Gossip Girl: Hi, Society

Serena has absolutely no intention of attending the upcoming Debutante Ball, until her manipulative grandmother, CeCe, announces that she won't take no for an answer. Unfortunately, Dan isn't exactly what CeCe had in mind in terms of a suitable escort for Serena, and she makes her opinion heard loud and clear, causing a rift between Serena and Dan. Although they are officially broken up, Blair and Nate decide to go to the ball together as friends, but they're back in each others' arms by the end of the night. Jenny finds herself torn between attending her mother's art opening or following her dreams to the Debutante Ball, even though it's against her parents' wishes. Rufus learns the real reason Lily broke up with him all those years ago: CeCe threatened to cut off her inheritance.
