Meanwhile, with Louis and Beatrice gone, Blair goes back to bed and Dorota brings her saltine crackers. She also mentions to Blair that now that they're gone, she has time to figure out what she's going to do. Louis then enters the bedroom, followed by Beatrice. He explains that Beatrice didn't want her to miss her first holiday and Beatrice finishes by saying she had the priest move the celebration to New York at the local church. She also mentions to Blair that it's called a feast for a very good reason. Dan arrives at The Empire to see Chuck. He asks for his help but Chuck says no, that he's going out. Dan tells him not to, and that Blair's attention isn't worth puncturing a lung for, but Chuck says he isn't interested in Blair's attention. Dan says she is over Chuck, especially since he was the last person she kissed before Louis. However, Chuck then lets it slip to Dan that the last person Blair was with before she left with Louis was himself. Back in California, Ivy goes to see Max and says she decided she wants to go to Portland after all. She says that if they stay here, nothing will happen but if they go, Max has a chance to make his dreams come true. He agrees right away, and says he'll quit when the manager comes back from break. Ivy says she's going to go home and pack and leaves.
At the feast, Beatrice, Louis, and Blair arrive. Louis introduces Blair to Father Cavalia, the one who will marry them. He says he wants to get to know Blair and asks about her religious background. Surrounded by food, Blair begins to become nauseated. Beatrice suggests Blair try one of her favorite foods, a pastry filled with pumpkin, spices, and butter. Blair tries a tiny bite, and then spots Dan. She excuses herself to go talk to him and Beatrice says she can't even keep down one bite of food. Louis says that she's starting to sound like their mother, but Beatrice says she's just looking out for Louis and his well being. Blair reaches Dan, who tries to tell her about Chuck, but she just asks him to walk with her. Outside the Archibald townhouse, the woman from LA arrives and finds Nate, who has found out that her name is Diana Payne. Diana says she hopes the text from her to come back was actually from Anne, and that it read she had decided she could be interviewed. Nate says it was real, but a few details need to be worked out first. Diana suspects Anne thinks it will be a tabloid, but she'll be assured it's not. Nate asks if he's going to get a finder's fee for convincing her to do it. The two escape to a small alley and have sex. In California, Ivy arrives back to her apartment to find Serena waiting, and she says she knows what really happened with the money. At the feast, Blair heads into the restroom with Dan in tow and kicks everyone out. Dan asks if what's going on has to do with her sleeping with Chuck, and Blair is surprised he knows about that. Blair says Chuck told her to marry Louis and he meant it, and that whatever he's doing it isn't to get her attention. She orders Dan to guard the door and heads into a stall, and proceeds to throw up. Beatrice enters the room and Dan says she has to leave, as Blair is getting sick. Beatrice goes to get Louis. Blair then comes out and washes her hands. Dan suspects she's bulimic, but Blair denies it. Dan blocks her from leaving and says she can't until she agrees to get help. Frustrated, Blair reveals her pregnancy to Dan but realizes right after that Beatrice also overheard. She catches up with her and begs her not to say anything to Louis because it's still so early. Louis comes over and asks what Blair was going to tell him. Beatrice jumps in and says Blair suggested they let the homeless come in and dine with them. Blair corrects her, and says not to eat with them, but to be served like a soup kitchen. Louis agrees that it's a wonderful idea, and Dan gets a GG blast about Chuck looking to get beat up again. He leaves, but not before Blair reminds him not to tell anyone. He agrees not to, but says she can't hide it forever. In LA, Serena says the check must not have gone through because Carol cut her off. Ivy hesitantly agrees, saying she told her mom she wanted to make it on her own. Serena, looking at the small apartment, says Ivy has to come live with her. She also tells her that CeCe can call the bank and make it so Carol can't cut her off again. Serena then says she has to go meet her boss but she'll pick her up after they're done, and that she should pack.
