The Planetarium Story
Updated 2006-11-27 16:00:00
Lorelai and Christopher are back in town. Lorelai is desperate to tell Rory about their marriage, and worried about how she will react. Chris, of course, blows this off, because he is clueless about human emotions other than his own. Poor Rory tries to pretend to be excited in front of Christopher, but when she and Lorelai are alone, she gets very upset. Later, they work it all out. All of these changes are hard for Lorelai, too. Logan surprises Rory again by showing up in town out of the blue to plan his new company's launch party. (He has another surprise as well -- he's moving to New York.) He's very sweet to her when she tells him about her parents; unfortunately, he's less sweet when she writes a story about the launch party. It's not exactly flattering, and he accuses her of being judgmental of wealthy people, when she herself is one of them. They have a big argument, but she realizes later that he's right, and they make up. She decides, though, to move out of Logan's apartment so that she can be self-sufficient. Luke is still looking after April and is freaked out about her going to her first boy-girl party. They get in their first fight when he won't let her attend because she is ill with a fever. Luke calls Lorelai for advice about the sick kid, and ends up taking April to the hospital for that perennial TV favorite, appendicitis. When Lorelai meets Luke at the emergency room to support him, he notices her wedding band but says nothing. It's saaaad. But, hark! Is there hope on the horizon? In April's hospital room, he sees the end of The Philadelphia Story and...well, I can't decide what it means, exactly, but I'm hopeful nonetheless.
