The final moments of the finale were where things got truly chaotic, however.
(Seems kinda conflicting, but hey!)
But Jules accepted it, so we’re sure mutual destruction is imminent.

JORDAN ALEXANDER: Yeah, I loved that.
I love how they changed it from the last one.
I was really shocked, but I was also like,yeahhhh.
Karolina Wojtasik/HBO Max
You haven’t donethatso let’s definitely do that.
I feel like it leaves it open because they could do anything.
I’m always amazed by their creativity and what they come up with.

It also makes the stakes really high.
If those teachers are caught, they’re losing their jobs and who knows what else.
They’re messing with some high profile people.

All the jail memes don’t appear to be getting to them.
Gotta send them directly to the Gossip Girl account.
As an actress, would you rather see her as her best or worst self?
How shocking was that when you find out?
I mean, that’s an understatement of what happened.
I was totally twisting his arm, like,tell meeee.
And I’m like, “What?!”
So I made them tell me and I was so shocked.
Amy, the makeup artist, and I were so upset.
We were like, “No, no!
This must be a mistake.”
But then we were like, “No, that’s the way it should go down.”
It’s sad because he [Kirby] is amazing.
Right, it was maybe even harder to watch because he’s a likable character.
It works that he’s charming, right?
They can be charming.
They can be funny.
They can be nice.
Were those intense, emotional scenes with Luke where Julien’s confronting him draining to shoot?
Do you feel like there’s a chance for a family reconciliation with Davis down the road?
Do we know if Luke’s coming back?
Luke, I want back.
I mean, Julien is kind of a tough cookie to just cut her dad off like that.
But I don’t know, she seemed pretty solid in her resolve so, we’ll see.
Okay, let’s talk about the finale.
First off, how much fun was it to get out of the city and film Upstate together?
I’m assuming all of that snow was CG?
Yeah, it was like August or something.
But it looks so incredible.
I even love how they colored it.
It’s this different setting.
It was incredible to be Upstate.
It was really cool.
It seems like you guys are a tight-knit group?
I love going to work and seeing those girls every day.
It’s a great time.
I feel very protective over them and also just really love and respect them a lot.
Love to hear that.
Do you hold out hope for them?
And do you, personally, want them to get back together?
I think they maybe should take some space because it just does not seem to be clicking.
One of the big cliffhangers was Monet stepping away from Julien.
How big a threat and nemesis do you think she’s going to be moving forward?
Is she rolling over?
No, no, no, no, she’s not rolling over.
That end scene was very much a power stance.
Gosh, that’s so interesting.
It would be chaotic but maybe we would be better for it…
Yeah!
You’re just honest and then it just is what it is.
Nobody has to go tiptoeing around anything.
I don’t know…
Potentially brutal, but maybe better in the long run.
Was it a blast to film?
All of the artists there, making the tableaus and pouring drinks in their mouths and dancing.
It was so incredible.
There was a lot of really great energy in the room.
What do you think Julien’s end goal is with Gossip Girl?
Or does she think that maybe she just is a bad person?
I was wondering that.
So maybe she’ll do that and then just be a bitch to everyone else.
Have you been told?
What does she want?!
What does Kate want?"
Honestly, that’s a great question.
I LOVE her and Tavi Gevinson is incredible.
Kate Keller, honestly, is one of my favorite characters.
Her comedic timing is incredible.
I just find her to just be so punny.
If you could play another character on the show, would it be Kate then?
I would love, love to play Kate Keller.
I love to play like a neurotic character.
Looking back at the full season, what is your favorite Julien fit?
Actually the green swimsuit/lounge outfit that I wore in episode 12.
It’s sparkly and I love anything sparkly and it was just so beautiful.
I loved wearing it.
Honestly, I keep just being like,is this real?
Is this really real?
Looking forward to season 2, what do you want to see happen for Julien?
I want the chaos.
Let’s see messy, let’s see passed out, let’s see bad decisions.
I feel like that will be fun to play and it will also be fun to watch.
A train wreck sorry, R.I.P.
