I wasn't expect the inn to be that badly damaged, I wonder what they'll do about it. I thought it was a good way to bring certain characters together, Luke and Lorelai, Sookie and Luke. Them cooking together was great, we've never seen them bond before. Lorelai told Luke about her dream from the start of the season, they have great chemistry.
Rory having three college choices was good and it was nice to see Lorelai respect whatever she wanted which is obviously Yale, liked the end when Lorelai had done up the wall with Yale stuff and the Kirk t-shirt. I'm sure Richard will be thrilled.
As for Paris, she'll get in somewhere else no doubt, what Rory said to her was nice and I'm glad there friendship is remaining strong. Funny how she was watching the soaps 'I don't deserve general hospital!'. Jess being the employee of the month was funny, especially how Luke reacted. I doubt he is going to school, he isn't very convincing.
Babette and Miss Patty were funny, when Patty was answering the phones, hilarious. Plus Babtette messing with the computer. The fake boyfriend of Lane is perhaps falling for her, should be interesting. Lindsey is being a bit harsh, I mean Rory is being nice to her. How good was it that Luke spoke about Lorelai on his first date with Nicole.
This was a brilliant episode, very sad that the inn basically burned down but we did found out about Rory's college!moreless

Episode Summary
The Independence Inn hosts a gathering of the Edgar Allan Poe Society, but a fire forces Lorelai to relocate the guests to her own house and those of her friends, and leaves her spending the night at Luke's, where she reveals a previously secret dream. Sookie and her staff invade Luke's to prepare breakfast, and gets into a culinary groove with Luke after a rocky start. Questions arise about Jess' attendance at school when he becomes Wal-Mart's Employee of the Month and Luke discovers he's working overtime. Lorelai and Rory start picking up on unfriendly vibes from Nicole and Lindsay. Rory visits Paris, who is hiding from the world, and prompts her to rejoin the land of the living. Invited to inspect the damage to the inn, Lorelai discovers it is far worse than she had believed. After making extensive pro-con lists in an effort to decide whether to attend Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, Rory has a heart-to-heart with Lorelai and chooses Yale.moreless

ADD NOTES- German episode title: "In Schutt und Asche", meaning "In Ruins". French episode title: "Le Corbeau Et L'Incendie", meaning "The Crow And The Fire". Edit

- The shirts Kirk made in this episode bear a close resemblance to the black shirts with the words 'a film by Kirk' written in lower-case white letters which were created by some Gilmore Girls' fans on the net after "Teach Me Tonight" aired. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Lorelai: Ooh, sorry, I have to get up super early tomorrow. Luke: No problem. What time? Lorelai: Six. Luke: I get up at quarter to five every morning. Lorelai: Why in the world would you get up that early? Luke: I don't know, to run my business? Lorelai: Well, change businesses. (she lies down on bed) Ooh, wow, total déjà vu. Luke: Really? Lorelai: It's the alarm clock. I had a dream once that you set eighteen alarm clocks to get me up, which is not a bad way to get me up. Luke: Where were we? Lorelai: We were, um, at my house. I got up, I went downstairs for coffee, and you talked to my stomach. Luke: Why on earth I do that? Lorelai: Well, because I was pregnant. Twins. Luke: Mine? Lorelai: What am I, dream tramp? Of course yours. Luke: We were married? Lorelai: Um, yeah. Did I not mention that? Luke: No. You know, you shouldn't drink coffee when you're pregnant. Lorelai: Uh, true. Luke: It's probably why Rory's a caffeine addict. Lorelai: Right, you're right. Luke: Dream go beyond that? Lorelai: No. Um, you talked to my stomach and then you ki- well, no. Luke: Oh, okay. Well... night. Lorelai: Yeah, night. Edit
- (Lorelai gives her room to some guest and she is without bed) Lorelai: How much room do you take up on that couch there, Fred Junior? Junior: Pretty much all of it. Lorelai: That's what I figured... Edit
- (While sitting at Miss Patty's, enduring a tediously done rendition of Poe's "The Raven") Lorelai: At least if I had brought a flask, we could have played the nevermore drinking game. Rory: Oh, maybe this is what drove Poe to the bottle. Lorelai: His own work. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Paris: I was flipping through Harvard class schedules when you were still delighting to the adventures of Gumby and Pokey. Rory: I was more a Pee Wee Herman kind of Gal. Gumby, a green guy, and his sidekick Pokey, an orange horse were on Gumby Adventures,a Saturday morning show done with clay. It was one of the earliest children's shows on TV Pee Wee's Playhouse was another show for kids around the late 80's, featuring Paul Reubens playing his signature character (with the goofy sexual overtones bowdlerized, of course). When he was involved in a scandal over publicly whacking off in a XXX movie theater, the show quietly disappeared. Although he last appeared as the character in 1992, there is supposedly a movie being made. Edit
- Lorelai: (to Rory, who is entertaining little kids with a sock-puppet show) Hey, Shari Lewis, how's the show going? Shari Lewis (1933 - 1998) was a puppeteer who created the character Lamb Chop out of a sock puppet, which became a classic children's character in the late 50s. When TV Guide did a celebrity recipe's section, her entry was a recipe for lamb chops. Edit
- Paris: I've been totally Howard-Hughesing it. Aviator and industrialist Howard Hughes (1905 - 1976) suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder and experienced bouts of withdrawing from the world. At times he was rumored to have let his hair grow to shoulder length and his nails into claws as a result of his fear of scissors. There were times when he was also rumored to be dead because no one had seen him except a couple members of his staff in a preposterously long time. Hughes was the subject of the Leonardo DiCaprio vehicle, "The Aviator" and the movie "Melvin and Howard" was peripherally related to him as well. When he died in 1976, his estate was estimated as worth 2.5 billion dollars. Edit
