Blair and Chuck both set their sights on a particular item up for bid at Sotheby's Art Auction and the personal stakes are high. Blair needs the painting to be accepted into a prestigious society and Chuck needs the painting to impress a man he is trying to make a deal with after Serena sold him out during a meeting the previous week. Meanwhile, Serena suspects that Carter may be up to his old habits again and is using her. Georgina takes an interest in Dan, and Vanessa begins to suspect that something isn't quite right with Scott when he avoids questions about his background and continues to be inquisitive about both Dan and his father Rufus.
