Hello, Upper East Siders. Your favorite duo, Phoebe and Caroline, is back on the scene with all the juicy, scandal-filled details from Gossip Girl Season 1, Episode 7, “Victor, Victrola.” This week, we’re venturing downtown into the dimly lit, temptation-heavy world of burlesque as Blair and Chuck’s unexpected night out turns into a defining moment for their dangerously addictive dynamic. Meanwhile, uptown isn’t any calmer. Nate’s family drama reaches a fever pitch as the cracks in the picture-perfect Archibalds widen, reminding us that even the most privileged lives can unravel spectacularly. And over in Brooklyn, Dan and Serena try to navigate their first time. Their attempt at a morning delight is derailed when Vanessa makes an unforgettable entrance via the fire escape window, crashing the moment both literally and emotionally. If ever there were a masterclass in impeccably impeccable timing, this wasn’t it.As if that weren’t enough, we also dig into some tantalizing parallels with Tell Me Lies, unpacking the shared themes of desire, power, and self-destruction. Fair warning, darlings: spoilers for Tell Me Lies are definitely on the table in this episode. Grab your belinis, settle in, and prepare for a deep dive into the tantalizing performances by Blake Lively & Leighton Meester.
