    This episode was great. It felt like a classic GG-episode... :-) The dialogue was awesome...!
    Allthough Lorelai hasn't convinced everybody that she is over Luke and that she is ready for a new serious relationship with Chris, she is trying it out. She still tries to watch out for herself, but finally gives in to Chris when she understands that they are really good for eachother. Chris is just being really romantic and patient, exactly what Lorelai needs.
    I loved the scene where Chris and Lorelai pick up Emily from jail, and Lorelai can't stop taking pictures of the policeofficers, and they actually pose for her... :-D All in all, a really great epi!moreless

    Fun episode that shows a nice turn in Lorelai's and Christopher's relationship. I totally love the part where they're in the car after the movie when Lor gets the phone call - Lauren's interpretation is awesome !

    Lorelai "We have to go!...we have to pick up my mother!...from jail!"
    Chris (laughing)"Your mother's in jail?" Lorelai "Woh this night keeps getting better and better! Let's go"

    I thought this was a fantastic episode. I love the relationship between Loreli and Christopher. He's such a romantic guy. I also loved how much Loreli loved teasing Emily about the jail thing. I'm sure she'll get a lot of mileage out of that one for a long time to come! All in all I think this show rocks!!!

    Lorelai and Christopher have been happily dating for the last six weeks. Lorelai. And CHRISTOPHER. And, for Rory, it's awk...ward. Not as awkward (read: hated) as it is for me! The only one who seems to be on my side is Sookie, who reminds Lorelai that she just broke up with Luke and that this whole Chris thing is dangerous. And that Chris is a dick. Seriously, if David Sutcliffe and Lauren Graham could stop making out for FIVE SECONDS, I would appreciate that. Chris takes Lorelai on a fantastic date in a convertible to watch Funny Face on the side of a barn and yada yada yada, I'm mad. She finally admits that she maybe doesn't trust the new relationship yet and needs to wait before taking a big leap of commitment. Luke, also annoying the crap out of me, seems perfectly happy in his new life as well, especially because April is coming to live with him for a while. He's thrilled, you know, because it gives him a chance to be twice as curmudgeonly as he panics nonstop over the various dangers of caring for a young person. April is still cute, but I still wish she didn't exist, especially because she is trying to set Luke up with all her teachers. Summer is over, and Rory has gone back to school. She's all sad in the swanky apartment by herself, but gets right back in the swing of things at the paper. She meets some wacky new friends on an assignment at an art show. They are super-annoying. On the G-Unit front, Richard is asked to be a guest lecturer at Yale, and Emily is pulled over and arrested! To her extreme delight, Lorelai gets to be the one to pick Emily up from the hoosegow. She's so happy about that, she decides to throw caution to the wind and spend the night with mister s'wonderful. Boo.moreless

    • They imply that Emily was taken to the same police station that Rory was. When Lorelai was on the phone, she said that she knew how to get there because she had been there before. Edit
    • In this episode, Lorelai picks someone up from jail for the third time (first Luke, then Rory, and now Emily). Edit
    • Anna told Luke that April would tell him that she had to be at school early but she really didn't have to go so early. Rory played that trick on Lorelai when she was little. Edit

    • Sookie: Ok its you know, after breaking up out of a big relationship it's normal to have a rebound thing. A big bouncy rubber ball of a rebound thing. It's good. Lorelai: But? Sookie: But. A rubber ball is a 28 yr old surfer, or a jazz saxophonist who drives a VW bus, or a really cute guy that can't even spell his last name. It's not the father of your only child. Christopher is not your rubber ball. He's a big heavy bowling ball! Edit
    • April: Wow. I don't think I've ever met a person who hasn't been to Target. Luke: Well, now you have. But if you say that's the place to go, then we'll go. April: It's the place to go. Edit
    • April: Hey, is it all right if I read a while longer before turning out the light? Luke: A real page-turner, huh? April: Oh yeah, Mitosis is insane. Luke: Knock yourself out. Edit

    • Lucy: So the next semester, he keeps hounding me about how I'd be perfect for his production of California Suite because I have such a gift for physical comedy. California Suite is a 1976 play by Neil Simon about five couples, all set in one hotel suite in California. It is a bittersweet comedy. The first couple hail from New York City and are engaged in a custody battle. The second are from Philadelphia; the husband has had sex with another woman and is trying to prevent his wife from seeing the girl in the bed. The third are from London; she is nominated for an Academy Award, he is gay. The fourth and fifth are two couples from Chicago, who fight constantly while they are on vacation together. Edit
    • Lorelai: Here, where? Are we at Woodstock? I think we're late. The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was a rock festival held at Max Yasgur's dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. For many, it exemplified the counterculture of the 1960s and the "hippie era". Many of the best-known musicians of the time appeared during the rainy weekend, captured in a successful 1970 movie, Woodstock. Edit
    • Paris: We're like the Ephron and Bernstein of the group.

      Nora Ephron, an acclaimed essayist, novelist and playwright, was married from 1976 to 1980 to Carl Bernstein, an American journalist who wrote for The Washington Post. They divorced when Bernstein had and affair with Margaret Jay, the wife of a British politician. The account of her marriage and divorce was chronicled in her book Heartburn Edit
