The 55th episode of “Gossip Girl” is a particularly dramatic one. It begins with Serena and her married lover Tripp van der Bilt (Aaron Tveit) arguing and getting into a car crash. The episode then skips back to earlier that day, portraying the aftermath of the previous episode, (“The Treasure of Serena Madre”), which revealed their affair. They run away together, but from the moment Serena talks about their new lives together, it becomes clear they’re not on the same page. Hoping for an easier option, Tripp goes crawling back to his wife for a solution. Maureen (Holley Fain) comes up with one — she gets him in public, while Serena can have him in private. However, Serena refuses the offer, packs up, and tries to leave.
Tripp’s pleas and bad judgment lead to the aforementioned car accident. Tripp, afraid to be caught in a compromising position, calls Maureen again and they move Serena to make it look like she was driving alone. Thankfully, Nate knows what kind of behavior to expect from his cousin and is on his way to Serena when he finds her and accompanies her to the hospital, showing how much he loves her.
