Series Gossip Girl — 2 season, 8 episode

Story

Jenny Humphrey finds a new source of confidence in Agnes, a young model who encourages her to take greater risks and stand up for herself. When Eleanor Waldorf makes plans to claim Jenny’s designs as her own, Jenny faces a difficult choice between protecting her work and embracing the rebellious new life Agnes has introduced.

At Rufus’s latest art opening, Serena and Dan arrive together as friends, though the evening becomes strained when Serena meets Aaron Rose, an artist whose presence unsettles Dan. Across town, Blair turns her attention to Chuck and attempts to seduce him, only to discover that he is far more resistant than she expected. Nate’s stay with Jenny, Dan, and Rufus brings another complication, as his growing feelings for Jenny begin to appear mutual.
