Luke is so easy to get to fold. Just annoy him enough and he’ll do whatever you want just so that you’ll stop annoying him.

Yeah exactly I don’t fully agree with what either of them did

I actually felt really bad for Rory when she came to the diner because as immature as she acted prior to her current situation from her perspective she wanted to take time off school because she was struggling but her mom cut her off and told her she can’t come home if she doesn’t go back.
Still on Lorelai side though but I agree that they BOTH could handle things a little better

I said it before, but Rory can't go back to live with Lorelai as she clearly said that is "not an option". In my view, that's not so much "tough love" (characterized by boundaries, alright, but also emotional support and care). It feels more like "my way or the highway" at this point in time.

Lorelais holds a lot of the responsibility for Rory's immaturity. She complains about Richard and Emily not letting her breathe but she did the same with Rory

Completely fair points!

Yeah I didn't mind it, was good to see the difference in her energy from when she lives with Lorelai, it was more cosy and close. Here it feels distant and lonely. I didn't find it boring at all

I know, right? It's like 12 hours a week. It's ridiculous how spoiled she got.

i get being on lorelais side but pls dont forget that rory didnt cut off lorelai, lorelai cut off rory. yes she has every right to be upset with rory for not going back to yale immediately but rory isnt not talking to lorelai, lorelai doesnt want to talk to rory until shes back in school. whether she wanted to or not right now, she cant go back to school. its summer break and she has 300 hours of community service so she cant be a student right now either way and lorelai said in this episode rory has to go back to yale for them to talk. not to mention the last scene where lorelai pulls up to rorys community service and immediately starts talking crap to her when rory wouldnt have even noticed that she drove by, so she literally just stopped to argue. also, as someone whose mom didnt let them know when she got engaged, it does hurt. no matter what their current situation is, rory was blindsided by her mom getting engaged and it wasnt even her mom that told her, which rory could obviously connect the dots and realize that she wouldn't have been told at all if she hadnt stopped by to see luke, which i personally think she has every right to be taken aback by.

Rory can’t go back to live with lorelai since she made it very clear that is not an option, and with so much community service she also can’t work or go back to school even if she wanted to so right now she’ pretty stuck, rory is clearly just very lost right now and I find it weird that lorelai didn’t try to understand and help her find her way back but the only thing she would accept is rory staying at yale even she had no motivation to do so, I love lorelai and I think she has good intentions and don’t disagree with all of it but I will never really like the way she handled this situation

Loved the reaction!
Always love a little Luke rant about Star Wars and frisbees! 😂
Oh and..300 hours in 6 months = a full time job? Okay Rory 😂

i get how rory's storyline in this ep is kinda boring but i think it's very interesting seeing her starting to live with the controlling emily that lorelai grew up with

This story line just makes me sad for both of them. When I was 16 my dad asked me if I was okay with him proposing to his wife, before he even asked her. I knew he would’ve waited until I moved out if I had said no. But there’s no shot I was going to be that selfish(even though i wasn’t thrilled & she wasnt the warmest) but if he hadn’t told me and I found out another way I’d be super upset too.

That’d be on brand for him, honesty.

He probably knows but is bidding his time to come and ruin Lorelai's life in some way

Even though I don’t think it was his place to tell Rory about the engagement, I do love seeing Luke involved in the mother daughter drama— like the TRUE father he is to Rory. 🫶🏽 Idk if Chris even knows or cares about Rory dropping out of college.

Yes, slow boring-ish episode. I never really enjoyed Liz & TJ, especially later on. In the renaissance era that was more enjoyable to watch.

Oh yes. It's like she forgets and corrects her (briefly) perfect pronunciation when she tries to say "Guatemala" with a fake accent, LOL.

"Paul Anka" is actually a reference to a real-life singer songwriter, ie she names her dog after him. :)

It is a little fun seeing Alexis Bledel pretend Spanish isn’t her first language.
Also Paul Anka! Love that neurotic little pupper.

Alexis Bledel actually grew up speaking Spanish so it's a kind of fun easter egg watching her speak her native language in the show

this was always just an okay episode to me. lorelai and paul anka were super cute, i love domestic L&L, but rory’s storyline is so ridiculously boring imo.
