    That episode was awesome, gorgeous, amazing, fantastic. It was the greatest one so far. The most beautiful one with all the snow and the bells thing.
    The start was amusing with the funeral and Rory's crying. Lorelai and Sookie guessing who will be the next dead person in Stars Hollow was hilarious.
    Somehow there was a festive atmosphere during the whole episode with that beautiful snow and that bells. It was really funny to me that the whole town firstly liked the bells but after a while wanted to get rid of them.
    Lorelai and Luke's storyline was very interesting. I liked that Lorelai showed feelings for him and was moved by his moving out of Stars Hollow. Surely, she has deep feelings about him. They were sharing arguments all episode. I loved when they went to the church at night to break the bells.
    Rory thinks that the guy she asked on a date a few episodes before is spreading rumours about her around the campus. She shouts at him during lunch and the whole campus hears her. It turns out that the boy hasn't talked about Rory.
    Lane is kicked out by her mother as she goes out of the house at midnight in order to go to the CBGBs and play with the band. I liked her mother's reaction to Lane's hidden life. Laneis now staying with Rory in the dorms.
    I also liked how Kirk thought that he is hearing the sound of the bells all the time. So funny!:)
    All in all, brilliant episode!!!moreless

    This was completely brilliant, such a great episode. We finally had Lane talk to Mrs Kim about who she really is, Lane was confident, she though she could finally be free but then Mrs Kim kicks her out. It was strange to see Mrs Kim act so strangely, not going crazy about Lane being missing. I love the idea of Lane staying with Rory in the dorm, could be very entertaining.

    Lorelai nearly tells Luke she has feelings for him, at least that's what it looked like. But someone walked in, I can't believe that. It was great to see her so distracted by Luke moving, shows that he means a lot to her. I liked Rory's story as well, that guy she asked on the date, he seems to be spreading stories about that actual incident.

    But after shouting at him in the dining hall, he tells he wasn't talking about her, she runs off. The bell thing was amusing, how everyone hated them after a while. The opening scene was also really funny, with them guessing who death number five would be. I loved this episode, brilliant!moreless

    Another death in Stars Hollow and he loves the church bells. So they are going to restore the bells. Rory was really sad...
    And the bells are fixed, everyone stops and stays watching and hearing. When they stop everyone claps...so sweet.
    Lane's band get a gig!

    Luke tells Lorelai he has been living with Nicole for three weeks and Lorelai gets mad, they are having a big fight, the bells start ringing and she leaves. It's a big fight, he didn't tell her and she felt hurt. When she noticed he was cleaning the snow, I thought they were going to made up but no. He started screaming and they really fight.

    I hate when they fight. Everyone is getting tired of the bells and Lorelai has an idea to get two things at once, break the bells and made some peace with Luke. His apartment looks the same, it doesn't like he left.

    I was sad for Lane, her band get a gig then the guy canceled it. Then they started fighting too.

    Luke is a expert on breaking bells', he broke the bells the first time lol That moment when she said "I care. Because I don't want you to move", that needed a follow up. That priest!!
    Lane is in trouble, she simply left home without even leaving a note, I was so sad for Mrs. Kim...

    Rory called Lorelai, Lorelai told Mrs. Kim where Lane was, Luke also got two calls from Lane telling she wasn't going to work the next day.
    And Mrs. Kim was so worried, she called everyone, police, fireman, people to pray...
    She discovered the truth, everything about Lane's life, the cd's, the books, the cloths, everything. I think she was right, the kids don't make the rules, they obey them and it Lane wants to live like that she must go...

    Rory made a full of herself lol and now Lane is there to help...moreless

    I love this episode! The fight that Luke and Lorelai have. This is total foreplay. It is completely revealing that Lorelai is as in love with Luke as he is with her. I love that they are going to break the church bells together, and when they do, Lorelai almost tells Luke that she loves him. He is so dense about why Lorelai would be mad that he moved out of Stars Hollow to be with Nicole.

    I think this episode really shows how their friendship has progressed past friendship. And Luke should have told Lorelai that he moved in with Nicole, unless he was avoiding the situation!

    When Luke and Lorelai fight and then make up soon after - I love these episodes! I hate the episodes when their fighting drags on like at the end of Season 2 when Luke would not forgive Lorelai for yelling at him about Jess destroying Rory's car and endangering Rory's life.moreless

    • Lorelai: Luke, you don't live with Nicole. Luke: Yes, I do. Lorelai: You watch her TV, you eat her food, you keep stuff in a duffel bag at her house... you're a rude guest, not her boyfriend! Luke: Husband. Lorelai: Whole other discussion. Luke: You know what, you're doing it again. Lorelai: Doing what again? Luke: You're passing judgment on my relationship with Nicole. Lorelai: I'm not passing judgment. Luke: You passed judgment on our marriage, you passed judgment on our divorce and now you're passing judgment on our living together. Lorelai: I'm not passing judgment on you living together. You're passing judgment on you living together… by not living together. Luke: You know, I was a little tipsy on that cruise ship, but I don't remember anyone pronouncing us husband and wife and Lorelai. Lorelai: Well, they may as well have, because I spend as much time with Nicole as you do. Luke: And the judgment's back! Lorelai: I could move in with you guys. You wouldn't know. Luke: You know, none of this is any of your business. Lorelai: It's absolutely my business! Luke: How? Lorelai: Because! I wasted a week of my life adjusting to the idea that you had moved only to find out that you haven't moved. Luke: How much adjusting did you have to do? Nothing's changed! I still see you everyday, I still cook your food, I still serve your coffee. What do you care? Lorelai: I care. Luke: Why? Lorelai: Because I don't want you to move. Luke: Why? Why don't you want me to move? (Lorelai stares at Luke and they are both interrupted when the Reverend walks in) Edit
