So Trix has finally gone, well she died. This was a good move and it sort of fixed Emily and Richard's marriage problems, well to some degree anyway. It was hilarious to see Emily getting drunk and smoking, she just didn't care anymore and what entertainment it was. As for Richard, he is devastated by his mothers death but there some amusing scenes. But overall in his case, it was quite sad.
Even Lorelai was affected, we can see this when she has a meltdown when buying some under for her deceased grandmother. That was amusing due to the shop keepers reaction. Jason arrives and is hugged by Richard which shocks him, plus we learn he doesn't go to funerals. This was a long time coming, the death of Trix.
It was interesting to see the same actress playing someone else, I wonder if we'll see more of her. Rory was nice to Richard and perhaps helped him through the wake. As for her at school, Doyle is funny at times and I admit I'm warming to him. The best part here was when Rory lied and said she was close to her 'grandmother' he then said she could continue with what she was doing and told her he lost his grandmother recently,
Rory becomes guilty and admits all, funny stuff. Then we have Luke and Nicole. there having obvious problems and it was great to see everyone so interested. Does this mean its over as Nicole obviously states that there place isn't really there place. Personally I'm glad to see the end of this relationship, purely because I want Lorelai and Luke to FINALLY get together.
So now I'm into the last six episodes of the season, I can't wait!moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- While the patrons of Luke's Diner are listening to Luke and Nicole fight, you can see Miss Patty standing a few feet outside the door, waiting for her cue to enter. Edit
- Given the great friendship Luke and Lorelai share, it's very weird that not once in the entire episode does Luke present his condolences to her. He's always there for her, even in season 7 while they're broken up and have nearly zero contacts, he rushes to the hospital to check on her after he finds out that Richard has been admitted. Edit
- Rory finds out that Gran met Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. These are the same presidents that Forrest Gump met. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- German episode titel: "Ein Trauerfall", meaning "Bereavement". French episode title: "La Reine Lorelai", meaning "The Queen Lorelai". Edit
- In the scene where Michel is trying to tape the dog show, he mentions something about Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle. At the end of that movie, during the bloopers, it shows Bernie Mac's character talking to Melissa McCarthy, who plays Sookie. Edit
- Recurring guest star Marion Ross, who played Trix, settles into her new role as cousin Marilyn. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- (Lorelai is having a meltdown at a underwear store) Lorelai: Hello the woman is dead, she is dead. she can't tell if it's the right size. She wanted fresh cloths and I'm here buying her fresh cloths so if she has a problem with the size or the strawberry print she can rise from the dead and came back here and yell at me herself. Because, you know what?, if any one could that tough old crazy wonderful broad would be the one. You take VISA right? Edit
- (Emily and Lorelai are organizing Trix's papers and they run across an old letter) Emily: This is to your father. It's a carbon copy of a letter she send to your father. Lorelai: Oh it's nice. Emily: "My dearest Richard, it's with heavy heart that I write this letter tonight but I can not stand by and let you make a terrible mistake. Until now I've thought, hoped, prayed that you would came to the same conclusion that I have. But you have not and therefor I feel it is my duty as your mother to beg you to reconsider your impending marriage. I'm sure that Emily is a very suitable woman for someone but not for you, she will not be able to make you happy. She does not have the Gilmore stamina or spark, she is simply not a Gilmore." Lorelai: Well sure 'cus you weren't directly related to him. Emily: "I don't know the circumstances surrounding your break up with Pennilyn Lott but it is still my belief that she is much better suited for you than Emily. I know that the timing of this is particularly awkward since you are to be married tomorrow!!!" Lorelai: No way! Emily: "But your happiness is to important to me so timing be dammed." Lorelai: She wanted dad to leave you in the alter. Emily: She begged him to leave me at the alter, she begged in writing and then she saved the carbon. Edit
- Glen: My month lasts a month. Your month lasts three days. That, people, is the story of my life!! Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Doyle: Breeding ground for the next Jayson Blair! Jayson Blair worked for the New York Times and was caught committing journalistic fraud. He faked entire interviews, faked quotes, and stole from other newspapers. Edit
- Doyle: Can you say Stephen Glass? Stephen Glass was a reporter for The New Republic and was caught basing stories of fake quotes, sources and events. Edit
- Rory: Snails? Emily: Escargot. Lorelai: A slimy thing by any other name... Lorelai's line is based on a famous quote from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet says, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Lorelai is implying that no matter what Emily calls them, they are still snails. Edit
