Jason Gotay, Thomas Doherty & Evan Mock on Gossip Girl (2021)

This week's new episode of the HBO Max series Gossip Girl featured more nudity from cast member Jason Gotay. His character, Rafa, went out of his way to protect his student Max (played by Thomas Doherty) from himself after he went on a drug bender and disappeared after his last antics led to his parents splitting up. Rafa found his efforts met with more flirtations from the emotionally unstable Max, who found his teacher naked in the pool showers. The episode ended with Rafa again consoling Max, leading them to kiss, giving in to temptation as their shirts came off. The episode also featured a brief shirtless moment from Evan Mock as his character Aki also worried about Max going MIA. He checked his phone for replies from Max while shirtless early in the hour.
