At the funeral reception, Lily tries to console Chuck but he rejects her and says he blames her for Bart's death. She also listens to the last message Bart left her: where he reveals he knows the real reason she spent a few months in a hospital in France. The morning before his funeral, Lily meets with Rufus and vents about her feelings on the whole thing. On his way to confront her, he dies in a car accident ( It's a Wonderful Lie). At the Snowflake Ball, Chuck sees Lily with Rufus and calls Bart, who is on his way back from a trip to Florida. This begins Lily starting to distance herself from Bart and grow closer to Rufus, despite Bart asking her to give him a chance to change. She leaves with them before dinner and ends up spending the holiday with Rufus, Dan, Jenny, and Vanessa Abrams ( The Magnificent Archibalds). On Thanksgiving, she is even more shocked to learn that he had both Serena and Eric investigated, as well as having files on them. In The Serena Also Rises, Lily is shocked to learn that Bart had her thoroughly investigated by his PI and he has dossiers about her written up. He tells her that she made her choice to be with Bart and she needs to do that ( The Ex-Files). However, Rufus has begun dating again and isn't too welcoming to Lily wanting to be his friend. She marries Bart and plans to spend the summer renovating her penthouse.Īfter returning from several trips with Bart, Lily realizes she misses Rufus. Before the wedding, Rufus comes to see her and wishes her love and luck. In Much 'I Do' About Nothing, Bart asks her to let Rufus go and she agrees. Later that night, she ends up attending Rufus' band's concert and they sleep together despite her wedding to Bart being the next day. However, she quickly backtracks her decision when she learns the whole story from Blair. Angry, she tells Serena that she is planning to ship her off to reform school. While looking through her room for evidence, she finds a tape Georgina made and believes it is a sex tape. In Woman on the Verge, Lily receives a call from the Waldorf's maid, Dorota Kishlovsky, and hears that Serena is doing drugs again. However, she gets over it after talking to Rufus and she tells Eric she will always love and accept him. In All About My Brother, Serena's frenemy Georgina Sparks outs Eric as being gay, and Lily's shocked reaction leads Eric to believe she doesn't care. At one point, they decide to try again at a relationship but Lily backs out after Serena asks her to, due to her relationship with Dan ( School Lies). Around the same time, Rufus and Alison decide to divorce and he and Lily begin speaking again especially when he needs advice on how to parent his daughter, Jenny. Soon after, Bart proposes to her and after a brief hesitation, she accepts his proposal ( Roman Holiday). However, she soon realizes she still harbors feelings for Rufus and is hurt when he cuts her out of his life when his wife, Alison, returns from Hudson, New York ( Blair Waldorf Must Pie). They begin hanging out again and she uses him to make her new lover Bart Bass jealous ( The Handmaiden's Tale). She also reconnects with her ex, Rufus Humphrey when she learns Serena is dating his son, Dan. She does eventually let him leave ( Dare Devil). She also attempts to keep Eric in rehab for as long as possible, partly due to her wanting to keep the whole thing under wraps and partly due to her being scared of his freedom. It's revealed that instead of telling anyone that Eric is in treatment she is saying he's staying with her sister, Carol, in Miami, Florida. Lily is introduced in Pilot, when Serena returns to New York from boarding school. Not much is revealed about Lily in the novel series, other than she is the mother of Serena and Erik and that she is married to William. The majority of Lily's storylines on the show surround her relationship with her children and her husbands, namely Rufus, Bart, and William, as well as her mother and sister. Before her marriage, she dated Rufus Humphrey and gave birth to their love child, whom she gave up for adoption. She later attended Brown University before marrying William van der Woodsen and moving into a penthouse on the Upper East Side. After being expelled from school, she moved to Los Angeles to live with Carol. She also lived in Manhattan as a child, briefly. She grew up in Montecito, California and lived on a ranch there before beginning The Thacher School in Santa Barbara as a teenager. Lily is the daughter of music executive producer Rick Rhodes and Celia Rhodes and the younger sister of Carol Rhodes.
