what happens

Serena's grandmother announces that Serena has to go to Debutante Ball. However, Dan is not what CeCe wants as an 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, Nate asks Blair to go to the ball with him. A jealous Nate begins to suspect that Blair is seeing someone else. Jenny finds herself having to make the decision of either attending her mother's art opening or following her dreams to the Debutante Ball, even though her parents don't want her to go.

how it went

Left to right is this episode — its opening to its closing minutes. This is the one span the comments were always describing.

FUN

how good a time it was

MEANINGFUL

how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Read from 34 comments — 4 said when.

The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 4 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Hover the curveDrag across the curve to see what people said at any point.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
