Gossip Girl Season 2 Plot
Season 2 continues up where season 1 left off, with Julien still in shock over her father’s “Me Too” moment collaborating with Gossip Girl in a situation that is nearly a lock to go south for both parties. Zoya is still an outsider and is working hard to establish her own life apart from the Constance It girls. Max, Audrey, and Aki start their polyamorous relationship and experience its benefits and drawbacks. Monet and Luna are scheming to seize control.
Will JC finally claim her right to the throne or will an unlikely challenger have to fight her for it? Will Noble O keep looking after last season’s budding romance with Grace or return to duelling sisters JC and Little Z?
