Gilmore Girls: French Twist
When Christopher (David Sutcliffe) takes daughter GiGi (Nicolette Collier) to Paris to visit her mom, Lorelei (Lauren Graham) goes along for the ride. The City of Light casts its inevitable romantic spell upon the visitiors--and when Lorelai and Christopher return to Stars Hollow, do THEY have a surprise for everyone! Meanwhile, Rory finishes her duties at the Yale Daily News and comes back home with friends Olivia (Michelle Ongkingco) and Lucy (Krysten Ritter) in tow. . .only to discover that Lucy is deeply involved with Rory's old friend Marty (Wayne Wilcox), whose behavior is off-putting to say the least. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous
Though depressed over the growing relationship between Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Christopher (David Sutcliffe), Luke (Scott Patterson) is determined not to allow his misery to compromise his sense of responsibility as he takes care of daughter April (Vanessa Marano) while Anna (Sherilyn Fenn) is elsewhere occupied. Elsewhere, Rory (Alexis Bledel) tries to compensate for the missing Logan by acquiring a new brace of friends at Yale, Lucy and Olivia (Krysten Ritter and Michelle Ongkingo in their first series appearances). And you'll never guess whom Lorelai has to bail out of jail in this episode! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: This Is What You Get, Folks, for Makin' Whoopee
To cheer up Rory (Alexis Bledel), who is brooding over the absence of Logan (Matt Czuchry), Lorelei throws an intimate party with an Asian theme. But Rory's depression only grows deeper, especially after she learns about the midnight tryst between her mom and her biological father Christopher (David Sutcliffe). Luke (Scott Patterson) isn't happy about the Lorelei-Christopher situation either, and he makes no secret of his anger. Elsewhere, Lane (Keiko Agena) returns from her train wreck of a honeymoon in a seminal state of pregnancy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: The Long Morrow
Season Seven of Gilmore Girls begins the proverbial "morning after", as an embarrassed Lorelei (Lauren Graham) scurries home following her one-night stand with ex-lover Christopher (David Sutcliffe, billed throughout the season as a "guest star" rather than a regular). This, however, does not mean that Lorelei is going to patch things up with her erstwhile fiance Luke (Scott Patterson): he has postponed their wedding once too often to suit her, and his impulsive offer to elope falls upon deaf ears. Meanwhile, Rory (Alexis Bledel) seriously considers joining Logan (Matt Czuchry) in London, where he has been "exiled" (with a fat weekly paycheck!) by his powerful publisher father Mitchell. And in the latest in a long line of screw-ups, Kirk (Sean Gunn) and Taylor (Michael Taylor) crash their car into Luke's diner. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Merry Fisticuffs
It's hardly a holly-jolly Christmas for Christopher (David Sutcliffe), now more convinced than ever that Lorelai (Lauren Graham) married him only to get over her relationship with Luke (Scott Patterson). Thus, when Emily (Kelly Bishop) plans to have the couple repeat their vows at a lavish party, chances are that neither Lorelai nor Christopher will even show up. Elsewhere, Luke begins legal action to claim partial custody of daughter April, then has a public confrontation with Christopher which does a neat job of shattering the town's Yuletide cheer (to say nothing of the Town Square decorations!) And Lucy (Krysten Ritter) finally finds out about the "history" between Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Marty (Wayne Wilcox). This episode was directed by series regular Jackson Douglas (Jackson Melville). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Knit, People, Knit!
They've only been hitched for a few weeks, but Lorelai (Lauren Graham) is already beginning to second-guess her marriage to Christopher (David Sutcliffe). Painfully aware of this, and realizing that Stars Hollow is still "pulling" for Lorelai's ex-fiance Luke (Scott Patterson), Christopher goes to great lengths to ingratiate himself to the locals during the town's big knit-a-thon--thereby setting himself up for yet another spectacular social blunder. Elsewhere, Rory (Alexis Bledel) finally rips into Marty (Wayne Wilcox) for his abominable behavior since he began dating her college friend Lucy(Krysten Ritter). And a baby son is born to T.J. (Michael DeLuise) and Liz (Kathleen Wilhoite), inspiring Luke to finally demand equal parental rights to April (Vanessa Marano). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Introducing Lorelai Planetarium
Though she puts on a great show of being happy about the marriage of Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Christopher (David Sutcliffe), Rory (Alexis Bledel) is seething with anger, which erupts during a bitter confrontation with Lorelai. Given the dark mood she's in, will Rory be able to handle the unexpected arrival of Logan (Matt Czuchry), who has some big news about his fledgling internet company? And later on, a medical emergency awakens Lorelai to the positive changes in the personality and behavior of her ex-fiance Luke (Scott Patterson). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Go, Bulldogs!
