what happens
Vanessa uses the scandalous picture of Catherine and Marcus to blackmail Blair into being a nicer person, so Blair seeks revenge by enticing Chuck to seduce Vanessa. Lily and Bart throw an extravagant housewarming party and expect their children to make them proud in front of the attending press, but a rebellious Serena isn't ready to play by their rules. Meanwhile, Dan and Jenny discover a big secret that Nate has been keeping from his friends.

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 39 comments — 9 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 9 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.

- 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.
“some of the best tension-building and drama!”
