Winner #1: (From "It's a Wonderful Lie") No Contest - Sparkle tux! Sparkle tux! Sparkle tux!
Winner #2: (From "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?") He was in mourning all episode (lots of black suits, black overcoats, etc.) so I'm giving the win to the artfully disheveled hair! May not look like much, but for a character who lives and dies by the amount of brillo cream in his carefully slicked hair, this represents an entire character arc. (Psst - it clues us in to his grief - get it?)
In all honesty, I absolutely loved this episode. Yes, Chuck looks like a maniac, but the performance was great (a very Chuck reaction to grief), it featured some progress on the Chuck and Blair front, made me hate Serena and Dan a little less and a little more, simultaneously, and revealed that Rufus and Lily have a secret love child out their somewhere! Can't wait to see what happens next. (Jacob at TWoP wrote a great recap of the episode if you want to read it here.)
It also gave me these beautiful moments:
Blair looking radiantly happy at her mom's wedding
Blair and Nate coming together to help Chuck (we seriously need more scenes of the three of them together - Nate has been isolated all season so far - not good!)
Blair finally says "I love you" and Chuck looks terrified
The hug heard round the world - about damn time!
And Eric - just because he's the most awesome character on the show!
Now onto more pressing matters - SERENA'S WARDROBE:
I know Blake Lively is hot, and has one of the most magically, naturally beautiful bodies to come around in quite some time. She's vivacious, tall, curvy, has quite the chest and ass, and looks like she eats and is healthy. Kudos! But practically every costume over the season has made it a point to showcase either her bust or her legs, and more often than not, both. Yes, Serena Van der Woodsen is a free-spirited dish, but she's starting to dress a tad trashy and I'd like it to stop.
The evidence:
This is her go-to top design.
She was actually trying to piss off her step-father here, but still...
This is the top and bottom of the dress she wore to her boyfriend's father's wedding. A tad too short, do we think?
Again with the too much cleavage.
Actually a lovely top and jacket, but I think the plunging neckline is a little inappropriate for her Yale interview with the Dean.
Thanksgiving in a skirt short enough to see her peek-achoo. 
And this was the dress deemed fitting for her step-father's funeral. At least she wore a coat most of the time.So what do you say - am I overreacting?

Blair & Chuck! I am completely addicted now. He came back for her....but then he left her in the middle of the night!?!? wtf!
I KNOW!!! They are so the best part of the show. Those were two of the biggest shipper moments ever! I'm sure he'll come back to her again...once he gets himself out of that opium den. Could take awhile.
