Last night's episode was the show's most-watched ever, with 3.7 million tuning in. (Wait, what? It wasn't even a particularly good one!) It made the evening the CW's best Monday night ever! Hooray! Also, according to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, the boy who will become Serena's new "artsy-fartsy" Dan replacement is John Patrick Amedon. He looks, well, kind of like Dan but with long hair. What, is Dan going to date that proto-Serena from last night's episode now? [EW, Live Feed]
