So Nate’s mother hands him the family ring and asks him to gift it to Blair on her birthday. So Nate, in order to please his family, calls up Miss Waldorf and wants to bridge any gap that might have come into their relationship.

Chuck catches up Blair at the balcony and informs her that Nate would not come, as the only reason he had called her is for the business deal between the two families. Blair tells him that he is plain jealous and Chuck admits that he has fallen for her. Blair does not believe anything of it, and they end up making a bet that Blair will spend the night with Chuck if Nate doesn’t come, and if he does come, Chuck Bass would never bother her again in her life.
The Gossip Girl Blog, reports at around midnight that Nate Archibald was seen having heart to heart talk regarding families with Jenny Humphrey and also that they were seen in each other’s arms and this news leaves Blair distraught and she confirms to Serena Van der Woodsen about the finishing of their relationship.

Blair Waldorf is visited by Chuck Bass, but she is crying badly and is not in the mood to have sex with him at the moment. He explains that he has come just to give her gift. He then hands her the beautiful necklace she had chosen at the jeweler and tells her “Something this beautiful deserves to be seen on someone worthy of its beauty.” She is overwhelmed and flattered as she gives him a kiss.
“Spotted. B. turning a year older, but not necessarily wiser. Guess Chuck’s the gift that keeps on giving. Blow out your candles, B. This’ll be better in the dark. xoxo, Gossip Girl.”
