    Another one I loved. This episode had a lot going on and there wasn't anything I didn't enjoy. Firstly, after getting along well Emily and Richard seemed to be on the path to a reconciliation. But things go downhill when Richard finds out about Emily dating another man. After an amusing scene outside an events Emily finally tells Richard what he wants to hear, 'Come home'.

    I'm glad there back together and the wedding should be highly entertaining. Emily still shows her true colours though she visits Christopher at his apartment and warns him to try and get with Lorelai as soon as possible as they seem to be getting serious. She leaves what looks like an invitation and Christopher looks around in thought. Though Chris is a good character in my view, he better not ruin Luke and Lorelai.

    In other storylines, Rory obviously is beginning to like Logan and to be honest I'm warming to him more and more. Here he seemed like a nice guy and you could actually understand why Rory would like him. He tells her about an event his father is throwing and she obviously wants to go, but he doesn't invite her which leaves Rory disappointed. I do hope they get together.

    In an amusing inn story, someone is staying in one of the rooms and stealing chocolate. After a revealing conversation with Jackson, Lorelai discovers its Sookie and in a good friendship scene Lorelai joins her in the room. Also Luke buys a TV for Lorelai so she can watch it when goes to bed early, showing more strength in there relationship.

    It seems that the next episode will be the biggest yet this season and I can't wait! This was brilliantmoreless

    Rory wants to go with Logan to a party in New York, but Logan doesn't get the hint. Rory is so sure that Logan will take her, she calls her mother to bail on Friday night dinner. Richard is in the office with his business partners when he finds out that Emily went out with Simon. He gets mad and rearends Emily's car. Then he has Emily get in the car with him. He says "I don't want to go back to the pool house" and Emily tells him to come home.

    Lane doesn't want to go to Korean New Year at her mother's house, so she tells her mother she has to invite the whole band which her mother, surprisingly does. Lane is wearing contacts which Zach and her mother both agree does not look good on her. Gil plays a Korean musical instrument duing the festivities.

    Lorelie and Rory go to Friday night dinner and see Richard and Emily kissing. Then Richad and Emily tell Lorelie and Rory that they are having a recommitment ceremony next week. Lorelei is to be Emily's maid of honor and Rory is to be Richard's "best man." Later, as Emily is trying on wedding dresses, Lorelie looks in the mirror with some of the dresses too. Emily realizes that Luke and Lorelie are very serious, so she goes over Christopher's house to tell him to do something so as not to "lose Lorelei". She's always intefering!moreless

    Lorelai going to bed early lol

    Poor Doyle, Mitchum Huntzberger is mean and now he wants Logan to be more at the paper. Rory offers to give him some notes for a piece.

    I like seeing Richard complementing Emily and she flushing, they are starting to get along.

    Logan and Rory are getting closer, she gives him the notes and they start talking, he offers a coffee.
    Lane took the glasses, she looks more Korean.

    Luke's uven is giving him a hard time. Lorelai starts mocking him but then they start going through the steps and she knows all!!! She tells him the final step and the uven is fixed. That's what happens when she goes to bed early, she reads manuals lol

    And Richard, he found out about Emily's dinner with Simon,in a meeting...

    There are ghost at the Inn, someone is messing the beds and eating Toblerone lol
    Kirk is trying to find his call and the Inn is just the right place for it, he is everywhere.

    The only way to get Lane at Mrs. Kim's house is inviting the whole band. Zach hid behind Lane lol

    Richard is kind of mad, you can see it when they are getting to the party.

    Logan and Rory meet again so he can giver her back the notes. He didn't invite her to the party has she expected...

    And the ghost is Sookie, she doesn't get off work in time to see an episode of her favorite show so she goes to one of the rooms and stays there watching it, Lorelai joins her lol

    At the entrance, at the party, Emily's car gets hit from behind, it was Richard lol he then sends Simon away and gets her into his car and they leave. And Zach agreeing with Mrs. Kim, I never thought I would see that, they even went to see some of Lane old pictures.

