With only one more episode in Season 5 of Gossip Girl, the writers have pulled out all the stops and jam-packed “The Fugitives” with juicy drama and schemes. Let’s dive deeper into this episode:

• Chuck Finds Out Why Bart Is Still Alive – Bart Bass tells Chuck he had a lot of dirt on a competitor of his, and found out the guy was planning on killing him because of that. He knew that he had to make him think he was dead for the safety of him and his family. So, when he was in the hospital after the accident, he knew that was the perfect chance. Chuck asks him how he lead everyone to believe he was dead. “Did you pay a doctor?” “What did we bury in that coffin?” Bart doesn’t divulge much. And unfortunately, he says he has to leave. Chuck isn’t happy about that so he wants to find the man who tried to kill him. He goes to his private investigator Andrew and asks him to help. But Andrew declines and said it would be a waste of time.
• Blair Has to Choose Over Dan and Chuck – Dan gets another shot at going to Rome and this time he can take B. She finally agrees to go with him, but they have to be approved by an alumnus of the program. But Blair finds out that Bart is trying to leave town and wants to help Chuck. So, right before the person comes to interview her and Dan, she says they need gelato and runs out to be by Chuck’s side.
• Diana Makes a Deal With Chuck – Diana knows who tried to kill Bart and will tell him as long as word doesn’t get out about the sex party she was caught hosting in last week’s episode. Chuck talks to Nate and he agrees to keep quiet. Diana tells Chuck that the competitor is a guy named Mason Nevins and he has a standing appointment with some of her twin prostitutes. She gives Chuck the address and tells him he can blackmail him if he gets a picture of Mason in the act. But, right after Diana tells Chuck this, she gets a call from a reporter at the New York Times who has been tipped off by Lola about the prostitution party. Diana ends her deal with Chuck, and he gets mad at Nate and Lola for letting this happen.
• Blair Plots to Help Catch Mason – She’s supposed to be at the interview with Dan, but she sends Serena to be her in her place. S hilariously BS’s her way as B — enough to get approved by the alumnus. Back to the plot against Mason… Lola brings Ivy to be her twin in the plan to catch Mason in the act. Hilarious moment: Ivy says, “I’d love to get back in the gang.” Blair replies, “Just to clarify, in order to be back in the gang, you would have to be in the gang to begin with.” But they allow Ivy to stay and the girls dress up like prostitutes in the hotel room. Chuck’s private investigator Andrew walks in and tells the girls Chuck said the whole thing is called off because Mason is on to him. They all head back to the mansion where the sex party was and look for Chuck. He comes in with his security team and Bart Bass, and they question Andrew. Turns out, he got too much dirt on Mason, and Mason was going to hurt him and his family if he didn’t help him get rid of Bart. They staged the whole accident and Andrew knew when to jump out of the car. The security team comes in right at that moment, saying they got the whole thing on tape. Buh bye, traitor!
• Gossip Girl Has Some Major Dirt on Blair – Gossip Girl is finally back after stealing Serena’s laptop, and she sends a blast out with an entry from Blair’s diary. It alludes to the fact that Dan is about to say “I love you,” to her but she doesn’t know how she feels about that. And how did Gossip Girl get this? None other than Serena. The friendship war is about to begin…
