Ooh. (LAUGHS)

Fresh-woman?

Fresh-person.

- Fresh-princess!
- Dad, please. No.

Sorry, I'm just excited.
It's your first day.

It's another day,
no first anything.

Constance Billard is one of
the top 10 private schools

in the country, with one
of the best arts programs.

Full of the type of
people whose values

- I was able to shield you from...
- Kids are bad all over.

Even in Buffalo.

We had to leave.

And we couldn't pass
up the scholarship.

I mean, at Constance, my college
choices are so much better.

Say it with me, Yale Drama.

- And...
- Yes, she's a student there,

but I doubt I'll
even get to meet her.

You're not even sure
she knows I exist.

She's your half-sister,
she knows you exist.

Well then, I don't
want to meet her.

Because she never
accepted my friend request

I sent when I was 10.

Thank you for breakfast.

Bye, Dad.

Thought we were meeting inside.

We should have a

Zara, east of Lex only.

I don't know why I still
expect them to be nice.

I guess a year of
Zoom boxes fooled me?

That's only 'cause
you couldn't see

Oh, no.

First day of school and

The headmistress would like

JORDAN GLASSBERG: This
is why I bring a Yeti.

When the horde sets their alarms

to go off in unison
during a pop quiz,

I don't spill on
myself when I scream.

I could get you one.

(SIGHS) It took me an
hour to pick out an outfit

I thought they
wouldn't make fun off.

And it took them one
second to prove me wrong.

If Julien wore that, Urban would
be mass producing knockoffs

by third period.

They just pick on
us 'cause they can.

Because no one says not to.

And if you try to fail them,

between your laptop
and the office,

an F becomes a C.

And a C becomes valedictorian

and a top spot at the
Ivy of their choice.

This school produced
great people.

Caroline Kennedy,
Colson Whitehead,

Nate Archibald.

It's why I wanted to teach here.

REBECCA SHERMAN: It's
not like Nate Archibald

was such a saint
when we started.

- You went here, Rebecca?
- Class of '09.

Back when we still
respected authority.

Now, they can't be controlled
because we've ceased to matter.

Who needs an education when you're
famous for putting on your makeup?

- But you said Nate...
- When I was a student,

we lived under constant threat.

People like Nate
were scared straight.

How?

Yeah, I'd try anything
at this point.

It was this thing that
started freshman year,

called itself Gossip Girl.

Kind of like an
Orwellian Big Sister.

Kept tabs on students
it deemed important.

- Kept tabs?
- If she knew your secrets,

and she always did,

she told them. She kept
us all accountable.

People thought it was me,

but it was actually
one of my classmates.

- Dan Humphrey.
- The novelist?

I think I remember
reading about this.

It was ridiculous. I
wouldn't even read it.

Hope, been a few.

Since when do you
show up on time

for the first day of the school?

gave me a renewed interest

in the student body.

- She's not my sister.
- A DNA test would disagree.

She's just half.

- Mm, you have a sister?
- He was busy at Berghain.

And you promised
never to mention her.

It's a big deal, and we
should not pretend otherwise.

She enrolled and moved
here like some stalker.

And if it wasn't for
Headmistress Burton,

who gave JC a heads-up, we
wouldn't have even known.

Their dads hate each other.

MAX: Oh, I remember.

She's from when your mom
ran off on you and your dad?

Yeah, and if he
knew Zoya was here,

he would pull me out of
school or the hemisphere.

That's how angry he still is.

I can't believe she
didn't tell you herself.

Guys, it's okay.

She and I don't even
know each other.

We don't owe each
other anything.

And besides, I have everyone I need
right here, live and in person.

Family drama is so not my thing.

Did you get to the part

where she was princess

Or when a high school senior

RAFA CAPARROS:

a breeding ground for the

KATE KELLER: (SIGHS) Is
it really their fault

they inherited
power and influence

without any examples
of how not to abuse it?

You're defending them? After
what they just did to you?

GOSSIP GIRL: Spotted: Calloway
and her crew at Dumbo Hall

with a little something
extra, her sudden sis.

Sorry to crash the party, JC,

but I've got a pic that says

the thousand words
you've yet to utter.

Everyone knows, 15 years ago,

Mama Marion dumped DJ Davis for
a new life with Nick Nobody,

yet sadly passed before she
could see her daughters united.

Yet unite they have.

Though you wouldn't
know it to look at them.

Never met before?
That's the ruse.

Zoya's entrance to Constance

was signed, sealed,
and deceitful.

Or didn't you know? On
the Upper East Side,

scholarships aren't
granted, they're gifted.

What is this thing
talking about?

How should I know?

I got that scholarship
on my own, right?

- You didn't buy that for me.
- Of course not.

My dad gives money
to the school,

part of which goes to
fund the art scholarship.

He doesn't have time to
read the apps, so I do.

And since you have a
passion for theater...

Did you know when you
asked me to apply for it

that you would be the one
deciding who gets put forward?

Wh... what?

Did someone deserve
it more than me?

Why would you think someone else
deserves something more than you?

Wait, you two already
know each other?

- On purpose?
- Who cares?

Refresh, it's gone already.

Why would you lie?

We don't lie to each other.

If our dads knew, they never
would have let her move here.

OBIE: They just found out.

Didn't they?

- My dad's not on Instagram.
- My dad's publicist runs his.

And we are not your dad.

I know. It's just, I wanted
to make sure that we...

- That I...
- Liked me?

- No, that's not...
- MAX: Oh, oh, oh.

So you were afraid
that Z would be Z's.

I don't want to
lose my place here.

In fact, I can't... I can't
actually afford to stay here

without that scholarship.

So please, make it make sense,

who would do
something like this?

Students work in the office.

Someone is clearly
trying to fuck with me,

but it's nothing.

