Chuck himself appears to be missing. When Jack arrives, Blair questions him about Chuck’s whereabouts. Jack ignores her and introduces her to some senior members of the board. Blair smiles, exchanges pleasantries, and demands Jack to tell her where Chuck is. Jack says he might still be hard at work in his office, and suggests Blair take the senior members with her. Blair leads the senior members up into Chuck’s office. When Blair opens the door, Chuck is at his desk disheveled with two women in lingerie. The senior members are disgusted, and wonder aloud why the late Bass ever put Chuck in charge. On the other hand, Blair is heart broken. She turns her back on the scene, marching downstairs to the brunch. Chuck follows downstairs, obviously confused. He fights with Blair, telling her he does need a wife, and she needs to stop trying to help him. Blair leaves. Jack reveals that the board has put him in charge, because if Chuck broke the morality clause his father had put, then the board could dismiss Chuck and put another in charge. Chuck realizes his uncle has been plotting against him all along. Chuck goes to Blair begging for forgiveness, and telling her that he was set up. Blair refuses to give him yet another chance, telling him it’s over, and he has no one to blame except himself. She throws the bouquet he brought her at him as the elevator doors

Celebrity culture heavily relies on qualities of manipulation. This was done through thru burn book, etc…

    Now we know for certain what some of you suspected last week: Chuck likes Blair. As in, really likes her. To the point where he can't sleep, he can't stop thinking about her, and for the first time he feels this unfamiliar "fluttering" feeling in his stomach. It was surprising how vulnerable he let himself be in front of her. I loved Blair's reaction to that, when she was finally waking up…

Chuck got a pair of ice skates, with these he used the laces and bubble wrap from the package. Chuck used these to wrap a wound on his leg so he wouldn't bleed out. The blades were tied to a stick and used as an axe, the toe of the blade was used to carve holes in coconuts to drink and to chop wood for his boat and to make a fire. The waves also gave him a package, containing a volleyball with a card saying “The world is a beautiful place”. Zemeckis showed this and then Tom Hanks face of him reading the card. This card was ironic, because people think of islands as paradise. However, Chuck was on an island and found it anything but paradise. Chuck keeps the volleyball and paints a face on the volleyball with his bloody hand and makes a smiley face.
