Lorelai’s joke about putting Paris and Emily in a room together is funny because they literally were just in a room together, for half the last episode 🤣. Guess Lorelai blocked it out already. Tbh although she blows by it, I give Emily some credit for acknowledging that Lorelai works hard. I don’t feel like she always has.

To answer your question about homeowners insurance. No, infestations are rarely (if ever) covered under a policy. I used to work in the homeowners department of a major insurance carrier and a very common question asked by policy holders was if damage caused by bedbugs were covered. Loralei was definitely being way more emotional than practical about the termite situation. I know she didn't want to be further indebted to her parents but hey, sometimes you don't have a choice when it comes to fixing a huge problem. Being an adult sucks like that.

I have a hunch that this might have been a script that has been sitting a while. It didn’t have Jess, had forgot Emily and Paris had met and not mentioning the inn. I also wondered about how they would afford the inn. Back then it was easier to get a small business loan then it would be to get a loan for these repairs because you would have a plan for additional income. When I started my small business in 2002, I got offered a lot of financing well above what I would ever need at that point. Of course, this was pre-housing crisis

The comment section thinking you “hate” a character because you notice their flaws is something every reactor gets. Be glad this isn’t a younger skewing show 😂

Emily will always finish a kind gesture with a manipulation. That ending was such a classic Emily move. Lorelai always waits for the catch when it comes to her parents, and they always proof her right. Love Emily as a character, but she would be terrible to have as a mother. I have grandparents who do the same (i.e. leveraging desperately needed financial help to exert control and emotionally manipulate) and so I get Lorelai's absolute refusal to ask them for help unless desperate.

Coming from the UK to Texas was quite the eye-opener insect-wise. This week we are mostly under siege from June Bugs, which are cuter than the rest of the locals... > Yes, Vermont does have termites, primarily the Eastern subterranean termite. These termites are known to cause damage to homes and other structures, particularly in areas like Burlington, Rutland, and South Burlington. They are most active during the spring months, swarming from March to May. Here's a more detailed look: Eastern Subterranean Termites: These are the most common termite species in Vermont and are known for their destructive habits. High Risk Areas: Areas like Burlington, Rutland, and South Burlington are considered high-risk zones due to the prevalence of Eastern subterranean termites, according to www.termite.com. Swarming Season: Termites typically swarm during the spring months, particularly from March to May. Damage Potential: Eastern subterranean termites can cause significant damage to wooden structures, including homes, businesses, and even living plants, according to Orkin. Signs of Infestation: Look for signs like buckling wood, swollen floors and ceilings, areas resembling water damage, visible mazes within walls or furniture, and a mildew or mold-like smell. <

Lorelai is extremely deeply flawed character, one who tends to bulldoze over her flaws with eccentric wit. It is actually unfair to the character to be too precious with her as opposed to being hard on her when she deserves it.

Luke seems more like a The Room guy over a Rocky Horror Picture Show guy.

After you finish Gilmore Girls in a year or three you need to watch Bunheads, the show Amy Sherman-Palladino did between Gilmore Girls and Maisel. It has a whole thing about insect damage to property.

Peter

Rory is absolutely torturing Paris.

Wouldn't have pegged Sookie for a Tarot reader...

Spraying water all over your porch will just make an ice patch, Mrs. Kim!

You didn't recognize Madness (the music playing during the cheerleading)? We have work to do.... :D

It's funny we don't get a punchline for the SATs plotline. Maybe it'll continue in a later episode, I truly don't remember.

We probably have pretty similar lack of large/frightening/dangerous bugs here in the northeast US to the UK. Brown recluses and black widows do exist but are rare to see. Scorpions are probably the #1 reason I couldn't ever move to the US southwest, I've seen a few smaller ones when I lived in the southeast (only in Florida or southern Georgia, not Atlanta where I actually lived) but nothing like the bigger ones in Arizona or Texas, they are by far the animals I have the most irrational phobia towards. I trace it back to the PBS show Second Voyage of the Mimi starring a very young Ben Affleck where I first learned of scorpions existing right before a character gets traumatically stung by one.

Bedbugs seem to be making a (deeply unfortunate) comeback after being almost a nonissue in the US for decades. I know people who lost tens of thousands worth of furniture, clothes, etc in recent years.

The SATs changing to scoring out of 2400 for a little while was pretty weird because I took them while it was still out of 1600 but by the time my youngest brother took them it had changed, so we couldn't even compare. Now it's back to 1600 again. I'll just say I did pretty well but not as well as Rory's PSAT score here. Though I did beat her on the verbal :) I watched the first couple episodes of Supernatural and couldn't get into it, but from what I've been told they kinda finished the story in 5 seasons and just kept it going unnecessarily after that.

And for those here who aren't American, the SAT scoring changing was a big deal because it's been a huge part of university applications in the US for generations; the scoring was the same even when my parents took it in the 50s and 60s so it changing in those few years in the early 2000s between my highschool years and my brother's was a huge shift.

Yep, One Step Beyond by ska-band Madness :) Hey funny, their other big hit happens to be "Our House in the Middle of the Street" who's kind of a "nostalgic" song about a family house full of memories. "Our house, it has a crowd There's always something happening And it's usually quite loud Our mum she's so house-proud Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed Our house, in the middle of our street Our house..."

Notice how Emily is apparently quite the coffee-lover too :)

That's a really good point. Although Emily turned out to have a minor ulterior motive after all (club meetings at the inn), she was otherwise pretty great in this episode.

Youtalkingtome
>>171011686

Thank you! That really helps clear up that dilemma. And I agree with you. It's just my opinion, but Lorelei did ask her parents for help with Rory's education. I don't think it's much more of a leap (despite what Lorelei says) to ask for the same kind of help keeping Rory's home standing.

Youtalkingtome
>>171020918

You know, Paris has taken such gloomy pleasure from torturing Rory throughout the show, I am completely fine with Rory enjoying a little minor revenge (and there is a big difference between actively trying to make someone's life hell and just not sharing test scores with your nemesis). Go Rory!

Youtalkingtome

That was my immediate thought as well: your porch is now a death trap and you probably ruined your hose.

I would honestly love it if it is infrequently mentioned in passing as still eating at Paris for the rest of the season.

It was a really weird choice. College Board just made it harder to compare and assess the test scores for a time.

The first loan from her parents cost Lorelai huge (in her mind). She really didn't want to go back dipping into that well. The eventual solution was excellent on the surface. However it does beg the question how Lorelai will be able to pay the money back to the bank, it sounds like all the lenders believe the maths is impossible. Which in turn means the dream of Lorelai investing in her own inn should be dead unfortunately.

David En-Griffiths

I don't think there's a particularly good reason for banks to refuse Lorelai loans except that the narrative requires it. Though, I suppose, if we wanted to try to come up with a reason, the collateral being the house that has the structural damage could be a little risky from the bank's perspective but ... honestly, that plot would have to be worth in excess of $20,000 required to pay off the loan, even if the house fell down. I do think that introduces the possibility a business loan would be treated differently. Two structurally sound homes as collateral, plus a business plan and personal investment to start? Maybe. There was a lot of easy credit pre-2008 :P.
