    I loved this episode, it's the first episode of the show that I've given a ten. It was just exactly why I watch the show, it had humour, entertaining arguments and was at times, fun. The start was confusing, of course it ended up being a dream, for a minute I thought I'd bought the wrong season or something. It was weird seeing Luke and Lorelai as a couple, when we all want them to be one.

    We also are told that Rory still has strong feelings for Jess. It was interesting to see Lorelai so phased by the Christopher thing, good though. I really liked her phone call with Emily, very funny. Emily being sure that Rory got back on Friday, not Saturday. The whole thing about calling them as soon as they got home.

    Kirk is a main character, I'm not really bothered, he's very weird but can be funny. The cow thing was amusing. I really liked Paris here, it was good to see her and Rory being friends, her comments were great here. 'Okay, now get in the closet' and when she was talking in her sleep. All very funny stuff. Hope Paris is like this throughout the season.

    Now Rory's return, it was really enjoyable. It was so obvious that she was getting ready for jess and how excited she was, I wasn't complaining as I'd like her and Jess to be a couple. The song in the background of the festival matched it well, fairly amusing too. It was great when Rory saw Jess making out with that blonde girl, Lorelai knew she was upset straight away.

    I liked there discussion, Lorelai was obviously in the right, but you can see how its hard for Rory. I liked how Lorelai kept saying, I'll do this so you can be with Dean and Rory make excuses. Sookie and Jackson were very entertain and funny here to. It was hilarious when Sookie made the house more 'manly'. And there were little bits, like seeing them getting rid of the stuffed bear, Mrs Kim appearing from nowhere in the shop, all brilliant.

    I like how both Lorelai and Rory are freezing out Christopher and not just one. The dinner was good, the scone mix was amusing, as was Emily and Richard's tiff over the whole Christopher thing, I actually liked how Lorelai just walked out, without them noticing.

    Her scene with Luke, I liked. Glad they finally met up, he's always nice to her when she needs him. They NEED to get together. Good ending scene with Rory and Lorelai sitting on the sofa, discussing things. Excellent season premier, my favourite episode to date, can't wait for the rest of series three!moreless

    I loved this episode! Lorelai having that dream was hysterical! I thought I skipped an episode when I was watching the beginning. I loved that Rory was her "dream doctor". Rory still having to pick between Jess and Dean - pick Dean! We like him better... well I do anyway. The scene where Lorelai goes to pick up Rory and they sit down in the middle of the airport - priceless Gilmore moment. Laughing my a** off that Lorelai gave Rory all that Hartford, Connecticut stuff. Lorelai is such a great mom, she even got rory out of Friday night dinner! I'm surprised Emily believed that. Lorelai having to break the news to her parents that Christopher was having a baby must have been really hard and took a tool out on her. Sookie and Jackson's fight between manly and non-manly was funny too. I like Lorelai's suggestion - staple bacon onto the walls! The scene where Lorelai and Luke finally talk again was great! I could just feel Lorelai's pain and getting into the emotions with her. I mean, where does she go from here? She'll find love - I, and Luke, promises her that. Heck yes for the doughnut!

    Great way to start the season.
    I have to admit, when I saw all those alarm clocks and Lorelai and Luke talking like they lived together and the babies... I got scared, I though "I've missed a lot! What is going on?".
    I was all a dream.

    Rory is in DC and is coming back home. Paris is asked on a date and they guy is just like her, perfect match.
    Rory is divided between Dean and Jess and gets upset when she sees Jess with another girl at the town summer festival.
    She tells Lorelai what happened at Sookie's wedding and they fight about it.

    It's Friday, dinner day, Lorelai tells her parents that she and Chris at not together anymore. Emily wants to know the reason and she says that Sherry, Chris ex-girlfriend, is pregnant.
    Richard and Emily start to discuss it and Lorelai leaves, she goes to Luke as Mini, a new costumer and they made up.
    Rory later says that she will stay with Dean.moreless

    I really like this episode because as much as i like Dean for his stability and his caring nature, he really didnt bring anything new or exciting into her life. I love how Rory and Lorelai miss each other terribly and you can tell because they have so much funny banter that i love. I also loved this episode beacause I love anything Luke and Lorelai! I loved her dream that she had about being married and having kids with Luke. I just wish it would have really happened but at least this episode gave us a sense of hope that they were probably going to have a future together that we could look forward to.moreless

    Lorelai has a very interesting dream that her and Luke where married and she was pregnant with twins. Rory while in Washington is not sure of relationship with Jess, and Sookie and Jackson argue over decorating their house. Paris is asked out on her first date with a guy in Washington and she is very unsure of herself and Rory helps her. Lorelai has not yet told her parents about Christopher going back to his girlfriend who is pregnant. Rory is back and sees Jess making out with a girl and she realize may have feeling for him. When Lorelai notices, they fright and Rory tells her that they kiss at the wedding. Lorelai tells Emily and Richard about Christopher and Emily does not like it because she feels like Christopher, Rory and Lorelai should be a family. Richard understands Christopher and that cause an argument between the two of them. Lorelai goes to Luke's dinner and Luke and her make up and she tells him all about Chris and cries to him. Rory and her talk and tells her she does not want to date Jess.moreless

    • Although Jess appears in this episode, he doesn't say anything. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Lorelai: You're upset. Rory: I'm not upset. Lorelai: Yes you are. I can always tell when you're upset, because you look like my mother. Rory: Thanks a lot! Lorelai: What? You like my mother. Rory: Yes, but you don't like your mother, so it's not exactly a compliment. Edit
    • Paris: I can't do this. Rory: What? Paris: Date. I can't date. I'm not genetically set up for it. Rory: Not true. Paris: I get no pleasure out of the prospect or the preparation. I'm covered in hives, I've showered four times, and for what? Some guy who doesn't even have the brains to buy a Zagat so we don't wind up in a restaurant that's really just a front for a cocaine laundering ring? Edit
    • Paris: For example, I can instantly deduce that when someone hears the name "Paris" in the same sentence with the word "date," jaws will drop, confused looks will cover faces, words like "how" and "why" and "Quick, Bob, get the children in the minivan because the world is obviously coming to an end." will immediately fly out of people's mouths.

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Paris: (talking in her sleep) I did not have sex with that woman. This is a reference to a statement Bill Clinton made when questioned about his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. Edit
    • Luke: (to Lorelai's belly) Goodbye, Sid and Nancy. Lorelai: Leopold and Loeb. I changed my mind, don't tell Rory. Sid Vicious of The Sex Pistols and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen had a controversial relationship, to say the least. Leopold and Loeb were two wealthy University of Chicago students who were convicted of a 1924 murder in a sensational trial that received national attention. Edit
    • Paris: (talking in her sleep) Woodward... Bernstein... Harry Thomason... Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were reporters for The Washington Post who broke the story of Watergate, which began the downfall of Richard Nixon, as dramatized in All the President's Men (1976). Harry Thomason is a close friend of President Bill Clinton and U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and played a major role in President Clinton's election campaigns. Edit
