I hate to say it but what if, and this is a big "what if," Rufus is Serena's father... If you look at her, you could some what see it... But then what would that do to her and Dan... Would GG writers be that twisted or just cruel in general?
The only thing to disprove this is their children and their ages... But still...
Any other ideas?

This was HANDS DOWN the best episode of the series. Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester gave Emmy worthy performances. Their scenes were heart wrenching and beautiful. Stephanie Savage also deserves much props for writing this gem. In the next episode, Bart's younger brother finds and returns Chuck to the UES after he flees the country in grief. As for Rufus and Lily, I think her secret is that she had an abortion because of how Rufus put it "WAS it a boy or a girl?" as in past tense, as in not existent. That would explain why he is so angry, he had no say in the matter. I could be wrong, and they could have a grown child somewhere... who knows? Though, if that were true, it would make Dan and Serena almost impossible considering they'd share a half-sibling. (yeck) All in all, fantastic end to the year. I know the Golden Globes and Emmy's will snub them, but Leighton and Ed deserve accolades for their work!

Actually, it's CeCe (short for Cecelia) not Sissy.

Ed Westwick, as well as Leighton Meester, have always been the strongest actors on the show - tonight just being further evidence of that. Blair will find him. She will not just sit there and listen to what he tells her in the letter. Since when does Blair listen and not do what she wants? I fully support the idea of Chuck, Blair and Dorota getting their own spin-off show. Leave whiny Serena, self-righteous Dan and cardboard Nate behind.

I can't believe that Lily finally admitted that she loves Rufus. And Rufus singing again the "LILY SONG/EVERYTIME". I understand that Lily doesn't want to tell Rufus about their child because all those 6 years and 6 months of waiting will come to waste. But now that Rufus knows I guess that he'll try to understand. I hate it when they are about to be together and spending their time together then something will happen like Serena telling her mom that she can't be with Rufus and Lily accepting Bart's proposal and NOW Lily has a child with Rufus. And Rufus seems not happy about it. I can't wait what will happen next in their relationship. I still both LOVE them :D

has anyone thought that Lily's baby was aborted? Rufus used past tense. If the child were actually a child, I think he'd go after it.

I knew that the big secret that probably was so twisted no one would want it to get out and that probably had to do with Rufus, probably had to do with a child. Now, I am also imagining this child thing is worse than abortion and worse than giving the child away: how about Lily had her child, but was so heartbroken (or crazed or something) that she was negligent and caused the death of that child; that would land her in a mental institution, to be kept hush, hush all these years; that would also be a (temporary?) deal breaker for Rufus (until he hears her side of the story?)

lah di da:
I think you are RIGHT on teh money!
Alot of people have been saying that maybe Chuck was the child (hence his significant line to Eric "we. are. not. brothers") but I think this makes so much sense. BFD - you had a kid and gave him up for adoption - Rufus would be mad at Lilly but would go look for him/her right away. And while giving a kid up for adoption might land a woman in the looney bin - it's not THAT scandalous anymore.

I don't that Chuck was the son that Lily and Rufus had because Chuck's mother died in childbirth. The only way that this would be possible is if people fed him the lie that his mother died in childbirth all these years when really Lily was his mother. But if Lily was his mother, then why would Chuck live with Bart? You might think that Bart adopted Chuck, but adopted kids would probably have a better relationship with their parents. Also, Bart would have had no reason to have a bad relationship with Chuck because his wife didn't die.
Possibly the theory of Lily causing the death of her child, but why would the Hospital in Paris have records of that? How could they get them and why would they want them? They wouldn't.
And the abortion theory, unless Rufus is a strong Pro-life activist, he probably wouldn't get as mad as he was at Lily for having an abortion. And let's face it, why would he have good Pro-life morals if he had pre-marital sex with Lily to begin with.
Somethings to think about...

we rufus did ask if it was a boy or a girl and its not like you know when you get an abortion you can only find out in the second trimester. has anyone considered that maybe she had the baby and it was serena? that would be gross though with dan and everything. maybe she gave it up for adoption and had to go to the looney bin because she had just given her child away. her mom seemed psycho back then too.

Post Partum Depression my friends. It's a nasty disorder. Woman has child, which explains her understanding of the sex of the child, and then gets depression and neglects or deliberately murders the child. This clearly explains the trip to the asylum and Rufus' reaction.

I also took Rufus' use of past tense to mean that the child was dead because of Lily having an abortion, which would explain why he would say to Dan that he would NEVER be with Lily.
