And just like that, our only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattans elitehas been axed.
Lets cut to the chase: They catch Kate Keller!
Lock her up, I say!
What a satisfying ending for a character who has caused us so much grief.
And lets give it up for those cameos.
We get Andy Cohen!
We get a Nate Archibald Spectator mention!
We get Eric van der Woodsens husband!
And even better, we get someone other than Camille de Haan (who is literallysucha bitch!)
putting the plan into play.
And what a treat!
The band gets back together for our finale after calling an emergency meeting at Dumbo House.
This isGossip Girlat its finest.
And Im thrilled by their phishing scam that Kate obviously falls for.
If she didnt have Jordan in her life, the jig would have been up last season.
These kids dont know who to trust!
Luna La is over these stupid-ass high-school games.
And Obie Bergmann, that fucking little tattletalerat!
But Obie, like most teenage boys, is messy.
After the group disbands, defeated and doubtful, Obie goes through Juliens phone while shes in the shower.
He makes a fatal error however.
He doesnt leave the phone as he found it.
Why is Obie so addicted to Gossip Girl?
Why is he acting as a double agent?
After some tapping around, Julien realizes that Obie is the weak link and quickly alerts the others.
This wouldnt be aGossip Girlfinale without a final plan by Julien.
And it sounds foolproof for once!
They are going to stage a takeover of the account before taking public ownership of it.
Once they get the credit, the attention-obsessed anonymous behind the account will burst onto the scene.
Theyre going to go public at none other than the Met Gala.
I scream.Yes!This is absolutely what this show is about teens meddling at high-stakes, exclusive events.
Gideon delivers, and Zoyas initial look is a slay.
Eric van der Woodsens husband makes an appearance claiming that GG brought his husband to ruins.
I almost forget about all our little side story lines amid our mission to take down GG.
The throuple is on the brink of downsizing into a couple much to Maxs dismay.
Have you looked at the legs on that girl?
And her cheekbones could cut glass.
Shes a born model!
He uses it, predictably, to bring his family down.
Zoya walks the red carpet in a Kiki Hope original with a message plastered across her apron (?)
that reads I Am Gossip Girl.
The crowd goes wild!
Who is this random teenage girl?
Audrey slips her moms name to the press and secures coverage (a true pro).
Jordan feels so blessed.
Someone else has taken the credit.
They can go on with their lives.
Kate pretends to agree, but you might tell shes seething.
Cut to la dolce vita.
Meanwhile, Monet is stuck under Camilles clutches on a family vacation.
These two carried the show!
The least we can do is grant them some shots on location.
Aki has no clue why theyre in Rome but is happy to be there all the same.
The couple hasnt heard from Max, who is going full Chuck Bass at Berghain.
Then we get the real reason why were on holiday.
Julien wants to get to know her long-lost family and makes the trek a laThe White Lotuss Di Grassos.
My only issue with this ending is it makes me think of my least-favorite character, Nick Lott.
Did Nick not know anything about his ex-wife or her family?
I understand Davis being in the dark but Nick?
He is far too nosy.
But loving this show means loving its plot holes, so I guess I cant complain.
As for whats next, Ill be rewatching the original.
It wouldnt be the finale without a final Shanism: Thank you for Call Me by Your Lame.
(Tritanic was pretty good too.)
