Like Hamlet and Maury, Gossip Girl is often about paternity. Is he my father? Is he not my father? Is my new dad poisoning my mother? Who's your daddy? So many important questions, so few DNA tests.

Serena and Eric finally got to know their father, Chuck got a little bit closer to being over his father's death, Blair got into the granddaddy of all New York Universities, Jenny finally gets a spanking from her real pop, and Dan, well, he shipped his earth mother off to Haiti and we hope that she dies there. With all of this fathering going on, the state of the Upper East Side power structure was in flux.

We should all feel abandoned because hot daddy Richard Lawson is currently toiling over his brilliant scribblings about the Real Housewives of New Jersey, so you're stuck with only Momma Moylan for the last three episodes of the season. Without further ado, let us see how everyone fared in the rankings this week.
