Spotted!

Spotted: One Georgina Sparks, doing time for her crimes. Caught in the IPD holding cell, can it really be true that this UES bad girl has finally been held responsible for something she did? We never thought we'd see the day.

Of course, it takes a thief to catch a thief - but let's back up a little here. You want the deets and I've got them. It all began on Saturday when Georgina showed Octavia a certain video, the very one she's been holding over S's head for blackmail. If G hoped to scare O off with a little heavy petting, drugs and death, she picked the wrong girl. Don't you know, G? That's just the way those Romans roll. In fact, O turned right around and went looking for S to spill the news that Sparks can start fires, something our girl S has long since learned the hard way. The ensuing display of tears and trust was touching, but haven't we seen all this before? Looks like these girls have more in common than they'd ever thought.

Blackmail goes both ways, and it's hard to pay for someone's silence once she's started speaking. Finally prepared to fight fire with fire, S went to Chuck, Blair and little Eric to do a little telling of her own.* Attagirl, S. They may have their ups and downs, but one things for sure: no one messes with Serena unless they want to tangle with her friends. Blair washed her hands of the dirty work, but Chuck and Eric went hunting for evidence in the case against Georgina Sparks and came up with their hands full.* Coke, GHB and E, oh my. Didn't anyone ever teach that girl not to hide her secrets under the mattress? That's just sloppy, G.

On the word of three teenagers and a whole lot of drugs, John Sheppard brought G in for questioning about the druggings at Atia's party. We do love a man in uniform - or out of one. Not that G went quietly, but when has she ever? With so much working against her, G had no choice but to follow, and was thrown into a cell to await further interrogation. The IPD weren't the only ones with a few things to say to G, however. In just a few weeks, it turns out she's made more enemies than friends, and more than one of them had something to say about this shocking turn of events.* Returning to speak to Georgina again, however, Serena made a startling discovery. That's right, ladies and gentlemen: Georgina Sparks has left the building. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
