With the premiere of Gossip Girl only days away, it’s now time to get everyone up to speed.

If you’re not currently a fan - or if you’re a bit hazy on last season’s details - you can find a very quick recap after the jump. If you already know the difference between a Waldorf, a Humphrey and a Bass, you can just focus on the first five minutes of Season Two below.

(NOTE: We’re already getting our first glimpse of Nate’s new cougar!)

If for some reason you miss an upcoming episode, don’t fret. CW - realizing the error of its ways - has agreed to put free episodes of the show back on the network’s site.

Gossip Girl returns next Monday at 8pm.
