Why is ivy pretending to be charlie

Serena, who has been in LA since the beginning of summer, encounters Ivy in the restaurant she is working at and invites her to lunch. Ivy resumes to identity of Charlie whilst with Serena. Upon their arrival to New York, Ivy is confronted by Carol.

Ivy blackmails Carol, telling her that she will expose their secret unless she is allowed to stay in New York under the identity of Charlie. Carol hesitantly agrees and leaves New York. During a ball thrown by Lily to help "Charlie" become integrated into New York society, Ivy sends a tip to Gossip Girl sharing the location of Blair and Chuck's getaway car to divert attention away from her in case her secret is exposed. A private investigator hired by Lily to find "Charlie" tracks down the real Charlotte Rhodes who has been living in New York under the name of Lola, unbeknownst to her mother.

Ivy returns to New York where she is reunited with Charlie after it is revealed they were in the same acting class in Miami. She then leaves New York, unable to tell Lily an important message. Ivy is staying with a terminally ill CeCe in a care home in the Hamptons.

But did anyone else wonder where the children disappeared to after they'd been born? Considering Dorota and Vanya's long working hours and the children's ages, who looked after them when their parents were at work? We never saw the kids again and it's as if they had never been born. Yes, we witnessed a lot of questionable parenting in Gossip Girl , but we really expected more from Dorota and Vanya. Are the children still all alone in their apartment in Queens?

When it was revealed that Dan was Gossip Girl, there was a good degree of shock and a "you little rascal" attitude towards him. Yet, everyone forgave him and agreed that GG had done a lot of good too. The biggest question we're left with is, are these people utterly insane?! They literally had a voyeur in their midst and are okay with it.

For years, Dan documented and leaked all of their secrets, embarrassing and exploiting his friends and family. He watched — sometimes from a distance, sometimes close by — when they least knew it. There's nothing healthy about his behavior, but everyone smiled and moved on. In fact, Serena even married the guy who'd tormented her for years.

What the hell! We all know that Dan had help from his sister, Jenny, in keeping the Gossip Girl thing going. Yes, folks, Jenny is an accomplice, and it was mentioned that they'd leak info on themselves to keep the ruse up and everyone pondering.

That said, there were some really harsh things released about Jenny that made her cry and Dan upset. The question is, was this all a part of their plan, too? If so, it shows sociopathic tendencies. Who in the world would torture themselves all in the name of maintaining a website?! Social-climbing does exist, but this takes it to an entirely different level. We strongly suggest that Dan and Jenny receive some psychological help because what they did to each other isn't natural nor healthy.

Vanessa hopped between sidechick and the friend zone a little too much for our liking. At times it was rather pathetic to see the lengths she'd go to for Dan's attention who could ever forget the infamous Dan, Vanessa, and Olivia, ahem, event? So, it should come as no surprise that Vanessa kept track of all of Dan's girlfriends in case she needed to pull up some info on them. One thing that's puzzling, though, is how she knew about Serena's supposed rendezvous with her boarding school professor.

Lily made it pretty clear that she'd made sure the Ben Donovan story never came out to protect Serena, so there's no way that Vanessa could've known about it — not even through the rumor mill since she didn't hang out with these people. Vanessa and Dan were the friend goals we aspired to, until feelings tainted the picture and turned their relationship into an insufferable pseudo-romance.

They were always better friends than romantic partners, and the tidbits about their past were useful morsels of information about who these people really were. The show confused things for us with some conflicting information, though. However, Vanessa revealed to Charlie that their friendship began when they were in third grade, which means they were around eight or nine years old at the time.

Look, it's possible that one of them actually forgot the age they became friends, but do you really do that with your best friend? Sounds suspect. One of Gossip Girl 's most disturbing storylines was the time when William gave his ex-wife, Lily, fake cancer in an attempt to keep seeing her. It was deceitful, disgusting, and completely deranged — yet, Lily ended up with William at the end of the show. While it's admirable that William wanted to win his ex-wife back, giving her a life-threatening illness isn't.

It's such a mind-bogglingly evil thing to do that it borders on something the Joker might do to punish Batman. We're not sure about you, but we certainly wouldn't forgive someone who put us and our family through such an ordeal just so they could get closer.

Unfortunately, this wasn't William's only dastardly plan as he connived his way into Lily's life several times over. It's actually scary to think about this guy. Lily was a graceful and elegant woman, who went through as many husbands as she did shoes. In addition, she had a rich back story that showed she'd been a huge part of New York's social scene for many years. However, like a true lady, she never revealed her age.

Surely this means that the Van Der Woodsen family are blind because if you were reunited with a cousin after several years apart, you'd be able to tell if she was a complete stranger? People's faces don't just completely change. Oh, and then Ivy goes and hooks up with Rufus to top it all off.

Or whenever the characters traveled back and forth between the Upper East Side and Brooklyn multiple times a day. I've been to New York, and that's at least a minute commute. None of them ever seemed bothered by it, even when they were in heels. That's never going to fly in real life. When the gang had a black-tie gala, masked ball, or fancy charity gala every single weekend. Seriously, how do they have the time to organise these all the damn time? In between school, worrying about what GG is going to post next and sorting out their incredible outfits, these extravagant balls just seem to pop up out of nowhere.

Not only is she the most annoying character ever, but she's also really the most un-fashionable person in the show OK, maybe Dan actually takes that crown She wears eyeliner far too thick and skirts that are far too short. Jenny quickly goes from having a sewing machine and making her own clothes in Season 1 to being so talented that Eleanor even takes credit for Jenny's designs. This would never happen in the real world.

We can't even get a swipe on Tinder, and Blair managed to date the most eligible guys in the whole world. Actually though, if all royals are like Louis, we're quite happy to keep waiting for our own Chuck Bass! IRL, a lot of established writers with cannot even get their pieces into the New Yorker, so there would be no way on this earth Lonely Boy could.