It's just gossip. We're fine.

It doesn't matter.

Nobody cares, right?
Do any of you care?

I'm gonna go.

You said you would
do the story first.

You could've told me.

- I'll walk out with you.
- Yeah.

(RAIN PATTERING)

OBIE: You know, what
Julien said is right.

I mean, the whole
Gossip Girl thing,

it's just somebody
playing a game.

It's a lot of trouble
for just a game.

I mean, creating an
account, teasing us all day,

and then dropping a bomb just
to publicly shame her and me?

(CHUCKLES) It comes with
the territory up here.

And if you have something
that people want,

you have something to lose.

Right? People try
and take us down.

They never can, though.

And you're one of us now.

- (THUNDER RUMBLING)
- Oh, shit!

- Shit, shit, shit, shit...
- All right, look, the C station

is just a few more
blocks up, all right?

And what happens when I get out
at the other end, where it's four?

I don't know if I have
to give this dress back.

I do live right there,

if you wanna just wait
it out with me for a bit?

- Yes, sure, okay.
- Yeah, okay, all right.

- Just for a bit.
- Great.

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

ZOYA: You have the whole floor?

Um, the building.

Uh, if you... If want
to give me your dress,

I can go hang it in the sauna
and it'll be dry in no time.

And then,

you know, you can just
borrow an umbrella.

Oh. Okay. Um,
where can I change?

If we get these floors
wet, my mom will kill me.

So...

I won't look.

You have my word.

Okay.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

Ready when you are.

Mm-hmm. I'll grab you a sweater.

I'm sorry Julien didn't
tell you about me.

I am too.

Not surprised, though.

I shouldn't...

I shouldn't say that.
You're her sister.

I am, but,

God, even I barely know her.

Sometimes it's just feels like
we're not even dating anymore.

Really, you know, like I'm just

this actor, and I'm playing
her boyfriend in her story.

When we first got
together though, it was

totally different.

That was way before she
got into any of that stuff.

And we were interested
in the same things,

she wanted to make
her mark on the world.

And now she just, like, tells me what
to wear and where to be and what to say.

She's making her mark, for
sure. Don't get me wrong.

I mean, she's got
a lot of influence.

You know, it's just it's

it's her world, it's not

it's not ours.

(SIGHS) Okay.

Two years ago, on my birthday.

I got this DM from
someone who...

- I'd only ever heard of.
- Mm-hmm.

She'd been mythical to me, and
then suddenly, she was real.

We DM'd and talked pretty much
every single day since then.

The Julien that I got to know

on the other end of
those phone calls?

Yeah, she's different from
the one that I met today.

More like the one you miss.

Which means she's
still in there.

What?

It's just, uh,

it's nice to hear someone
be kind for a change.

It's nice to feel
kindness for a change.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Well, um

the rain has stopped.

You should probably get your
dress before it shrinks.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yup.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

The only time I felt more gross
than standing here showing you these

is the moment that I
took them to show you!

I should be arrested.

They were standing
in front of a window.

- Anyone could have seen that.
- Anyone didn't. I did.

- You won't use these, right?
- I don't want to.

But

we're either in
this or we're not.

Olivia Jade gained followers
when her mom went to jail.

Exactly, her mom went to jail.

For Jules to rise above this,
she has to destroy Zoya.

Ladies, ladies, nobody's
gonna believe that gossip.

Zoya's a 14-year-old
nobody, and I'm me.

First she stole her mom,
then she stole her man.

If you want to
get back at Zobie,

I volunteer as tribute.

Oh my God, they're

- You need to do something.
- This shit ain't it.

I got us a regular Lyft,
we can talk in here.

- Julien, I'm so, so sorry.
- It's not your fault.

I feel terrible anyway.

I'm just so confused
about everything.

The whole school was
either staring me down

or high fiving me all day.

I've come up with a plan
to get us past this.

I did a little research
on Gossip Girl.

There were these
two best friends

she was obsessed
with forever ago.

It's kind of a badge of
honor that she chose us.

All we have to do

is take a page from the
Blair and Serena playbook,

and beat Gossip Girl
at her own game.

How do you beat an
anonymous troll?

Since no one believes
the truth, only the lie,

we have to lie in return.

We plan a public
showdown, nothing too big,

just where I look like
I get the power back.

And then everything can go
back to the way that it was.

Us, as the sisters
we're meant to be.

How do you get the power back?

JULIEN: I'm walking in the
Christopher John Rogers show

tomorrow at the Armory.

It's a big deal for
my brand identity.

And I'll make sure
that you have a seat.

But I'll forget to put you on
the list for the after-party.

And all you have to do is

make a scene when
they don't let you in.

Monet and Luna will take a
photo of Obie and I inside,

with your meltdown outside.

ZOYA: You really think Obie's
gonna go along with this?

JULIEN: He does things for
me. He's good like that.

But you should stay away
from him for the time being.

And we should stay out of
each other's way as well.

Just till the show.

Build the tension, you know.
Tease it, like Gossip Girl did.

Speaking of that devil.

- What are you doing?
- JULIEN: Tossing out the bait.

GOSSIP GIRL: You might have
noticed it's been all quiet

on the Upper Eastern front
for the past 24 hours.

Think the storm has
passed? Not a chance.

Sources tell us to keep your
eyes peeled at the Armory.

Who doesn't love a
fashion showdown?

I tried to warn her.

I mean, our group of friends

have known each other
since we were babies.

We have trust
and... and history.

So no new friends, ever?

AUDREY: I'm not saying
pull up the drawbridge.

I just think it is so terribly
odd that she lied about it.

Well, it's Julien's life.

I mean, whatever reasons
she had made sense to her.

I didn't book a session,

Hey, it's just... share in
