Gossip Girl was always at its best when the feathers were flying.

"The Treasure of Serena Madre" (Season 3, Episode 11)
Writers: Robert Hull & Joshua Safran
Director: Mark Piznarski
As hot as Broadway actor Aaron Tveit is, the character of Tripp Vanderbilt was always a bit of a dud and his affair with Serena was even worse. Paired with the never ending fighting between Jenny and Eric while they pretend they're on the best of terms for their families at Thanksgiving, this rather weak episode probably shouldn't be the first thing you Netflix.

"The Magnificent Archibalds" (Season 2, Episode 11)
Writer: Joshua Safran
Director: Jean de Segonzac
Nate is a character that had very little to do after the second season, probably because his father as a Bernie Madoff type of villian usually fell flat. But the episode is worth it for Jenny and Blair defanging for a brief moment to commiserate over their parent drama and Vanessa embracing her inner bitch (as an invited guest at the Humphreys' Thanksgiving dinner, no less) by stealing a letter sent to Jenny from Nate.

"It's Really Complicated" (Season 6, Episode 8)
Writer: Jake Coburn
Director: John Stephens
Dan and Serena throw their first Thanksgiving together as a couple, but he's managed to piss off all of his friends (as usual), so I doubt anyone is attending of their dinners in the future. Plus, any episode where Dan Humphrey (mere episodes from the reveal he's the sociopath masquerading as Gossip Girl) gets punched in the face is worth its weight in gold.
