<P> In response to these comments, Carina MacKenzie of Zap2it stated, "We're left wondering if Safran missed the part where she went home bleeding because Chuck was using physical intimidation to release his own emotions ." While reviewing the episode, Tierney Bricker of Zap2it felt that there were "really no excuses for Chuck Bass anymore ." MacKenzie concluded that Chuck's behavior throughout Season 4 fit the signs of an abusive relationship, citing examples from HelpGuide.org, a non-profit health resource . She noted Chuck's public humiliation of Blair, his attempt to pawn her during a business deal, and his use of physical intimidation . MacKenzie also called the show's explanation "disturbing, particularly given the young, female target demographic of Gossip Girl and The CW ." </P> <P> In a review for the Los Angeles Times, Judy Berman addressed Safran's description of Blair during the scene . "Considering how terrified Blair looked at the end of their encounter, and how quickly she got out of there, the show is sending a mixed message at best ." She went on to state, "We have no right to expect Gossip Girl to be a paragon of morality, or even realism, but the idea that true love requires taking a shard of glass to the face is disturbing even in this alternate, soap - opera dimension ." </P> <P> In the fifth season premiere, Blair continues to plan her wedding, but begins to encounter problems in her relationship with Louis . It is later revealed that she is pregnant . Blair tells Chuck that the child is Louis', and states that part of her wanted Chuck to be the father .

After the crash Blair decides that she must commit herself to Louis, converting to Catholicism and cutting off any connection with Chuck . At the wedding, Gossip Girl releases a recording of Blair confessing her love for Chuck . Nevertheless, Louis and Blair get married, making Blair a Princess of Monaco, though Louis informs her that they will have a loveless marriage of convenience . She then receives support from Dan, leading them to share a kiss on Valentine's Day . Amidst these developments, Blair grows conflicted between her feelings for Dan and Chuck . After taking steps to end her marriage, she chooses to begin a romantic relationship with Dan .
