[s1e7] Once Upon A Time In The Upper West -

"Once Upon a Time in the Upper West" is often cited as the episode that "redeemed" the first half of the season. Reviews praised the intensity of the dinner scene, noting it lived up to the legacy of the original show's famous Thanksgiving episodes. However, some viewers found the character of Zoya increasingly polarizing due to her "moral superiority".

The conflict between Zoya’s perceived entitlement to a relationship with Obie and her bond with her sister highlights the theme of choosing social gain over familial loyalty.

Julien and Obie spend much of the episode attempting to "cover their tracks" regarding their recent actions. Meanwhile, the teachers behind the Gossip Girl account face internal threats; Kate and Jordan receive an ultimatum from Rafa Caparros that could potentially dismantle the account.
