S5E24 “The Return of the Ring” My favorite season finale. I love how each character branches out with their own personal issues, and how all of it inevitably brings them back together: Blair deciding to take over a new reign, Chuck seeking vengeance over his father, Nate on his Gossip Girl quest, Dan's promise of his boldest exposé ever, and Serena rejected by everybody, which makes her go back to her old ways. “We Are Young” by fun. makes it all the more grandiose.
