Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)VERY GOOOOODDDDDDD! amazing show, amazing episode. a lot happened and I like that. It finally showed that rory never fully got over Dean and finally rory figures out how jess treats her..like dirt. But i love jess. he is amaazing. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Jess's father turns up, Lorelai and Sookie continue to try and buy the dragonfly inn and Lane deals with the aftermath of her drunken confession. A lot of big events happened here, brilliant episode. hide show
Christ, a lot happened in this episode. Fran, the baker who owned the dragonfly inn dies, which means that Lorelai and Sookie can try and buy it. It was very amusing to see them obviously so excited, it was hilarious at the funeral when they went up to talk to the guy, while he was walking the coffin. How they helped him hold it and everything, very funny.
I really hope they get it, though I doubt it will be that easy. Lane dealing with her mother was enjoyable, it was funny how she was confused why her mother wasn't grounding her or giving out. Both of Dave's speech's to Mrs Kim were great, how puzzled he was by the end of the first one and how tired he was in the second, I loved Mrs Kim's reaction, 'You can go to prom but you can't get married'.
Now Rory and Jess, things get even more complicated when Jimmy, Jess's father arrives in town. I'm glad Luke told him to leave, it's always entertaining to watch Luke shout. The awkward silence between the father and son when they meet was done well. Luke finally tells Jess to leave because he didn't hold up his end of the deal.
It must be so frustrating for Rory, as we see when she rants at Lorelai who is completely shocked, at least we know how she feels about him now. Dean's engagement, surprising - very much so, they don't even seem top like each other that much, him and Lindsey. I though Rory's reaction was normal, it won't be the last of him we see.
I also liked Lorelai's attempt to reconcile with Emily, a funny conversation, it was great how she was jealous of what Rory was doing with them. In the end, Lorelai and Sookie have a bigger chance at getting the dragonfly and Rory sees Jess on the bus, he tells her he can't go to prom which obviously she isn't happy about, he then agrees to call her. When she gets off the bus, it is revealed that he's actually leaving town, I feel sorry for Rory.
It will be very interesting though, can't wait for the final two episodes.
Ding Dong Jess is gone!!!!!! hide show
This episode is important because of 2 reasons the first being the death of Fran Weston leaving the dragonfly Inn available for Lorelai and Sookie to buy achieving their dream of owing their own Inn.
The second is Jess showing his true colours to Rory by leaving town (even though he does show up a more few times). Unlike alot of GG fans I never liked Jess he was a rude arrogant jerk who treated Rory like dirt (which Rory acknowledges in a future episode not sure which one I think when Dean tells her he is getting married and Rory doesn't support him) and he never even tried to get along with Lorelai.
some important events hide show
The day after a party, the reason of all the broken things is Rory but Lorelai's reaction is the best!! lol "Did you ever know that you're my hero?"
Everyone is exiting with the prom, Paris looks different lol
I'm proud of Dave, he took the courage to confront Mrs Kim, say all those things about him and Lane, he is brave lol
This is an important episode, Jess' father is in Stars Hollow, the protection factor comes out of Luke, he is furious with Jimmy.
Fran, that sweet lady with the cake store, died, that's a big blow to the town. Dean propose to Lindsey and she said yes.
Dave's determination convinced Mrs Kim, I never thought she would say yes.
The Dragonfly is for sale now that Fran died.
That scene with Jimmy and Jess, he just freaked out!! Comes back after 17 years and then runs again.
Jess is not graduating, he doesn't want to go back to school so he can't stay.
How can Jess talk to Rory like that and the minute she gets off the bus we realize that he is leaving for good...
Fran Weston dies leaving the Dragonfly Inn available to buy. Jess's father shows up in Stars Hollow. Dean tells Rory he's engaged. Jess leaves without saying goodbye. hide show
Jess annoys me. He has his moments when he's really nice but most of the time I dont like him. Although I really liked the scene with Rory and Jess trying to talk to each other but not making it and walking back again. It was really cute but Luke standing watching them with that look on his face made it really funny too.
Favourite scene was the massive blow out between Luke and Jess. Luke is trying his hardest to look after Jess and get him through school and defend him when the rest of the town is ready to grab their pitchforks and light their torches and all Jess does is throw it back in his face. I feel really sorry for Luke. He cant half shout though. Im glad he did, its about time he told Jess what's what. Just because it has to be said, Luke is hot when angry lol.
Jess's dad showing up seemed a bit pointless though. Ok he's a big loser, we got that before. Why did his appearance need to back that up. Apart from the fact we got to see Luke's reaction to him. Does anyone else think its wierd that Dean and Lindsay got engaged or is it just me? Like Rory pointed out, he's only 18 and they havent been dating very long. I did feel sorry for Dean though, the way he deflated when Rory didnt say anything. However its another classic case of the Dean over reaction syndrome. Considering he was her first boyfriend and they were together for so long, its not surprising she was a bit shocked when he told her. Did he really expect her to jump for joy? Id be shocked too!
So yet another awesome Gilmore Girls episode. Lots of feelings were exposed and lots of new developments.
Also woo hoo for Dave taking Lane to the prom!
