Dan gently pulls Georgina into the room as the munching at the table stops. Forks fall on white glass plates and mouths fall open revealing half-chewed food. "G-g-g-georrr-gina. Georgina! Hello!" smiles Rufus as he welcomes Miss Sparks in the van der Woodsen home. Two empty seats lie directly in front of Jenny and Damien. "Congratulations!" exclaim Jenny as they hesitantly take their seats. At the exact moment a door slams open. "Dan! Georgina! Welcome hooooooommmeeee! After all, this IS going to be your home too, right?" Serena stumbles out of her bedroom with a sheer men's button down and disheveled hair. A cocktail smell of alcohol creeps its way and overtakes the smell of freshly squeezed orange juice. Without taking much time to glance her way, Dan addressed her with a simple apathetic "Hi Serena. I see not much has changed with you." She laughs and makes her way seductively towards Dan, "Well darling, what do you expect when our parents got married; preventing us from our happy ever after?" Dan takes a long sip of orange juice and looks directly at Georgina while replying to Serena, "I'm looking at my happy ever after," shifts his eyes back to Serena and continues, "apparently you haven't sobered up enough yet to realize that it wasn't Rufus and Lily getting married that took it away. It was Georgina being there for me when my mother died. It was Georgina being there for me when the intern scandal happened at the publishing house. And it was also Georgina being there for me when you decided to leave our three-year old DAUGHTER home alone while you were partying till four a.m. with God knows who!" "Well EXCUSE ME! I didn't PRETEND Lilian is you kid. She IS your kid!" "With your record Serena, I'd actually believe if she wasn't." The room fell silent. Serena's eyes watered and her body had shriveled. Her eyes bulged and attached itself viciously to Georgina.

"I think it's time to go." Dan took Georgina's hand gently and led her to the doorway. He turned and addressed the family: "If you're going to sit there and let Serena attack Georgina, then I really don't think these Sunday brunches hold its purpose. Jen, Dad - I expected more of you. Lily, I'd like to congratulate both you and my dad. Your love is an inspiration. You've finally made it. I hope you can be as happy for Georgina and me as I am for you. Damien, I hope you stick around. You two are good for each other." With that the elevators closed – separating Dan from the family for the first time.
