Gossip Girl Series Finale Recap

Chair Happily Ever After: The episode picks up with Chuck and Blair running off after his father, Bart, fell to his death. Sorry, dude, but we're hoping your second brush with death actually sticks. You were kind of the worst. The cops are looking for the duo and their friends and family are covering for them. (Yay for the return of Eleanor and Cyrus!) Chuck and Blair meet up with his Uncle Jack (Desmond Harrington, as creepily awesome as ever) and Chuck admits he didn't help his father. "It was self-defense," Blair defends. "I don't feel guilty, but it doesn't mean that I'm not," Chuck says.

To protect Chuck, Jack says the two should get married so Blair can have "spousal privilege." "Every bone in my tired body wants to marry you," Blair says to a hesitant Chuck. "Chuck and Blair hold hands. Chuck and Blair go to the movies. You said you never wanted us to be boring; we definitely aren't now," Blair says to Chuck, referencing his infamous season-two speech. "Life with you could never be boring," Chuck says, before dropping to one knee and finally proposing.  

The pair bring their family and friends together for a quick service. Chuck brings back the pair's iconic "three words, eight letters," while Blair goes with, "One word, three letters: Yes!" Of course, their first kiss as man and wife is followed by his arrest and we'd expect nothing less from a Bass-Waldorf wedding! Alas, it ends a lot less dramatically than you'd expect: Bart's death is being ruled an accident. True love (finally) prevails!
