    This Gilmore Girls episode is very interesting one because: Rory deals with college life, Lorelai and Sookie are asked to organize a party at Emily's house, Kirk gets a date, Emily finally shows some emotions.
    Rory's storyline was really amusing. She struggles with finding place to study because of her roommates' annoying habits and their constant fighting. She finally finds a tree in the park which fits her perfectly. I liked that part of the episode because I have always liked to study outside and I find it pretty normal.
    Lorelai and Sookie are asked by Emily to organize a party for her. I liked the scene where they were serving Emily as she was trying the meals. So hilarious! Sookie was amazing again that she is always so involved in cooking. I got a little bit sad for Emily as Richard canceled the party. I liked that Lorelai showed some feelings for her mother, something that she doesn't do so often.
    Kirk gets a date. The date is amusing. So funny were the preparations for the date.
    Very,very,very good episode!:):):)moreless

    What's with the low episode score? This was just as good as previous episodes. I liked Rory's side story of not being able to study and Paris continues to amuse me throughout. I was wondering about Jamie but here we find out there still together and are currently fighting. Everyone being so annoying is something people can relate to so it was enjoyable to see Rory go off and find a new place to study.

    Under a tree! But not just any tree, one that is perfect for her to study under. I knew someone would take it though and it was amusing to see her try and get it back. Very good when she paid the guy a twenty to leave, which he gladly did. I'm not a fan of Jason, he's a little unknown to be honest.

    The whole Emily asking Sookie to cater was a great idea for entertainment but Lorelai's phone conversation with Emily about the business flyers was even better. Sookie making all the little broccoli tarts was amusing, especially how they seemed to be everywhere. Strangely I did feel sorry for Emily when she broke the news to Lorelai about the cancellation, she seemed so upset.

    I was glad that Lorelai stormed to Jason and gave him a piece of her mind, though he ended it with asking her out, quite interesting. Kirk's date was amusing, mainly because he was shocked at how well it was going. I wonder if we'll see more of Lulu.

    Brilliant episode again, I'm still loving the college stories!moreless

    Jason and Richard are finally partners and Emily is organizing a launch party.
    The Inn is finally getting repaired and Sookie agree to do the catering at Emily's party. And Paris and Jaime are having problems, Rory needs to study and there ain't a quite place in the apartment to do that.

    Lorelai and Sookie working for Emily is weird but they got the job...

    Kirk is having a date!! lol that was fun to see, the preparation, the video all that was cute lol and the date went great, Lulu likes him.

    I really felt sorry for Emily, she had a lot of trouble to organize the launch party and then Richard went with Jason's idea of taking the clients to Atlanta. She was really sad and hurt when she went to Lorelai's house and said the party was of, I really felt sad for her.

    And I was surprised to see Lorelai defending her mother, it was awesome!! But digger is smart lolmoreless

    Good episode. Lorelai and Sookie get a job for catering Richard's party. Rory can't find anywhere to study because everyone is doing something. Paris is fighting with Jamie, Janet on her trampoine and everyone else doing something. Rory finds a tree to study at but some guy takes it which she ends up giving 20 dollars to him so he will move which he does. Jason decides to go to Altanic City which Richard agrees getting Lorelai and Sookie fired. Kirk is on a date with Lulu which goes good and its at Luke's diner. Jason asks Lorelai out and she says yes! This will be interesting!moreless

    I thought that this episode was really good. I liked that Lorelai was trying to cover up the fact that she did not tell her mothe that she and Sookie started a new business and did not tell her by lying about sending her a flyer. I thought that it was really funny that Lorelai told her mother to treat them like anyone else she would hire then get upset because she treated them like she did her maids. i thought that it was funny that Emily mad them use the servent enterance then made Lorelai run back and forth from the kitchen. I felt really bad for Emily that her party was cancelled because Jason wanted to take the clinets to Alantic City for the weekend.moreless

    • Lorelai: I cannot believe you just called me Umlauts! Jason: You called me Digger three time before I called you Umlauts. I think that shows amazing self-control! Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Near the end of the episode, Jason Stiles refers to Lorelai as "Umlauts". This is a nickname she most likely received at camp after Jason overturned her canoe. Jason alluded to this event and mentions that Lorelai was wearing a green t-shirt and no bra, which probably presented a similar visual to the German umlauts symbol.

      Edit
    • Rory: It's quiet but not UnaBomber. Ted Kaczynski was a mathematician who became a hermit and started to send bombs to airports and universities. Edit
    • Sookie: This is Citizen Kane's house. Citizen Kane is a movie directed by Orson Welles. Charles Kane lived at Xanadu, described as the largest private estate in the world. Edit
