There was a screen shot of Gossip Girl with a picture from 2.25, in Nate/Noe's apartment, with Noe, Nate, Hope, Alex, Brooklyn, Thyra, Dylan, Wyatt, James, Zaya, Sadie, Blair, Chuck, Nate and Carter stood in front of the glass walls, a little further up than Marie, not noticing her behind them.

Gossip Girl: (voice over) "Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite."

From 2.19 "The Grandfather", outside the Vanderbilt Estate, Noe, Hope and Maureen were standing on the balcony over the field.

"I'm Maureen," Maureen introduced. "Politics is a Vanderbilt birthright."

"Alex's set to become an architect, and the only thing Nate's ever voted for is American idol," Noe told her.

On the field, Tripp tackled Nate to the ground while playing football.

Maureen: (voice over from 2.19 The Grandfather) "Tripp was the same way. Grandfather can be very persuasive."

From 2.19 "The Grandfather", in Noe's room, Nate and Noe were talking.

"Tripp may be a little creepy, but he used to have a crush on you when we were kids, you know?" Nate asked. "He was just a few years older, but he liked you, but you didn't like him, and it seemed like a huge deal back at the time since even a little crush seems huge at a time like that. But Tripp's happy with Maureen, I think."

From 2.19 "The Grandfather", at the Vanderbilt reunion, Tripp walked up to Noe, intentionally starting a fight between Nate and Noe when he told her this before Nate did. "You excited for Alex and Nate's big adventure this summer? I was talking about the internships at the mayor's office." Noe was confused. Tripp nodded, as if 'realizing'. "You didn't know."

"There must be a misunderstanding," Noe told him.

Tripp nodded. "Yeah. I--I guess there must be."

Noe walked away. Tripp turned and watched her go, watching the fight between Noe and Nate, smirking slightly, taking a drink.

Nate: (voice over from 2.20 Remains of the J) "Tripp started a fight between you and me."

From 2.20 "Remains of the J", at the party in Rhodes/Bass apartment, Noe and Nate were talking.

"I'm gonna apologize for that again, since I overreacted," Noe told him.

Nate tilted his head. "Noe, you have reason to. I mean, since the accident and the trauma, the doctors specifically said that you could react out of proportion to situations like that, especially if things come as a surprise like that. I was waiting for the right time to tell you about the summer internship, but of course Tripp took it into his own hands."

From 2.20 "Remains of the J", at the political office, Noe looked at Nate. "Since when did Tripp decide to run for congress? And should somebody tell him the election is not until next year?"

Nate chuckled. "After Congressman Kruger died, a house seat opened up in Manhattan. You know Grandfather. He figured, why wait?"

From 3.06 "All About Marie", in the political office, Alex looked at Nate and Harry. "What about the picture you gave PJ and Malchus?"

"They think they won the picture, and we left it there," Nate answered. "We have the real one."

"Why would you leak a fake photo?" James asked. "Are you trying to destroy Tripp's campaign?"
