Rory girl. what are we doing...... you need some help mama. I'm worried about the choices you're making. I'm shocked at how Emily handled that article. I actually thought that was going to be World War III but somehow we avoided that. the whole Kirk plot line in this episode was BONKERS. why is this man sleeping at Lorelei's house when he has that kind of money!? 🤣

OH GOD WE’RE HERE

IT'S HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. IT'S TIME.

I’M NOT READY. I HAVE PARAGRAPHS TO WRITE YOU BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS 😭

Luna

I still think the internship deal was questionable. Mitchum seemed more focused on repairing the Huntzberger family’s image after Rory’s bad first impression of them than genuinely giving her an opportunity, and it felt like he had already decided she wasn’t someone he saw fitting into their world. I also don’t think his criticism was entirely fair. Rory was there to shadow him, which mainly involves observing, yet most of what she did was assistant work rather than actual journalism. She wasn’t really given opportunities to show her reporting or writing skills, so his judgment seemed based more on how she handled errands and passive tasks than on her potential as a journalist. The internship also only lasted about two weeks, which isn’t much time to evaluate someone’s long-term ability, especially in a new environment where people often need time to adjust. That said, I do think he was partly right that Rory struggled to assert herself and ask for more meaningful work, but the way he evaluated her still felt unfair to me. Anyway, I’m sensitive just like her, but I’d honestly just go back home to have a really bad crying session with comfort food involved after receiving such feedback. But committing a felony??? BE SO FOR REAL RIGHT NOW GIRL- OH MY GOD RYANN I’LL NEVER GET OVER IT. WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE THINKING 😭😭😭

Luna

I’m so glad you felt the same way about the vasectomy thing. I won’t lie to you, I really liked Sookie, but this moment made me actually dislike her. I get where she’s coming from, I really do… but she has no right to force him to get one against his consent. It’s his body, not hers. (Crazily, so many people are on her side for some reason, and I always have a hard time understanding why. Maybe it’s because she’s a woman and he’s a man, but even so… these things apply both ways, in my opinion, and I’m saying this as a woman myself. She was clearly in the wrong for springing it on him like that without even so much as a conversation first, so I just can’t get behind it.)

Luna

HAHAHA definitely not! Logan didn’t even do anything this time, but he was a huge bad influence on her given the way he acted before, so now we’re only seeing what he rubbed off on her. The only thing I will say is that he did enable her behavior. He should’ve stopped her, but oh well…

It is early in the morning here after a long and exciting day yesterday and I accidentally started watching your finale reaction first, and was like, hang on, I don't remember you reacting to all of that...LOL...totally agree about it being weird that Lorelai just ends up going to Friday Night Dinners again as if nothing happened.

Yasemin

Ryann, your new Beyonce routine for the intro rocks! LOL

Luna

In the car in episode 22, Lorelai tells Rory that he spent two weeks with her, which is 10 working days. Hope this helps :)

Luna

No, it was pretty clearly presented as a fact. The timeline actually lines up when you think about it. She begins the internship on a Monday, and we see her there across several different days. At one point, Logan visits her and mentions his sister’s engagement party happening THAT Friday, and earlier in the episode, Rory also says finals are coming up soon. That means Mitchum gives her the talk on the same Friday as the engagement party.

Mitchum wanted her to be assertive; but as talented as Rory was, she wasn’t ready for that. But I think what Mitchum could have said to be more constructive was ‘hey, you’re obviously very competent, very capable—but let’s see you put yourself out there. Stay on the paper for a couple more weeks; I’ll keep in touch with the editor so he can let me know how you’re doing. You’ve got something, it’s just not fully developed yet. You’re still young, so keep at it.” I know he was under no obligation to say it like that, but knowing how to cultivate greatness out of someone is just good people skills. Mitchum didn’t have those skills.

Bruce

This episode is another one of those turning points. I go back and forth between wanting to punch Mitchum in the face and wishing Rory would have been strong enough to tell him he was wrong. I mean, this is the same girl who stood up to Paris for gods sake—who is no pushover.

Luna

Absolutely!! I love this assessment you made. He clearly said it in a wrong way. That’s why she took it the wrong way. Instead of encouraging her, he just completely shattered her. But it’s obvious he did this on purpose just to clear his family’s name because of the bad first impression Rory got of them at that disastrous dinner. The timing felt suspicious and too close to that event. It’s the same tactic Emily uses sometimes to get the upper hand. Also, I feel like Rory would be a great journalist… just not the kind he’s looking for. Maybe he needs someone else who matches the criteria he wants, but Rory could easily fit in with another superior who’s looking for her exact credentials. I just wish he gave her actual assignments related to her skills, but he didn’t do that because he wasn’t interested.

Ryann Rodkey

no exactly! I get it's a hard thing to hear but to completely throw away the thing she's been dreaming about her entire life because one guy said she couldn't do it without ever seeing any of her work is WILDDDD. like girl- stand up. sure, you don't have to back talk him, but to take his word as gospel? he even said he's been wrong, rarely, but he has so like, what're we doing!?

Ryann Rodkey

right!? it's just all better? that makes zero sense.

Ryann Rodkey

it's so odd! like you cannot just decide what someone else is going to do with their body because you want them to do it. there has to be some communication!

Ryann Rodkey

yeah I think my problem is, I understand if he wanted her to be more of a 'go-getter' and insert herself. but the internship was NOT presented that way. she was shadowing him meaning watching him do what he does and learning from that. also running errands around the office for people and such. she never had an actual assignment or anything like that for him to even determine if she was any good at it. and to say that she's not cut out for it bc she didn't jump in with ideas in a room full of men who run the paper is wild. like I said - that is something that could REALLY backfire if that isn't what he wanted. and I understand taking risks here and there are important but there is also more at stake here than just her internship right? I mean he's also her boyfriend's father so if she makes a wrong move at the internship, that will potentially add to any feelings he may have about her in general. that best option is to do what she's told and excel at that which I think she was!

Chiara Stephens

I kinda think Mitchum was right. Jess touched on it before too when he seemed sceptical of Rory reporting from war zones like Christiane Amanpour. She would never cope.

AlecSinWonderland

I hate to admit it, but Mitchum had a point about Rory. She’d be a great addition to a newspaper, just maybe not as a journalist. At least not at this stage in her life. She lacks the assertiveness and “go get it” mentality that the field demands. She’s still very green, so it’s not that she could never become a good journalist, but compared to someone like Paris, who naturally exudes confidence and ambition, Rory comes across as hesitant. That said, I also think Mitchum knew exactly what he was doing. He doesn’t strike me as naive, and I think he recognized those insecurities in Rory.

Bruce

Exactly right!
