A Failed Escape

An Outrageous Dowry
Louis’s mother reminds Blair’s mother that if Blair tries to back out of the marriage, they will be forced to pay a dowry to the royal family - a dowry so large that Blair’s mom will have to sell her business. Blair decides to suck it up and endure Louis’s wrath to keep her family in the money.
The Real Charlie Rhodes

Who is Gossip Girl?
Meanwhile, we learn that Georgina isn’t Gossip Girl after all. She’s merely filling in for the real Gossip Girl, who became MIA after Blair and Chuck’s accident.
