Episode Summary

With graduation looming, Rory is anxiety-ridden over her future, so Lorelai tries to cheer her up with a day of eating and shopping. Lorelai notices happily that Luke is once again wearing the baseball cap she gave him, and invites him to join her and Rory for karaoke night at a local bar. After a few drinks, Lorelai takes the stage to sing a heartfelt number which is obviously directed at Luke. Logan returns from a business trip to California and comes to see Lorelai to discuss his future with Rory.

    I LOVE this episode, especially when Lorelai sings, she is so GOOD!! It is just so beautiful, and sad, and sweet. You can tell that there is something there. hide show

    This episode is so cool. I like Rory's dream, Paris and Doyle's kids are so cute! I love that Logan asked for Lorelai's permission, it was so nice, and Lorelai was speechless for the first time in a long time. And i LOVED the Kareoke night. Patty and Babette are really good singers, but Kirk could use a LOT of work! I think Lulu was the only one who enjoyed it, and that's proberly only because she's his girlfriend, or she's tone deaf. But i LOVE Lorelai!! She's a really good singer! I love the song that she choose, the Lyrics just described the situation and what she was really feeling so well. At first she was being a bit silly, but when Luke walked in, she acted unnerved, but then she just locked eyes with him, and her voice was really emotional, and sort of tremerd, and you could tell that she was really putting all of her feelings into it, especially when she sang "but abouve all i wish you love." It was just so sad and sweet and emotional and romantic, i felt like crying. And the next morning, when Rory said "sometimes you just gotta let your feelings out", and you could see that Lorelai agreed, and i think that that described the situation perfectly.

    A fantastic episode..!! :) hide show

    Wow, it's now official, season 7 just keeps getting better and better towards the end. I really liked this episode, it had all the fun of a normal GG-epi, but also a lot of emotional stuff. First of all, I really liked that Lane is so grown up now, and even though you could tell that she really wanted to go on tour with Zack, she realised it wasn't possible with the babies, and still let him go... Awww, they are just so perfect together... :)
    Rory is really bummed that she doesn't know what she is going to do after graduation, and I kinda like that she didn't get that fellowship. She is much to used to getting precicely what she wants. And I thought it was really good to see Rory matter again. I've said this over and over, but I think Rory has been so blah this season, so I really liked her in this episode... :)
    The song Lorelai sang was just perfect, I loved how she changed the way she sang it when Luke entered, and you could tell that he realised it too... They just have to get back together soon!! :) And off course the end where Logan asks Lorelai for her blessing of him marrying Rory... Aww... He's just so nice... :)

    A special episode. hide show

    I think this was the best episode in seven years, it was full of emotional scenes. Lorelai sings and in the meanwhile, luke comes and sees lorelai. I was so glad to hear a song from lorelai, i think she has a good voice. I will always love you was a good choice and lorelai sang this song by looking at luke's eyes. This was a step of beginning of their relationship. At the end of the episode, there is a surprising event as logan asks permission to marry rory from lorelai and it makes us wait some dramatic changes in their lives.

    Great Episode. Lorelai has a little too much to drink and sings " i will always love you " thats enough said to make you love the episode. hide show

    Starts off with Rory finally admitting to her mom and grandparents that she didn't get the job at the New york times. a little later on we find out she didn't get the job at the Chicago Sun times either. So this leaves Lorelai with a whole lot of cheering up to do. Luke and Lorelai seem to be making strides in their relationship, right until Lorelai has a one too many shots and ends up singing a Whitney Houston classic to Luke in front of most of the town. Episode ends with Logan asking Lorelai's permission to marry Rory. all in all, good episode.

More Notes
  • Lorelai: Oh, you're preparing for the big boat trip, huh?
    Luke: Yep.
    Lorelai: Wow. Do you want me to just talk in nautical terms till you go?
    Luke: No.
    Lorelai: Aye, aye, captain.
    Luke: Please don't.
    Lorelai: Shiver me timbers.
    Luke: Are you done?
    Lorelai: All hands on deck. Now I'm done.
    Luke: Good.
    Lorelai: So, where you going?
    Luke: Oh we were thinking of heading up the coast.
    Lorelai: Oh, well, up is good.
    Luke: It should be fun.
    Lorelai: You're really going on a boat trip, huh? You sure it's a good idea?
    Luke: What's wrong with a boat trip?
    Lorelai: Well I mean for starters, you're on a boat.
    Luke: So?
    Lorelai: So! Anything could go wrong. You're on a boat in the water in the middle of nowhere. Haven't you seen "Dead Calm," "Open Water," "Das Boot"?
    Luke: Okay, first of all, I did not purchase a u-boat.
    Lorelai: "Titanic", surely you've seen "Titanic."
    Luke: April's very excited about this.
    Lorelai: Sure she is.
    Luke: Here's your coffee.
    Lorelai: Look instead of paying for this, can I just give you some of my sage advice?
    Luke: I'd rather have the dollar.
    Lorelai: April says she's very excited?
    Luke: Very excited.
    Lorelai: Yeah, she said she's very excited, but if I were you, I would plan a couple nights at a hotel so she can wash her hair and order room service. That's what I would do.
    Luke: Okay.
    Lorelai: Okay and if you're heading up the coast, you have to spend as much time as possible on the southern coast of Maine.
    Luke: Yeah?
    Lorelai: And you have to go to Barnacle Billy's.
    Luke: Barnacle Billy's?
    Lorelai: They have the best lobster you've ever had and you sit on the deck, look at the view -- you never want to leave.
    Luke: I'll check it out.
    Lorelai: For all that extra advice, don't I get a doughnut?
    (Luke opens the donut box))
    Lorelai: Thank you very much.(she leaves) []
  • Lorelai: (just before she begins to sing on stage) Here’s another embarrassing moment for your diary, kid. Happy Graduation! []
  • Lorelai: (about the news of Logan getting a great job) You're a serious guy. Look, you don't have to convince me. I voiced my concerns and you told me your plans, we had pie-- I'm cool
    Logan: Thank you! I appreciate that. That means a lot to me
    Lorelai: Oh, you're welcome
    Logan: So the thing is-- as you can imagine, I'm pretty exited about all this
    Lorelai: Yeah!
    Logan: But it does mean I'll move to San Francisco
    Lorelai: Oh wow! That's big. That's funny, Rory didn't mention it
    Logan: Well, actually I haven't told her yet
    Lorelai: And you are here 'cause you want me to tell her for you?
    Logan: No, no. I'm gonna tell her. I just-- I wanted to talk to you first about it
    Lorelai: Ok. That's... thoughtful
    Logan: Look, I love Rory. She means the world to me, and I want her to come with me to California
    Lorelai: Oh...
    Logan: But not just as my girlfriend-- which is why I'm here. I'm here to ask your permission, your permission to ask Rory to marry me
