Everyone is back in New York. Chuck is trying to get back Bass Industries, Daniel is writing his new book just this time he wants to reveal all the secrets about UES, Georgina is making sure that Dan won't screwed up, Blair is waiting for Chuck to be ready for her, Serena is working with movies producers again, and Nate is running Spectator.
Dan decides to go and stay in the loft unfortunately things turn out not like he expected. He came in the loft and saw his father on the couch with a girl, turns out the girl is Ivy. Ivy and Rufus stand up and everyone looked at each other for few long seconds, Daniel was angry when he saw them together and get out before his father had a chance to talk to him.
Dan was in the Brooklyn streets and got a message from Lily : Come for the lunch.
Dan decides to go since he have nowhere else to go, he take a cab and went to Lily's.
Hello Daniel. – Lily welcomed him.
Hello Lily, you look beautiful as always.
Oh, thank you Daniel come in sit, everyone is here except Charles he's not coming he has a lot of business to take care of.
Well, I have to admit I'm not really upset that he's not coming.
I understand. You look different, Daniel all these new clothes and new haircut like a new person.
Yeah, well I tough it's time for changes.
Dan came into the room and saw Serena, Blair and Nate. Looks like no one really changed during the summer.
Hello man, look at your new appearance. – Nate looked surprised about Dan's new look and was happy to see him again.
Hey Dan! I've missed you. You really look different. – Serena hugged him.
Humphrey, long time. – Said Blair, and didn't look very welcoming.
Waldorf. – Dan said without even looking at her.
Lily decided that now it's time for lunch, since Dan and Blair had their hello things became very weird.
So maybe we should sit at the table. – Said Lily.
Everyone agreed and joined her.
So Daniel I heard everything is going very well to you with your writing. – Lily asked to interrupt awkward silence by the table.
You heard good. Everything is going just fine. – Dan answered.
I see you with your bags, what happened? Why you didn't left them at the loft? – Nate continues the conversation.
I tried, just loft is kind of occupied right now.
Why? What's going on? – Serena joined too.
I don't wanna talk about it right now. – He still had the image of his father and Ivy on the couch.
So where are you planning to stay? – Lily asked.
I'll figure something out.
You're welcome to stay here if you want.
No, but thank you Lily. I'm not planning on staying long in New York.
And where are you planning to go Humphrey? I don't think that any city wants to have you. – Blair said it with a sarcastic voice.
Where I'm going is none of your business, Blair. – Dan said with a smirk on his face.
Everyone was sitting in quite, eating and just looking at each other. Blair thought: Humphrey totally changed: new look, new behavior, and even eyes are different looks empty and dark. Just like his clothes: dark jeans, dark t-shirt, and black leather jacket. Well at least he left his jacket on the sofa and don't eat wearing it.
Everyone finished eating.
Nate and Serena was ready to clean the table.
Thank you for invitation Lily, but I should go now. – Dan said with a fake smile on his face.
Of course Daniel, always. I hope to see you soon. – Lily hugged Dan.
Bye Dan. – Said Serena and Nate.
Dan took his bags and his leather jacket and went to the elevator. He was a little surprised that Blair decides to join him.
I hope you are not going to humiliate me again with your new book. – Blair said with anger in her voice.
Oh, don't worry sweetheart. Everything is going to be just fine. You just have to wait and you'll see. – Dan said with ironic voice.
He came back as such an arrogant asshole. – Blair thought.
You think new clothes and haircut changed who you really are Humphrey? You're the same lonely boy from Brooklyn just like you were. – Blair said with disgust in her voice.
And you are still a bitch just like I remember. I'm just wondering when you're gonna understand that your lame, pathetic words can't hurt me. I know I'm from Brooklyn and that doesn't hurt. But you are always gonna be hurt and the fact that you're from Upper East Side can't change that.
Blair was left speechless What the hell is he talking about? But finally elevator doors opened and they can get as far as they can from each other.
I hope you'll like my new book. – Dan said with a smirk.
Who said I'm even gonna read it? – Blair fake a smile.
You don't have to read it. You'll know what's in there anyway, sweetheart. – Dan said and went to the other way from Blair.
