"Blair Waldorf is not impressed by her mother's plans to vacation in Oahu with her family over spring break. Although her younger brother Tyler and stepbrother Aaron are exccited, Blair is so over surfing and hanging on the North Shore. And she doesn't want to spend any time with her lame stepfather, Cyrus Rose. And why is her pregnant mother sporting Juicy couture track suits and acting like a woman half her age? Serena is still bumming out over being dumped by her boyfriend Aaron. The younger girls at Constance Billiard School for Girls are still gossiping nonstop about the exploits of Serena and Blair. The latest rumor is that Serena had a baby when she was over in France and that she and Blair are a lesbian couple. Nate's new girlfriend, Georgina Spark, is currently in rehab in Greenwich, Connecticut and totally obsessing over Nate. Vanessa is still urinated at Dan for cheating on her with poet Mystery. Jenny has a new boyfriend Leo, who isn't all he's pretending to be. As spring break approaches, Blair bails on her family and heads to Sun Valley with Serena. Nate and Georgina also head to Sun Valley where they run in to Serena and Blair. Could it be that Nate is still in love with Blair?"
