Did Blake Lively finally crack on the set of Gossip Girl?

I’m not going to take this opportunity to tell you why I watch Gossip Girl, or why you should watch Gossip Girl or what Gossip Girl means in the greater landscape of television (and it’s not meant just to take tweens’ money), but I am going to take this opportunity to expand on a SPOILER printed in this week’s Entertainment Weekly: Serena is going to go through another wild streak as Blair dates Nate again.

There, that might be vague enough for those of you that secretly watch. Maybe Serena will cut through the crap and ACTUALLY kill someone this time?

Here are some set photos of Ms. Van Der Woodsen getting the bracelets and Blair/Nate (Leighton Meester/Chance Crawford) look on…giving her the thumbs up?
