Say it again, but slower and with your pants off!

That confrontation scene with Emily and Lorelai in the diner is so satisfying!! Particularly after hearing all the vile things Emily said about Luke to Richard, refering to him as a 'filthy diner owner' and an 'imbecile'. And again her self righteous attitude and desire to manipulate and control Lorelai's life was on full ugly display. She sooo deserved that slap down she got. Kirk and Michel in this episode are both so childish and annoying! I know, so many fans love Kirk for his 'quirkiness', but he just grates on my nerves sometimes and this episode was one of those times. I was curious to see how you'd react to Logan's jealous behaviour at Finn's party and I liked your take on it. It is definitely a twist in the writing on what you might have expected, that he is realising he maybe doesn't want to be just casual with Rory anymore. Has he caught feelings ??? I'd say yes. And yes that party was so fun. Finn will always be one of my favourite characters, Robert was a nice enough guy for Rory to be on a date with, although his life goals are questionable 😂 and Colin is still being an insufferable jerk. Of all the males in this episode, Luke is the MVP in all his scenes but particularly in the face of Emily's wrath, so calm in how he engaged with her and 'i gotta say suddenly big fan of the speed dial.' is the best line.

Robert's been clocking Rory since the poker game, he was low key flirting with her while talking trash to Logan so him asking her out made sense. I found him weirdly interesting and it would've been funny if she'd dated him a bit more as Logan unraveled. The Lukelai reunion was sweet. I kinda wish we'd gotten more of them talking through what went wrong but I'll take it. Emily was very Lady Catherine de Bourgh this arc.

Still advocating for the guys to watch the P&P miniseries . . .

I love the Kirk thing so much, not because of what it is, but what it continues to say about the town; that it is such a tight-knit community, town-folk will, without a second thought, say something like, yeah, go stay in rory's room, we'll get you sorted in the morning. Next door neighbors in Babette and Morey that would lay down in traffic for you if you asked them, and on and on. It warms my heart so much every time I see this happen.

Great episode for the Luke-Lorelai-Emily plot. Mixed feelings about what Rory did here, but considering she only accepted when Robert asked her out, and didn't go out of her way to engineer anything (Emily-style), I'm okay with her giving Logan a little taste of his own medicine. He misbehaved, but in a human way, and definitely is rethinking his stance on seeing other people now. I didn't love Rory's tone of smug triumph to Lorelai afterwards, but que sera sera.

I mostly find Michel annoying. I know over-the-top characters are a staple of Gilmore Girls, but Michel doesn't work for me. Kirk has his "every job under the sun" quirk, that hits often enough. But Michel has nothing, we don't even learn how he's good at his job, we usually just see him being unprofessional down the phone. Edit: the scene with Kirk in the boat was great, and it was earned. Michel wins a valuable prize out of nowhere and doesn't know how to handle it...just dumb shoe-horning.

I'd go as Jennifer Jason Leigh's character from The Hateful Eight, smashed teeth and all. 🤩

Yes, it's nice how Luke grabs Lorelai's hand after the Emily scene. You get a sense of how she's also hurting underneath the anger.

Yasemin

The more I rewatch this, the more I can hear Jess when Luke says certain things...it is the tone...."geeeez"....or "what's the big deal?" :)

Just reacting to the discussion at the start before the episode - you're right, Richard is not a great husband, the separation was well deserved, and them getting back together was terrible. BUT one thing I always loved about the whole situation, that during the separation, however mad they were at each other, there was never once a question of why should Emily be staying in the house and Richard in the poolhouse. Never once it was thrown at her he'd been working and earning the money so all the property is his and she should move out. I really rate that there is an understanding that by supporting Richard throughout his career and looking after the household, she contributed to earning the money as much as he did and the house belongs to her as much as to him.

Youtalkingtome

It's a really good point. I don't like how they got back together without Richard ever having to acknowledge how dismissive he was as a husband, though.

Youtalkingtome

For sure, I don't think Lorelai losing her temper with him in this situation was unwarranted.

Youtalkingtome

Rory definitely engineered that encounter, but I don't blame her, given the circumstances.

Youtalkingtome

Kirk and Michel should be roommates. They kind of deserve each other.

Youtalkingtome

Emily's inability to accept responsibility for her actions or apologize should be met with the exact level of scorn Lorelai is showing her.

I'm late but love this episode!

Elizabeth Gates

While Logan is painted as the best of his friend group, I do question his judgment with having Colin and Finn as his besties. Like, they're funny, but also awful in a lot of ways, even if you get desensitized to them over time.

Coming back to this episode because I just got a text from my optometrist saying “one or more of your eyewear have arrived” and all I can hear is Michel saying “eyewearrrrr”
