    Lorelai and Rory have to attend Sherry's baby shower. Very good episode. hide show

    The Luke and Jess bits were entertaining. I was actually interested to find out where Jess got the money, Luke's amusement at where he actually got the money was funny, Jess had to walk out, hilarious. Plus Lane giving out to Jess was really funny and then Rory did too. Taylor is an okay character, can be annoying, wasn't that interested in his talk with the priests.

    Of course Lorelai wouldn't want to go to the shower, Sherry is annoying and the Christopher thing hasn't been resolved. Good how they handled Rory saying she does talk to him. Like last time, I didn't like Sherry, she seemed to chipper and was very irritating. You could see why Lorelai was disgusted, which was done well. Liked how she tried to wreck her bathroom.

    I hated the way Sherry spoke about Rory, Lorelai was right to be put off by this. Her friends were like clones of her too. I loved when Rory and Lorelai egged Deans car, hilarious. Plus when they made the car noises themselves. The protest thing was amusing, when they all were guessing what he was saying.

    The end was great, when Rory and Lorelai told Jess they were busy last night, so they didn't egg the car. Look forward to more.

    I just love this series!! hide show

    this one was fun.

    Who would thought about putting sharped metal spikes in the lamps so the birds would be there? Only Taylor.

    Well Sherry is having a baby and she invited Rory to the baby shower and Lorelai is taking her there. Sherry extends the invitation to Lorelai and both Gilmore Girls go to the party.
    The only mother there is Lorelai and I liked the bathroom scene, she melts down and rearranged the decoration!
    All that popping was starting to annoy me too.

    Jess has a new car and Lane is more angry than Rory. The part when Lorelai and Rory deviled egged the car was fun, really fun!!

    I'm sorry that the protest wasn't good, the guy was sad.
    Maybe next time...

    Rory and Loralie go to Sherry's baby shower. They devil egg Jess's car and there in a protest which goes wrong! hide show

    Hilarious! This episode had all the crazy quotes and jabber that it's known for. The baby shower had some heartfelt moments (i.e. That Chris was there for Sherry but not for Loralie when she was pregnant.) The last 15 minutes completely made the episode from the Gilmore girls screaching out of town square after egging Jess's car and the protester shouting incoherent things, which don't "have to do with Jello?!" A completely perfect episode, so far in the series.

    “Green is the new Pink!” Rory and Lorelai attend Sherry’s baby shower, then throw devils eggs at Jess’ car. Luke mocks Jess after finding out he got a job at Wal-Mart. hide show

    Lorelai drives Rory to Sherry’s baby shower and Sherry talks her into staying. Sherry’s friends are as irritating as she is and explain to the girls that everything for the baby will be green because “green is the new pink!” They play annoying, cliché party games, and Lorelai is uncomfortable, so she messes up Sherry’s medicine cabinet. Rory comes in and scolds her. Lorelai feels Sherry is copying her by naming her baby ‘G.G.’ which sounds similar to ‘Rory.’ They leave the party with leftover devils eggs, and when they see Jess’ car, they throw all the eggs at it and speed away like criminals! The writing in the episode is great. Classic Lorelai and Rory at their best!

  • Kirk complains about not being allowed to drive a car, but in the last episode of season 2, his car was blocked in by Christopher's car at Sookie's rehearsal dinner. Clearly, he was driving at some point. []
  • Why is Jess's car littered with about two dozen perfectly-spaced, perfectly-round egg marks?
    The girls only threw about three apiece on the hood of the car, not the sides. Deviled eggs would crumble so why is it all over his car as if they were wet? Even if they were real eggs thrown, it wouldn't show up as a hyper yellow color. []
  • At Sherry's baby shower, Sherry says she is "not a baby person" and her friends confirmed that they were surprised to hear she was pregnant. But in "It Should've Been Lorelai," Rory tells Lorelai that when she and Sherry were on their "bonding" excursion, Sherry said she wanted a baby so much she was considering artificial insemination before she met Christopher. []
