Arguably the greatest scene in Gossip Girl. At the very least it's among the most epic, sweeping and emotional. It's from Gossip Girl 4x02 "Double Identity" and the music is Sia's "I'm in Here"

I could talk about this scene from the Gare du nord all day but here are a few things I want to mention:
Can we appreciate Leighton Meester's big brown eyes and raw vulnerability? How about the way she slips on her Queen B mask when she says "But it takes more than even you to destroy Blair Waldorf" Or the crushed expression on her face when she looks down at the ring box she's about to give back to him. What about the way she steels herself when she gets ready to say "I don't love you anymore."

I think Ed Westwick is amazing in it too. I love his intense "I destroyed the only thing I ever loved." He knows he f'd up royally and hates himself. He hates himself to the point where he wants to eradicated all traces of Chuck Bass and become another person. His manner is self-contained and relatively calm until she says the words "I don't love you anymore" and then you see him wince. It's like a slap and it hurts It hurts so badly.. His eyes suddenly fill with tears and he tries gamely to blink them back. There is much hurt between these two. But even with all the hurt they're still connected and still care for one another.
He tells her her world would be easier if he never came back. It's true. But her response says it all "It wouldn't be my world without you in it" Honestly how could anyone doubt these two were endgame?


Chuck Bass, Blair Waldorf
