Discuss "The Magnificent Archibalds" in Our Gossip Girl Forum
It's Thanksgiving on the Upper East Side tonight, and when Blair, Roman, Cyrus and Eleanor all get together, well, you can imagine there will be some drama.
The same thing goes for Jenny and Rufus, although Lily will try to intervene. Dan, meanwhile, creates some conflict of his own - between Aaron and Serena.
What do you think and hope will happen with your favorite character(s)?
Discuss "The Magnificent Archibalds" and more in our official Gossip Girl forum!
We invite you to take a look at quotes, pictures and videos from the episode as we compile them. After the show, we'll be posting our official episode recap, as well as Gossip Girl fashion and music breakdowns and our staff Round Table discussion!
For Blair Waldorf, this Thanksgiving scene is bound to be a little awkward.

Fuck another ep without C/B. I know the next one will have them big time but come on two eps in a row like this is torture =P. And i'm pretty sure we're in for a mayor cliff hanger.
Loved that Harold was there.

Serena and Aaron again!! and Dan is always there for her? Aaron, when will he go....
November 17th, 2008 11:05 AM
Finally the return of Chuck and Blair scenes! and many more to come in the next two episodes...

i wish blair's dad were around more. he really grounds and her and makes her so happy.
p.s. just saw a pic of aaron at the funeral. god, he really seems to be infused in the group.. but he is also cyrus' son aside from serena's bf, so i guess it makes sense.. he is having multiple levels of connections in the group.

no cb!!!!!!!boring episode btw!
crappy arg
November 17th, 2008 11:27 AM
It's kind of a given. Any episode without CB is just plain boring! At least I know that the next episodes, possibly the rest of the season, are gonna be full CB centric so I'm not that pissed but it's just wrong though
November 17th, 2008 11:27 AM
Im glad there throwing some stuff from the book.. I cant stand Aaron!!!

