I really liked the whole concept of this episode, Emily being taken on a tour of Stars Hollow by Rory. I liked the opening scene, Lorelai's shock at Rory inviting Emily was funny and it was a great set up to the episode. Roon returns, oh dear. He wasn't as irritating as in 'Double date' but his comment about Michel not telling anyone about the date was mean.
Sookie and Jackson are quite funny together, would like to see more of them. Michel's reaction to Roon was really funny. Emily going to stars Hollow, brilliant. Loved her scenes in Kim's Antiques, her and Mrs Kim's conversation was funny. Also liked Michel being so charming to Emily.
Lorelai's surprise that Emily was enjoying herself was well done. Actually would have liked Rory to take Emily to Luke's but anyway .... Liked how they were getting along well, as we saw this with Richard in the early episode 'Kill Me Now'.
Then Rory shows Emily her old home, Emily's disgust was done well, I once again felt for Rory though, putting the effort in. I like Lane and hope she gets together with this boy Henry. The scene when Emily called up Rory was funny.
Lorelai and Emily's conversation at the end was interesting, very revealing.
Then we have Rachel, who I personally don't mind as a character. But obviously, I'd rather her not get in the way of Luke and Lorelai. They like each other, ADMIT IT. I really like the Inn thing, would love to see Sookie and Lorelai start there own one.
Another great episode, only two left now!moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When Michel is introduced to Emily at the Inn they move to shake hands in the traditional French way. Michel initially reaches with left hand, then is shown holding her hand with his right, and finally when he kisses her hand it is back in his left hand. Edit
- When Emily is getting out of her car to come into the house, her heal gets stuck in the mud and she says "I suppose putting in a walkway never occurred to your mother.", to which Rory responds "Actually it occurs to her every day on her way to work." In later seasons you'll see a stone walkway leading out to the driveway, near where Emily gets out of her car. Edit
- Lorelai and Rory go to the Black-White-Read Bookstore on movie night to see Queen of Outer Space in this episode. If you look at the line-up of people going into the theater you will see Todd and Lane are with Rory and Dean walking into the bookstore theater. This is the same group of people who went into the theater when Rory and Lane double dated in Episode 1-12, "Double Date". We know this can't be the case because in the next scene Lorelai and Rory are sitting waiting for the movie to start. Edit

ADD QUOTES- (Emily opens the door to the girls and sounds extatic) Emily: Hello, hello, hello. Lorelai: Wow, Mom, hi. (speaking to Rory) Uh, check the rubbing alcohol. Emily: How was the drive? Lorelai: The drive was fine. Emily: Good. Lorelai: (Observing that Emily doesn't let them in) The foyer looks great. Emily: I have a surprise for you. Lorelai: The rest of the house ran away? Emily: No. Lorelai: No. Emily: Rory, come with me. (Emily leads Rory away, leaving Lorelai by herself) Lorelai: Okay, so, I'll... I'll follow you then. Great. Edit
- (Luke & Lorelai are in the storage room, talking about Rachel) Lorelai: Do you wanna know what I think about this situation? Luke: No. Lorelai: Are you sure? Luke: Look, if you're gonna tell me at least help me unload. Lorelai: Can I use the fun cutter thingy? Luke: Not if you call it the fun cutter thingy. Lorelai: Please. Luke: Cut the box, not your hand. Lorelai: Good tip, you should teach. (She cuts open one box) Ha! Fun! Luke: Talk. Lorelai: Well, I don't know exactly what's going on in Rachel's head because I'm not a Vulcan, but from the way she talks about you and the way she smiles when your name comes up, I'm pretty sure that she's serious about staying in Stars Hollow this time. Luke: Yeah, let me guess. Rachel told you she wanted to put down roots, that she's serious this time, that she's tired of the road, and realizes what's lacking in her nomadic existence. Lorelai: She didn't use the phrase "nomadic existence", but basically yes, that's what she said. Luke: I've heard the speech. I know the speech by heart. Lorelai: Well, I think she means it this time. Luke: You don't know her like I do. Lorelai: I don't. But she seems sincere. Luke: How do you know? Lorelai: Her nose didn't grow. Luke: Why are you taking her side? Lorelai: I'm not taking her side. Luke: Well it sounds like you're taking her side. Lorelai: Well, wash out your ears, I'm not taking her side. Luke: I mean you're practically pushing her on me. Lorelai: I just want you to be happy. Luke: And you know what makes me happy? Lorelai: No, I just know that you've been carrying a torch for her for a really long time. Luke: I have not been carrying a torch for her. Lorelai: Well, you wanted this to happen. Luke: How do you know what I wanted to happen? Lorelai: Didn't you? Luke: Yeah, I guess. Lorelai: Okay. So here it is, right in front of you. Just take it. Take the plunge. She could be ready. Just jump in and believe her. Unless, you know, there's some other reason you don't want to. Luke: Like what? Lorelai: Like I... I don't know. Luke: There's no other reason. Lorelai: Okay, well, fine. Then there's no other reason. Edit
- Luke: So what was all about? Lorelai: Oh nothing. We're just gonna go check out this old inn Rachel found. Luke: Hmm. Lorelai: What? Luke: Nothing. I didn't know you guys were friends. Lorelai: Hm, well we're not really friends. I mean, I don't know her that well. But we're just hanging out. She seems really great. Luke: Oh yeah, she is. She's great. She's just, you know, a lot different from you. Lorelai: 'Cause I'm not really great? Luke: No, you're great. Just in a different way. Lorelai: In a not really great way? Luke: That's not what I meant. The two of you are just completely different people. Both great, but I'm just a little surprised that, you know, you're different types of greatness are, you know, melding and you're comfortably great together. Lorelai: Is this bothering you? Luke: This conversation, yes. Lorelai: No. Um, the idea of Rachel and I hanging out together. Is there some reason that's weird for you or something? Luke: Why would it be? Lorelai: No reason I can think of. Luke: Okay, well then it's not weird. Lorelai: Good, well I was just checking. Luke: Okay, well then, you checked. Lorelai: Okay. So are you gonna be pouring that coffee anytime or... Luke: Oh. Lorelai: I'm glad it's not weird though because... (Luke spills coffee on the table)... that would be bad. Luke: Oh, I'll get a rag.

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Lorelai: It would be like the first fifteen minutes of Saving Private Ryan, but at least those guys got to be in France. The first scene of the film Saving Private Ryan shows in graphic detail the first wave of U.S. troops at the Normandy invasion being machine-gunned down by German troops. Edit
- Rory: Can I ask you a question? Lorelai: Yes, I would date Steven Tyler. Steven Tyler is the lead singer of Aerosmith. Edit
- Lorelai: I don't know exactly what's going on in Rachel's head because I'm not a Vulcan. Lorelai is referring to the ability of Vulcans to "mind meld" with each other. Edit
