Visually, "Roman Holiday" is a triumph. While the show is known for its fashion, the "White Party" hosted by the Bass family is one of the most memorable aesthetic choices of the entire series.
Gossip Girl Season 1, Episode 11: "Roman Holiday" – The Threesome That Wasn’t and the Blair You Forgot
Just when we thought the Thanksgiving trysts were over, the CW dropped Episode 11 on us like a champagne bottle on a marble floor. Officially titled "Roman Holiday," this episode isn't about Rome. It’s about the fall of an empire—specifically, the crumbling of Blair Waldorf’s sanity.
We pick up with Serena trying to be a good friend (her first mistake) and Jenny Humphrey trying to be a social climber (her only personality trait). But the real juice comes from the weirdest love triangle this side of the Hudson: Dan, Serena, and... Blair?
Yes. In a move that shocked no one and everyone at the same time, Dan Humphrey finds himself in the crosshairs of Blair Waldorf’s revenge scheme. After the "Sorry, I cheated with your best friend" conversation, Blair is broken. And a broken Blair doesn't cry into a pint of ice cream; she schemes.
