This was a great episode, Emily and Richard's marriage is perhaps in trouble. In fact it is, judging by the final scene anyway. I liked how Lane got a new apartment, it was funny when that girl changed upstairs, she wouldn't shut up. Plus Zach and the other band mate arguing was funny too. I hope she and Mrs Kim make up soon.
Dean is obviously overwhelmed with married life and it shows. We see wife for the first tome this season and she seems to love him. But we end up knowing that Dean still loves Rory when he stares at her while talking to Luke. Plus the fact that he's at an arcade all the time isn't good.
Lorelai and Emily connecting was a nice scene, shame what Lorelai said didn't work. It was very amusing to see Emily just buy everything she could, well order it to be bought. I'm glad Luke paid Lorelai the money, still can't wait for them to get together.moreless

TRIVIA (10)
ADD TRIVIA-
When Rory and Lorelai are window-shopping, Rory's wearing red nail polish, but later that day when they're taking inventory at Luke's, the nail polish is gone.
-
The mall scene in this episode takes place at the Burbank Town Center in Los Angeles, CA. The store they first enter "to get rid of the bored feeling from window shopping" is Forever 21, and the store where Emily goes nuts is Macy's.
-
On the table at Luke's when Lorelai and Rory are sorting through what Emily bought them towards the end of the episode, several items, including the blue and pink little clutch purses, change spots and positions throughout the scene.
-
At the end of the episode, when Lorelai and Rory are taking inventory in Luke's Diner, they argue over the free tote bag that came with their purchase. Previously, in episode 4.1 "Ballrooms and Biscotti," they mention not having any tote bags, stating how unbelievable it is that they never received one for spending over $50 of Clinique products.
-
When Emily tries to buy Lorelai a watch, Lorelai says that she doesn't wear a watch. In episodes prior, specifically season two "Red Light on Wedding Night" and "Sadie Sadie" Lorelai is wearing a watch.
Possible Explanation: Lorelai might have been lying to Emily. Before this scene took place, Lorelai had made it pretty clear that she didn't want to shop with Emily and she didn't want Emily to buy her anything. She could have simply been trying to stop Emily from buying her the watch by lying to her.
-
Rory and Lorelai keep saying that they are too broke to buy anything from the mall, yet they manage to scrounge up enough money to treat Emily to lunch and buy something from practically every restaurant in the food court. For that matter, Rory and Lorelai always seem to be "short on money," but they eat out or order in food almost every day.
-
At Friday night dinner when Richard comes out of his office, you can see that he doesn't close the door behind him. When the camera shoots to Lorelai you can hear a door close and when there is a faraway shot you can see that the door to Richard's office is still open.
-
Paris goes crazy about Rory spreading cold germs by opening the door to leave their room, she starts spraying and applying flame to the door knob -- the outer doorknob. If Rory were leaving the room, she only would have touched the inside doorknob, which Paris ignored.
-
In Lane's apartment scene, her first mail lying on the floor in the middle of her apartment. If the apartment has a door slot for the mail, the mail would not have flown that far into the apartment.
-
Lorelai and Rory mention that they have never seen anyone window-shop in a movie. As they are quite the film geeks, it seems highly unlikely that they haven't watched Breakfast at Tiffany's which begins with Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) window shopping at Tiffany's New York.
