Contents 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Reception 3.1 Ratings 3.2 Critical reception 4 References 5 External links Plot The episode begins with a musical dream sequence of Serena ( Blake Lively ), featuring herself as Marilyn Monroe singing `` Diamonds Are a Girl 's Best Friend '' and Blair ( Leighton Meester ) as Audrey Hepburn. Everyone prepares for the wedding of Blair to Prince Louis Grimaldi of Monaco ( Hugo Becker ). Father Cavilla ( Marc Menard ) visits Chuck ( Ed Westwick ) to tell him the plan to ruin the wedding -- Father Cavilla will replace Father Smythe who will mistakenly have taken sleeping pills, and when he asks during the ceremony if anyone has any objection to the marriage, Chuck will tell that Blair is still in love with him. Though he first agreed on helping him, Chuck changes his mind because he does n't want to destroy Blair 's dream and only wants her happiness. Georgina Sparks ( Michelle Trachtenberg ), who has just come back in New York, then teams up with the priest in an act of revenge for everything Blair has done to her in the past. In the meantime, Serena continues to show an interest in Dan ( Penn Badgley ), even though he is still unaware of her love. Nate ( Chace Crawford ) reflects on his past failed relationships, while also taking an interest in Lola, who happens to be the real Charlie Rhodes. Blair ' s mother tries to dissuade her from marrying Louis but she does n't want to listen to her so she finds help in Chuck, who agrees to try to convince Blair to stop the wedding. Meanwhile, Georgina tries to seduce Louis and have her husband film it. Unfortunately, it does n't work as Rufus and Lily stop her. Before the ceremony, Chuck talks to Blair who professes her undying love for him - which has been filmed by Georgina - but still refuses to call off the wedding. During the ceremony, someone sends the video of the discussion between Blair and Chuck to everyone 's cell phones. The ceremony is temporarily suspended until Blair comes back to the aisle determined to marry Louis. As a result, she becomes Her Serene Highness, Princess Blair of Monaco. At the reception, Serena tells Dan how she feels about him but quickly leaves before he can answer. During their last dance, Louis reveals to Blair that it will be a loveless, contracted marriage. After hearing that, Blair runs away in a limousine with Dan at the wheel. At the end of the episode, the identity of Gossip Girl is seemingly revealed to be Georgina Sparks. Production We wanted it to feel big, something that would feel like it was pushing the buttons in terms of the core series mythology and core characters, but would also feel shocking and something that would really work as a springboard for the whole back - half of the season. -- Josh Schwartz on the episode 's storyline. The St. James ' Episcopal Church is the place where the wedding was shot. `` G.G. '' was written by Joshua Safran and directed by Mark Piznarski.

Critical reception The episode received generally favorable reviews. Zap2it wrote, `` Sure, Blair 's ( Leighton Meester ) been dreaming of her fairytale wedding since she was just a little girl. But it 's also true that producers of Gossip Girl have been dreaming of this moment for a long time as well. And the Upper East Side drama did n't disappoint. In fact, it was easy the best episode this season. '' Steve Marsi from TV Fanatic gave the episode a four stars rating out of five writing, `` In what has come to be sort of a make - or - break episode, Gossip Girl had a golden opportunity to redeem its recent mediocrity and prove itself worthy of all the passion and loyalty we 've invested over the years. While there were some gaping plot holes and disappointments tonight - especially depending on your couple of choice - you ca n't find fault with the pure number of twists, especially during the last five minutes. '' Marsi appreciated the references to Gossip Girl 's early days, `` The promised homages to the old days were there in spades, and incorporated in ways that actually fit the present - day story. Case in point : A memorable Gossip Girl quote ( '' I love you, always have, always will `` ) which was spoken to a very different character long ago. Also, the cover of `` Young Folks '' at the onset was fun. '' The Huffington Post 's Laura Prudom also found the episode had honored Gossip Girl 's past, `` For the first time in recent memory, this week 's milestone episode of Gossip Girl finally recaptured the confident plotting and razor sharp shocks of its first two seasons. '' She also praised the fact Georgina is Gossip Girl which was totally unexpected. The Hollywood Reporter wrote, `` In classic Gossip Girl fashion, the 100th episode was full of witty one - liners, many of them from the mouth of Georgina Sparks and one in honor of The Princess Bride ; paid homage to the pilot ; and featured several head - turning moments. '' Ology gave the episode a 9 / 10 grade. Digital Spy writer Catriona Wightman found the episode `` completely absurd '' but `` brillantly entertaining. '' Morgan Glennon of BuddyTV wrote, `` Despite how ridiculous it was seeing character after character after character try to save Blair from her own stupid decisions, Gossip Girl really knows how to do big events. After 100 episodes, the show understood that it needed to go big to top off the royal wedding storyline. So the wedding, and attendant quest to stop it, was as big, dramatic and heartfelt as Gossip Girl at its best. '' Glennon also conceded about the Gossip Girl reveal, the show can still pull out those OMG moments. Glennon found Georgina `` amazing '' in the episode, `` you ca n't even take your eyes off her because she 's so great in every scene. '' However, The Atlantic Wire thought the writers `` should have waited until the last - ever episode to do the unveiling '' of Gossip Girl and questioned, `` is n't that indicative of the show 's greater failings over these past four and a half years ? That constant need of this once - promising show to tip its hand too soon ? '' and concluded `` we think the time has finally come to remove Gossip Girl from our bookmarks.
