So something big arrived here for the Gilmore's. Jason's father basically invites himself over for Friday night dinner and that's where things explode. Things start off fine, Jason says his father seems to be in a good mood, Emily is reunited with a friend and Lorelai is happy with Jason. When Rory leaves things drop, Richard, Jason Floyd (His father) go for a cigar and Floyd drops the lawsuit bombshell.
Both Jason and Richard are shocked and furious, Jason demands he take it back but with no luck. But it doesn't stop there, Floyd then reveals in front of everyone that he knows about Lorelai and Jason, due to a private investigator. Also its revealed that Richard has put his pension in trouble. Which I'd imagine is what causers Emily's annoyance at the ordeal.
Here things seem fine, Lorelai and Jason go to his place and get drunk but there still together. Richard tells Emily it will be fine and talks things through with Jason. But .... we then see Richard making a deal with Floyd which leaves Jason out of the picture. This is trouble and I'd say this move is what causes the two break-ups mentioned in the next episodes information.
Now onto Rory. She has another run in with Dean when he drops a bookcase of at her dorm. He tells her he's dropped out of college for a while which annoys Rory because she thinks he deserves to go to school. they fight and he leaves. In an amusing scene, Rory then rants to Lane about how she is mad at Lindsey for letting him do it, but to her dismay, Lindsey is around the corner and hears her harsh words.
Later when driving home, Rory is stopped by a flustered Dean and he takes her somewhere quiet. He apologises for his attitude earlier and says that he think she's the only one who wants the right things for him. He then goes on to say that Lindsey has asked him not to see her anymore which saddens Rory. But he claims he doesn't want that to happen, she agrees. He leaves but this shows us they obviously still have strong feelings for each other.
Meanwhile, Kirk has to find rotting Easter eggs hidden in the square, Luke helps him out which shows what a nice guy he can be. Plus I have to say one of the highlights of the episode was Emily's impression of a future clients wife, hilarious (It's in the quotes section of the episode) While this wasn't my favourite of the season, it was definitely a big episode for future events.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Lorelai: You haven't seen them in a while. Jason: Well, I've seen Mom occasionally, but Floyd and I really haven't spoken since the great schism, not that Harry Chapin isn't dying to rise from the grave and write a song about us. I'm a little nervous. Jason left his dad's firm in "The Hobbit, the Sofa, and Digger Stiles," episode 4-3, hence, it isn't actually true that he hasn't spoken to Floyd since he left his father's firm. He spoke to him in episode 4-13, "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" when Floyd came to their table and they chatted about his golf game. Addition: Jason is probably talking about not having really spoken in depth with his father, other than small talk at a party. Edit
- Floyd Stiles mentioned that he last saw Lorelai at a summer camp. But he actually should have seen her several months before in "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" where Jason and Lorelai have to play a couple and he came to their table.This also brings up the fact that Lorelai did not know who Floyd was when he approached Jason at the table.While it had been a long time and she may not have known him in a crowded restaurant you would assume that despite the coolness of him and Jason conversation she would have recognized him as his father once they began talking. Edit
- When they begin the egg clean up, Joe immediately finds the egg, and isn't anywhere near where the egg would have been hidden, why didn't a kid find this one? Edit

ADD QUOTES- Richard: Well the girls don't know the big news about Jason and me. Lorelai: You're pregnant? Richard: We're acquiring another company. Lorelai: I was close. Rory: Already? You just started yours. Richard: The insurance business is changing so rapidly, you have to adapt to keep up. Rory: It's a dog-eat-dog world, Grandpa. Richard: Don't get the wrong idea. It's not a big company. It's smaller than ours, but very powerful. Lorelai: Wait, the company is smaller than yours? Your company is two guys, you and Jason. Richard: This company is a one-man operation, Bob Sutton. Lorelai: So, you're acquiring Bob? Richard: We're acquiring his company, and his company is him. Lorelai: Did he have to give himself two weeks' notice? Richard: No. Lorelai: Is there gonna be a sad little going-away party where he brings in his own cake and blows out his candles? Edit
- Kirk: (after Luke gives him the last 12 eggs) Thank you. Thank you! (shouting) I love you Luke Danes! I love you! Luke: (muttering) I'm stupid. Kirk: (still shouting) I love you. I love Luke Danes! I love! Edit
- Kirk: Flower Show's tomorrow. Flower Show's tomorrow and I can't find the last twelve eggs. I let Taylor down. He's like a father to me. I think he is my father. Luke: He's not your father. Kirk: No, my father's my father. Which means Taylor's my tailor. I wonder how much he charges to mend pants. Edit

Harry Chapin is a singer/ song writter who is famous for singing "Cat's in the Cradle", a song about a father and son. Edit
