Starting sipping on a Martini and grab your minions friends, and get ready to celebrate and re-fall in love with the glamorous lives of Manhattan’s elite.
1. Pilot

Someone saw Serena getting off the train at Grand Central... and life was never the same. After running away to boarding school, Serena van der Woodsen returns to the Upper East Side to try and win back her best friend/ queen bee Blair Waldorf and repair her relationship with her family.
Enter lonely boy Dan Humphrey (and his sister Little J), brooding Nate Archibald, bad boy Chuck Bass and an anonymous blogger tracking their every move and it’s only a matter of time before the drama unfolds at the ‘Kiss on the Lips’ party.
2. Victor/Victrola

3. Blair Waldorf Must Pie, The Magnificent Archibald’s, The Treasure of Serena Madre, Gaslit, It’s Really Complicated

5. Woman on the Verge

6. Summer Kind of Wonderful

The group travels to the Hamptons to kick off Season 2 and the drama has higher stakes than ever. Contrary to popular belief, Nate is sleeping with an older/married woman and NOT Serena.
And Dan goes to his first white party to learn the truth the hard way. Plus, who could forget the beginning of Chuck and Blair’s countdown to “I love you?” Three words, eight letters...
7. O Brother, Where Bart Thou?
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--fb_Dtxce--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1505679807/slides/2710/o-brother-where-bart-thou.gif)
After Bart Bass dies (the first time), Chuck begins a downward spiral that no one— not even Blair— can shake him out of. This is by far one of the most emotional episodes of the series, but because it’s Gossip Girl, the relationship drama doesn’t stop (even for death).
Lilly and Rufus, Dan and Serena (plus Aaron... remember him?) and Eleanor and Cyrus all take big steps in their respective relationships.
8. The Goodbye Gossip Girl

9. Belles De Jour/ Double Identity
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--InVHjpkA--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1505679854/slides/2710/belles-de-jour-slash-double-identity.gif)
Spotted: S and B in Paris... looking more chic than ever. The first two episodes of Season 4 took place in France, and it was a vacation fans will never forget.
It wasn’t all fashion and macaroons though, because after Serena tracks down Chuck and learns the truth about what happened to him, it’s up to Blair to convince him to come home and be himself again (“It wouldn’t be my world without you in it...” SWOON).
10. Juliet Doesn’t Live Here Anymore

11. G.G.

Gossip Girl reached its milestone 100th episode in Season 5, and the opening scene did not disappoint. The drama always did dream sequences well—never forget Blair’s “All About Eve” nightmare— but it doesn’t get any better than seeing Serena sing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” as Marilyn Monroe and Blair channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn (again).
The return of Georgina (and her fake Gossip Girl reveal), and Blair’s royal wedding disaster also made this episode one to remember.
12. New York, I Love You XOXO
