Contrary to what we had said in our evaluations of previous “Gossip Girl” episodes, we found that we enjoyed the season 2 finale much more than we expected. A lot of nothing happened this season and the characters barely grew as human beings.
A redeeming grace is the regular appearances of characters from the “Gossip Girl” original, with different messages each time, but also a certain level of self-awareness that the reboot might not live up to the original.
In each case, if we had to describe the entire season, we would describe it as uneven and unimpressive. We just found it hard to give past a certain point. The second season just isn’t it, while the first still had some energy. The conclusion is as follows.

‘Gossip Girl’ Season 2 Explained: Will Gossip Girl’s Identity Be Revealed?
Julien is disappointed that Gossip Girl didn’t come out as she expected after the event. As for Obie, he learns that Helena’s lawyer wants to defend Heidi, as they claim the firm needs her ruthlessness. He devises a strategy to help Julien after failing to find a solution to his own problem.
He gets a report on the Gossip Girl story being bought for a published movie. When Kate notices this, she ignores caution and arrives at the location posing as Gossip Girl. She tries to claim she only did it to help the kids after realizing it was a trap, but her actions continued for some time and she is imprisoned. The end of “Gossip Girl” as the young audience knows it is here.
Two months later everyone is on vacation in Rome, but Luna, Monet and Max are conspicuously absent. The community is abuzz with Luna’s campaign and her friends don’t know why she isn’t outraged. Since Luna won the campaign fair and square, Julien genuinely shows remarkable maturity when she tells them she has no excuse to be upset.
Phillip Price, a boy Zoya meets asks her out. They all claim to have met someone that day when she tells the group of friends. Could Phillip be the common factor? If so, Season 3 will reveal it to us. We also want to know more about Julien’s mother.
She meets Naomi, her aunt (or Mimi). She asks why she is not aware of her mother’s side of the family and asks for a conversation to talk further. Max, meanwhile, is kicked out of the club where he meets an enigmatic man. While his actions are motivated more by grief than anything else, it seems he’s returned to his riotous ways. Everything will come together in the coming season.
The Consequences of the Summit Reveal
“Gossip Girl” Season 2 Episode 10’s first scene recaps the previous episode. Nick Lott is still reeling from Helena’s arrest. Max told Aki and Audrey that he needed space after sleeping with Heidi. Aki and Audrey have found themselves wanting to be together despite their agreement not to.
Aki says they felt better when they forced Max to hang out with new people. Heidi tells Gossip Girl that Max spent the night with her to cause trouble. Kate loves her new power and feels invincible. Jordan warns her, but she’s high on something else.
Julien’s friends meet to decide on their next move. Julien apologizes for excluding everyone from her plans, which keep failing. She wants to help them achieve their goal. Roger Menzies, Aki’s father and media mogul, is chosen to help. Julien and Audrey reunite while he solves the problem.
Aki sends Gossip Girl a tip and link. After that, her account is accessible. Kate clicks the link before Obie can show her his warning. Kate turns to Jordan for help after understanding what she did. The group discovers an associate of Gossip Girl.
Heidi claims that traveling to Jakarta was a good idea when Obie and Julien returned home that night. Controlling the Bergmann empire was ruthless. Obie somehow used Julien’s phone to reveal his sister to Gossip Girl. Julien discovered that he wasn’t as smart as he thought.
The gang reconvenes without Obie, and they seem to understand his behavior. They want to take down Gossip Girl by revealing Zoya at the Met Gala, but they don’t hate Obie. After the account’s sensational self-disclosure. Julien was dressed like Taylor Swift, which we liked.
However, two Gossip Girl controversies were controversial. Monet claims Camille caused the union fiasco and Nick was blamed. After telling Audrey about her and Max, Heidi told Audrey about Audrey and Aki’s breakup with Max. He tells Aki and Audrey that the Max tip has made him want them more.
Aki and Audrey’s announcement shattered Max’s heart, so the damage is done. A man offers Julien and Luna modeling contracts on the steps of the Gala. Julien’s joke about Luna becoming her stylist angers Luna. Obie questions Gossip Girl and provides information about her sister. He even tries to film her confession live, but Monet’s lack of planning prevents it.
It was unpleasant but relaxing. Max leaves Aki and Audrey after realizing he is the outsider. Although horrible, we knew he would be happier without them. Zoya’s Gossip Girl debut ends the Met Gala. The escort attracts attention.

What can we expect from Season 3?
The first season of the remake attracted the most viewers. It was highly anticipated, demonstrating the loyalty of the original over the years. The pilot showed that this new show will fall short. The difficulty is that the previous edition was politically incorrect and featured controversial characters.
That show would not be possible in the current climate. Its attractiveness has made it a guilty pleasure for many. The decade since the series has seen many more groundbreaking shows. The reboot should have realized it was competing with its parent show and everything after that. “Gossip Girl” fans credit the first season for nostalgia. It would only appeal to the current audience.
The format of the new show– the problems of rich people spiraling out of control before being addressed at a huge party at the end of each episode – makes comparisons inevitable. This revival may be disappointed because the fans of the original have outgrown this kind of story and new audiences aren’t as interested in it.
Also, none of the new actors resonated with us. Julien, the main character, was so obnoxious that Serena van der Woodsen’s attractiveness made her watchable. Zoya’s second season had little to do with her and Monet was a useless caricature. We think the creators found Serena, but couldn’t find Blair, through Zoya, Monet, Audrey, and Luna.
We agree with Episode 10’s claim that “Chuck and Blair” is the greatest love story. The writers were limited by their lack of imagination, even though neither the original nor the reboot was intended to be taken seriously. Imagine if Gossip Girl had actually joined the scandalous lives of the rich instead of their innocent children.
Or if it had focused entirely on revealing their wrongdoings, like David Calloway, Camille de Haan or Heidi Bergmann, with their children’s lives thrown in. That would have been innovative and intriguing, keeping our interest and giving the showrunners the funding they needed for a third season. Since it’s implausible, Gossip Girl may not need a third season.
Untied threads lack interest. It is likely that this is why it has not been renewed and will not be. However, if we had to speculate on what a few more episodes might bring, we’d start by assuming that Phillip – possibly taking on another alias – was the one they all bumped into. Julien left Fendi.
Could this mean more fights between friends? Luna after Zoya and Monet? Obie must deal with changes in the home. Heidi’s revenge must be paid. Max is the only one whose actions interest us because he has always been kind and honest.
The biggest question is who will play Gossip Girl in a third season. After we lose his love, Jordan is our choice for revenge. That’s too obvious. The makers can try something new. The creators changed “Gossip Girl” by disclosing the name of the title character right away.
If there’s a third season, the creators may want to keep Gossip Girl anonymous and bring back some of its appeal. If it’s released, we’ll be watching it, even if we’re not thrilled. Since it’s that kind of show, let’s see if it gets canceled permanently.
