Summary
The return of William creates a rift within the join Van der Woodsen-Humphrey family. While Serena is eager to get to know her father and Lily believes she needs him for medical reasons while Rufus is obviously not so comfortable, and Eric is far less forgiving than his sister.

Because of Jenny's recent actions regarding Nate, Serena and Jenny's step-sister bond hits a road-block. Serena is determined to patch her family back together again, preferably with her father instead of Rufus. When she finds evidence that Rufus has been cheating on Lily, her last shred of common sense crumbles and tells her father to go after her mother. Jenny and Chuck find proof that William has been drugging Lily with a false prescription and tries to find out why and how.

Blair feels like she belongs when she visits the Columbia campus and even finds some minions to serve her like during her glory days as Queen B. Although she lies about going to Columbia and incurs the future minions' contempt, it turns out that Chuck had submitted an application for her. She tells the minions off and warns them that in the future she won't be so generous.
