Finally, Dan and Serena are refusing to actually talk about what went wrong in their relationship last year, leaving them both feeling confused and as luck would have it, a city wide blackout leaves them stuck in a elevator.
Looking hot and sweaty in an lift is never a good look, but Serena's cream dress with brown polka dots was a triumph, and it's a shame yet again that dull Dan let her down in a simple brown shirt and pants. Yawn, once again.
Nate, bless him tried to make some form of effort in a navy blue suit, but was let down by his tan coloured shoes. Meanwhile, his date, Vanessa did get to glam it up a bit in a cream and orange maxi dress, but can't really compete in the fashion stakes opposite the likes of Serena and Blair.
Chuck stole the show in grey suit pants, a matching waistcoat, purple cravat and lilac shirt. He should have looked ridiculous, but as it was he looked sexy as hell; how could Blair refuse?!
Well, quite easily as it happens, as Queen B was in no mood for Chuck's shenanigans and was still trying to get Marcus to make her feel 'alive'. Give it up Blair, his mind is clearly elsewhere!
We don't get how he could of refused her though really, as she looked stunning in her 3.1 Philip Lim yellow one shouldered dress, complete with a floral wreath headband. This could be a contender for outfit of the series, as we are seriously in love with it!
We're also loving the fact that every episode title is either a play on words or influenced by a movie title, and seeing as this episode paid tribute to The Dark Knight, Chuck was absolutely doing his best to be as creepy as the Joker.
Creeping up to Blair and whispering sweet nothings in her ear, ended with him demanding sex from her and Blair telling him how much she hated him.
Cue him sneaking up to Blair's room and the pair indulging in a bit of tonsil tennis in the dark, before Marcus catches them and promptly punches Chuck in the face.
Blair's face is a picture as she pleads ignorance, saying she thought it was him and admits she wants Marcus to show how much he wants her.
He did look kind of hot when he punched Chuck and maybe this relationship does have a future, as the pair have a passionate kiss on the stairs, witnessed by a somber looking Chuck.
When the lights came on, we were left with a bit of an empty hole in our hearts, as everyone seemed to have broken up during the blackout. The episode ended with Chuck trying to get lucky with a random in his limo, only to realise he's still in love with Blair- aww!
Dan, Vanessa and Serena were all nursing separate heartbreaks, Nate was dreading meeting up with Catherine once more and Blair seems to be back on top with Marcus by her side.
Next week should be an interesting one, as senior year begins at Constance Billiard and St Judes. Chuck is plotting the demise of someone close to him and could we about to see the return of Queen Serena? Check in for another fashion rundown next week with The Ex-Files.
