Gossip Girl Redux: Chuck's Mother Is Revealed! - E! Online (1)GIOVANNI RUFINO / THE CW

Poor Chuck (Ed Westwick)!

Yes, we're pretty sure these words were uttered by nearly everyone watching Gossip Girl tonight when our favorite Basstard was completely blindsided by a shocking revelation: the true identity of his mother! Yeah, the rest of the season just got 10 times more interesting for Chuck!

Plus, were Dan (Penn Badgley) and Blair (Leighton Meester) able to meld their two worlds together or are they just too different to make their relationship work? And who finally found out Serena (Blake Lively) is Gossip Girl? Here's what we learned in tonight's episode...

MotherChucker: The big secret everyone no one saw coming is finally out: Diana (Elizabeth Hurley) is Chuck's real mother! (Take that, season three!) Though Diana did everything she could to prevent Chuck from finding out the truth, this is Gossip Girl and the truth always comes out. We're pretty sure receiving a Gossip Girl blast isn't the best way to learn who your mother is and Chuck is understandably upset. (Props to Westwick for some truly awesome work tonight!)

"You have been in New York for months...banging my best friend, did it not occur you to mention this? I can't do this right now, or ever. I can't," a devastated Chuck tells Diana. The British bombshell visits Chuck later and comes clean: She had an affair with Chuck's father Bart, but decided to let Bart and Elizabeth, who was unable to have children, raise her baby as their own. Her explanation for sleeping with Nate (Chace Crawford) just a room away from her bio son? Diana says, "I didn't intend for things to get as serious as they did." Respect!

But wait! Turns out, being Chuck's mother isn't Diana's only secret! Hmmm...what dirt does Gossip Girl have on her?

Bitter, Party of One? Serena, aka the "Blonde Unabomber," is less than thrilled by Lola's (Ella Rae Peck) new It girl status and decides to go all Mean Girls on her cousin by posting a nasty rumor about Ivy on Gossip Girl, so she'll lose out on the audition of a lifetime. Of course, it doesn't take long for Lola to put two and two together and realizes Serena must be G.G. and thus begins her unapproved (by Nate) vendetta to out Serena.

When Serena talks to Diana about her role in saving Chuck's life at Blair's soiree, Lola records the conversation and posts it on Gossip Girl, including the part where Diana reveals she's Chuck's mother. Big mistake, Lola. Huge! Though she's glad she hurt Serena, Lola doesn't tell Nate that her cousin is Gossip Girl. "I knew it would hurt him if he found out," Lola later explains of not telling Nate about Serena's double-life, before revealing she's done with the UES. Nate loses another love interest? Shocking!

"Our relationship is our world...we have to face these disasters together. We're a team." So what does their sleepover consist of? Pretentious pillow talk about literature!
