Dan acted really mad when he saw Jenny's cup and realized she sent the blast. But wouldn't he have already known she sent it as he'd received the tip from her? The only explanation: Maybe this was Dan receiving the tip, and not the blast. The only explanation: I have none here. The last few points suggest Dan was doing this to get in with Serena, but this throws a wrench in that theory.
There are a bunch of times where Dan reacts to Gossip Girl posts with surprise while ALONE, but I think this is the best example because it's clear that he's surprised at seeing the Gossip Girl post, and not at a tip.
He was with Rufus, but as he didn't tell Rufus about the post, there was no reason to act surprised here. Also, why would he run off to confront them after seeing the post, and not directly after he received the tip? The only explanation: He wanted to act shocked just in case Rufus later discovered the blast? This one was weird. If Dan was so disappointed in Jenny for wanting to leak news of her tryst with Chuck, why did he post the blast?
He later claims Jenny knew at that point about Gossip Girl, so it's not like he needed to do it so as not to blow his cover. And wouldn't he lecture her before posting the blast, not after, to give her a chance to change her mind? The only explanation: Dan was so narcissistic that he thought he was blameless for actually posting the gossip, instead blaming those who sent in the tips.
When Dan steals back his laptop from Serena, he has a ton of Blair's diary pages that Serena scanned and he starts releasing them as revenge on Serena. But this also hurts Blair and is one of the reasons their relationship ends. He was literally asking Blair to come to Italy and pretending he loved her, then an episode later when these came out he was all angry and didn't want her coming.
But he'd known about them the whole time!! Also, he didn't care about his relationship with Blair but then he spent half the next season pining over her, so I'm confused. The only explanation: When Dan talked to Noah and he said the novel would probably flop, Dan got worried and posted on Gossip Girl about it to give it publicity so it'd sell well.
He decided that he didn't care if his friends were upset. Maybe it was a reverse psychology thing? Honestly, we probably should've known it was Dan at this point since he got the only positive label. But I don't get why Dan needed to come for all his friends like that? The only explanation: He said it just to upset Serena, so he could swoop in and make her feel better. Joe, is that you?? Again, Dan posted this without any regard as to what it would do to Rachel's career. He also revealed creepy stuff about his little sister that I'm not even sure how he knew, then pretended to get upset about it like he hadn't known this whole time.
The only explanation: He was worried Serena suspected him to be Gossip Girl and wanted to make it seem like it wasn't him.
Or he just really wanted to brag about sleeping with Ms. Carr, and he didn't care if Vanessa or Jenny's secrets got out. It seemed like a really sweet moment when Dan, despite his feelings for Blair, could see how conflicted she was between Chuck and Louis and helped her run off with Chuck.
But then he posted on Gossip Girl that they were together?? Gossip Girl even had a dedicated Carter Baizen map with spotted. Number one, I guess spotted is a noun now? Like it had a spotted section. We learned in previous episodes that he left maybe graduated from high school a couple years ago.
How long has Gossip Girl been a thing? Since Serena is theoretically the reason this whole thing happened. He had a whole Carter Baizen map! Problem 2: Dan is supposed to be this master of manipulation. He set up this whole Gossip Girl plot that took 6 years to pan out. She makes your mother look like Gandhi. Now, on to things that sound ridiculous when Dan Humphrey says them. Short URL. The shot literally turns to Dan in his apartment A little coincidental, right?
Afraid not, since it was such a shocker when he was the one who turned out to be everyone's nemesis. Before viewers knew that Dan was Gossip Girl, it was made to look like his character was developing into the small circle of elite students because he was now attending the same school as them, but now, it makes sense.
It was shocking that Nate Archibald and Chuck Bass were even on public transportation, but was pretty normal as Dan lived in Brooklyn.
The way Dan hovers and lingers is a true clue to how he got the gossip early on. It was always so back and forth with Dan and Serena and like every other couple on the show. When they get into one of several fights, Dan took Serena's phone and keeps it overnight.
Before there were passcodes and touch ID's, it was more easy to gain access to a phone, which Dan did. The amount of contacts and personal information on Serena's phone was probably a gold mine to start digging on peoples' personal lives. Once the cat was out of the theoretical bag, anyone and everyone was buzzing about this mystery person and how they had so much information. All of Dan's friends and acquaintances were bringing it up, but somehow Dan managed to keep a straight face and claimed he never read the blog.
He also didn't seem to want to talk about it, which makes it seem like he's dodging the whole topic in general. One of the most obvious clues to suspect Dan all along is because he was included in the take-down.
Sure Blair and Serena got spotlighted a lot, but to nickname Dan and give him a reason for being recognized is huge.
