Monday night, Gossip Girl made a theatrical debut after a six week hiatus, setting up all the backstabbing intrigue that will take us through spring, with a modernized jaunt back in time to Edith Wharton's "Age of Innocence." The troubled Constance and St. Jude's seniors put it on their senior play, and couldn't help injecting the drama with their signature soliloquies of upper-class agony. And whose agony could rival poor Blair Waldorf's? We finally saw the fall-out of Blair's "black ops" mission against Miss Carr: her acceptance to Yale was revoked, her secrets were blasted all over Gossip Girl, and the cold, hard truth was shoved in her face that her life isn't perfect, and her peers aren't jealous or sympathetic. They hate her.

Now the CW has released promos for the next episode, "The Grandfather," which will finally bring to light a situation that us spoiler-seekers have known for weeks was in the works: Nate and Blair, at it again. And not just any Blair--this is bad Blair. And not just the regular bad Blair--this is my-dreams-are-crushed-because-I'm-not-going-to-Yale-and-everyone-hates-me Blair. This is nothing-left-to-lose Blair. Sure, bad Blair isn't exactly new... but it is truly terrifying.

Two promos for Monday, plus plenty of pictures from the next TWO upcoming episodes, after the jump.
