If you're just tuning in to GG this season here's what you've missed:
Dan & Serena are back together, although they haven't discussed the issues they originally had about dating.
Nate is seeing an older woman who turned out to be the mother of Blair's new "Lord" boyfriend (he's a Lord from England as in a title, not a God) and since Nate and his Mom have no money Nate is pimping himself out to "The Dutchess" in order to make money.
Chuck is in love with Blair, but can't bring himself to say it, so she goes off with The Lord, to get over her he's been seen with a multitude of other girls.
Jenny has been interning for Blair's mom, although she's been out of the country for the entire summer.
Vanessa and Nate are kind of dating, but see above for his other relationship which keeps getting in the way.
There were lots of parties. And Blair knows about Nate and The Dutchess, who happens to married to The Duke.

Tonight's GG has yet another party, thrown yet again by Blair. But everyone's plans get thrown down the tube when there is a city wide blackout. Dan & Serena get stuck in an elevator together where they must confront their fears and problems with their relationship. Chuck uses the darkness to try and sleep with Blair, but does she know it's really Chuck and not The Lord?

One plot I'm really finding myself enjoying is Jenny's. Tonight she finally sees Blair's mom, while she happens to be questioning her work. Of course she's quickly fired, but when she's stuck in the building with her boss will it lead to another chance?

And there's a change in store for most of the relationships on the show. I don't want to ruin anything but by the end of the episode several relationships will be in jeopardy, with at least one over for the foreseeable time. And at least one character will reveal a new relationship!

I have to say I'm very pleased with the new season of Gossip Girl and can't wait to see where it goes next!