Blair complains about Cyrus to Serena. Nevertheless, and even though her dad isn’t coming, she still plans to have the perfect Thanksgiving. Then Dan asks Blair and Serena if they’ve seen Jenny and she tells him that she’s been spending a lot of time with Eric at the apartment. Meanwhile, Dan is really cold towards Nate, and Chuck gets snarky with Nate about knowing who his real friends are. Jenny and Eric discuss emancipation at a lawyer’s office. Dan invites Vanessa over for Thanksgiving dinner, but she says she doesn’t want to see Jenny. Dan tells Rufus that Jenny’s been spending time with Eric, and he calls and harasses Lily. Lily discovers that Jenny’s been staying at their apartment while she and Bart have been away. Nate and his mom get home and his dad is there!
Nate’s dad has been living comfortably in Dominica, and he wants his family to join him – the decision is up to Nate. Lily tells Rufus that she’ll talk to Jenny and take care of her for Thanksgiving. Apparently Bart has sicced a PI on Eric’s boyfriend, who is cheating on him. Chuck and Eric decide to find out how much exactly Bart knows. Aaron tells Serena he’s a one-woman man now, and he’s apparently a recovering alcoholic. Dorota and Blair gossip: Cyrus has proposed to Eleanor and they’re going to announce it at Thanksgiving dinner. Lily discovers Jenny’s emancipation papers.
Dan and Rufus run into Aaron at the grocery store and Dan talks too much and jeopardizes things with Aaron and Serena. Serena lies to Aaron, saying that Dan lied about her past. Lily calls Rufus and Dan over to her apartment to tell them about the emancipation papers. Chuck and Eric dig through Bart’s safe (which includes gold bars), but they’re interrupted when Vanessa calls Chuck and tells him that Nate’s in trouble. Blair has a tantrum when her mom won’t tell her ‘the news’ early and she refuses to go to dinner.
Blair and Dorota go to the park. Blair refuses to let Dorota answer her cell phone (her ringer is “I’m a slave for you”) when Eleanor calls. Eric has a meltdown when he sees how much info Bart has on him. Dan and Rufus arrive at the Vanderbass household. Aaron and Dan confront Serena about her lies, and Dan covers for her. Eric shows Serena Bart’s folders. Chuck and Vanessa introduce Nate to an FBI agent – apparently Nate’s dad wants to extort money from Nate’s maternal grandfather, and Chuck advises Nate to turn his dad in. Rufus tells Jenny that he loves her enough to allow the emancipation.
Lily, Eric, and Serena confront Bart about his dossiers about them. They refuse to spend Thanksgiving with him. Nate confronts his dad and guilts him into giving himself up. The FBI arrest him. Eric tells Lily he’s read her file: apparently Lily has been institutionalized, too. Serena shows up at the Waldorf/Rose house to give Aaron her dossier, and she tells Eleanor where Blair is. Outside, Blair and Dorota run into Jenny. They argue about whose parents love them more, when Eleanor arrives to retrieve Blair and give Jenny a ride home.
Nate makes up with Vanessa and Chuck. Chuck and Nate decide to get drunk in Chuck’s limo in lieu of dinner. Blair gets home to see her dad waiting for her with pie. That was the surprise all along! Rufus and Dan get home to find Jenny waiting for them. She chooses not to be emancipated. Aaron doesn’t want to read the dossier, he just wants to ‘know’ Serena. Lily, Eric, and Vanessa show up at the Humphrey house for Thanksgiving dinner. Vanessa and Jenny make up. Vanessa finds an unopened letter from Nate addressed to Jenny and reads it – he’s in love with Jenny. Bart calls his PI to look further into Lily’s past.
arg! NO CB AND TOO BORING!!!!!!!AND I HATE THE SPOILERS OF 131415 FOR CB!!!!!!!TOO BAD
November 17th, 2008 11:51 AM
the spoilers for the next epis are not that bad for CB. They will be much more better than the last two episodes that missed CB. They will be back together, obviously. I just don't want the writers to give us any more CB less episodes. Thank god, it's not gonna be like that for a while
November 17th, 2008 12:02 PM
areu kidding ? will push b abrupsly in131415 and he will be wominacer and maybe we got a side that maybe at victrola he...we got cb hapiness in 12 for a minute like the wedding!and then c all in bankok whoring!and with pills
November 17th, 2008 12:25 PM
I don't wanna be rude but his father dies!!!!
How do you want him to act than just close himself off and go back to being Chuck Bass when he didn't feel anything.
I'm not getting into this yet again.
I'd better see C destroying himself and B being by his side than watching any more epis like 2.10-2.11
November 17th, 2008 12:28 PM
i'm just afraid of c.i mean he is so intence and mean.he can't do something huge just to push b.and i feel for her.yes i know is a huge ,thing it is just i have ,this feeling like the writters are afraid of cb couple and want to do it far maybe at the end.
November 17th, 2008 1:11 PM
glad to see jenny ditch the horrible "raccoon eye" make-up at the end. sad that we have to wait two weeks for the next episode but it should be a good one...can't wait!
November 17th, 2008 1:23 PM
nate really says that he's in love with jenny? lol i woudnt put too much faith in that if i were jenny, since nate was also soo in love with serena AND blair.
November 17th, 2008 2:01 PM
It's too bad that there's still no Chuck/Blair story, but its just going to be that much sweeter when it happens. I'm such an optimist..haha
November 17th, 2008 2:43 PM
I live in Canada.
This was a good, solid episode that actually made me a cry a little. I loved it. The ending made me very happy.
November 17th, 2008 3:04 PM
I want cb sceeenes!
they will leave c and b to the next drama episodes, its unfair
November 17th, 2008 3:28 PM
Well, it's not about CB, it's about Chuck dealing :)
JustMyChuck, I'm an optimist too and I don't mind the lack of CB lately because the next episodes are so centered around them *YAY*
November 17th, 2008 4:11 PM
:)
November 17th, 2008 8:02 PM
I LOVE AARON ROSE NAME
BUT HE'S LIKE A LAME RETARDED WOMANIZER ARTIST?
RARE COMBINATION‼‼‼
AAAAAAND PLEASE WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE SECOND OF BC ACTION??
November 17th, 2008 8:10 PM
Okay. I'm sorry but I just had to say this: No, there aren't any Chuck/Blair scenes... Now please get over it. There's WAY more to this show than those two as a couple! Ugh! I mean I have favourite couples myself but I don't expect every episode to be about them. Seriously guys. Isn't too much of a good thing bad?
November 17th, 2008 8:12 PM
aside from Chuck and Blair,
you learn what Lily's secret is.
