And nothing’s more maddening than learning this person we were made to believe was a girlboss is, in fact, not a girlboss! It’s truly some of the most sleep-inducing television I’ve ever watched. But instead of returning to some of her earlier story lines, about her dad’s new girlfriend or her breakup with Monet that happened literally a second ago, we’re forced to watch her meet with reps from Glossier and L’oréal to discuss potential partnerships with her dad. The writers understand that Julien desperately needs something to do. Julien says she has declined paychecks because her dad provides for her financially, but even the wealthiest nepto-babies, including literal babies, are earning their own coin posting detox smoothies and teeth-whitening products! It just doesn’t make sense that an attractive fashion influencer with enough clout to appear on TMZ isn’t raking in a single dime! It also doesn’t make sense that her power-hungry, social-media-savvy minions weren’t forcing her to collaborate with brands for her own image. This week, we find out that this alleged “influencer” has never posted any sponcon because she doesn’t collaborate with brands, which doesn’t add up on any level. Unfortunately, this show still has no idea what it wants to do with her or why she’s even the protagonist six episodes in.

Well, the characters who have storylines - which brings me once again to Julien. So bravo to you!Īlthough this week’s episode is still, um, not good, we can at least catch our breath with an hour that isn’t overstuffed with plot and that actually commits to carrying out the story lines it established earlier for our characters. Making it to the midpoint of this season is no small feat considering the amount of plot holes, aborted story lines, and lazy Serena and Blair references we’ve had to deal with. To those of us who have decided to stay on the rickety, unstable roller coaster that is Gossip Girl 2.0, for masochistic reasons, wanting to look at Luke Kirby in a bomber jacket, or otherwise: Pat yourselves on the back.
