'Gossip Girl'

It's the beginning of the end for the Upper East Siders. The series' final 10 episodes begin with Blair and Chuck (Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick) once again in the throes of some kind of relationship; the gang searching for a missing Serena (Blake Lively); and the possible reveal of the heretofore unseen title character. XOXO kiddos. Season premiere, 9 p.m. Monday on the CW (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