Somewhat unexpectedly, the whole Gilmore family shows up on the Yale campus during Parents' Weekend. Also in tow is Christopher (David Sutcliffe), still trying to re-ingratiate himself with Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel). Alas, Christopher's efforts to be a "regular guy" with Rory's fellow staffers at the Yale Daily News ends up a horrible, drunken fiasco. And back in Stars Hollow, Luke (Scott Patterson) seems to be making a concerted effort to get over Lorelai by dating his daughter April's gorgeous swimming coach (Rona Benson). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: The Great Stink
Just before Christopher (David Sutcliffe) is to join Lorelei (Lauren Graham) for Friday Night Dinner at her parents' house, the couple has a bitter quarrel over Christopher's daughter GiGi (Nicolette Collier). In her usual inimitable manner, however, Lorelai's mother Emily (Kelly Bishop) chooses to ignore how thick the air is at the dinner table. As for Lorelai's own daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel), her reunion with Logan (Matt Czuchry) is a lot less fond than she'd anticipated, thanks to the presence of Logan's sexy new coworker. And elsewhere in Stars Hollow, Taylor (Michael Winters) alienates everyone (again!) by refusing to do anything about a malodorous trainload of spoiled pickles that has derailed just outside of town. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Lorelai's First Cotillion
At first balking over the notion of attending her mom Emily's annual cotillion dance (it'll be her first time ever!), Lorelei (Lauren Graham) changes her mind after realizing that her lifelong struggle to do exactly the opposite of what her parents want her to do may be the cause of all her troubles. Meanwhile, Christopher (David Sutcliffe) makes a confession to Lorelai that will shape the events of the coming weeks. In other developments, the distance between Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Logan (Matt Czuchry) may be a lot wider than the distance between Stars Hollow and London; and both Lane (Keiko Agena) and Zach (Todd Lowe) come to terms (sort of) with their impending parenthood. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Farewell, My Pet
While Richard (Edward Herrmann) recovers from his heart attack, his economics class Yale is handled by TA Tucker Culbertson (Cameron Bender)--who is quite smitten by Rory. Elsewhere, in a concerted effort to get her mind off her marital woes, Lorelei (Lauren Graham) throws herself into her preparations for the funeral of Michel's dog Chin Chin. This, however, does nothing to forestall the ultimate showdown between Lorelei and Christopher (David Sutcliffe)--in which the name "Luke" is invoked more than once! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: It's Just Like Riding a Bike?
A minor issue causes friction between Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Luke (Scott Patterson), ultimately erupting into a big fight, just like in the "old days"--but that's a good thing as far Lorelai is concerned! Elsewhere, Paris (Liz Weil) is forced to break up with Doyle (Danny Strong) so that she can clear her mind and choose one of the many graduate schools that have accepted her. And Rory (Alexis Bledel) may well hold her entire future in her trembling hands, courtesy of a letter she has just received. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: To Whom it May Concern
There's plenty on the table in this episode. For starters, Jackson (Jackson Douglas) tries to provide Lorelai (Lauren Graham) with an explanation for Sookie's weird behavior. Next, the child-custody battle between Luke (Scott Patterson) and Anna (Sherilyn Fenn, in her final series appearance) heats up thanks to Anna's take-no-prisoners lawyer. Then, Christopher (David Sutcliffe) reads Lorelei's letter of recommendation for Luke, which convinces him once and for all that he is merely a "consolation husband." And finally, though Rory (Alexis Bledel) is friends again with Lucy (Krysten Ritter), her happiness is cut short when she witnesses her grandfather Richard (Edward Herrmann) suffering a heart attack right in the middle of economics class! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Gilmore Girls Only
After quarrelling with Logan (Matt Czuchry), Rory (Alexis Bledel) accompanies Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) to North Carolina for the wedding of the Gilmore Girls' surrogate grandmother Mia (Kathy Baker). A pall is cast over the festivities by Emily, who doesn't like the fact that her daughters seem closer to Mia than to her. To top things off, in the middle of the ceremony Logan makes an surprise appearance to beg Rory's forgiveness. Meanwhile back in Stars Hollow, Lane (Keiko Agena) goes into labor. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Santa's Secret Stuff
Returning from London, Rory (Alexis Bledel) has a belated Christmas holiday with her family (cue the snow!) Unfortunately, her mind is still on her strained friendship with Lucy, who now "knows all" about her boyfriend Marty's previous relationship with Rory. Meanwhile, Luke (Scott Patterson), still locked in a custody battle over his daughter April (Vanessa Marano), asks Lorelei (Lauren Graham) to write him a character reference--which proves to be yet another wake-up call for Lorelai regarding her not-so-dormant feelings about her former fiance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: I'd Rather Be in Philadelphia
