I really would’ve liked to have been in the writing room for the discussion about “Rumor spreads about teacher fucking student but they’re actually not fucking (and she’s not his teacher, so it’s kinda cool), and when they rumor is proven false, they actually do fuck” plotline.

“So, what do you think about it?”

“In a word: gross.”

“That’s what the kids want!”

“Nah, I think this is crossing a line. Like, isn’t he 17?”

“Oh. Shit. Is he? Did we establish a birthday? Well, he’s 18 now.”

“So, that makes him older than Chuck Bass because we had that whole plot point about Lily being his guardian so Uncle Jack doesn’t take the company?”

“Um…(can’t finds an answer to that) well, you seemed to be cool with the possibility of two people fucking who share a sibling.”

“…Damn.”
