What were your thoughts about Raina? I thought they could have done so much more with her character, especially with the idea she was essentially the female Chuck Bass.

Blair is getting ready for her first day officially working for W and no longer being an intern. Ever since Epperly offered her the job she's taken it upon herself to be the queen of fashion she's always been. "Please don't tell me you're leaving already."

"Must be very special for him spending Valentine's Day with someone other than his cellie."

"We decided to sit it out too. We just started dating. It's too much pressure." Serena lies and Blair's not buying it for a second. "Hey, why don't we have a friend's Valentine's Day? Manis, macaroons, massages? I'm pretty sure I saw on Gossip Girl that Ella is in the city this week and..."