Despite the pressures of his new business, Logan (Matt Czuchry) rushes to the hospital to be with Rory (Alexis Bledel) while the Gilmores await news about family patriarch Richard (Edward Herrmann), who has suffered a heart attack. Conversely, Christopher (David Sutcliffe) is nowhere to be found, leaving Lorelai (Lauren Graham) to worry all by herself. Meanwhile, Luke (Scott Patterson) shows up, offering to run errands for Emily (Kelly Bishop), an act of selfless generosity that makes quite an impression on Lorelai. As this highly-rated episode races to its conclusion, the belated arrival of Christopher serves only to drive the final stake in the heart of his marriage to Lorelai. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Bon Voyage
In the series finale of Gilmore Girls, Rory (Alexis Bledel) has shed herself of Logan and is planning a summer post-graduation trip with Lorelai (Lauren Graham). Those plans are abruptly shelved when Rory is offered a dream job as a political reporter--an event prologued by a surprise meeting with her idol, CNN correspondent Christian Amanpour. Faced with the inevitability of life without her daughter, Lorelai tries to keep busy so she won't break down. Elsewhere, the likelihood of a heavy rain finds Luke (Scott Patterson) making extra-special preparations for Rory's outdoor graduation party--and in the process, Lorelei at long last comes to her senses regarding her relationship with Luke. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Lorelai? Lorelai?
To help Rory (Alexis Bledel) get over her nervousness concerning her graduation, Lorelai takes her daughter out on a shopping and dining binge. Luke (Scott Patterson) joins the ladies along the way, and they all end up at a karoake bar, where Rory manages to get Lorelai drunk. What follows is a boozy but sincere rendition of a Dolly Parton song in which Lorelai reveals the depth of her feelings for Luke. Meanwhile, Zach (Todd Lowe) is offered a job opportunity that may separate him from his family for several months; and Logan (Matt Czuchry demands an answer from Rory. This episode marks the last appearance of Vanessa Marano as April Nardini. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Unto the Breach
Rory's graduation party is quite a spectacle, involving virtually everyone in Stars Hollow. During the festivities, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Christopher (David Sutcliffe) are briefly reunited, and Logan (Matt Czuchry) shows up to propose marriage--and this time he won't leave until he gets an answer. Characteristically, Rory (Alexis Bledel) agonizes over her answer, which when it finally is given proves to be quite a surprise. Meanwhile, a sullen Luke (Scott Patterson) is convinced that Lorelei's drunken declaration of love was merely a case of the liquor doing all the talking. This episode marks the final apparances of series regulars Liz Weil, Matt Czuchry and Danny Strong. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Hay Bale Maze
Rory (Alexis Bledel) escorts Logan to Stars Hollows' annual Spring Fling--which, thanks to the shortsightedness of Taylor Doose (Michael Winters), has been transformed into a "Hay Bale Maze" (it makes more sense on the screen than in print!) Lorelai (Lauren Graham) is none too pleased about the situation at hand, believing that Logan is far too immature to enter into a lasting relationship with her daughter. In other developments, Rory is torn between accepting a plum job with a Providence newspaper or trying for a fellowship; and Lorelai and Luke (Scott Patterson) experience that long-awaited Defining Moment. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: I'm a Kayak, Hear Me Roar
Emily's efforts to curtail Richard's diet is the topic of conversation at Friday Night Dinner--much to the relief of Lorelei (Lauren Graham), who would rather not discuss her breakup with Christopher. Elsewhere, at a birthday dinner for Logan (Matt Czuchry), Rory nervously seeks advice from Logan's dad Mitchum (Gregg Henry), while the "birthday boy"himself digests some bad news about a recent business venture. And Luke (Scott Patterson) gets a taste of "family togetherness" while temporarily bunking with new parents T.J. (Michael DeLuise) and Liz (Kathleen Wilhoite). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Gilmore Girls: Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore?
Taking charge of Lane's baby shower while Rory (Alexis Bledel) prepares for an important job interview, Lorelei (Lauren Graham) finds herself stuck in the middle of another battle of wills between Lane (Keiko Agena) and her traditionalist mother Mrs. Kim (Emily Kuroda)--yet still finds time to form a strong bond with the expectant mother. Meanwhile, Rory tries to provide emotional support for Logan (Matt Czuchry) during his legal problems, but he seems to prefer commisserating with his male buddies in Las Vegas. And Luke (Scott Patterson) makes a huge purchase as part of his campaign to bond with daughter April (Vanessa Marano). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
