Plot By Numbers Cons Bibles And Lilies On Gossip Girl

Plot By Numbers Cons Bibles And Lilies On Gossip Girl
Is it just me or has Chitchat Daughter become one of the highest illogical stage set ever?

From way back night's event ("The Anger of Con") featured the band attempting to enact comeback against Gabriel Serrano (Armie Beat) and Poppy Lifton (Tamara Feldman) in the wake of the duo engineered a scheme to bamboozle investors--including, of flood, Rufus who incautiously invested Dan's college savings--out of their coinage by using a Madoff-style Ponzi scheme. Serena seems to think that she can expend this imbroglio on her own relatively than natural ability in the standardize or FBI, a hunch echoed by Lily but for very peculiar reasons.

Which brings me to my tale thought: in what world is it less of a dishonor to view your child dishonestly arrested for theft than for her to be linked to a high society robber, recurring still she had no collusion in any wrongdoing? I'm not slightly committed what the hell Lily was thinking having Serena arrested (in an energy to magnetism her from the playing field at the Russian Tea Rope), choice than it's a handy patch point to declare her own once, which will be played out in illustrious 1980s tints in adjoining week's flashback event (itself a backdoor sample for a Lily-centric daylight hours stage set).

With conviction, recurring a spun-up Lily would see that landing Serena on the cheekiness contact of every tabloid text isn't stringently the best wad for this situation? I understand that she wants to teach her child a lesson but, by claiming to want to keep Serena's quality well-preserved, doesn't this relatively unhappy the purpose? A few, the charges can be dropped subsequent and Serena has time to composed off point Lily handles the "bounce back" of the stolen reserves but really?

Meanwhile, the band turns for help to Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg), the now transformed bad girl who now only has eyes for Jesus and whose dealing is fairly at odds with her former self. I can withstand that Georgina would turn to religious studies for savior in the wake of all of the nasty pack she did but the writers were lagging with her new brand name, turn her into a devout and muted choirgirl that is unswervingly hostile to what we've seen of her so far and isn't at all earned. (A better and luxury believable pile would view been to let Georgina keep her bitchy specialization but steep it with religious studies, making her the indication girl for a dutiful attitude.)

I can withstand that Georgina would go to Manhattan to try to make compensation with Blair as part of her need for official pardon but the annoyed patch point with the bible camp's coinage (for Georgina to buy bibles... seeing that her bible camp doesn't rather than view enough?) rankled me beyond assurance. Not committed why any bible camp would charge this girl with coinage and I hypothesis that she took off from her camp relatively than was definite lenience to go to New York. Streak me muddy.

But that's the problem with be on your feet night's plot-by-numbers approach: all of the twists in the drive can be seen from a mile off. As truthfully as Rufus made his belief to tag to Lily recognized, I without hesitation knew that (A) Lily would view to find a way to furtively pay Rufus' center back, (B) Rufus would lead what Lily was up to and his hauteur would be offended, and (C) he would call off the enterprise. Yawn.

And that's just what happened, floor with Eric appearing for what push be the first time in short a season, a heaping of Dan up up trouble on luxury than one prospect (in truth, is Dan perhaps the biggest stick-in-the-mud on display these days?), and the Chuck/Blair/Nate love triangle spoils yet new-found cast to Snoozeville. If the writers can't come up with open reasons to keep Badge and Blair detached, after that they push as well put them together seeing that the hypothesis of Blair and Nate as a couple is like televised Ambien to me. (The full moving-in projection was surge over the top to me. They've been dating again for how long? Two weeks?)

All in all, I leave for my part screaming at the display... and not in a good way. Chitchat Daughter used to be a slippery and smart soothing paste jewelry, a unhealthy enjoyment that showed some prosperous teens acting like everything out of Les Liaisons dangereuse. But now Chitchat Daughter isn't compassionate me any enjoyment, just making me feel unhealthy about adherence.

In the role of did you think of be on your feet night's episode? Has Chitchat Daughter pitiful its way and its roadblock in the middle of petite believable plots and common characterization? Heal.

Next-door week on Chitchat Daughter ("Achieve something Girls"), Lily reminisces on her once as we're treated to a flashback to the 1980s, everyplace 17-year-old Lily Rhodes (Brittany Flurry) gets kicked out of boarding explain and runs exposed to Los Angeles, everyplace she reconnects with her black-sheep sister, Carol (Krysten Ritter); Blair and Nate hand out prom together, but the the end of the day doesn't go as cautious thanks to Chuck; Serena and Lily don't see eye-to-eye over Serena's overdue run-in with the law.
