  • Rory and Logan become an official couple but what will his family think? Luke fills in as head chef at the Dragonfly as Sookie is on bedrest. Great one .....!

    So Logan and Rory are finally an official non-casual couple. I liked the scene when she told him that she was done with the casual thing and he took it all weirdly and girls kept ringing or showing up. Then comes the big one, she's invited to have dinner at his parents house because his sister Honor is announcing her engagement.

    It is awkward, cold and not very nice at the mansion. I felt sorry for Rory, she did everything she could and somehow still wasn't good enough. Most of what was said was to her extremely insulting. I liked Logan's reaction, quite protective of Rory. But things don't look good, Logan drops Rory off quickly and that's that.

    Rory rings Lorelai and her mother finally tells of her concerns. Just as she's listening, Logan arrives and he apologises. Rory ignores what Lorelai has said, leaving her Lorelai pondering. Elsewhere Luke fills in for Sookie, this was an amusing storyline.

    How Sookie kept getting the food sent to her and how mad Luke got, brilliant. So I guess her baby will be arriving soon. The episode ends with Rory being offered an internship by Logan's dad, she refuses at first because she thinks its to say sorry for the dinner. He says even if that's true, why not take the offer? He tells her he'll see her on Monday.

    This should be interesting, last three episode now....moreless

    Ok, can i just say that i HATE the Huntzburgers? They are so stuck-up! Saying that Roryb isn't good enough for Logan? And then his mum mentions that lovely Fallen, and doesn't Logan see her anymore, but she would make a perfect choice. Excuse me?! Rory is the best thing that has evr hppened to Logan. Oh, and I have to correct my first two statements. I hate all the Huntzburgers, and they are so stuck-up, EXCEPT Honor and Logan, they are the only two exceptions. Honor is cool. Really funny, and down to earth. I love her wedding, but her choice of friends is a bit wierd, but to each his own. And i love that Rory is the very first girl that has ever got Logan to date just one girl, which is her. And i love how she tells Lorelai that they are now boyfriend and girlfriend. And i love Paris' reaction when she hears the news. And i love love the thing with Nanny, her and Dole. And that whole thing with Sookie and Luke? I love this episode!moreless

    any episode that has Logan in it becomes automatically great, and this one was pretty awesome!
    Rory finally gets fed up with the 'casual-dating' thing with Logan and confronts him about it. Logan however surprises her with the idea of starting a hardcore relationship. They go to Logans parents' house for dinner but it goes badly because Logans' family don't take too well with Rory. Sookie gets confined to bed rest then gets paranoid about Luke( who is helping in as a replacement for sookie) messing up the dinner, at the inn.moreless

  • A very good episode.

    This was a very good episode. I loved the whole thing with Logan's family. Although I don't like his parent's and grandfather, it was very fun to watch. I also liked the whole thing with his sister, she is awesome, but her fiance is a little odd. I am so glad that Logan is finally Rory's official boyfriend, instead of that "casual dating" thing. I am one of the few Logan and Rory supporters. It was a very good episode, it kept me watching the entire time. My friend has this episode on dvd, and I think we have seen the episode about 20 times. I give it two thumbs up!!moreless

    • Logan makes a comment about the octagon imprint on Rory's face when she visits him to tell him they should just be friends; however when Rory woke up on the bathroom floor, there was a large towel under her head so she really wouldn't have had a tile imprint on her face.

    • The clean t-shirt that Paris gives Doyle to wear reads "Women belong in the house... and the senate". Edit
    • Paris' nanny suddenly returns without any explanation which is strange since in season 4, episode 2, Paris says that she had left to open a restaurant in Boise. Edit

    • French episode title: "Mais, je suis une Gilmore", meaning "But, I am a Gilmore". Edit
    • Lorelai annoys the hungover Paris and Kirk by saying "Good morning, Vietnam!" loudly in the morning. Paris said the same thing in a previous episode, which Rory said was her morning ritual. This was the morning greeting for Adrian Cronauer, played by Robin Williams in the movie Good Morning Vietnam. Cronauer was a rather unconventional D.J. for the US Armed Services Radio station in Vietnam. Edit

Logan: But taking off like that...I was just over reacting and that's just stupid. So, forgive me? Rory: There is nothing to forgive. Logan: Come on, grab your coat.

    • Lorelai: (in response to Rory being afraid that Logan is going to bail on her) Can I just say something that you're probably not going to like? Rory: Yes. Lorelai: If he's going to bolt, then maybe you should just let him bolt. He told you, Rory. He told you he was not a commitment kind of guy, just like you're not a non-commitment type of girl. Don't force him to be something he's not. Rory: I didn't force him. Lorelai: I know you didn't, but he saw it as losing you and didn't want that, and I give him credit for that, but it isn't who he is. Rory: He can change. People can change.

The Gambino family is one of the most prominent crime families (withing Mafia) that controls crime activities mostly in New York City, but it's influence is so extensive that they are also involved in events across the whole USA, as far as California. Crimes include: gambling, narcotics, thefts, traficking and many more. Edit
