Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) is the former “It” girl who returns to New York after leaving suddenly a year earlier. She tries unsuccessfully to revive her close friendship with Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). Serena and Blair’s boyfriend, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford), had had a brief affair before she left.

Serena does find an ally in Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) and his sister Jenny (Taylor Momsen) who can’t compete economically with their classmates.
