  • Lorelai must take Emily on her errands and Rory looks after Logan. Good episode.

    Another good episode. Emily gets eye surgery and Lorelai must drive her around to help her with errands, Emily being blinded for the day was amusing. We finally learn that Emily and Richard were going to buy Lorelai and Luke a house but Lorelai breaks down in an upsetting scene. Emily even comforts her tearful daughter. That was a nice scene, to see Emily look after Lorelai. Also Lorelai is obviously avoiding Luke and who would blame her - he's acted horrible lately.

    Luke himself deals with Liz who returns with two sets of big news, one that she's pregnant and two, TJ left her. After investigating Luke learns that Liz actually kicked TJ out because she was scared. In a nice brother and sister moment, they hug and she goes back to her man. Logan is out of the hospital and Rory is being overprotective. Paris and Doyle were funny as was Rory's strict rules on Logan.

    So the finale is next week - will Luke finally see the light??moreless

    Emily decides to have LASIK eye surgery however it gets botched and so she calls up Lorelai to drive her around to do her errands. Also Sookie and Jackson find an entire crop of marijuana planted in their vegetable garden!!So hilarious when they are running through the town carrying GIANT bags of pot and they run into not only the town minister but ALSO the town rabbi!! Liz is pregnant but is terrified she will not be a good mother to her baby so she takes it out on TJ and MIchels finds out he has been drinking 2% milk OH THE HORROR, funniest quote: Lorelai: Michel, why didn't you just look on the bottle?
    Michel: Oohh-oh-oh-oh-ohh. You just know everything, don't you? You little miss-I-know-everything LOVED ITmoreless

  • From marijuana to LASIK eye surgery this episode has it all.

    Jackson and Sookie find pot, Michel drinks the wrong milk, Emily's LASIK goes wrong, Liz and TJ are apart, Logan is recovering, and Lorelai is getting a surprise. All of these events made this episode superb. I LOVED it. It is definatly in my top 5. With every scene there was something that made me laugh. This episode had some recurring roles like Doyle, TJ,and Liz. That made "Driving Miss Gilmore" HILARIOUS. To balance the episode there was one scene where it made you a little depressed. Gimore Girls should have humor and drama. This episode certainly did. One of the episodes every Gilmore Girls fan should watch and love!!!moreless

  • Logan come home, Liz is pregant, Lorelai drives Emily around town, and Luke eats his own words...

    I thought it was funny how Rory asked Paris and Doyle to take care of Logan, that was truly classic for the series.

    Liz tells Luke she's pregnant and that TJ left her, when Luke confronts TJ about the situation TJ tells him that Liz left him. Luke gives him a big speech about responsibility but apperantly doesn't take his own advice with the whole April/Lorelai situation. By the way, TJ is such a sweet heart.

    Lorelai is drafted by her father to drive Emily around since she can't becuase she's just had surgery on her eyes. While on their little drive, Lorelai learns that her parents are planning on buying her and Luke a house as a wedding present but Lorelai tells Emily that there might not even be a wedding...and they have a touching moment.

    Lorelai then craches at Sookie's housemoreless

    my comment on this episode:

    I loved this episode so good, unless Emily got eye surgery. it went bad and nearly got her blind, I felt for her. Poor Lorelai..! She had no choice but to drive BIG car, speaking of which..she really hate it.
    But, when she done do her mum's errands and went to this final errand, emily finally met her real esate agent and talk about this big house. Lorelai had no idea that her mum and dad is doing this for her. Once she got married and etc, you name it.

    But, she told her mum that she will not marry him. What? I'd like to know why!

    of course, it was so funny when jackson and sookie tried to get rid of marijuana! Thank god that they finally got rid of that marijuana!

    More importantly, I want to know what's up with lorelai???
