<P> The way we viewed it, I think it's very clear that Blair is not afraid in those moments, for herself . They have a volatile relationship, they always have, but I do not believe--or I should say we do not believe--that it is abuse when it's the two of them . Chuck does not try to hurt Blair . He punches the glass because he has rage, but he has never, and will never, hurt Blair . He knows it and she knows it, and I feel it's very important to know that she is not scared--if anything, she is scared for Chuck--and what he might do to himself, but she is never afraid of what he might do to her . Leighton and I were very clear about that . </P> <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 . Dan becomes Blair's confidante and is shown to be in love with her, though she remains oblivious to his feelings and states that there is nothing more than friendship between them . </P>
