Jess heads out to Venice California only to learn that his father's community is just as quirky as Stars Hollow; the rift widens between Lorelai and Emily; Luke tells Lorelai that Jess took off for good; Lorelai waits for the right moment to break the news to Rory, who is stressing over finals and graduation.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Jess leaves Stars Hollow and goes to California, Rory stresses over graduation and finals. The Gilmore bits were excellent and I liked Jess's parts too! hide show
This really was a brilliant episode, good setup for the finale. It was entertaining seeing Luke try and get Lorelai's attention without Rory knowing, it was quite sad to see Luke say he failed Jess, because he didn't, Jess is just that way. You do feel sorry for Luke and Rory, Jess just leaving like that.
The Stars Hollow parts were excellent and very well done, a great lead up to the next episode, the season finale. Rory being so busy and distracted and seeing Lorelai and Emily together again since there argument. One of my favourite parts of the episode was Paris, when she gave out to Lorelai, that was hilarious.
Plus when Lorelai went to hug and she said 'What are you doing?' and looked extremely uncomfortable. The tension raised when Lorelai arrived to pick Rory up from Emily's, this was however a very funny scene. It was great watching Emily lie her way out of Lorelai staying, it was even better because Lorelai obviously knew what she was doing.
It was amusing when the oblivious Richard ruined the lie and Lorelai stormed out, rightly so. I was glad when Rory said Emily was being stupid, she wasn't expecting that. The small part with Lane at the start, I do feel for her but it will be interesting to see how things turn out for her.
The saddest scene was when Lorelai broke the news about Jess to Rory, she was obviously devastated but didn't seen surprised, it was funny to see Luke bolt away from them. The reading out of the year book was good, there was a nice scene when Lorelai was so proud of Rory for becoming Valedictorian.
Now for Jess in California, this was good but I don't know if it could have handled itself as a show. I thought the girlfriend Sasha was a great character, she was funny, had good one liners and seemed fairly original. When she was introducing all the dogs to Jess, that was funny.
Jess's reactions to things always are enjoyable, he just pulls a face. You can't trust his father Jimmy and I think it was good that he said he couldn't stay because he knows that he's a screw up. That was an intense shouting match and was done well, since the show never made it we won't see her make any decisions.
Sasha's daughter being hidden in the closets in the house was funny, the girl reminded me of the one from Little Miss Sunshine, the film. So yes I liked these parts, but I think the Gilmore girls storylines stood out more. Though it was overall an excellent episode and I can't wait for the finale!
Too much Jess. It feels like 2 different shows. The high score is for the Stars Hollow scenes only. hide show
If I could give 2 marks for this episode I would. The 9 score is for the scenes in Stars Hollow only. The Jess in California scenes would get the lowest mark available.
Sorry but unlike alot of Gilmore Girls fans I have never liked Jess and don't think he is good enough for Rory so that fact that most of this episode is about him and his dad in California is too much. The scenes between Lorelai and Rory in Stars Hollow are great as are the scenes of Luke worried about having to tell Rory that Jess has left town.
When watching my DVD's of Gilmoe Girls skip the Jess parts all of the time.
A different perspective on Jimmy's life and a reaction to Emily by Rory. hide show
The finals are coming, that schedule is scary, how can anyone schedule every day for weeks to the minute, I couldn't.
Luke making faces was fun lol, the news were bad but the method was cute.
Jess is in California, guess why? to see his father.
Fate is a damm Lorelai wins some money, she pays back the loan to her parents but because she got the money, the scholarship to Yale is gone, they don't have right to it.
Jess finds Jimmy's house, meets Sasha and her dogs and kats. She has the hippie style, the colours, the cloths, the ways. Her daughter is a little weird lol
Lorelai hugging Paris was hilarious lol
In this episode we get to know a bit of Jimmy's life, what he does, his relationship with Sasha, his life.
Miss Celine is a character lol
When Lorelai came to pick up Rory, Emily was stubern, there was no reason for her reaction.... Rory was right to call he stupid, she deserved it.
Rory is doing the speech at graduation, that's a big thing!!
Rory is super-stressed about finals and all the stuff she has to do before graduation. Lorelai holds off on telling Rory Jess is gone and she didn't get Financial Aid. Jess turns up in California to see his Dad. hide show
It was extremely annoying for me to dee Sacha being played by the same actress that plays Anna. What, they couldn't find another actress in LA? And Jimmy is kind of a jerk, not wanting Jess to stay and not even asking him why he had gone across the country to see him.
It's kind of sad that Rory's time at Chilton is ending. It's like the end of an era. It was way too predictable for Rory to be named valedictorian, though. I mean, can she do NO wrong? Makes the rest of us seem like losers. But she earned it, I guess.
jess goes to california and rory gets ready to graduate hide show
i thought that this episode was okay i did not think that it is as good as other episodes from this season. i really did not like the parts where they were showing jess in california i know that the wb was trying to do a spin off of the gilmore girls and that is why they had those scenes but the spin off never evan made it to tv so i do not understand why they had those parts in this episode. i thought that the best part of this episode was the part where rory told her grandmother that she thought that she is being stupid.
