Episode Recap:
This week on Gossip Girl, Ben tries to adjust to life on the Upper East Side. Dan doesn’t like his new roommate and Damien has some problem with Ben and wants him gone. Damien uses Eric to find out information about Ben and tells Eric that Ben attacked him the night before.
The only thing Serena wants is to be apart of Ben’s life and she’ll do anything to make everyone accept Ben for the great person that he is.
Blair is focused on getting a good performance review from Epperly and to make sure it happens she’s trying to get Epperly’s strings plucked. Blair goes to Chuck to get him to do the job, but he’s too busy trying to get Raina to fall for him so he can still keep Bass Industries. But Nate is there, so Blair enlists his help.
Chuck’s plan falls apart when he actually starts to feel something for Raina. Nate fails at sleeping with Epperly only because she ran into an ex boyfriend at the party. Damien and Eric concoct a plan to get Ben to violate his parole and use Dan to help. But when Dan finds out the truth that Ben never hit Damien, Dan clears everything up and accepts Ben in his life.
In the end, Blair calls Raina to tell her that Chuck really does have feelings for her. Raina tells her dad they should buy Bass Industries but they should keep Chuck on to run the company. And Blair goes from W intern to staffer.
