has done, they still believe and trust him! He is a scam artist. They shouldn't have let him out of their sight.
- Plus two for Dan knowing Serena could not handle the problem herself and that he needed to tell Lily. Serena may be angry, but he did the right thing. (But the way Lily then wanted to handle it leads us to a minus five. I know she has billions of dollars, but how could she just watch Poppy get away with all the money only to move on and work the scheme on another group of people?)
- Plus one for Georgina saying, "Jesus loves me as I am." Too funny.
- Serena calls Blair after Lily finds out about problem and tells Blair to put the plan on hold. Plus two because of course Blair does not put the plan on hold.
- Plus five for Blair making Georgina wear a headband. I thought only Blair could pull them off, but it works on Georgina too.
- Dan answered the phone when the person in charge of the investment called, therefore helping him figure out that something fishy was happening. Minus five because there is no way this would happen twice. Why don't people ever ask for Rufus and just talk to the person who answers.
- Plus four because both Blair and Nate refer to what Chuck needs to do as letting her loose. Only they would see it that way.
- I almost cried when Chuck admitted to Serena that he let Blair go because he loves her and knows he can't make her happy. Plus five because only a high school show with crappy actors could pull off that scene and make an adult emotional.
- Rufus finds the file with the names and amounts of the investors. Minus two because why is it that Lily can't learn to hide things better?
- Plus five for Blair jumping to the conclusion that Serena getting arrested instead of Poppy was all part of Georgia's plan. And that this fight leads to the bitch being back makes the ending complete.
- This one won't get points because it only makes sense, but luckily Nate and Blair both realized moving in together was too grown-up a step for them.
- Plus a million for the phonecall Chuck is making while on the steps of the police station. He is on the phone asking the person on the other end to dig up as much dirt as they can about the precinct Serena is being held in. Only Chuck would try to blackmail the police into releasing Serena.

I had a lot to add this week. Feel free to add your own.
