Season 4 Episode 2

Lily walked into the loft with Sophie on her hip ready to work on the nursery for Milo.

"Surprise. It's time for an extreme nursery makeover" She said and Sophie reached out for Dan.

"Hey Soph, I would love to hold you but your Aunt Vanessa just ran out and I need to make amends but here's your Uncle Nate" Dan said and then took off out the door. Nate grabbed Sophie from Lily and put her up on his shoulders.

"Any word?" Nate asked questioning about Chuck.

"Serena and your sister went to the morgue today"

"Wow, it wasn't him was it?"

"It wasn't him. Serena said that made Layla more hopeful"

"Any other word"
"Serena mentioned that they have indeed found him but its still not good"

"What's going on?"

"Charles signed all of his possessions over to Layla and he's changing his name."

"How is Layla taking it"

"Knowing your sister she's holding it together"

"But falling apart on the inside" Nate said moving Sophie on to his hip

"I'm going to work on that nursery" Lily said and grabbed Sophie from Nate.

Blair ran out to where Chuck stood by the train track. She stopped in front of him.

"Just because you're dressed poorly doesn't mean you're not Chuck Bass."

"Why would I want to be him?"

"You should have told me you got shot."

"I'm surprised you didn't shoot me yourself"

"I have. Many times. In my dreams. The good ones. But if you were really hurt I would want to know"

"When I woke up, my ID was gone and nobody knew who I was. Nobody was coming to look for me. I realized I might be alive but Chuck Bass didn't have to be"

"Changing your name doesn't change who you are."

"It's a good start. A chance to live simply, earn peoples respect. Maybe become a person someone could love"

"Someone did love you. There is a person who does love you. You owe to them and everyone else you're leaving including your daughter not to run away. Which is what you're doing. I don't think that great man you're talking about wanting to be a coward. I think he would face up to what he did."

"I destroyed the only thing I ever loved"

"I don't love you anymore"

"Your world would be easier if I didn't come back"

"True but Layla's wouldn't. Chuck you are her world. No matter what you two face. No matter who you each date. You are her world. And what about Sophie. I know she loves you so much. You can't let her live without you. That will destroy her."

"They would both be better off without me. Someone who can be there like Carter"

"You and I both know that's not true."

A/N: So there really wasn't much from this episode for an out take but I had to put that Nate Lily conversation in because it bothered me that in the first episode of the season she asks for his help but then that's all they even show of that and Nate is Chucks friend he should know more. Also someone said that Nate should be more involved in Layla's life and even though they are upset he is still worried about how she's taking it. The Blair CHuck conversation. I watched this scene over and over to get the whole thing perfect and where I was going to enter Layla in. I think it shows just how much Blair knows about Layla's feelings.
