The night before the Gilmores’ re-wedding, Emily comes to Lorelai’s because she just picked up her dress. It’s not right and she wants Lorelai to fix it. She sees Luke fixing his boat when she gets there. He awkwardly congratulates her on her re-wedding, and she makes sure to tell him he’s supposed to congratulate the groom and offer the bride best wishes. Then she goes inside. Lorelai tries to fix the dress as quickly as possible and rush Emily out the door, but then Richard calls and says he hopes Emily is having a good time at her bachelorette party. Lorelai doesn’t know what else to do but call all her friends and make them come over. Emily gets drunk and has a good time.

Rory looks super cute in her best man outfit. Lorelai’s dress is kind of ugly. Emily’s dress is also kind of ugly, but the sight of her brings tears to Richard’s eyes. During the ceremony, Rory sees Logan whispering with some blond girl. When Lorelai sees Christopher at the reception, she finally tells Luke that she and Chris got drunk together after his dad died.

Chris gets drunk and stares at Lorelai and Luke all night. Rory frowns as she watches Logan and his date laugh and have a good time. Chris goes to another room and Rory follows him. He tells her about the first time Lorelai kissed him and says it was the greatest day of his life. Wow, that’s kind of sad, don’t you think?

Rory walks up to Logan and asks him to dance. Before Rory can even ask, Logan says the blonde is a friend of the family, not a girlfriend. Rory asks Logan if he’s ever going to ask her out. He says he’s not boyfriend material and he wouldn’t be able to commit to her. She insists she’s not looking for a boyfriend and just wants to date. He doesn’t believe her, but then she grabs a bottle and drags him off into the other room to make out.

Christopher sits down next to Lorelai and Luke. He tries to talk about old times and makes Luke jealous, but Lorelai does her best to discourage him. Then Cousin Marilyn says Emily wants a picture, so Lorelai goes off to find Rory. When she finds her making out with Logan, she yells at her. Then Christopher yells at Logan and then Luke comes in and starts threatening him, too. Rory and Logan slip away, and Christopher tells Luke he and Lorelai belong together. He says Emily came to him and told him it wasn’t too late for him. Lorelai tries to tell Luke she doesn’t know what Chris is talking about, but Luke takes off and Lorelai tells Emily she’s finished with her.

Babette: You may look highbrow, Emily, but underneath you’re just a broad.
