Gilmore Girls Season Six, Episode Thirteen: Friday Night’s Alright for Fighting
Lorelai wakes up really early and starts to leave the house all sneaky and wakes up Luke. She’s supposed to meet Sookie at the flower mart to look for wedding flowers and she didn’t want to tell Luke. Lorelai tells Sookie the wedding is postponed and she immediately thinks it’s Lorelai’s fault. Lorelai explains about April. Lorelai decides not to cancel everything right away in the hopes that Luke will come around.
Richard calls Lorelai to tell her a check to Yale has been returned. Lorelai calls Rory to tell her she should let them know Christopher is paying for Yale. Rory doesn’t seem to care about it, so Lorelai calls her parents to tell them there was no mistake. Emily slams down the phone, but Richard hangs on. Lorelai assures him this is not a snub and they shouldn’t be offended. She tells him she and Rory will come have dinner Friday night.
Rory finally tells Logan he can take her to dinner on Thursday night. She’s looking through the Yale Daily News on Thursday afternoon and finds a blank spot where a photo should be. She goes to the office and finds Paris all in a tizzy and by that night almost the entire staff has quit. Paris is hiding in her bunker, and Rory goes in to tell her what’s happening. Paris doesn’t want to hear it so she puts on her noise reduction headphones and keeps working. Rory leaves the bunker and takes over. Logan shows up at the paper and Rory apologizes for forgetting their date. He helps out tremendously and the paper ends up going out on time. Then Paris comes out of her hole and congratulates everyone.
Lorelai gets a message from Luke telling her April’s going to be at the diner until eight so he’ll see Lorelai after eight. Lorelai’s a little annoyed. She goes to the soda shoppe and has to deal with everyone looking through the window at April. Later that night, all Luke can talk about is how smart April is. He thanks Lorelai for understanding that he and April need time alone to get to know each other.
When the Girls get to dinner on Friday night, Richard is reading a book and Emily is painting a moonscape on the patio. A big fight starts when Rory tries to explain about Christopher paying for Yale. Lorelai stops everyone from leaving the room and says they need to work things out. This is my favorite sequence in the whole series, a big montage of fighting during dinner, dessert and drinks.

That Friday night dinner = ever dinner with my mother, including the bit in the middle where everyone seems relatively happy. She really is Emily. Go figure.
