it's 2020. nate archibald drifts from reading gossip girl to other online gossip and conspiracy blogs. he learns about adrenachrome and mounts his challenge to deblasio on saving the children. nate archibald is new york's first qanon mayor.

chuck is also absolutely qpilled, but he's trying to find all the secret sex clubs. he is furious that he's been left out of this conspiracy.

lily vanderwoodsen is drawn completely into save the children with absolutely no irony. serena knows it's bullshit but is trying to convince dan it's better to let her have this than to try to get together with rufus for the millionth time.

dan is an irony-poisoned lefty that likes to brag that he's not voting to piss people off but is phone banking for biden w/serena. serena wouldn't let him go to BLM marches because they were "too dangerous." he has an alt where he posts pig poop balls to women he hates online.

jenny loves to talk about her SHEEPLE relatives on deranged instagram stories. she still isn't wearing pants, and has a brand deal with that weird influencer tights brand i keep getting ads for.

vanessa is writing a memoir about her experiences being friends with these people and now lives in LA. her book will be immediately optioned for a movie with a lot of oscar buzz before fizzling out without even a golden globe nom.

blair has difficulty living in a new york where it's illegal to throw extravagant parties. she keeps telling chuck to stop showing her q drops but she also listens to qanon anonymous religiously. once she figures out how good the hashtags are for engagement, all best are off.

this all comes to a head when dan, smugly and correctly, tells serena that lily and blair are dangerously close to just genuinely believing in q. for once, serena's ability to create convoluted drama works in her favor--she vague tweets about relapsing and they all forget it.

nate archibald has his comeuppance once chuck figures out that there's no basement at comet ping pong. furious at being tricked into believing that politicians were freaky, he makes it his goal to un-pill nate, who has to make a clumsy public statement denouncing q.

rufus and lisa loeb are doing great!
