Random thought: why is Norah in the DAR? She’s a Brit. I wish in moments like with Shira and Emily, I could be as cool as Emily and have a good come back.

I don’t cheer for Emily talking to Logan’s mother that way. She and Richard have behaved much worse to Dean and Luke and countless others. Spare me, hypocrite.

This is one of my favorite episodes this season. I do wish they maybe had written Mitchum coming down harder on Rory that resulted in this storyline so there would have been more weight to the climax of it. I think her spiral could’ve been done a little better but it’s still interesting to see her veer off on this path. I always figured Emily and Richard wrote Lorelai off about this because they just assumed she irrationally didn’t like Logan. Lorelai made it clear she didn’t like certain things when they basically were planning Rory and Logan’s wedding, and they just tuned her out completely which is annoying and frustrating.

Someone definitely thought “rich people have posh English accents!” and didn’t think it through.

Emily's takedown of Shira has always been a fun moment, but at the same time it's just two awful people being more awful to one another. I don't feel good about it, and like you said, it's just Emily and Richard finally admitting that Lorelai didn't lie to them, and even doubting it when it comes directly from the horse's mouth. Just infuriating that they always assume worst intent from their daughter. That said, it's a pretty brilliant takedown.

It cracks me up that I know what fluoxetine is because my cat takes it (it’s Prozac). The take that Rory should be an event planner is a fresh one, and honestly you’re not wrong. Intellectual snobbery aside, she is good at it.

Mitcham is not wrong when he said to Richard that Rory should have bounced back from his criticism. Instead she just folded and ran away from the truth that maybe she isn’t all that everyone has told her she is! Yes she’s become good at event planning for the DAR but that is not what she had planned for herself all her life. And Richard has had that realisation at the end of the episode too, you can actually see it hit him that she is totally not living up to her potential and that he and Emily have been enabling it. I love that Lorelai confronted him head on about ‘how is the plan going to get Rory back to Yale Dad, is she there yet?’ As much as he didn’t like that conversation, it definitely resonated on reflection.

I had the same hope as you at the end of the episode with Richard's reaction: I sincerely hope he is ready to finally hold Rory accountable exactly as Lorelai wanted.

I've been waiting for this one! One of my favorite episodes. The ironic part is that Rory is great at planning and pulling things together and managing people. It's, actually, something that Mitchum said she was good at - anticipating people's needs, collaborating, etc. Those just aren't necessarily the qualities that make her a great journalist. Can she work hard at it? Yes, she could. But as Mitchum said - she should've been able to prove him wrong but that' s not what she's choosing to do. She's proving to him that she doesn't think she has the drive and he said as much. She needs to get herself together. Love Paris this episode but honestly I love every time she's on screen so no surprise there.

Eh, it needed to be said, and Emily is the only one who has Shira's number, so it was down to her. You're absolutely right that Emily is the pot calling the kettle black. But she's not wrong - and she's specifically defending the Gilmore name so it's all consistent within her warped little value system.

Carl Wilson

A strong episode (at least once we get past the dinner at Sookie's). Nice Luke and Lorelai stuff, absolutely top-notch Paris (maybe one of Paris's best episodes ever), a classic Kirk moment, and Richard and Emily (well at least Richard) realizing that they've been wrong the whole time. Sure, Rory's a good event organizer - she ought to be, after spending her whole life watching Lorelai do that at work - and there's nothing wrong with that. But consider the roster of accomplishments Richard listed off to Emily in the middle of the episode, to indicate he was pretty sure this wasn't going to be hard for Rory. It's not snobbery to say that she has a lot more potential than following in Emily's footsteps of being a socialite charity stalwart. (And frankly Emily would probably be happier if she'd done more with her life too.)

I agree, it's just one of the more satisfying moments we've had from her in quite some time
