đź’‹ Episode Description:

Spotted: Serena van der Woodsen waking up in a hospital bed with no memory and a needle’s worth of deception in her veins. As secrets spread faster than a Blair Waldorf text blast, loyalties crumble, truths twist, and Thanksgiving turns into a full-course serving of manipulation. Looks like this holiday, no one’s giving thanks — they’re just giving alibis. XOXO.