    I happy, Richard and Emily are together again, nothing like some jelouze and a little of honesty. At Friday night dinner, the girls are outside and the catch Emily and Richard kissing lol
    They are reconciled so there is going to be a big ceremony, they are renewing their vows. Emily already has Miss Celine in her room with dozens of wedding dresses.
    And Lorelai, she was looking at her reflection holding a dress to see how it looked, Emily noticed it...
    This is the first time I saw Lorelai interested in a wedding dress, as far as I remember.

    And Lorelai is back at Luke's apartment for another night but this time he as a surprise, a TV.

    I was happy for Emily until that last scene, she didn't had the right to say those things to Chris, she saw Lorelai with the dress, she knows she is with Luke...
    Emily had to start the problems.moreless

    I knew it: Emily and Richard reconsile and will renew their wedding vows, it was to be expected especially after their nice scenes in the previous episode!

    But as much as I liked that storyline, I hated Emily's behaviour concerning Luke and Lorelai. She's obviously not okay with the two of them getting serious and it's awful that she's using Chris to get between the two of them... I hate it...

    I liked Logan from the beginning, but it's really time for him to make a step towards Rory. He's afraid of commitment, I guess (well, I did back then, it's been a while since I saw that episode!), but Rory suffers from his rejection...moreless

    • Before Mrs. Kim comes to invite Lane to Lunar new year, Brian tells Zach that his E string is flat. Mrs. Kim also informs Zach that his E-string is flat. Zach has a regular 6-string guitar, if he uses standard tuning, there are two E stings. Usually differentiated by saying high E or low E. So which E string is flat? Edit
    • In this episode, Lane's Korean replacement asks for a Monte Cristo sandwich, but in a previous season, when Luke gets new menus, it's said that he took off that sandwich. Edit
    • At the end of this episode, when Emily shows up at Christopher's apartment to warn him that if he wants a chance with Lorelai he'd better act fast, she lists some of the reasons she does not think Luke is a suitable match for Lorelai. One of these reasons is that Luke is divorced. However, Christopher is also divorced. In "The Great Stink" it is specifically mentioned that Christopher and Sherry were married and divorced. Edit

    • Rory: (watching Emily and Richard from outside) It's Grandma and Grandpa! Lorelai: Together? Are they fighting? Rory: They don't look mad. (pause) Grandpa just picked up an ashtray! Lorelai: Maybe he's gonna throw it at her! Rory: No, he's just moving it. Grandma just laughed! Lorelai: An evil laugh, an I'm-lauhing-at-your-pain laugh? Rory: No, a regular laugh. (Emily and Richard hug and kiss) Oh my God! Lorelai: Oh my God! My parents are having an affair! Edit
    • Emily: All right. I'll come straight to the point, Christopher. Now, I have known you a long time. I watched you grow up. You were a charming boy. A weak, but charming boy. And to be completely honest, I never thought much of you. I still don't. Christopher: Wow. That's great of you to come by and share that with me. Edit

    • Luke: Hey, twice a week you're going to bed at 9:30 like a 72-year-old woman because I have early deliveries, so I figured the least I could do is make sure you don't miss your Charlie Rose or your Patrick Stewart – Lorelai: Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart is a comedian, know for hosting his own talk show "The Daily Show". Patrick Steward is a British actor mostly know for portraying the role of Cpt. Jean-Luc Picard on a television series "Star Trek". Strangly, PS was once a host of SNL, and JS was about to be (had to back out). Also, a funny comment, in the episode "A Family Matter"(4x12) Lorelai told Jason that she feels uncomfortable dating a trekkie. Edit
    • Luke: Mel Brooks is never on Charlie Rose, and when he is on he's talking about Nazis, and then you go to sleep and you dream about Nazis and they all look like Nathan Lane, and you're creeped out for days. Luke is referring to The Producers, the Broadway hit produced by Mel Brooks. Nathan Lane plays Max Bialystock, who in the show buys a horrible play with his partner to make money. The play is about Hitler and the Nazi Party. Edit
    • Lorelai: The toothpaste world. Is that anything like Whoville? Reference to the Dr. Seuss books Horton Hears a Who and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Edit
