Valentine, The Destroyer
Updated 2006-02-18 16:00:00
Logan invites Rory to his family's house in the Vineyard for the holiday, and invites Lorelai and Luke to come along with them. Lorelai is hesitant because "Luke is not a Valentine's kind of guy." No kidding? Luke's worried about being in the middle of Logan and Rory's relationship, concerned that they will break up right in font of him and Lorelai. It's weird to see the folks away from Stars Hollow, and it's a bit awkward for them, as well. Apparently, Luke doesn't know how to behave around people? He can't travel well? I don't know; it's just further evidence that the writers are turning him into a curmudgeonly jerk. He pretty much behaves like a six-year-old, and Lorelai actually expresses a real emotion to try to get him to act right. Logan saves Luke's ass and gives him a necklace to give to Lorelai for Valentine's Day. Lorelai finally tells him (and his hairpiece) about her concerns about their June 3rd wedding's being cancelled. He assures her that they will be married soon and even goes so far as to say, repeatedly, that he loves her, a phrase practically unprecedented on this show. All is sweetness and light, until Mitchum Huntzberger shows up at the house and he and Logan throw down. He berates Logan and forces him to go on a business trip to London, cutting everyone's weekend short. Lorelai is alarmed when, returning home, she finds out that her mother has made an engagement announcement in the paper, advertising the wedding date as June 3rd.
