Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 4: One Flew Over the Cucks’s Nest
Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 4 drops us right around the time of Valentine’s Day week and not everything is looking brilliant. For starters, we see how Grace is two-timing Obie. Oh, and, it is far worse than, say, Devi from Never Have I Ever, because we realize how Obie is just a tool at this point to protect her from her mother’s wrath.
Meanwhile, we have Julien whose world finally seems to light up after a chance encounter with an old, married man. But, she knows that it would be a dead end for her to pursue an affair. So, she does what she does best, investigates the Grace situation at a spa with all her friends! But, to let the cat out of the bag, she needs everyone to be there and, Monet’s party is the perfect opportunity.
But, Grace is not the only target in this episode because Aki’s withdrawal from the trio prompts Max and Audrey to figure out what is wrong with their partner and if he is cheating on them. To make matters more complicated, Monet finds out that her father is having an affair and sees her party as the perfect place to catch him red-handed. We also have Shah and Zoya’s friendship at stake for what the former knows about the latter’s father.
With so many secrets to guggle up, Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 4 really takes things slow only to give up segment-wise insight into every drama. However, our Gossip Girl, Kate, finds out the one that would leave everyone shocked and posts about it as she starts to realize that Mike Shubin might not be her perfect match after all.
